Baker (excerpt):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonia,_New_York

Communities and locations in the Town of Caledonia

Baker – A hamlet in the northeast part of the town.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonia,_Ohio

Notable natives

Warren G. Harding was a resident of Caledonia during his childhood, and worked for a brief period of time at the community newspaper, The Argus.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_G._Harding

Upon graduating, Harding had stints as a teacher and insurance man, and made a brief attempt at studying law. He then raised $300 in partnership with others to purchase the failing Marion Daily Star, the weakest of the growing city’s three newspapers. By 1886, he completely owned the Star.[14][16]

….When Harding moved to unseat the Marion Independent as the official daily paper, he met with strong resistance from local figures, such as Amos Hall Kling, one of Marion’s wealthiest real estate speculators. The editorial battle with the Independent became so heated that, at the inevitable mention of Harding’s questionable bloodline, father and son brought a shotgun and demanded a retraction at gunpoint. They were successful.[18]
Florence Harding

While Harding won the war of words and made the Marion Daily Star one of the most popular newspapers in the county, the battle took a toll on his health. In 1889, at age 24, he suffered from exhaustion and nervous fatigue. He spent several weeks at the Battle Creek Sanitarium to regain his strength and ultimately made 5 visits over 14 years.[19] Harding later returned to Marion to continue operating the paper.

…. In the last year of his Presidency, anticipating no resumption of his journalism career following his years in the White House, Harding sold the Star to Louis H. Brush and Roy D. Moore for $550,000.[25]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwood_Anderson#Early_life

The Andersons headed north to Caledonia by way of a brief stay in a village of a few hundred called Independence (now Butler). Four[7] or five[8] years were spent in Caledonia, years which formed Anderson’s earliest memories. This period later inspired his semi-autobiographical novel Tar: A Midwest Childhood (1926).[9] In Caledonia Anderson’s father began drinking excessively, which led to financial difficulties, eventually causing the family to leave the town.[9]

7. Townsend (1987), 3
8. Rideout (2006), 18
9. Rideout (2006), 20. For connection between Tar and Caledonia, also see Anderson (1942), 14-16

The success of Dark Laughter put some extra money in Anderson’s pocket, and he used it in 1926 to purchase Ripshin, a small farm outside Marion in southwestern Virginia. Soon after, he also bought two newspapers, the Smyth County News and the Marion Democrat. As a newspaperman, Anderson immersed himself in local politics and even sometimes adopted an alter ego and pseudonym, Buck Fever, to report on colorful characters and events in town. (He collected some of his Buck Fever columns in 1929’s Hello Towns!) Anderson gave ownership of the newspapers to his son Robert in 1929….

Anderson moved from Caledonia to Clyde in 1884.

Taft and Harding are the last 2 (of 8) presidents born in Ohio. 2 of these 8 were assassinated (4, Garfield, and 6, McKinley). Both Taft and Harding only served 1 term. Taft was considered a “standard” president, while Harding is considered one of the worst, and could have been the first to be impeached had he not died in office. William Henry Harrison, the first Ohioan president, also died in office, the first president to do so.

Is Lafferty actually Faherty? There is no faher/ pop place in US. Is Faherty the successor or the chosen companion to Anderson?

Last night I looked for Lafferty novels for about 2 hours in the basement, remembering this:

Then this morning found out about the similar sounded Faherty through Rapture, IN. Seems too odd to dismiss.

Does Lafferty/Faherty fit into the 12/13 *middle* of Winesap, a second source? Rev. Hartman, also with tested faith, is Cinderella match for Rev. Owen Keane?

—–
Barton (var=Anderson; see above) in Belmont County, OH
Lafferty (2 of 2) in Belmont County, OH
father/ (included in name Faherty): Maynard (var=Fathermac) in Belmont County, OH

All these are quite close together.

Lafferty, Maynard, Barton

5 lined up “B”s of *B*elmont County, all on *B* & O RR and just below above.

There’s Lafferty, Maynard, Barton again, also lined up as it were.

