The Ohio Country was the name used in the 18th century for the regions of North America west of the Appalachian Mountains and in the region of the upper Ohio River south of Lake Erie. This was one of the first frontier areas of the United States and described by pioneer settlers as ‘wet, wild and wooded.’
In 1884, Johann Carl Frederick Reimer emigrated from Germany with his family to America. In 1903, his son, Christian Johann Ernst Reimer, my great-grandfather, purchased 110 acres of fertile Great Black Swamp farm land near Gibsonburg, Ohio. This farm would provide sustenance for his family for over 75 years; harvesting wheat, corn, oats, grains and raising livestock.
“There are places we live and places that live in us…” Ohio lives in me. “…like fully expressed ideas perfectly constructed thoughts — like love.” Ohio love.
