Engle’s Corner, located on the northeast corner of present-day Oxford State Road and Main Street, takes its name from the home of the prominent Engle Family that resided there. The family consisted of Henry E. Engle (1834 - 1909) and Ida Ryerson Engle (1840 - 1906) and their six children: Eleanor “Nellie” Boylen Engle (1862 - 1924); Henry Ryerson Engle (1864 - 1939); Mary “Mame” Erwin Engle (1860 - 1908); Louise “Lou” Noble Engle (1867 - 1892); Estella Engle (born 1869); and Frederick William Engle (1869 - 1938). Henry Ryerson married Minnie Schiffer Harding (1871 - 1951); Louise married George Waggoner Hood; and Frederick married Ella Irene Purcell (1885 - 1940). Eleanor and Mary never married, and are sometimes referred to as the “Maiden Aunts”. Henry E. was the Butler County Treasurer. Mary graduated from college and studied art in Boston and Chicago, before becoming the Director of Art for Middletown schools. Henry Ryerson joined the Harding-Jones Paper Company. He and Minnie had a daughter, Sarah Adelaide Engle (1897 - 1961). Frederick became a deputy to his father. Nellie remained at home helping her mother. She left many letters that were found in the house when it was torn down. The Engles are buried in Woodside Cemetery and Arboretum. In the early 1950s, the home was torn down for the construction of a King Kwik convenience store.</div>