Another “Father Mac”…

Let’s return to Willard-Note, then, highlighted by Warfield and others in GA. Willard-Music and also Willard-Sophi in KY seems to indicate the whole of Winesap as like a musical score, with Willard the key tone perhaps. He unites the grotesques in the stories, including the reverend. But there’s more to the story in Georgia. Here we have the birth of something new. This is at the end of tile 3 (of 12) spanning the entire United States like an up and down serpent, like a Serpent’s Mound serpent.

Why Kermit? Maybe — Gunsmoke has to do with it…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Strange

Glenn Strange (August 16, 1899 – September 20, 1973) was an American actor who mostly appeared in Western films. He is best remembered for playing Frankenstein’s monster in three Universal films during the 1940s and for his role as Sam Noonan, the popular bartender on CBS’s Gunsmoke television series.

… especially remembering variant name of Lovely, KY, near another Kermit, is Smoky Bottom.

Staying in Kentucky, we can certainly bring Mammoth Cave into the growing picture, and its own version of a Winesap. On the other side of Mammoth Cave from it we have a tight conjunction of Love and Lee… Lovely again.

Near Winesap (right next to a “Center Point”, btw) is Bee…

Hucka D.:

Yes? Sorry I’m late. I control Mammoth Cave. It’s not a Tiny subject. The Civil War was thought to be an event worth a picnic to begin but it opened up a vast sinkhole. That’s where I lived. You personally go in now you can’t get out. You’d break apart. All you can do is stand on the edge and watch… safe distance. You must go one up into Ohio to be free of it. Go now.

Willard/ edited (alphabetical sort by name; top part):

Same source; brief detour into neighboring Wilmot…

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Sam_Toomey

Martha invited Hurley inside for tea while she relayed the background with Sam and the numbers. She said that one night — about 16 years before Hurley’s visit — a voice appeared in the static “repeating those numbers over and over again”. Sam used the numbers to win $50,000 in a “Guess the Number of Beans” (within 10) contest at the fair in Kalgoorlie. Martha said the jar “must have been big as a pony, and it’s filled to the rim”, commenting that the man “had been running the same scam for 40 years and nobody had ever come close” until Sam hit it exactly by using all the Numbers (4,8,15,16,23,42).

On their way home from the fair, Sam and his wife were hit head-on by a truck that blew a tire on the highway, and Martha lost her leg, while Sam escaped without a scratch. Toomey blamed that, as well as future unlucky occurrences, on the Numbers. Those occurrences continued until he committed suicide “to end the curse”.

Another thing of note, perhaps: Barrs Mill usurped original name of Willards Mill for Beach City, but presently there is another Barrs Mill in the area (lower part of above map). Barrs Mill is not mentioned in the Stark County history book quoted above, but is in the below newspaper article concerning the history of Beach City (July 3, 1976 · The Evening Independent from Massillon, Ohio · Page 46).

http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/3551068/

FORTY SIX SATURDAY, JULY 3,1976 THE MASSILLON EVENING INDEPENDENT 1816 Indian trail led Henry Willard to Beach City Village named for railroader By AMY SHRIVER What is today known as Beach City has undergone several changes, both in name and character since the area was first settled around 1816. At thst time, Sugar Creek Township was separated from Canton Township. In this year, Henry Willard followed an Indian trail to a point overlooking today’s village. He chose this si’,e to construct a gristmill, using stones for grinding corn and wheat. The settlement became known as Willards Mills. LATER, F. V. BELL purchased the mill and made ‘numerous improvements. Bell added a sawmill and machinery for carding, spinning, weaving and dressing cloth. Bell became so popular among local residents that Willard was forgotten and the settlement becatne Bell’s Mills. After Bell’s death, the property was passed on to his son, Philip and George. The mill failed under their management due to bankruptcy of some eastern creditors and swindling on the part of two employes who reportedly lit out of town and headed west with full pockets. After passing through a long list of other owners, the mill was purchased in 1850 by Jonathan Barr, who rebuilt the properties. The fickle public began culling the area Barr’s Mills. His grist and flour mills supplied a large merchant trade until 1934 when the buildings and land were taken over for the Muskingum Conservancy District.

