There was a Gypsy Camp at Olentangy Park, first mentioned in 1907^[1]. Queen Stella, the "genuine gypsy fortune teller," was only there for one year from Egypt and told "past, present and future, from cradle to grave." She spoke 14 different languages.^[2] Dona Stevens, the new queen, was crowned on August 15, 1908.^[3]

Madam Marea performed as one of the fortune tellers. A classified ad said she was a "psychological reader" who had been at the park since 1907.^[4]
