Comments on: Boys Industrial School http://ohiogenealogy.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/boys-industrial-school/ News, events, and research tips from the Ohio Historical Society staff Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:47:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: ohiohistory http://ohiogenealogy.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/boys-industrial-school/#comment-1435 ohiohistory Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:47:13 +0000 http://ohiogenealogy.wordpress.com/2007/01/27/boys-industrial-school/#comment-1435 I tried truncating the search to Joseph B--- but did not find any near matches. It is possible that the staff so mis-spelled his name upon entry that you would need to look through the 1916 volume page by page to find him. You are welcome to come into the library to do this or to contact us to have us do a paid research request for you. I tried truncating the search to Joseph B— but did not find any near matches.

You could try contacting the Department of Youth Services http://www.dys.ohio.gov/dnn/ for more information on recent activities.

We don't have records after 1944 that document the young men residing at the Boy's Industrial School. We do have some pictures, which you are welcome to come into the library to research.

The first time was in 1968, and I was in the Muskingum cottage for 7 months. The second time in 1969 in the Patterson cottage for 11 months. I look back at those times with fond memories, as it wasn't a bad experience for me. I was a wild kid, and those were wild times. I would like to find more information about the institution as well as some photos. I was an inmate at the Boy’s Industrial School twice as a teenager.

He entered on 9/28/1916 and was released 3/14/1925. His parents were Stephen and Claudia Bakalar. I was wondering if you have anything that can prove of this. I know his birthdate was Feb 4,1910. Anything would help. I am trying to find records on Joseph Bakalar. He entered on 9/28/1916 and was released 3/14/1925. His parents were Stephen and Claudia Bakalar.

I could not find him in the index. Was there some other Lancaster, Ohio prison for young men under the age of 20?

I went there June 8, 1958 and left July 27th 1959. Such cruelty to young boys! Sadistic persons had their field days. A bullish man named Connors ran the creamery. I took a shortcut through the creamery and witnessed this man offer a cup of milk to whoever could take the hardest blow to the bhattoms of their feet with a small "Louisville Slugger" ball bat. They kept their brogans on but the painful grimaces on their faces told the yale. I stood with my mouth open til Connors said, What the ... are you looking at?" Nothing, I said and walked up the steps to the bakery. That scene has haunted me forever. There were other things, many things that happened on "the hill". My number was 54321. The "Field" was worse!

They belonged to the City of Lancaster and were sold to a man who then sold them to the school. The Lancaster Firefighters Historical Society recently purchased one of these trucks back and are in the process of resotring it. I would like any photo's or inof on these trucks.

You can see what we hold by going to our catalog at www.ohiohistory.org/occ and doing an author search for "Boys Industrial School" However, where our records stop may overlap the period you are interested in, so you may need to contact the Department of Youth Services for more information. They are the state agency that was responsible for the BIS during the 1960's. Their website is http://www.dys.ohio.gov/dysweb/default.aspx Kim,