Returning to the Magic Book…

0 of 0 sam_
0 of 0: toom
0 of 0: beach
1 of 1: beech

Past the pond and along a path that followed Wine Creek he [Willard] went until he came to a grove of beech trees.

Beech grove equals Beach City, destination of Willard along path or trail.

A fairy city (“Winner”) I found recently along a path or trail atop Beach (mountain). Another implied Beach City, then.

This makes the presence of a Trail near Winesburg more important, seemingly (in above map again). And on Indian Trail Creek.

IN THE BEACH…

The young reporter was thinking of Kate Swift, who had once been his school teacher. On the evening before he had gone to her house to get a book she wanted him to read and had been alone with her for an hour. For the fourth or fifth time the woman had talked to him with great earnestness and he could not make out what she meant by her talk. He began to believe she must be in love with him and the thought was both pleasing and annoying.

Up from the log he sprang and began to pile sticks on the fire. Looking about to be sure he was alone he talked aloud pretending he was in the presence of the woman, “Oh, you’re just letting on, you know you are,” he declared. “I am going to find out about you. You wait and see.”

Willard-Music, KY
Willard-Note, GA

He remembered the look that had lurked in the girl’s eyes when they had met on the streets and thought of the note she had written.

He had just received a note from Helen White, the daughter of the town banker, in answer to one from him.

The first and last “note”s in this Book o’ Music concerns Willard, the receiver. The first note can be viewed as his reaction to the last. We can call this a Wheeler-Wilson paradox.

Willard is himself a Note in this musical book. The Key Tone perhaps. *Or* that music (and its notes, perhaps key notes) now resides in the book and not the album, thinking of Toledo again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note

We must ask what is in this note received by Willard. It is 2 things in one. But we can answer the higher of the 2 in the following refinements, and define it as “more sophisticated”…

Willard-Beetle, KY

Indicates (music) beet or rhythm. Also indicates Beatles, with variant name Beetles here.

Willard-Sophi, KY

Clearly indicates Sophie’s Place by Larry Jordan (video element of Sophie’s No. 9, with audio by Beatles), but also “Sophistication” (s.story).

sophi:

The sadness of sophistication has come to the boy. With a little gasp he sees himself as merely a leaf blown by the wind through the streets of his village.

When the moment of sophistication came to George Willard his mind turned to Helen White, the Winesburg banker’s daughter. Always he had been conscious of the girl growing into womanhood as he grew into manhood.

In youth there are always two forces fighting in people. The warm unthinking little animal struggles against the thing that reflects and remembers, and the older, the more sophisticated thing had possession of George Willard. Sensing his mood, Helen walked beside him filled with respect.

Two notes, two forces reflected.

We can now return to rainbowology and its death in Toledo.

the 2nd Ashville, and another Apocalypse Now connection?

This would be Ashville, Ohio, the only other US town of that name besides the one we now plan to move to in 7-10 years. In Ashville, Ohio’s immediate area is found both a Robtown and a Duvall. Might point to Robert Duvall, who also starred in Apocalypse Now and recited the iconic phrase, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” *And* there is also a MASH connection (!). Duvall played Frank Burns in the movie that the series was based upon later, which, of course, featured Jame Farr as Maxwell Klinger.

We’ve also mentioned another Duvall town in this blog (Washington state), connected at the time with Shelly Duvall, star of The Shining. No relation to Robert as far as I can tell.

Apocalypse Pooh

Found out that Apocalypse Now protagonist Benj. Willard, played by Martin Sheen, is from Toledo, like MASH’s Farr/Klinger, and another military man at that. Which makes protagonist Winnie the Pooh of “Apocalypse Pooh” (see below) half from Toledo as well, since he channels Willard in the mashup. We [now] know rainbowology was born at the source of the Maumee (Ft. Wayne), and died and possibly also is resurrected at the mouth (Toledo). Does Apocalypse Pooh directly kill Dark Side of the Rainbow and rainbowology with its MASHUP strength? Is the latter like a renegade, bloated Kurtz? Or is it Willard instead? Kind of eerie.

