The Six & Twenty Club's recent meeting illuminated Clinton County's historical significance and the proactive measures taken by the recorder's office to protect property owners from fraud.
The gentle rustle of pages turning mingled with the warm ambiance of Tanya Day's home, where members of the Six & Twenty Club gathered to delve into the rich tapestry of Clinton County's history on February 13. As the light filtered through large windows, Day, serving as both hostess and program leader, introduced attendees to the evolution of the Clinton County Recorder's Office through the lens of James A. Kiger's book, "Court House: A Journey of Fifty Years in the Law." The anecdotes within painted a vivid picture of the office's legacy, showcasing not only its historical significance but also its ongoing relevance in the community.
Among the highlights was a tribute to a century of female leadership within the recorder's office, beginning with Emily Giffin Wood in 1925, a pioneer who paved the way for future leaders like Jean King Richardson, Sandra Wilt, and Brenda Huff. Each woman left an indelible mark on the office, with Richardson’s remarkable tenure of 37 years standing out as a testament to dedication and resilience. Day, the 24th recorder, continues this legacy, illustrating the profound impact of women in governance.
In addition to honoring its past, the office is proactive about modern challenges. Day discussed a vital service aimed at protecting property owners from fraud. The Property Fraud Alert system notifies residents immediately when a document is recorded against their property, allowing them to act swiftly against potential threats. This service is available at no cost to taxpayers, ensuring that all residents can safeguard their assets.
As part of the ongoing commitment to community heritage, the meeting also focused on the Ohio Century Farm Program, which recognizes farms held by families for over 100 years. With 29 designated farms in Clinton County, Day is actively gathering photographs to document this agricultural legacy, with plans for a dedicated exhibition.
