I don't know why it never previously occurred to me to include a small map of our mutual hometown of Logan, Ohio. Thankfully, the city of Logan has helped me with that with its excellent Historic Walking Tour.
My great-grandfather, A.E. Huls, built the Huls house at 212 E Hunter Street (upper right, #24) in 1902, just in time for Uncle Charley's December birth. My grandfather was born there in August 1904.
Years later, in anticipation of Uncle Charley's June 1925 graduation from The Ohio State University with a degree in journalism, he built the Huls Printing building at 51 E. Main Street (center, marked with a ⭐️). While it is not currently noted on the walking tour, the building still stands and houses the county's records.
Sadly my grandfather traded the house in 1947 (it cost too much to paint!) but we got a funny story out of it. Doc Yaw, with whom Grandpa had traded houses, was furious when he found out how much it would be to paint his new house.
Even sadder was Grandpa also sold the family business between 1970 and 1975. He didn't know he had a budding printer and journalist in the family....
