    The Antioch Nine were pitched against the Cincinnati Red Stockings in a makeup for a rain game that was called over 150 years ago.

    Scott and Jillian Marshall are in their seventh year of raising beef cattle at their West Jackson Road farm a few miles northeast of the village.

    Although agriculture is Ohio’s No. 1 industry, most of what is grown in the state is not consumed here.
