Biographical Sketch:

Andrew Sheets Iddings was born on October 18, 1880 in Dayton, Ohio. He was the second son

of Charles Dickens Iddings and Aurora Belle Alice Sheets Iddings. Iddings had two brothers,

Daniel Wilkinson Iddings, II, born in 1879 and Roscoe Charles Iddings born in 1889.

Andrew Sheets Iddings was a Dayton lawyer by profession, but he was also a civic leader,

explorer, author, and photographer. Travel and exploration were very important to Iddings,

eventually becoming a second career for him. This career began almost by chance in 1902, when

Iddings met a representative of the Canadian Immigration Department who was looking for Ohio

government officials willing to tour the Canadian Northwest. Iddings was interested and this trip

marked the beginning of many other foreign adventures. Some of these adventures took form as

an African safari and three world tours.

Traveling provided Andrew S. Iddings with material to use in writing and in photography. He

became a stereographic photographer for the Keystone View Company in the early 1900s. As an

author, he built quite a reputation for himself through writing newspaper articles and magazine

articles on his travels. A biography entitled Andrew S. Iddings Explorer: The Story of his Life

and Travels tells of his life and reprints many of his articles.

Andrew S. Iddings followed family tradition when he became a lawyer. Both his father and

grandfather had successfully practiced law in Ohio before him. The partnership of D.W. and A.S.

Iddings was so successful that over the years it expanded to become Iddings, Jeffery, and

Donnelly.

The three Iddings brothers founded the Fyr-Fyter Company in 1916. This manufacturing venture

was established to manufacture a line of fire extinguishers and other related products. It

remained under their control until 1946, when it was sold to an eastern bidder, William M.

Wetzel. Roscoe C. Iddings served as President and active manager for two years. With his

retirement in 1947, the Iddings brothers’ association with the Fyr-Fyter Company was

terminated.

Being part of the 1909 Commissioners of Montgomery County and Preble County, Iddings

assisted in many decisions. One decision he made would bring to light the deplorable conditions


of the Stillwater Sanatorium. He would be elected as Secretary of the Board of Trustees on May

4, 1934 and would oversee the rebuilding of facilities and updating of equipment.

Iddings became a member of the Dayton City Plan Board in 1934. It was during this time that the

Federal Low Rent Housing statute passed and he was highly interested in building affordable

housing in Dayton. He eventually became Chairman of the Dayton Metropolitan Housing

Authority and oversaw the completion of eight housing projects.

Andrew S. Iddings was always a supporter of Dayton, Ohio. Serving on many different civic and

cultural boards until his death in 1974 at the age of 93, Iddings helped Dayton become a leader in

municipal development.

Scope and Content:

The Andrew S. Iddings Papers reflect his diverse interests and skills as a lawyer, a traveler and

explorer, photographer, author, and civic leader. The collection is arranged into five series.

Series I, Travel and Exploration, 1880-1972, covers Iddings passion for travel and exploration.

Galley proofs for the articles appearing in the book Andrew S. Iddings Explorer are contained

within this series. Handwritten notes by Andrew S. Iddings are included for several of his

newspaper articles. When no dates were found, the articles were kept in the order in which they

were found. Information dealing with Andrew S. Iddings’ association with the Keystone View

Company is also found in this grouping.

All correspondence, etc., associated with Andrew S. Iddings’ various club memberships dealing

with travel and/or exploration are located here. Newspaper articles about the Iddings’ brothers

and their trips abroad, visa and passport information, itineraries, cruise correspondence and

general correspondence are found here. An interesting section entitled “Mother Dear” contains

correspondence between Andrew S. Iddings and his mother. Another item of note that might

prove useful to the researcher is a 1950 letter of reference provided by Dayton’s Chief of Police

M.C. Kirkpatrick (MS-435) that shows Andrew S. Iddings’ fingerprints.


Series II, Education and Legal Profession, 1899-1971 comprises Iddings’ interactions with

colleges and his legal profession. It contains the honorary degrees Iddings received along with

collegiate correspondence with multiple colleges including Ohio State and Miami Universities.

Of note is documentation of Andrew S. Iddings’ gift of a geophysical globe to Miami University.

Legal correspondence, affidavits, and other routine legal correspondence make up the legal

profession section of this series. Some items of interest for the researcher might be the

correspondence relating to the retirement case of Captain John G. Weeks, a hand-drawn map of

Monument Avenue as it appeared in an 1865 Atlas, and the articles of Incorporation for The

Producers Co-op Gas Company. Each file covers a set period of years beginning with pre-1920

and ending with 1967. Within these files, the material is arranged chronologically from earliest

to latest.

Series III, Business and Personal Finances, 1848-1971, covers the business and personal finance

aspects of Iddings’ life. This series contains documents from Fyr-Fyter, Dayton Metropolitan

Housing Authority and Stillwater Sanatorium. There is a section dedicated to each which

includes correspondence and other related materials. The Personal Finance section contains

correspondence about stocks Iddings purchased, along with a petty cash ledger. An original Fyr-

Fyter Model “A” fire extinguisher (No. N100409) is also in this series. The extinguisher was

emptied of chemical by the Wright State University, Environmental, Health and Safety Office.

Series IV, Personal and Family Papers, 1803-1971, documents Iddings on a personal level. It

includes family papers, biographical and genealogical materials of Andrew and his family, and

general correspondence. Most notable in this section is his correspondence with Governor John

M. Bricker, Harry N. Routgohn, M.C., Frederick H. Rike, and Harry P. Jeffery, M.C.

Series V, Photographs and Drawings, 1850-1971, contains photographs relating to the first four

series. The collection includes stereographic and glass lantern slides he made when he worked

for Keystone. The series is arranged to correlate with the above series. Most notable in this

collection are cabinet cards of General McClellan and Mrs. Abraham Lincoln along with three

pictures of the Magnetic Springs Hotel in Bellbrook, Ohio which burned down in 1898.
