Talk:Springfield, Ohio/Archives/2024/June

Notable residents

Lets not forgot Dave Burba and Dustin Hermanson as professional baseball players that were born and raised in Springfield.

Also Harvey Haddix. Holds record for most consecutive perfect innings pitched. Technically from Westville, Ohio. Which is about 5-7 miles N of SPringfield or 2 miles directly W of Urbana, OH.

I would argue that Gene Bowshire and Tony Powell, both local musicians that are listed as notable people, are not really notable. They are locally notable to the very small local music scene. They do both write their own music, but they don't have record deals, and rarely play outside of the immediate area. The argument being they are not known outside the immediate area and are not really that well known to the general public in the immediate area.

I would argue that Gene Bowshire's (I know I'm spelling his name wrong), deceased father, Donnie Bowshire be added. He had a top ten hit in the late 50's, with the single "Stone Heart". Some of his late 50's recordings leave him identify as a minor player in the recorded history of rockabilly music. Which though popular and well documented, there wasn't a rockabilly act in every town on the trail. They were few and far between, and rockabilly has a very short history from 54 to 57 or 58. Stone Heart, which I believe was recorded in 58 found him straddling a rock, honky tonk, rockabilly. He later evolved into a purely country musician. He has a notation in the allmusic.com registry. Which is a resource site that started years ago as a resource publication for press research. There is another more famous female country musician from the area from the same time frame. I believe she was from Catawba, OH just NE of SPringfield. I will have to consult my wife on this.

The New Boston referenced in this article is not the one in Scioto County

I unlinked the mention of New Boston from the article on the New Boston in Scioto County. Scioto County was never part of Clark County and thus its New Boston could not have been passed over by the state legislature for county seat of Clark County. Also, the article on the Scioto County New Boston states that it was platted in 1891, another indication that that New Boston couldn't have been a contender to be county seat of Clark County back in 1818.
