Scenic view Posted on July 31, 2015 0 Sunshine flows through trees onto the Sandusky River at Stepping Stones Park this morning. Above: A doe and two fawns graze in a shady area of Stepping Stones Park, which was named after the stones crossing the river. According to a memorial for Alice Fleck McGann on the bank just above the stones, Patrick O’Brien owned most of the river front from 1870 to 1910. McGann, a daughter of Louis and Rose (O’Brien) Fleck, was O’Brien’s last living grandchild and lived from 1902 to 2000. O’Brien is said to have cared for the stepping stones after the Wyandottes were forced from the area to Kansas, an event referred to as Ohio’s Trail of Tears. Daily Chief-Union/Alissa Paolella
