In Cedarville’s first decades, before residence halls or campus food
service, students who could not simply go home for lunch formed
“eating clubs”and took their meals at local boarding houses. One of
the more popular places to dine was Mary Murdock’s home on Xenia
Avenue.“Aunt Mary”was something of a political activist, especially
on temperance issues. She was described as having“a sublime faith in
mankind and seldom would believe that the world was full of rascals
or that some might be at her very table.”
