[SOA] Ohio courthouse paintings

[Barb Sedlock]

Court News Ohio, a communication service of the Ohio Supreme Court,
visited the Defiance College campus recently to do a feature video on
the Hermann Wiebe collection of Ohio courthouse paintings housed in
the Pilgrim Library. Wiebe created oil paintings of all 88 Ohio county
courthouses, plus the Ohio Statehouse.  The story features interviews
with director Michelle Blank, archivist Barb Sedlock, Judge Joseph
Schmenk and Hermann’s son, Harry Wiebe. The story can be viewed here:
