Island History
Oral reports have stated
that this house was built by John Ditchey on the south side of the
road in 1890, then moved to this present location when the lake
rose and the shore eroded. A photograph on file does show a much
smaller house on the north side of the road, but it is cited as
that of Peter Ditchey, John's brother.
It is known that, as fishermen, Peter Ditchey born in 1849 and his
younger brother, John, born in 1853 came to Kelleys Island
shortly before 1880 and purchased land in Lot 9 on which, in 1893,
Peter erected a twine shanty. At the same time a cook house over
which John presided, a bunk house for their crew, and Peter's
house were all built just west of this location, and on the shore
side of the road.
In 1890, Peter married Julia Monohgan, and they moved to Pelee
Island. John remained on Kelleys Island and the 1900 Census shows
him living in his own house and boarding a crew of 6 other
fishermen. It therefore seems most probable that he built this
house for himself between 1893 and 1900.
John engaged in gill net and pound fishing as part of the Sandusky
Fish Company, which he and his brother had founded using Koster's
Dock for his pound boats.
