Everything in this book is true! This is an event that happened on June 1st, of 1935, and everyone that was involved is gone today. For almost 90 years now the family has asked the question, how could this happen to such a sweet and innocent woman, living in what has always been known as a very safe place to live? Her life on earth was short, and even her family never really knew her full story. She was adopted at birth. She found out she was adopted as a young teenager after her adopted mother took her to see a woman at the Toledo State Hospital. She was first described as her aunt, and then she was told the truth, that it was her real mother. She marries at 16 years old, with her adopted mother giving the consent. She and her husband live an ordinary life, in the rural community known as Sylvania Township in Lucas County, Ohio, with all the struggles that the Depression years brought. They had ten children, and after her husband passed away she had to take a night job to eek out a living. That job required her to walk approximately four and a half miles to and from work. One night she didn’t make it home. The county sheriff, coroner and prosecutor all agreed it wasn’t an accident, and that’s when the investigation began. Who did this to this sweet woman who was needed so badly at home? Will we ever find out the truth?

Join the author in reliving Sylvania's over 180 years of history from footpaths to expressways and beyond, in volume four of an eight volume set. With 30 years of research she has included every subject imaginable that helped bring Sylvania to where they are today, with excellent schools, over-the-top parks and recreation, rich beautiful homes, commercial and industrial businesses and a quaint historical dowtown that looks like it was planned by Norman Rockwell himself. This book is a treasure trove of information for the thousands who have ancestors that once lived and helped Sylvania grow through these years. Located in northwestern Ohio, Sylvania is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio and for many years has been known as "the fastest growing suburb in Lucas County." A once rural farm community, between both the city and township they have grown from a combined 2,220 residents in 1910, to 48,487 in 2010. Over a short period of time the land has transformed into beautiful subdivisions of grand houses, so that now their subdivision names are all that remain to remind them of their once dense forests and sprawling farmlands. No longer can Sylvania be called the "bedroom community" of Toledo, because over the last 50 years they have done a lot more than sleep.

Women Will Evangelize the World "Leadership is influence" John Maxwell Yes, leadership is influence, and women have got it. And behind every great man is a good woman. The woman was created to be a help meet for the man. Man's helper. But when it comes to the devil, woman is a major player of the household. That means if the devil is to destroy Adam's family, he has to get the woman in his corner, agreeing with him. Therefore, when the devil, Satan, got the woman, Eve; Adam was not a match. Satan had the whole family: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and the human race at large. Therefore, Mama Bear, the woman, is angry with her number-one enemy, the devil, and is now ready to evangelize and gather her children across the world, since Jesus has conquered and destroyed the power of the devil. God spoke to me and said, "Women will evangelize the world." Remember, history repeats itself. If the devil used woman to get Adam's family, it is obvious God will use women to gather Adam's family back to God's kingdom.
