( an anyone tell me who built and where the first house was built in North libertx? Also who lives on that site today?

He was a brother to Rax and Mae M< Daniel. Mildread MJndafer was admitted to the Michiana Hospital, in South Bend, last Thursday.

Florence Weiss, and Helen Bricker all went to Miller's Merry Manor last Wednesday and took their sister. Vylet Baker, out to Lea's Restaurant, where they all enjoyed dinner together. Well, here it is. Januarx already, 1990. So glad the snow is fast disappearing and the iec is gone. I remember back 52 years ago, January 4 when my son was born and we lived in Roy Sheneman tenent house on Road 6. Dr. Thompson, of Tyner, was our

familv doctor and he and his nurse. Georgia Johnson, came out to our house and delivered our son. Dennis for only $25.00. What a difference today. Dr Thompson will never be forgotten as he had patients all over and he would go anxtime, dax or night, when called. Not so today. In 1949, when the Thompsons celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, he estimated that he had delivered over 4<NX) babies and he delivered many more after that Many times the parents of the new babies he delivered had themselves been delivered bx him. 1 es. he was a wonderful doctor and will alwavs be remembered by those w ho knew him. Sixteen ''Friends and Neighbors" met last Tuesday. Januarx 2 ai one o'clock at the Community Budding where they all enjoyed playing bingo. Snacks were also enjoyed and many won nice prizes. They decided to meet again on the first Tuesday of February and play again, so please come join us for the fun and fellowship, between one and three. This time, please bring a prize to add to the donations. An offering will be taken to pay for the use of the building each month.
