In 1879, Thomas Axworthy's star was on the rise in Cleveland. This October 13, 1879 Plain Dealer article notes that he was serving as president of the West Side Democracy, a political club of West Side democrats. Note that immediately below his name are listed the names of two legendary Franklin Boulevard residents of this era--James M. Coffinberry, a former Common Pleas Judge and father of shipping magnate Henry Coffinberry, and Stephen Buhrer, a close friend of John D. Rockefeller and Cleveland's mayor from 1867-1870. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper CollectionDownload Original File
