Erma Bombeck's house on Cushwa Drive
The house at 162 Cushwa Drive is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed in February 2015 as the Erma Bombeck House. Her National Register nomination tells how the newspaper writer got her start. She asked an editor for a job while she was still in school. He said no. He needed someone full time, not someone who'd be there half the month. Erma offered to find a classmate to work the other two weeks. That got her the job. She also studied English for a while, struggled with the program, and left after the first year. She married in 1949. When the first child came in 1953, she gave up her newspaper job. Cushwa Drive is printed near the middle of this map, in the blocks between Far Hills Avenue and Clyo Road.
General Edmund Munger's farm on Yankee Street
Yankee Street runs down the left side of the sheet. An Ohio historical marker at 9955 Yankee Street tells the story of Edmund Munger. He was born in Norfolk, Connecticut, in 1763. In 1799 his wife Eunice Kellogg and their five children traveled by wagon and flat-bottomed boat to claim land in Washington Township. Munger was a blacksmith and a farmer. In 1804 he was elected a Montgomery County Commissioner. From 1809 to 1826 he served as Clerk of Washington Township. His militia men made him a Brigadier General in 1809. During the War of 1812 the governor told him to defend the frontier within his command. He died at his farm in 1850 and is buried next to his wife in the Old Centerville Cemetery. The marker stands near the bottom left corner of this map. Washington Township Hall is printed near the middle, where Far Hills Avenue comes down toward South Main Street.
