At 31, lifetime Yellow Springs resident Ann Miles never knew Wheeling Gaunt or his legacy. But when she suddenly became a widow, the man who died more than 100 years ago became a comfort in her life. [...] When she got a call that the village’s utility department would deliver flour and sugar to her door, she didn’t know what to think. But she understood what it meant to receive kindness from a stranger — one who’s been offering it for the past 118 years. The tradition dates back to a deal struck between Gaunt, a former slave, and the village in 1894. He donated 10 acres of farmland to the village on the condition that it deliver flour to all the local widows at Christmastime with rent money collected off the parcel. The land is now Gaunt Park, and while there’s no longer any rent collected, the village still keeps its promise.
