                        Notes to Financial Statements

                              December 31, 1994




A.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Oglebay Norton Company Incentive Savings Plan
(the "Plan") are prepared on the accrual basis.  The accounting records are
maintained by the Plan administrator, Oglebay Norton Company (the Company), in
conjunction with Society National Bank, the trustee, who maintains the assets
and distributes benefits.

Investments are stated at fair value representing quoted market prices.
Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year; securities
traded on the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale
was reported on that date are generally valued at the average of the last
reported bid and ask prices.  Investments in the EB MaGIC Fund and guaranteed
insurance contracts are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

The change in the difference between the fair value and the cost of investments
is reflected in the statement of changes in assets available for benefits as
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the aggregate fair value of
investments.

B.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried employees of the
Company's Cleveland office payroll;  Oglebay Norton Industrial Sands, Inc.'s
Central Silica, California Silica Products, and Cleveland office facilities;
Oglebay Norton Refractories & Minerals, Inc.;  and hourly or piecework
employees of the Oglebay Norton Refractories & Minerals, Inc.'s Warren, Ohio
facility.

The Plan allows each participant to elect to contribute from 1% to 6% of base
compensation up to $9,240 in 1994.  The contributions represent tax deferred
compensation contributions and take the form of reductions in salary for income
tax purposes.

The Company is required to contribute an amount equal to 50% of a participant's
contributions up to a maximum of 2% of a participant's compensation.
Additional discretionary contributions are limited to 8% of a participant's
base compensation.  The Company reserves the right, by action of its Board of
Directors, to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of termination of
the Plan, all interests of the participants as they exist at that time become
fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may be distributed immediately in whole or
in part at the sole discretion of the trustee of the Plan.

B.  PLAN DESCRIPTION--CONTINUED

In 1994, the Plan liquidated the assets attributable to the Oglebay Norton
Company Defined Contribution Master Trust along with other investment assets
and established a new investment program which provides for the following
participant directed investment options summarized below:

    LIMITED TERM BOND FUND--Funds are invested in shares of a registered
    investment company that invests in U.S. Government securities, corporate
    obligations, obligations of U.S. banks and commercial paper.

    GROWTH EQUITY FUND--Funds are invested in shares of a registered
    investment company that invests primarily in common and preferred stock and
    securities convertible into common stock.

    INCENTIVE MAGIC FUND--Funds are invested primarily in insurance contracts
    and other investment contracts which provide a guaranteed rate of return.

All assets of the Plan are recorded in individual participant accounts.
Participants are fully vested as to their contributions and vest at 10% per
year for the first four years of employment and fully vest after five years in
all Company contributions made to the Plan.  For participants withdrawing from
the Plan, the unvested portion of Company contributions is forfeited and used
to reduce future Company contributions.  Participants withdrawing by reason of
retirement or other specified circumstances fully vest upon such withdrawal.

The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the summary plan description of The Oglebay Norton
Company Incentive Savings Plan for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.  Copies of this summary are available from the Plan administrator.

D.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").  Therefore, the related Trust is
tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC.  The Compensation and Organization
Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.  The tax
exempt status of the Plan does not apply to the taxability of distributions to
participants under the Plan.

E.  TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

Transactions with parties-in-interest consist of purchases and sales of common
trust fund investments sponsored by Society National Bank.

The Company pays all significant administrative costs of the Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 Compensation and Organization Committee
 Oglebay Norton Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
the Oglebay Norton Company Incentive Savings Plan as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the related statement of changes in assets available for      
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of  
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in   
all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of     
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The Fund
Information in the statement of assets available for benefits and the statement
of changes in assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the assets available for benefits
and changes in assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
