NORTH LIBERTY NEWS Byh Gladys Sheneman Mildred Hunter returned home after spending three weeks with her sent. Bob, in Spring, Texas. They spent a weekend in Corpus Christi visiting her granddaughter, Julieanne Marshall. They also went to Beaumount where she watched Bob make his 60th parachute jump. After much persuasion she was convinced to make a tandem jump from an airplane 10.000 feet up in the air. A wonderful one time experience for her. They also drove thru many of the flood areas. A very sad sight to see all those homes standing in deep water. Kim and Claudia Stuber, of Sylvia Drive, returned home Saturday evening after a week-long honeymoon trip on a Caribbean cruise. Just a reminder to let you know that the North Liberty folks and Walkerton folks who are down in Florida for the winter, will be holding their get-together on Tuesday, Feburary 11 at the Elks Club, in Sebring. Some are calling that are going down and want to know when and where it will be held. So here is your information. Recycling will be on Thursday, Jan. 16 and Friday, Jan. 17. Watch the paper for times. Thanks to Roy Gark and his son, Stuart, and son-in-law, Rodney Ozanich, for putting up the new wrought iron sign over the drive, as you drive into Westlawn Cemetery, which tells you now where Westlawn is located. It looks great. They also placed a cremation seat in the circle, in which 4 urns can be placed. Check it out and let them know that you appreciate it. Carl and Barb Zimmerie and Jerry and Marylin Willoughby, of South Bend, spent Saturday with Grant and Louranne Poynter, in Kokomo. Ray and Evelyn Stoneburner, of Plymouth, entertained Sunday with a birthday dinner for Susie Teter,

of Mishaw aka, who was celebrating her birthday. Others present were ‘ Kenny Teter, Randa Harvy, of Mishawaka and Gladys Sheneman, of North Liberty. Our sympathy this week goes to the Harold Roush family. Harold was well known in this community as he lived near Teegarden when growing up and graduated from North Liberty High School. He would have been 80 years old on the 28th of January. Harold worked in real estate but he always found time to visit the sick, not only in the hospital, but in their homes, and he also didn't miss visiting residents in the various nursing homes and always gave them a word of cheer and left them with a prayer. Yes, Harold is going to be greatly missed, as he always had a smile and helped so many people that he met from day to day. He was an inspiration. A party was given for Gyde and Rose Creech on Thursday, January 9th, at the home of Mrs. Catherine Rudd. Twenty-five guests attended coming from LaPorte, LaPaz, Argos, Koontz Lake, Walkerton and North Liberty. A pot luck dinner was served at noon and all had a good time reminising together. Amy Wardman, of Walkerton and Ruth Finch spent last Wednesday at the home of Ruth Price, in South Bend, micro-filming old North Liberty Newspaper for the library in South Bend. The genealogy workerers are looking for anything interesting to be put in the public library. Mary Johnson wrote in her diary 100 years ago that her uncle and Sam took a dozen chickens to Teegarden and got five cents a pound live. I wonder who bought them? I’m sure glad I wasn’t in the chicken business back then. How about you? Eighteen senior citizens, members of the Church of Christ, enjoyed their day out together after the church service Sunday at Bennetts Restaurant, in Roseland. Did you know that the first paper published in North Liberty was called the North Liberty Herald, which began in 1892 and lasted

Remember Naomi Williams and Edith Wood who are in Miller’s Merry Manor, Plymouth waiting to get in at Walkerton. They need our prayers along with Lola Pavey, who is very ill in her home. Dorothy Reed had the misfortune of falling so remember her also.
