1930s Otterbein Guild Camp Scrapbook Ohio Names Photos Captions Geneaology Vtg For Sale

Otterbein Guild original vintage photograph album documenting camp life in Ohio from approximately 1927 through 1938. This scrapbook contains numerous mounted black and white photographs along with handwritten captions and identified individuals throughout.

The album appears to be associated with Otterbein Guild Camp activities in the Findlay, Ohio area, with multiple references to individuals from Lima, Ohio and surrounding communities including Toledo, Hicksville, Columbus Grove, and Willard.

Based on the “Otterbein” and “Guild” references, this group was likely connected to a church-affiliated women’s or youth organization active in northwest Ohio during the early 20th century, possibly tied to Evangelical or United Brethren traditions common in the region at the time.

Named individuals present within the album include Devona Welker (Lima, Ohio), Janet Gilbert, Wilma Moore, Eugenia Shearer, Thelma D., Pauline, Helen Young, Dorothy Steiner (Willard), Dorothy Neiswander (Hicksville), Barbara Esterly (Toledo), Virginia Archer (Columbus Grove), Helene Dick (Lima), Willetta Kime, and references to Mrs. E. Knepp and “Daddy Knepp.”

Photographs are dated across multiple years including 1927-1937 plus one additional 1938 reunion. The album includes both posed and candid images with handwritten captions that add personal context and historical character.

This is an original period album offering strong appeal for collectors of antique photography, Ohio regional history, and genealogy research.
