Dr. Oram Nincehelser House in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Oram had this house built in 1893 for his new bride from New York. In adulthood, Oram Nincehelser (1857-1942), became a physician, opening a practice in 1887 and continuing for more than thirty years. The magnificent new residence was built primarily to impress his new bride, sadly, the couple did not live long in the house: Mrs. Nincehelser deserted her husband after just a few years of marriage. In later years, the original meeting hall of Mechanicsburg's Odd Fellows lodge burned, and Nincehelser sold his home to them in 1931; he had lived alone in the house since his wife left him. Architectural Style-Queen Anne. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985. GPS: 40.07291°N, -83.55663°W.
Note: Buried in Jenkins Chapel Cemetery in Urbana, Ohio
