Loyal Employees of the Defiance Machine Works - 1943

For many years, Lloyd V. Tuttle contributed historic photos and information to the Defiance Crescent-News for his column, "A Backward Glance."   The loyal workers of the Defiance Machine Works were named in this undated clip.



"THESE MEN served with the old Defiance Machine Works through three wars and had a combined total service of 450 years.  The picture was taken in March, 1943.

Standing are, from left: Otis Ensign, Fay Martin, Claude Ensign, T. Fahey, E. Steffel, and O. Pickering; and seated, Fred Miller, F. Houck, Charles Ensign and E. Miller."

    Is there a pictorial history of Defiance Machine Works? My Great great grandfather and at least two of his sons worked there from 1870-1910

    I'm not sure, Todd, but the Tuttle Museum in the city did a display on the Machine Works not long ago. In fact, I think it is still up. I would contact them to ask. Open Thursday now from 10-4 for visiting. Phone 419-782-0746.
