The post office for this "United Community of United Christians" was named Berea. The Berea Seminary was incorporated in 1837 as a "working school" based on the lyceum system developed by Josiah Holbrook. The community failed in 1844. Upon his invention of a lathe for turning sandstone grindstones, Baldwin founded the Baldwin Quarry Co. in 1842. This established the Berea sandstone industry which lasted over a century. Baldwin donated land to the Methodist Episcopal Church for the Baldwin Institute in 1845, which became Baldwin University in 1855, and eventually Baldwin-Wallace College in 1913.

Feuchter, Hilbert T. Ficken, Adam J. Loeppert, Frances F. Mills, Bertha L. Stiefel, and Myron F. Wicke. It chronicles the development of Baldwin-Wallace College, affliated with the United Methodist Church. Baldwin University came into existence in 1855 from a series of preceding institutions that included the Berea Seminary and the Baldwin Institute. All three were created with the aid of John Baldwin. In 1863, German Wallace College was established by Baldwin University trustee James Wallace around a nucleus of the Baldwin University Department of German. The two merged in 1913 to create Baldwin-Wallace College. The collection consists of a typescript of seven chapters covering the years 1790-1913 and including narrative on the early settlement of Berea,Ohio, the establishment of both institutions, and early student life. http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4270.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT
