Wilson Hill - Worthington names

Wilson Hill - Worthington street names brought to you by Maureen McCabe  - Like many towns the settlers names are worked into school names, street names, park names and subdivision names. 

Medick Estates was developed by Frank C. Medick.

rose at Columbus Rose Festival 2008Didn't Shakespeare have Juliet say:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

When I read the chapter (one page) about Medick Estates in Jennie McCormick's book 'Worthington Neighborhoods'  book and saw the names Frank C. Wilson and Ralph N. Wilson, I thought AHA!  Wilson Hill...

The story of Wilson Hill neighborhood in the book starts out with Orange Johnson, Wilson Hill was the Orange Johnson farm.  The farm including the house (now own by the Worthington Historical Society) was sold to Miles Pinney (do you know where Pinney Dr. is in Worthington? off W. South Street?  - Pinney Drive map ) and one of Pinney's heir's John H. Snouffer (do you know where Snouffer Road west of Worthington is? Named after John H. Snouffer?  Another Snouffer? Google map of Snouffer Rd.  ) was the owner of about 35 acres which became the Wilson Hill neighborhood... 

If you hang out on Flickr online (photo sharing) in the Worthington group there is a descendent of a Snouffer who comments.  I forget his first name... found it.  He comments as Snouffdog and he wrote on a picture of the Worthington Inn on Flickr:

"My father, Paul Snouffer, was the architect that remodeled this back in the 1980's. My grandmother, Merite Snouffer, ran this during WW2.
John Snouffer, Worthington, Ohio" 

Wilson Hill in Worthington

Why Wilson?  According to 'Worthington Neighborhoods' Snouffer's heir when he died in 1939 was John A. Wilson. 

Did John A. Wilson develop Wilson Hill?  Nope.  According to the book he sold the land to William H. Crandall (main street in Wilson Hill is Crandal Drive.) Did Crandall develop it?  Nope Ray C. Heischman, John J. Meyer and Richard T. Savage finally developed the Wilson Hill subdivision in the 1950's.  

Wilson got a school named after him to boot.  Or is the Wilson Hill Elementary School named after the neighborhood which is named after Wilson?   Wilson Hill Park....  lot of Wilsons in Worthington. Google map of Worthington showing Wilson Hill Elementary School and Wilson Hill Park in the Wilson Hill Subdivision in Worthington

And I wonder was John A. Wilson related to Frank C. Wilson and Ralph N. Wilson?

Which Wilson is Wilson Bridge Road (and the bridge ) named after?  Does it even matter this long after?

Wilson Hill is a comfortable baby boom neighborhood, lots of ranch style homes, some splits...  a stray bi-level or two.... I can think of a two story... capes?

The last sentence of the chapter (one page on Wilson Hill in 'Worthington Neighborhoods is:

"John Wilson and Homer Crandall are long forgotten, but the neighborhood which bears their name continues to thrive.

brought to you by Maureen McCabe and no I am not related to the Worthington McCabes or the Upper Arlington McCabes.
