Former Grady House, City Potato Chip Outlet Toppled

A Greencastle showplace home from the Iasi century became a pile of rubble yesterday as it succumbed to the demolition hammer. This latest DePauw Uni-versity-owned structure to come down is the Grady House at the corner of Indiana and Larabee streets. It has served the university as a plumbing shop for a number of years. At one time the l arabee

home, occupied by a family prominent in the history of DePauw, the house was later occupied by the George Shephard family. It was also owned by a family by name of Grady when DePauw purchased it several years ago. Miss Helen Werneke and her sister, Mrs. Julia Deem, had a special fondness for the now-razed structure since it stood adjacent to tneir family home on S. Indiana St.

The sisters recall that Shephard used one room of the house to make potato chips which he sold commercially. After his customers were satisfied, the surplus could be sampled by the neighborhood children. And they were every bit as good as the chips widely advertised on TV today, according to the sisters. Adding to the historical interest of the Grady House is

the reported entrance from its basement into Sellers cave. Judge Francis Hamilton is among the Greencastle residents who was acquainted with this entrance as a boy. The main entrance to the cave is southwest of the city near the Monon railroad. Evidence of the cavern leading from Sellers Cave is given by the sunken appearance of the rock retaining

Sheriff Jim Baugh, who has kept in touch with the South Bend youth’s condition since McDaniel fell last Dec. 18. Baugh, who worked with the former DePauw University student when the youth was a special deputy and assistant at the county jail, said that McDaniel is now at home and must have a nurse with him at all times. The Deputy said that he can have visitors and that the former student would appreciate any letters or greetings. His address is 2101 Madison, South Bend, 46617. While McDaniel was a student at DePauw he not only worked with the sheriffs department but also served as an assistant probation officer in the county probation office for Mrs. Mildred Hervey. He liked Greencastle and planned to live here, friends reported. But then while practicing on exercise rings in Bowman gym at the university he fell to critical injury. He has been almost totally paralyzed since but has shown some improvement. Special Bainbridge Meeting Slated A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Bainbridge has been called for 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall in the north county town July 10. In the session the board is to discuss the transfer of $2,000 from motor vehicle highway funds to the account for payment of employes salaries. In other news of county meetings, the Little Walnut Creek Conservancy District board of directors has announced that they will act on the expenditure of $136,000 from the recently closed $200,000 loan from the FHA July 9 at 2:30 at the Moore Building, Route 1, Greencastle. The monies are to be used to defray the expenses of the district for the 1973 ending Dec. 31. Among the uses earmarked for the funds, $112,000 is proposed for the purchase of land for the district.

Baugh said that McDaniel has regained his speech, talking in an audible whisper, and that the youth’s mind is 100 per cent functioning. But the deputy sheriff noted that doctors have stated the paralysis will be permanent. But, Baugh said, McDaniel’s parents have hope that someday he will be able to live a normal life. “He thinks that way too,” the deputy sheriff said.

wall on the Indiana Street side of the now demolished building. Greencastle Attorney Glenn Lyon is well acquainted with the fallen house since one of his relatives married into the Shephard family. He says that it was formerly occupied by the Larabees, for whom the adjoining street is named. Miss Eleanor Cammack, former DePauw archivist, says records show that William C. Larabee did live in this house, however, it is indicated that someone else built it. Coming to Greencastle from Maine, William C. Larabce, who joined the DePauw faculty in 1841 as professor of mathematics and natural sciences, sent back to his native state for pine, spruce, tamarack and larch trees and planted them in Rosabower to represent a Maine forest. Rosabower was the name given to the area west of Hogate Hall. The Larabee home was on the site now occupied by Longden Hall. Trees of evergreen variety left standing on the lawn of the fallen Grady House are thought to have their origin in Maine and to have been planted there by Professor Larabee.

The latest DePauw University-owned structure to be toppled is the old Grady House, at the corner of Indiana and Larabee Streets. This structure, once a city showplace, has had a colorful background-once used as an outlet for homemade potato chips. The

chips were made in the old home. The pines in the front yard are said to have been imported into the area from Maine.

Eastham Tells Kiwanis

With Corps Okay, 3,000 More Sheltered In County

“If the Corps of Army Engineers approve the 45 additional shelters proposed for Putnam County, we will be able to house 3,000 more persons than were registered here when the 1970 U.S. census was taken,” Mel Eastham, area Civil Defense Director, told Greencastle Kiwanians yesterday. Speaking at the club’s noon luncheon in the DePauw Union, Eastham said that the county already maintains 27 shelters to be used in time of disaster. Each is equipped to sustain life for a two weeks period. Shelters are maintained at no local expense. While Putnam County is not considered a potential target for nuclear destruction, there are 36 natural disasters which could possibly occur here. Of these, Eastham said, tornado presently poses the greatest threat. “Putnam County at this time doesn’t have a tornado warning system,” the civil defense director said. His unit, however, does have “sky watchers” who report sighted Bible Thought Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain.Zechariah 10:1. We may live in a scientific age but we still have* an appreciation of God’s control over nature, for this is our Father’s world.

tornadoes to the Indiana State Police, who in turn call the National Weather Service. Eastham said that some progress is being reported on electronic home warning systems which would operate through electric service outlets or through the telephone system. The local civil defense organization has staff members

assigned to county nursing homes and the county hospital ready to go into action if a tornado was approaching these areas. Emergency plans have been drawn up in all of these institutions. A siren to be used as a tornado alert at the Indiana State Farm, has been heard in Greencastle. Eastham ^nd his 80-man volunteer crew have been called into action several

times recently to check on windstorm damage. They have patrolled the stricken areas and have reported damage to authorities. The unit also provides traffic control services during parades and other public gatherings. The Putnam County Civil Defense organization works closely with the National Guard in emergency situa-

tions. Eastham pointed out that the civil defense unit can only be activated by police or other civil authority. It has no police powers. While Putnam County is not listed as a nuclear target, there is a local set up available in event such an emergency would occur. The nearest target area is St. Louis. Eastham stated.

Local Church Announces

First Woman Eucharist Minister At St. Paul’s

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Indianapolis has honored the request of Father William F. Stineman, Pastor of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Greencastle, by commissioning a woman of the local parish to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, the church announced. Until now it has been unprecedented at the St. Paul parish to have a Catholic woman assist with the distribution of Holy Communion either at Mass or separate from Mass. In the past several months, two men of the parish have been functioning in this office. The recipient of this com-

mission is Mrs. Catherine Flynn, wife of Richard V. Flynn, local citizen who is retired from IBM and presently associated with Taylor Graphics here. Mrs. Flynn resides with her husband on Sherwood Drive. She has been active in the parish religious education program for the past twenty years and has served as Church Sacristan during that same period. Mrs. Flynn will be formally commissioned in a special ceremony on Sunday, July 1st, at the 9 a.m. Mass and will begin her duties immediately. The office of Lay Minister of the Eucharist dates back to the early Church when mem-

bers of the faithful were assigned certain minor clerical tasks, the church said. As time passed, these offices came to be raised to the level of M inor Orders and were imposed only on those men preparing for the priesthood. Now, a recent move within the Church is to suppress the Minor Orders and to replace them with Special Ministries, given to both men and women among the faithful as well as to those aspiring to the rank of Priest. This Ministry of the Eucharist is an example of the latest trend in the Church and will be executed in Greencastle for the first time in the person of a lay woman it was announced.
