Geocache Description:



Welcome to the Fairfield County History Geo Trail - Our trail will take you all over Fairfield County to many of our small historic towns that make up this great county. We hope you have fun and experience all our county has to offer.

NO NIGHT CACHING THIS IS A DAWN TO DUSK HUNTING ONLY CACHE as this is a cemetery. Please respect this area and obey all rules.

Mabel Wagnalls Jones was the only child of Funk and Wagnalls Publishing Company co-founder Adam Wagnalls and his wife Anna. Her parents were both born in Lithopolis. Mabel was a concert pianist and the author of nine books. She died in March of 1946, leaving her estate for the perpetual care of this community center as a living Memorial to her parents. Mabel and her parents, husband, and grandmother are buried in the Lithopolis Cemetery, located at the east end of town.

Mabel Wagnalls Jones designed and built The Wagnalls Memorial library and community center. She then gave it to the people of Lithopolis and Bloom Township. This gift expressed the loyalty of her parents, Hester Anna Willis Wagnalls and Adam Willis Wagnalls, to the town and township in which they were born.

Mabel followed this extraordinary gift with additional gifts of nearly all of her wealth to sustain and improve the library and community center and to provide scholarships for residents of Lithopolis and Bloom Township to "institutions of learning, music and art."
