Mary Hoskins & 1973 50th Class Reunion of the Clinton-Highland Normal School

Mary B. Hoskins was the first grade teacher in New Vienna pictured here with the first graders in 1918-1919.  She also was a teacher in the Clinton-Highland Normal (teachers) School in New Vienna which was renowned in the early 1900s.  In 1925 the Normal School was moved to Wilmington College and Mary also moved to Wilmington.

Mary was born in New Vienna in 1885.  Her grandfather, John Hoskins, was born in the New Vienna area in 1813 after the family migrated from North Carolina in the early 1800s.  According to the Wilmington College Alumni News of May 1950, page 2, she retired from Wilmington College in 1950 after serving as associate professor of education for 25 years, having taught more than 2000 prospective teachers.  She had a "total of 46 years of teaching experience, teaching in the intermediate grades at Martinsville for three years, the primary grades at New Vienna for 11 years, and in the old Clinton County normal school for five years before joining the Wilmington College faculty."

Boden's Flour 1899-1930s Mill Story #3

The beginning . . . .

In 1807 Stephen Hussey purchased land that included what would become New Vienna.  When he died in 1812, he left the property to his sons.  Thomas took his share in the NW corner of the survey, built a log cabin and laid out the village now known as New Vienna in 1827.

By the early 1830s Thomas and Joshua Hussey built a "treadmill" now more commonly in the historical sense referred to as treadwheel, a type of mill operated by a person (or animals) treading steps of a wheel to grind grain, cut lumber, etc.  From Historic Buzzard's Glory (1976 Bill & Georgia Dodd):  "This was afterward changed to a steam mill and a sawing department added."

By 1876 New Vienna had 2 mills which grind and saw, 2 coalries and 1 grain & lumber business.  According to the 1870s History of Clinton County, "Israel Nordyke built a horse-mill below Snow Hill" but there is no mention of an "early" mill in New Vienna village.

For further information about early mills in Clinton County here is a link to a section of Pliny's History of Clinton County about early mills.

What later became Boden's Flour Mill and later yet New Vienna Milling Co. was also operated for many years as a steam mill using a stationary steam engine.  The Bodens took over (or built?) the mill in the early 1890s.  The family also had a grain/feed/coal operation in Greenfield, Ohio.  With their location next to the railroad tracks they were perfectly situated to take advantage of easy shipping.

According to the The County of Highland: a History of Highland County, Ohio by J. W. Klise published in 1902, John Boden was the eldest son of Hugh Boden, a prominent businessman in Greenfield Ohio.  The Boden Milling Co., formed in 1899 by John and his brother, dealt largely “in grain, feed and coal." 

The News-Herald. (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, November 04, 1897, Page 8

In a promotion, advertised in the Hillsboro paper of November 4, 1897  Boden Bros. advertised that in each sack of flour would be found at ticket bearing a letter of the firm name.  Consumers could save these tickets until they had enough letters to spell out “Boden Brothers” in full, and then could bring or send them to the office and receive a “free, handsome set of silver knives and forks.”

The New Vienna operation was later called Boden & Son, and their chief product was “Boden’s Best flour” according to an article in the Hillsboro News-Herald, November 17, 1910.
