Abstract

In Greenville, Ohio, two buggy manufacturers, known as the Lotham Brothers, became interested in astronomy. In 1907, they built the telescope that was placed inside the Smith Park Observatory. The Smith Park Observatory is named in honor of a Madison County native, the first Chair of the Department of Physics and longtime Chair of the Department of Mathematics at Eastern Kentucky University. He served Eastern from 1923 until his retirement in 1967.
