Padre......New Philadelphia in eastern Ohio was an early Quaker settlement. The high school also went by "Fighting Quakers" which seemed oxymoronic at the least.

"Darling Nellie Gray" and "Up on the Housetop" were both written bu B.R. Hanby of Rushville, Ohio (about 5 miles from me here in Bremen) although he lived most of his life in Westerville.
