A Little Of:

This and That

A certain lady is going to be missed after Friday at the FirstCitizens Branch Bank on Indianapolis Road. I am writing about Juanita Murray, who is retiring Friday after 31 years association with both the Central National and First-Citizens Banks. During those years, Juanita has waited on many customers and has made many friends. It certainly has been my privilege to have known Juanita and her husband. Bill, ever since they came to Greencastle from Clinton in 1933. Juanita will join Bill in his retirement from Public Service Indiana. Best wishes to you both good friends. 000 The annual Life Membership dinner will be held this Saturday eveningat the Gen. Jesse M. Lee Post 1550Home. As of today, 146 veterans of foreign wars were in this select group who will enjoy Saturday’s meal. 000 And here’s congratulations in advance to Art and Jo Nevins who will observe their 45th wedding anniversary this Saturday, September 1st. I hope thev have many more. 000 Now that school is underway again, let’s all drive caret ully and watch out for youngsters crossing the streets on their way to and from their respective buildings. It is also advisable to keep an extra lookout for kids on bicycles. They could turn the w rong w ay in front of your car. 000 Wayne Hopkins, erstwhile County Coroner, has returned from a fishing trip to Minnesota. He told me he has some real fish stories to tell. Of course, he might have some pictures to back up these tales. 000

Old Trail Inn Was Famous Restaurant

A former eating establishment which was famous for its lemon pie and hot rolls ceased to be Saturday when the Old Trail Inn, just east of Putnamville, went up in flames. Purchased in 1947 by Marion Wilson, Old Trail Inn became one of the popular eating places in Putnam County for the next 18 years. Card of Thanks I would like to express my sincere thanks to Drs. Lett, Haggerty, Hannon, and Clock, Rev. Smith and all the nurses and aids for the gentle care I received during my recent stay in the hospital. I would also like to thank my friends, neighbors, and relatives for their concern, sympathy, cards, gifts, and food. I shall always remember them. Frieda Hurst

Because of its capacity and food, it became a favorite place for group meetings of all sizes. Located on Old U.S. 40, just off of present U.S. 40, the Inn enjoyed a heavy week end traffic. “On one Sunday, “says Marion Wilson, who owned and operated Old Trail,” we served 981 meals.” One of Marion’s first employees was Mrs. Floy Williams of Putnamville. He hired her because of her well known abilities to make lemon pie and the “melt-in-the-mouth’ kind of hot rolls. Two other early employees were Mrs. William’s daughters, Bonita Holton of Putnamville and Betty Stachokas of Reelsville. They, along with other young women of the Putnamville area, served as waitresses. Predecessor to Old Trail Inn was the Grant Hotel w hich was built in 1920 by Albert Iselin of Indianapolis who operated it for a few years and then sold out, moved to the South and began raising cattle. Later owners of Grant Hotel ran afoul of the law because of alleged gambling activities. The place was raided and closed and remained that way until it was purchased by Mr. Wilson. One of the attractions to Old Trail, in addition to the food and service, was the Pearl O’Hair Gift Shop which was operated adjacent to the main lobby for many years. Marion Wilson closed out Old Trail as an eating place in December 1965 and the building was vacant a few years before it was purchased by David and Ann Stigler, who owned the structure at the time of the fire. Among the famous visitors who stopped at Old Trail Inn was Beatrice Lilley, actor and comedienne. Miss Lilley had been at some DePauw function and at Old Trail discovered that she had a flat tire. The cook repaired the damage and received two dollars for his labor. When celebrities were guests of Old Trail, they would often be brought through the kitchen to meet the employees, Mrs. Holton remembers. One history of Putnam County makes brief mention that a hotel occupied the Grant Hotel-Old Trail Inn site as early as 1864. No other information on this subject seems to be available and most other residents questioned said they had no definite memory of a prior hotel at this place. Former County Judge John H. Alice says he believes there may have been a little hotel thereat one time but he doesn’t know what it was called. Mrs. Floy Williams says the prior to the erection of Grant Hotel, the spot was occupied by a residence in which an Alice family lived.

Delta Zeta Alumnae To Give Doll Away

The Greencastle Delta Zeta Alumnae are going to give every young girl a chance to have a “Look Around Crissy” doll for her very own. The doll has a complete wardrobe, and clothes tree to hang them on, that keeps her right in style with the times. She comes with a wedding dress, several slacks outfits with matching purses, a long velvet cape, an evening dress, a shorts set and many more. The doll has hair that grows long or can be short and even be washed and set in rollers. Tickets are being sold for 25c each. A drawing will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8 at Sycamore — Continuedfrom Page l Greencastle. According to the report, the soils and sites of the Sycamore Trails RC & D are “among the best in Indiana timber production,” and “famous black walnut country among all timber buyers.” Also in demand is its high quality sugar maple, yellow poplar, red and white oaks and white ash. “The potential for maple syrup production is one of the highest in Indiana,” the report notes, and further points out that “a central evaporation plant which would procure and process raw maple sap from farmers is considered by several maple experts as an attractive base for a new industry. Few farmers feel they have the time for complete maple syrup production. The few in this business, located primarily in Parke, Putnam and Clay counties, have improved their operations but “cannot fill local demands and the greatly increased tourist demands for this product. Primitive operations are attractive to tourists and add to tourist trade, but use only a fraction of the resource,” the report points out.

In Memoriam In loving memory of our devoted parents and grandparents, and great-grandparents, George Ross Shillings who passed away three years ago, August 30, 1970. Minta Catherine Shillings who passed away three years ago today, August 29,1970. Three years has passed since that sad day. And long it seems tis’ true. We think continually of those who were truly great (our parents) Now the good Lord has them with Him up above. Sad have we been deep in our hearts. Since the master called for you both. Your life was full and busy, The shock to us was severe. Yet in our hearts we hoped and prayed That God would let you stay. Oh, how we miss you dearest. As you quietly lie at rest. But thinking now of God’s great plan. We know that he knows best. Those dear tired hands are resting now, But the place you held within our hearts, Can never more be filled. More and more our thoughts do wander. To the graves where we laid our darling parents. Some sweet day we hope to meet you. In that heavenly home so fair. Where with Jesus and our loved ones. You’ll be waiting for us up there. So sadly missed by Your son, daughter-in-law, Paul, Eleanore, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren Rector Funeral Home Ambulance Service 653-4810
