✈️🇺🇸 VETERANS DAY | TWO BROTHERS, ONE LEGACY

Steubenville brothers Jerome and John “Ellis” Edwards answered the call to serve their country during World War II and became part of the historic Tuskegee Airmen legacy.

Both graduates of Steubenville High School, the brothers pursued aviation at a time when opportunities for Black pilots were severely limited. Their determination opened doors and demonstrated that courage and talent know no boundaries.

Jerome earned his wings and served as a fighter pilot before losing his life in a training accident in 1943. His younger brother, Ellis, carried their family’s legacy forward, serving as a Tuskegee Airman and earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service.

Today, we remember the Edwards brothers—not only for the barriers they helped break, but for the courage, sacrifice, and pride they brought to Steubenville and our nation. 🇺🇸

Two brothers. Two heroes. One lasting legacy.

This tag was found in the wall of the Phil Mor at 336 Market Street.

The "Slidewell" brand originated with Hall, Hartwell & Co., a major shirt and collar manufacturer based out of Troy, NY. While Hall, Hartwell & Co. built the primary market identity of the Slidewell line around men's dress furnishings (most notably detachable dress collars and shirts featuring patented tie-sliding technology), they actively extended the brand name across wider menswear lines.

Given the explicit baseball illustration featuring two players sliding on the diamond, this specific label likely served one of two garment functions during baseball's Deadball Era (roughly 1900 to 1919). "Slidewell" highlighted friction protection on athletic utility trousers and sportswear to signal heavy-duty, movement-friendly construction.

Last week we dug up a buried bottle in the back fill of the two story part of the Phil-Mor at 336 Market St.

The bottle originates from The Huebner Brewing Company of Toledo, Ohio, a prominent regional brewing enterprise that later operated under the umbrella of The Huebner-Toledo Breweries Co. following its 1905 consolidation with other local breweries. Led by German-American brewer Jacob Huebner, the company grew into one of the largest brewing syndicates in Ohio before national Prohibition halted standard operations in the era leading up to 1919–1920.

This specific 12-ounce amber bottle can be dated to the mid-to-late 1910s (circa 1913–1919) based on its manufacturing characteristics and regulatory embossing. The distinct base text reading "PURE AND WITHOUT DRUGS OR POISON" reflects strict compliance language inspired by the landmark 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act, while its machine-made crown top and bold raised lettering identify it as a classic example of pre-Prohibition Ohio bottle manufacturing.

The sidewalk caverns were filled this morning.

This is a small part of the needed comprehensive steps to modernize a safe and serviceable downtown for the future. We are providing a new sidewalk on Market Street for the city as part of the development.
