The Sebring family came from the Netherlands and moved to Pennsylvania. George E. and Elizabeth Larkins Sebring eventually settled in East Liverpool; where they ran a grocery business and lived with their ten children. The Sebrings then decided to find property and build a pottery town; as they had been involved in potteries in East Liverpool and East Palestine. They settled on 200 acres of farmland near the Mahoning River; with the railroad running through the property. After a great deal of work in starting the new town; the Articles of Incorporation were filed in 1899. Potteries and homes were constructed; and Sebring became a flourishing town; at one point considered the pottery center of the world.

Great Cliff Notes Version of the More Modern History of OKCBy RocknRollGal109I actually read this book twice because I felt that I had missed a few things the first time around. What a great Cliff Notes version of recent OKC History. I think the first 3 chapters were very well written and detailed oriented. The Author managed to transport me back to the time my mother was born and gave me a better insight into what was going in her world during that time period. The rest of the book is a pretty easy read and provide some interesting pictures of recent changes to OKC so that the reader can compare that to images from the late 1800s. I thought it was actually a nice touch to include some family photos so that people 100 years from now can see what was going on at the turn of the 21st century. I thought Mr. Griffith did an excellant job on taking us down memory lane. Although this particular book was not my favorite I find it a great read and a must book for those history lovers in your family. DC0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
