THE SUNDAY CLOSING OF VONHOF HOTEL MEET COMES AS LEASE EXPIRES The closing of the Vonhof hotel marks the passing of one of the oneer hotels of Ohio. Mollie E. King who took charge of this hotel after the death of her husband, John R. King, closed the Vonhof June 1 and is offering the fixtures for sale. No meals had been served during last several months.

The lease of. the building has expired. Attorney R. W. Hartman, who is agent for the Bird estate, of which the Vonhof hotel part, stated today that no definite, plans had been made.

He different plans are under consideration. One is to make the first floor into large business rooms. Another plan under consideration make the first floor into small business rooms and maintair: an office for the hotel on the ground floor. The Vonhof has 85 rooms. Known As Teagarden Richmond Smith recalls the days when what- is now the Vonhof hoknown as the Teagarden hotel, a stopping place for teamLIsters in the early days.

It was conducted by W. S. Teagarden, a well known citizen and host of his day. Mr. Smith remembers Teagarden as a tall, slender man, a picturesque citizen.

Teagarden sold the hotel to Robert Moore, who in turn sold it to a man by the name of Thornton who conducted this hotel and the Junction house. The next landlord recalled by Mr. Smith was Job Franz, who sold it to Sharpless Bird. He was followed by I. Shon- field.

The latter conducted the Vonhol hotel a number of years, followed by Button and Ozier who sold to John R. King. Not As Historically The hotel, which was known as the Teagarden house, later became the St. James hotel. After A new front had been built on to the old structure, it again changed its to the Vonhof, the name by which it is still known, having been named for Louis Vonhof.

Historically, the Vonhof has the background that the old Wiler house, across the street and recently torn down. More history is connected with the Wiler house, Mr. Smith claims. Not Modern Hotel The reason given for closing the Vonhof hotel is too much competition. The landmark could not hold out against the modern hotels which have been erected in Mansfield within the last few years, it is claimed.

The hostelry, which at one time was one of the leading hotels of this vicinity may be made into a hotel similar to the T. A. House. This leaves the Mansfield-Leland, the Southern, Fairview- and Adelphia as the more modern hotels of the city. All of these except the Adelphia serve meals.

R. W. Hartman denied the report that has been in circulation several months that a mail order house was going to take over the Vonhof hotel for business rooms.

Police claim Brady cut Ford and Jones shot Russell two altercations. late last Saturday night.
