Kate Milrer Rabb Writes About Decatur In Her Column, “The Hoosier Listening Post

“The Hocsier Listening Post.” a column of the Indianapolis Star, conducted by Kate Milner Rabb, who was among the guests attending Limberiost Day of Decatur's Old Hom-? Week, and the pageant, gave the following historical account of Decatur and of Mrs. Rabb's visit to Decatur - ’’lt was a long trip to Decatur —several hours on the interurban to Fort Wayne, and a bus ride from Fort Wayne to the county seat of Adams county. It was a pleasant trip, however. for the northern Indiana land scape is sufficiently dilferent from ours to be interesting and t|ie ‘ happy autumn fields” were -still green and flower sprinkled, and the roadsides wore their new fall decoration of goldenrc 1 and imuweed. And for company there was the little woman from southwestern Kentucky. She was born ni Louisville, she said but her husband was interested iu the Kentucky coal mines, and near them she had to live. Her pronunciation proved the truth of her statement. Most of us say - Louisville, but she had the true Louisvillian pronunciation — Lou-uh Ville. She talked about the weather and about Kentucky, and finally, at the sight of an old chair on a porch, suggested antiques. ‘ She and her husband had bought an old colonial house, rhe said, and it ‘really required” old-fashioned furmture. For a little while I thought perhaps she knew her subject, but when she told me of the old "spool bed” more than a hundred and fifty years old, when spool beds belong to the fifties and sixties, my faith was shaken, and when she concluded with a story of finding a beautiful chair in a Negro cabin, and the chair was a patent tocker, 1 decided that It would be better nr ver to have to see that "old colonial” house and its treasures! "There is little about Adams coun iy in the Gazateer of 1849—it was too new at that time. In 1840, according to this authority, the population of the county was 2.284. 'The face of the country is generally level,’ says the old writer. ‘The wet prairies form the sources of the crocks and from several of them water runs into the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi. The most of them show traces of beaver dams.' The Information Is added that in 18'9 there were in Adams countythree lawyers, five physicians, six ministers of the gospel, five stores, three groceries, six warehouses, one merchant mill (whatever that may be), one oil mill, one ashery (and what, pray, is an ashery?), one tannery, two saddlers, ten shoemakers, seven blacksmiths, two tailors, five cabinetmakers and twenty carpenters. The writer concludes his account of Adams county with the statement that this county, ‘if properly improved, will be a first-rate farming region.' ‘ This old writer would have been

much surprised had he been able to 1 e present at the ‘Old Home Week' celebrated at Decatur the week of Sept. 10, and seen the crowds that thronged the gayly decorated streets, the substantial buildings, the beaut tul monument in the Courthouse yard, and the pageant that told the story of the county’s history. The stcry of the first settlement of Decatur as told by French Quinn will give the reader some idea of the isolation of this part of the state at р. time when Indiana territory had been a state for seventeen years. "One of the founders of Decatur v.as Thomas Johnson, born in 1801 in Ohio. Having heard that Adams county was a good county in which t > locate and having the pioneer spirit he set out on his journey, following the trails and the river, located what appealed to him as a good place for a settlement, staked it. tramped to Fort Wayne and made his entry, returned to make a clearing and erect a cabin. It is interesting to note that this place is still owned by his son Jacob. At. this time, the place was completely isolated, says Mr. Quinn. There were three small settlements some distance away. ’All traffic, such as there was, was by the river. Supplies were barged by canal to Fort Wayne and salt and coffee were boated from Fort Wayne up the river to Monmouth and Pleasant Mills. Salt and coffee were the limit, however, to the imports. These two necessities, of course, Johnson had to have, and he had to come to the river and waited with patience for t'.ie b at which made weekly trips very irregularly. Where Decatur is, and all the adjacant territory, was a trackless forest. Johnson blazed a few trees to mark the trail from the cabin to the river. There were no с. her tree-marking blazes, as they were called, in the whole territory. The Gen'. Wayne trail had been only of such a nature as to let the army wagons and guns through, and had long since been obliterated." 0 — Indianapolis, Sept. 20 — Frank Wright, hone dry law author, returned to his desk in the securities division of the secretary of state’s office this week after a honeymoon cf several weeks spent in the Michigan lake country.
