My name is Judith Bradley-Parsons and I am the great-great—-grand daughter of Dominic Bradley. He and his family are buried in the Piatt Cemetery. I would love to hear any history that is known as to how our two families are connected.

I was in Maumee Youth Center, in 1980-81, Riverview School For Boys in 1982-83, and in Buckeye Youth Center in 1984. I do know that as you did your rounds in ODYS you met a lot of people who were in pretty much all the institutions. I have never heard of anyone being killed and burried in the TICO graveyard. I do know that the entire Juvenille facility, even TCY was flattened as the years went by for new facilities. I have left Ohio since my departure from BYC, and have been an upstanding citizen. I guess I enjoy my freedom and women to much to be institutionalized.

We used to go up to the front of the property that was facing broad st I remember and play games and stuff. We used to go somewhere else for haircut. I remember having to walk to the cafeteria in marching style and sometimes some guys would make a break for it after breakfast by sneaking out some silverware to help them scale the fences. Most would fail!!!!!

I was a juvenile inmate at t.c.y which was on the same grounds in fall 1982 till may 1983. Can anyone tell me whatever happened to tcy? I remember we had cottages also and they were all lettered like l cottage m cottage. There were four or five levels you could rise up and level 5 was the highest. I’ve got a lot more stories about tcy. Is there anyone out there that remembers that time period?

Wow, that is just awesome that you got to see the church! I am just amazed–and completely jealous! I have had a lot of curiosity about this church for a long time.

What I can tell you, I gleaned over the years I worked at the Piatt Castles, and because it’s memory work, I’m afraid it’ll be fuzzy. I don’t think it was the oldest church in Ohio; what it was was the first Catholic church in that area. The Piatts were Catholics from Cincinnati, and they eventually got tired of not having anywhere to worship when they relocated to Logan County. They were able to get the church built and they cared for it for many years. Margaret Piatt, direct descendant of the Abram Piatt buried in the cemetery and present owner of the Piatt Castles, told me that her family eventually dismantled what was left of the vandalized church because of the damage done to it and also the disrespectful things that were going on.

Unfortunately that’s all I know about it. If you visit the Piatt Castles, they may be able to tell you more.
