Northampton Historical Society Meeting

Monday March 20 2023

We’re going back Home

Old Northampton Town Hall
851 West Bath Road
Cuyahoga Falls OH

The Northampton Historical Society meeting will be Monday, the 20th in the

newly refurbished Old Northampton Town Hall. Doors open 5:30 for social time and a short business meeting before the presentation. Program to start at about 7:00 Refreshments Provided. All Are Welcome

Due to a scheduling mixup, our previously scheduled speaker, Kenneth Clarke, won’t be able to make it this month. We’ve chosen to present a video, The Sultana Disaster. This is a video presentation of a program given by author Gene Eric Salecker. The disaster occurred on the Mississippi River at the close of the American Civil War. Mr. Salecker will present the known facts and probable details in this well researched program. There is monument in the Cuyahoga Falls Oakwood Cemetery to those from the area who were lost in the event.

Gene Eric Salecker is the author of the book Disaster on the Mississippi: the Sultana Explosion. He has appeared on the History Channel and PBS.

For those of you who missed Kenneth Clarke’s earlier presentation at the Cuyahoga Falls Historical Society we’re providing another opportunity.

Kenneth Clarke is the 5th Great Grandson of Simeon and Katharine Prior. Simeon and Katharine, along with their family, founded Northampton Township, now Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He is the author of Wolves and Flax

The Prior Family in the Cuyahoga Valley Wilderness. Wolves and Flax is based on the Prior Family Archive and other historical publications going back more than two centuries so he knows a lot of Northampton history.
