Fourth of July Parade
Basic details
Background
Independence Day festivities included a parade as reported in the Westerville Public Opinion (July 6, 1911). The march set out from the town hall with "Comrade Aimer Andrus, marshal; Old Guard Drum and Fife Corps of Columbus; Old Guard Ex-Soldiers of Worthington and vicinity; Worthington Troop, Boy Scouts of America; Girls Club in Carriage". The parade is shown here on an unpaved Main Street (now High Street), with streetcar tracks visible in the rear.
The Andrus family came to the Worthington area from Simsbury as relatives of the Case family and married into the Pinney family. Andrus descendents served in the Civil War, and settled in Dublin and Westerville.