Another famous Ohioan Willard:

http://badassdigest.com/2014/09/17/the-true-story-behind-the-birth-of-the-video-mashup

The truth behind the birth of the fusion now known as The Darkside of the Rainbow will probably never be known.

What we do know now, is that it wasn’t the first, nor the most influential mashup of all time. That honour belongs to an analog video mashup known as Apocalypse Pooh, a hilarious and surreal amalgamation of Apocalypse Now and Winnie The Pooh. The simple and highly effective pairing of two endearing and enduring iconic 20th Century properties, became an ’80s tape-trading sensation. To this day, it still really hasn’t been given the recognition and status it so deserves.

“It was something more this time. It was beyond Peter Dunne. Done Deal Dunne.”

bb:

So Rainbowology comes from the Cross of the Lamb idea but extends beyond it.

Carr.:

Rainbowology is something new. A seed. Ylem. Apple. Maumee. Oblio. Birth. Then Farr takes over, har har.

bb:

Glad you liked that.

Carr.:

I made it (!)

bb:

Not surprising. Where is all this heading?

on 2 St. Joe’s, and then… rainbowology!

Just fyi and to complete the thing, I kind of reversed the rainbowology story below tonight to have it being born in Ft. Wayne, at the beginning of the Maumee R., and then die in Toledo, at its end, when native Farr assumes his eerie position as world controller. Believe what you will of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Joseph_River_%28Lake_Michigan%29

It shares its name with the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan, but the two rivers flow in generally opposite directions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Joseph_River_%28Maumee_River%29

The St. Joseph River forms in northern Williams County, Ohio, at the confluence of the East and West branches at 41°38′54″N 84°33′55″W[2][3][4] Both branches rise in southern Hillsdale County, Michigan. The headwaters of the East Branch are within 3 miles (4.8 km) of those of the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan.

Josephology:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephology

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_named_after_Saint_Joseph#United_States_of_America

“Peter finds a map of Hillsdale County in a Newton library in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The 2 St. Joe Rivers are joined. They are the same river. At a certain point they are separated as 2 snakes separated from each other. This occurs at Ft. Wayne.

birth of baby rainbowology

Early in its history, rainbowology development was jump-started by Johnny Appleseed’s discovery of the irrevocable differences between apples and oranges, and never the twain shall meet. Reminds me of the famous knock knock joke that ends, “orange you glad I didn’t say apple?”

In 1969 Defiance, Ohio native Frank Floydada discovered the genetic link between apples, oranges, lemons and limes, and was brutally beaten and murdered for his revelations, as well as discredited. Rainbowology continued to flourish.

In 1979, actor Maxwell Jamie Klinger Farr discovered the first mashup during a break on the set of AfterMASH. While watching an episode of The Munsters where Lilly Herman says, “take my hand” to a palm reading customer, in the next trailer over fellow AfterMASH star Henry General Potter Morgan viewed Helen Krump taking the hand of Andy Griffith in marriage on the 1st episode of Mayberry R.F.D. They later compared notes; Farr’s famous “Mayberry Munster MASH” creation soon followed. Johnny Appleseed’s long standing apples-against-oranges edict first became vulnerable.

In 1983, backwards messages in Gary Burghoff’s acid jazz album “Radar Spelled Backwards is Still Radar” revealed that Farr is an alien from the planet 3M orbiting the red giant Aldebaran who intends to take over the world by morphing it into a colossal mashup over the next 30 years. “Mayberry Munster MASH” was just the seed, the messages imply; Burghoff has refused comments.

https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/4830356736/h7832298F/

In 2013, true to the “Radar” messages, Farr actually took control of our planet, although he then quickly manipulated time so that everyone would forget this. The corpse of Rainbowology was discarded into an eerie, unmarked grave. MASHUP is ubiquitous.

John Scott Harrison is the only man in U.S. history to be the son of a president and the father of a president. He was born in North Bend and is buried in his father’s vault in North Bend.

North Bend is a city in King county, Washington, United States. The town was made famous by David Lynch’s television series Twin Peaks (also filmed in nearby Snoqualmie.)
