Roger L. Debnar Paintings on Display at the Museum

back by popular demand on

Saturday, June 14 and Saturday, July 12, 2008

Sunday, June 15, 2008 (Strawberry & Ice Cream Festival)

Phyllis and Lee Debnar,  New Bedford, Ohio are shown with two of his  father’s favorite paintings of trains and steel mills bringing history to life with precise detailing. They give a good clear and dramatic glimpse into the past. They look so real that you can almost smell the smoke, hear the steam whistle and feel the shaking and trembling of the earth as the big steam engines rumble down the track.

 Notice the detail in this Amtrak Turboliner leaving Chicago 

Roger L. Debnar (1917 – 1988) a native of Rayland, Ohio had received numerous awards for his paintings. He began painting in 1975 after retiring from over 30 years as a foreman in the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Mill. One brother and two sisters also began painting about the same time and they did a family art show in Weirton, W. Va. Their father was an artist at the East Liverpool Glass and Pottery Factory.

He displayed his works in many shows throughout the Ohio Valley including Bethany College, Canfield Fair, Wellsburg Art Show, Ohio State Fair, Roscoe Village and Pomerene Fine Arts Center, Coshocton, Ohio.

He started taking lessons from the late Catherine Roberston of Wellsburg, then from Samuel White of Brooke High School, to whom he gave credit for teaching him the details that are now such an important part of his paintings.

Phyllis and Lee are showing a collection of his father’s paintings (filling the north wall of the second building)

A BIT OF A PHOTO TOUR ABOUT THE MUSEUM

When you visit the Ken Miller Supply's Oil, Gas, Car, Truck and Agriculture Museum, you'll see how the Oil Industry used to be. Each of the Displays have a printed explanation attached to the unit or group of pieces on display. It is an "Eye Opener" and educational. This photo is a part of the "Evolution of Barrel Hauling." The County Line Historical Society of Wayne and Holmes Counties have the Museum open on the second Saturday of each month, 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. Cost to visit this vast collection is $5.00 per adult with a maximum of $15.00 per family. All proceeds go to the County Line Historical Society to be used on the furnishings and upkeep of their new museum, now under construction in downtown Shreve located across from Shreve Mobil. The tour is self guided with a printed "Tour Guide" to move you through the two buildings housing hundreds of displays involving thousands of related pieces to the history of the industry and Ken Miller's business and his dedication to the industry. There will be several volunteers from the County Line Historical Society on hand to answer any questions you may have and to offer their assistance to make your tour more enjoyable.

Ken Miller's first truck was this red 1949 GMC. An interesting story goes with this truck. Be sure to read about it at the truck or it is also included in the printed "Tour Guide" you will receive.

Oil Photos were a part of this industry and a buggy was on hand with photographer ready to take care of your order.

Above is a 1915 Packard Truck. Mounted on the truck is a very old pumping unit.

The Miller Family has allocated the County Line Historical Society a bay in the second building for some of the Society's items. Shown is Big Prairie's Fire Extinguisher used in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The bay also includes the Pennsylvania Railroad exhibit from James Pennell's collection.

The second building is loaded with tractors, trucks and cars with hundreds of items on the walls.

You'll also find a 1929 Ford Truck, a 1935 International, a 1931 Ford Truck, a 1929 REA, a 1923 Kelly, a 1926 GMC Truck and others along with several cars. Among the cars are a 1941 Chevy, a 1949 Plymouth and a 1936 Ford. There is a Nash Metropolitan, a four-engine race car with over 1,200 horsepower and an Edsel among others.

County Line Historical News

Guest speaker was Gerald Payne when County Line Historical Society met January 19 at Miller Museum. Payne is an impersonator of Abraham Lincoln, and talked about his speeches and letters.

Helen Sprowls and Nancy Raymond were thanked for the December and January window displays and hosts for the museum, James Pennell, Ron Junkin, Jody Long and Nancy Raymond were also thanked. Several guests were welcomed.

New board member, Mary Lou Frost will serve a three year term along with the officers, president Ron Junkin; treasurer Helen Sprowls; secretary Jayne Neal; vice president James Pennell; advisor Wes Plant; corresponding secretary Carrie Brown; board members Glenn Bower, Jr. and  Frank Garrett and publicity, Bill Fought.

The Antique Roadshow was held on Sunday afternoon, January 27 with a good crowd bringing in older items to be valued by local Antique experts. A full report will be given at the next membership meeting on March 15 at the Miller Museum. Speaker will be Dean A. Freytag from Ashland giving a slide presentation on the "Fascination of Steel Mills."

 

Progress on the new County Line Historical Society of Wayne and Holmes Counties Museum located downtown Shreve across from Shreve Mobil is shown here as carpenters restore the front of the building that was used by Fought's Bluebird Bakery from 1904 to 1917. John Troyer and his crew have restored the original historical Victorian front of the building which will be used by the Society as a Library/Visitor Center.

This restoration began in the fall of 2007 and is a part of the new museum which will also include the previous Tin Shop located next door to the north that used to be the home of Geeseman Grocery and later both buildings housed the former Grosjean Roofing.

Miller and Sons this past fall built a new roof including many of the rafters over the former Tin Shop which will become the new Museum.

At the back of both buildings W. T. McKee Construction cleared and excavated the rear lot  with drainage and two catch basins and connecting to the storm sewer system on Market St. 3D Construction did the cement work on the parking area. The retaining wall, consisting of large 5000 lb. blocks of cement, was put into place by Menuez Bros. Sand and Gravel, Inc.

B&B Painting is shown here getting the outside painting done before winter settled in on them. They will be back to paint the inside when that phase is completed to the new museum. Water-Watts about the same time put a new furnace in the basement and ran enough duct work up to the main floor to keep the inside warm for the winter.

This photo shows how the Museum looks at this point in time as the buildings are fully enclosed for the winter. The building is being funded with local donations and a $100,000 grant provided by the state of Ohio through the Cultural Facilities Commission, Ted Strickland, Governor. The County Line's Construction Administrator is Dan Moorefield of Shreve. Ron Junkin, president, Wes Plant advisor, of the Society have been instrumental in putting this project together with the support of their members and the community of the Shreve area. The $200,000 project is now into phase two of finishing the buildings as an additional $25,000 was given to Society by the Shreve Business and Community Assoc. to allow the project keep a more productive schedule.
