NORTH LIBERTY NEWS By Gladys Shoo«nan A large crowd attended the ham and bean benefit Saturday night at the Community Building for the firemen and ambulance crew. For a while Saturday will all that snow coming down, it began to to look like maybe no one would be able to get there, but it stopped snowing in the afternoon, the roads were plowed and it turned out be be a great evening. Melba Schmucker, of Archbold, Ohio, spent the weekend with Gail and Mae McDaniel. Our sympathy this week goes to Earl and Donna Bell Strang who lives between Tyner and Walkerton, who lost their son Maj. Richard Strang in that terrible airplane crash in Evansville last Thursday. He was an experienced flyer and pilot of the C-130 cargo plane that crashed into a hotel killing several others. He is survived by his wife and four children. He was only 39 and had won numerous service awards while serving our country in the Air Force. So please remember his family in your prayers, as he is going to be greatly missed by all who knew him. Our sympathy also goes to the Chester Kaley family, of Elkhart, in his loss as they were former North Liberty residents. Mrs. John Clark and Mrs. Roy Clark are two of his daughters who live here in our vicinity. So please remember them.

Harold Rust, of Greenfield, a former resident of this area, and who reads the Independent News every week, celebrated his birthday on Friday at the home of his daughter, Janet and her husband, Tom and son, Tim, who was also celebrating his birthday. So happy birthday, Harold, from all of your friends up north. We miss you. So sorry to hear about the old Ott Barber home, just off U.S. 6, south of the Roy Sheneman burning down early Sunday morning. The Walter Trent family lived there and were away. How tragic. The Barbers were my neighbors for about ten years when we lived on the Roy Sheneman property. Eugene (Pete) Price of Liberty Trail, was burned severely last Wednesday when an explosion happened. He is in the St. Joe Medical Center Burn Unit, in Fort Wayne. His address is 700 Broadway, Fort Wayne, IN 46802-9990. Please remember him in your prayers and send him a get well card as I’m sure he would be glad to hear from his friends. We all wish him a speedy recovery. Calvin and Clara Mae Kronk along with Ted and Sandy Kronk accompanied Roger and Marge Kronk to Dorr, Michigan, on Sunday where they spent the day with Dave and Debi Rose and girls, Katie and Emily. The occasion was to help Emily celebrate her fifth birthday and also Roger and Dave celebrate their birthdays. Debi baked and decorated a beautiful book birthday cake with all three names on it. They all received gifts which they opened in the afternoon before returning

home. The day was beautiful and they had little snow in Dorr, Michigan. How many of you readers remember Millard Lemert, who lived near Teegarden? He at one time had an apple and peach orchard and also at Christmas time displayed a beautiful Chirstmas scene on his front lawn and people came from everywhere to see it. At 87 he tells the history of Teegarden. In 1908, it was a bustling village, which boasted of two general stores, a saw mill, a tile factory, a kiln and a blacksmith shop. He remembered the blacksmith shop where they made wagons, grain boxes and shod horses. Across the street was a casket factory which later was turned into a machine shop, selling implements and plows. There were two tile mills, shipping tiles to New York by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad which run through Teegarden and was completed in 1874. Four passenger trains passed through. The water tank filling the locomotive was located at the grain elevator. Teegarden also had a slaughter house and stock yards where farmers would drive their hogs down the road into town. Orville Webb was a big shipper of hogs. What a sight to see. I’ll tell you more next week.
