In the mid 19305BrigadierGeneral L. S. Conelly, a Realtor who had officesinBedford, Maple Heights and
Gameld Heights at that time, rearlzed a business opportunity in our area ofBedford Township. Along Walton and
EgbertRoads hundreds ofacres of oldfarmfields sat idle. Conelly's idea wasbsubdividethe properties into large
lots and help the landowners sell offtheiracreage nottofarmers, but bcityfolks whowantedto buildhouses in a
countryatmosphere. Conellystarted afile called"Walton Hills.'
During the next30yearsConelly amassed acomprehensivecollection ofreading material aboutthe"Walton
Hills'sectionofBedford Township. Hesaved news articles andfeaturestoriesthatappeared in The C/eve/and
Press, The Cleveland News, The Plain Dea/er and Bedford Times-Register, his ConellyReallyfliers, letters and
papers and Don Flora's 1956 aerialphotosofsections of Walton Hills.
Conelly'sfileIncludedtheweekly "Up inWalton Hillswith CountryJane" columnsthatappeared in the
Bedford Times-Register from 1949-1963. These unique and lengthy articles documentedthelives ofvillagersduring
thoseyears. Theywerewritten byasuccession offourlocaliresidents, all underthebyline CountryJane:* Florence
Wagner from 1949-1955, Ruth Marquardtfrom 1955-1958, Helen Laing in 1959 andGeorgia Pacefrom 1960-1963.
Shortly before he died in 1963, Conelly handed overhiscollection to his friend Betty Walton, the wife of our
firstPoliceChiefSterling Walton. Betty not only putthepapers In ascrapbook, shedonatedJefferson Walton's Civil
WarDischarge PaperandotherWalton familyrelics andcontinuedtocollectpertinent material. In 1980 she turned
everything over toJoe Mazzone, and he loocontinued to add ems oflocal interest In 1985 Virginia Mazzone, Joe's
widow, gave thescrapbooks b Jean and Bob Kainsinger for safe-keeping, and the collection keptgrowing. The few
villagers whoknewaboutthisuniquecollection ofhistoriclocal items feltthe papersshould bestored in apublic
place, readilyaccessibletoeveryone.
OurcurrentVillage Hall Community Room, completed in 1972, hasnan'owhandcrafted showcases and
deep hand-craftedcabinets: Forthefirst 16yearstheshowcases were not used andthecabinets held an add
assortmentoftrophies. In 1988 a Councilcommittee askedJean Kainsingertodecorateandfill-up the showcases
and cabinetswith itemsoflocal interest Bob and Jean Kainsingertransferredthescrapbook material into acid-free
pages, assembled them into4 albums, anddonatedthecollection to tileVillage. Thehistoricitemswerelinally on
display in a pubric place.
With approval fromtheVillage, theWalton HillsiHistorical ResourceCenterbecame areality in 1999.
Ever since, asmall groupofvolunteersstaff theWalbn HillsHistorical ResourceCenter. Residentscontinue to
