West of the Cuyahoga
A narrative history of Cleveland's West Side "In the beginning, two settlements straddled the Cuyahoga River at its northernmost reach, where it twists its way into Lake Erie. The older and larger of the two, Cleveland, was on the east bank. The younger community on the west bank was called Brooklyn Township, later to be known as the City of Ohio or, familiarly, Ohio City, and, ultimately, the West Side. The twain faced each other as rival entities for many years, divided not only by the waters of the river but by political, historical, and economic differences as well." --from West of the Cuyahoga Longtime columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, George E. Condon turns his keen reportorial...

A George W. and Jessie Ward Condon Family History
In the early 1900's Henry Bourne Joy, president of the Packard Motor Car Company and first presdent of the Lincoln Highway Association, made a motor trip west across America to promote better roads. Arriv-ing in Omaha, he sought directions and was told that there was no road going directly west. Mr. Joy insisted that there must be a way. A man led him to the western edge of the city, took down a wire fence, pointed him westward, and informed him that he would encounter several more fences on his journey. Mr. Joy proceeded as instructed, taking down fence after fence until, as he recalled: "A little farther and there were no fences, no fields, nothing but two ruts across the prairie."*This was the setting into which George W. Condon and Jessie Ward were born. George and his company had a part in the construction of the famous coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway that stretched all the way across America. He and Jessie did not make an arduous journey through the country as did the pioneers, but they faced life with the same unbelievable courage, strength and love for each other and their family. * A Story Of Highway Development In Nebraska by George E. Koster
