Take a look back in time at Dover, Ohio through post cards.
In March of 1913, the state of Ohio was ravaged with floods.  It began with ice choked rivers followed by days of rain.  This slideshow is from the collection of the Dover Historical Society and shows the flooding in Dover, Ohio.
Whimsical post cards from the Pauline Seikel collection.  Pauline Seikel was the first woman to practice law in Tuscarawas County and the first woman elected to public office in Dover, serving as City Solicitor from 1938 to 1939.
