Death and Memorials
[edit]- Died November 12, 1905, in New York City.
- Eulogies were presented at a memorial January 6, 1906[8][9]. Henry Kirke Cushing, father of Harvey Cushing, and son of Erastus Cushing, who built the Cushing Block in 1869[10], extant in Cleveland, Ohio; described the early history of the City of Cleveland and how Gaylord family came to prominence in the 1830s with a drug store, setting the stage for the life of "Will Gaylord." James D. Williamson, fifteen years before becoming president of Case Western Reserve University, described Gaylord's time there as a student in the 1860s, and Gaylord's later use of his East Cleveland residence, which he called "The Owl's Nest," being situated on a hill overlooking East Cleveland. Gaylord pursued law just a few years. "Retiring from the more active pursuits of life, he gave the freer rein to his love of literature." Charles Orr, Cleveland bookseller and Librarian at Case Library, presented the third eulogy, describing Gaylord's bibliophilia, first encountering Gaylord in a Cleveland bookstore in 1889, after his return from London. Orr described frequent lunches with Gaylord and other book lovers in a downtown Cleveland[11] restaurant, and how in time these conversations led to founding a place where book lovers could meet. Orr said Gaylord was a "book man," but not a fine book collector. "He was ... almost totally lacking in method," and "He valued his library not as a collection of rarities to be wondered at, but as a company of friends and teachers."

Pippen Lake is a natural lake in Portage County, Ohio, United States. It is a kettle lake and has no natural tributaries or outlets. The lake is located Franklin Township, approximately one mile (1.6 km) northeast of the Kent city limits with the unincorporated area of Brady Lake surrounding the lake. From 1927 to 2017, the areas along the eastern and southern shores were part of the village of ???.[10]
Pippen Lake is part of the park Towner's Woods.
Name
[edit]Pippen Lake gets its name from .... https://archive.org/stream/portageheritageh00holm/portageheritageh00holm_djvu.txt
In 1835, the P. & O. canal commission published a report in the Ohio Star, referring to the various lakes along the canal route. It speaks of "Lake Pepin, lying north of Brady Lake."
Prof. H. F. Raup, of KSU geography and geology department, in making a study of place names, has found the name spelled "Pippen" as early as 1857 and thereafter spelled "Pepin," "Pipin," "Pippen" and "Pippin." Local spelling for more than 100 years, in papers and local maps, has been "Pippin." Prof. Raup reccommends this spelling. How the lake got the name in the first place is not yet clear. Some think it is a variation of an old Indian name, or of an individual.
Historical uses
[edit]Pippen Lake was used during the operation of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal as a source of water along with nearby Brady Lake, as the canal passed just to the south of the lake just east of present-day Kent, Ohio.[11] From 1900-1924 Pippen Lake was used to harvest ice in for local ice boxes, with some ice being shipped as far as Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio.[12]
