April 7th 1890 - April 16th 1981

Harry objected to modern warfare - killing at a distance. He preferred sword-to-sword medieval combat. He served as a medic in World War I, contracted spinal meningitis, and was declared dead. By the time that he was declared undead -- six months later -- his fiancé had married another man. Harry seemed not to have minded, he stayed in Europe, visiting castles. He veered away from women, period. Having more than 50 marriage proposal later in life, he turned all of them down!

• Graduated from Colgate University.
• Enlisted in the Army during WWI even though he was a conscientious objector. He didn't object to war itself, he didn't like the weapons of modern warfare. So, Harry enlisted as a nurse.
• Was the oldest living Notary Public in Ohio...and he never charged more than a quarter for his service.
• Was a well published author, including a guide book he wrote at the bequest of the U.S. Immigration Department to aid those seeking citizenship. A copy of which is on display at the castle.
• Also made the road you take down to the castle. Buses cannot make it down this road still today!
• Grew vegetables year round in hotbeds of his own design. They were heated by railroad lanterns!
• Hid his secret room in the garden. The entrance was one of the arches in the arch wall. it was only discovered after it collapsed from years of neglect...Even the knights didn't know it was there!
• Had an amazing 187 I.Q.

NOTICE: THE CASTLE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RENT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS (OCTOBER - MARCH)..
