Back in 1912, Charles Keck was the postmaster, Margurete O’Connor gave me a picture, where he is standing in the doorway starting his carriers off on their motorcycle routes. They were Earl Bettcher, Carson Weaver and Clyde Keck. Do any of you remember when these men delivered your mail?

This brings back memories to me also, but first of all, we had to go down the cellar and sprout the potatoes and how I hated that job because every once in a while we run into a lizzard or a toad and I hated those things as they gave me the creeps.

JUNE 11, 1992 - THE INDEPENDENT NEWS -

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE "Fund Raisers” Every time thst I am in town, I find a money raiser, either raffle tickets, or candy bars. The Little Leagues of both North Liberty and Walkerton are trying to raise money. The Odd Fellows and the V.F.W. are having raffles. The Friends of the Fourth and the Great Pumpkin Festivals are trying to raise money for their activities. It is remarkable that our small communities can support the many demands for money. What is forgotten is that many times the prizes could be obtained locally but are not. The coupons on the candy advertises out of area fast food places. Maybe a local restaurant or drive-in would like to work in conjunction with an organization for a money maker. Just after I finished the above paragraph, I received a telephone call asking me to mention a beauty pageant. This contest is open to all incoming freshman girls to outgoing senior girls in the John Glenn school corporation. The Queen will be available for all activities in the area. She’s already booked for the Great Pumpkin Festival. She will be chosen on July 3rd. So get on the ball and give Cindy Holtz a call, 656-3080. I understand that some handsome young men will also be needed as escorts. This sounds like a great combined effort by all of the communities. Oh to be young again I Talking about raffle tickets, I just happen to have a couple of different ones to sell. Candy bars are still available from the Friends of the Fourth. We’ve got a lot of money to raise before the Fourth of

July. A few people work very hard to put on a great show. It is done willingly and happily, but we need your money. Last Monday night I went to the sale bam to buy some steers. Roy was tied up at a meeting so I talked my buddy Dave Burket into helping me decide which ones to buy. Well I got the job done. Dave asked me what color they were. He thought that they were brown, I said they were black. We were both half right and half wrong. One is black with a white face and one is brown with a white face. For a variety of people and goods, there isn’t a better place to be on Monday night. The Walkerton Livestock Sales gets bigger and better. Now if we could find parking places. I’ll be selling you.
