The written legacy of the late Mrs.Dorothy Henshaw and the drawings of her dear friend, Caroline Williams, are an important part of thisbook. I want to thank both Constance Lee Menefee and her son, Jonathan Burkhardt, for their technicalassistance. Also, Gail Finke kindly made her College Hill photograph scans available.Knowing that this book will be used for genealogy, the tangled, intermarried, and indexed CollegeHill family trees are found in the Appendix. Much of this information has been graciously submitted bythe families represented. There are three indexes-one for the text, one for photographs and a final one forthe Appendix.The cover illustration is portion of a Strobridge Lithograph ca. 1865 of College Hill. This book’stitle came from Tom Lowe, a Farmers’ College student, who described College Hill in 1853 as “A littlepiece of Paradise which an accidental opening of the clouds let fall upon the earth.”College Hill Historical SocietyCincinnati, Ohioi
