Mt. Ephraim Related Paintings

  

The Spring in Mt. Ephraim in this painting was a special place. People would get their drinking water from here. 

Through my painting discoveries I have learned a lot of things. One was that there once was a Christian Church in Mt. Ephraim in addition to the Methodist one. This is a painting from the old town as it once was. I think the area represented here is near where the township building stand today.

This is just a little part of the back field of the Williams property. 

This is a  painting of the old Masonic Hall is Mt. Ephraim OH. Because of its poor condition, the building was condemned for use by the Masons.

The Poulton’s daughter asked me to paint this house in Mt. Ephraim. The house no longer stands.

This is a view of Old Town Mt. Ephraim showing the Williams home on the left, the old school across from the cemetery and the barn that sat on the property that used to be on the Graham property.

The Rich home.  This was painted for a former student whose grandparents and other relatives live(d) here.

The Stiles property that stood across the road from the Red and White Store. The garage was later the U.S. Post Office in Mt. Ephraim.

      The Bates farm and tractor on Possum Road SR566

The old Bates property. Dallas was one of my teachers at Mt. Ephraim School. This house is now near to being torn down.

The old Red and White Store in Mt. Ephraim OH, Noble County. It used to be run by the Bates’s family.

                        The Bates Farm in fall. This was the former Vorhies farm I believe. 

 The old Mt. Ephraim School. This was painted from a picture supplied to me by the late Nancy Rudge. (Nancy’s mother, Mary, grew up in Mt. Ephraim and likely attended here.)

The Miley family lived in this old Gibson House (a former children’s home) when I was young. A friend in my class at school lived here. Her mother died when my friend was five years old. I’ll never forget that. I thought how awful it must be to lose your mother at so young of an age. 

A former student asked me to paint this picture of the Mt. Ephraim Hotel.
