More Walkerton History From The Historical Society The following is an account of an interview by the Walkerton Historical Society with Mildred Bierly. Mrs. Bierly, who resided on the Plymouth-LaPorte Trail in Johnson Township, LaPorte County in 1988.) Mildred (Balsbaugh) Bierly was boro in Peru, Indiana where her father, Elmer, worked in the early 1900’s for the Wallace Circus as a helper with the animals in the barns. In her early years Mildred lived on the John Henry farm, later becoming the Brook Bowers farm and now (1988) the Ron Bellinger farm. At the time Mildred lived there, the house was over 100 years old. W.W. Bierly (father-in-law of Mildred) lived on the same farm when Russell (Mildred’s husband) was young. Mildred and Russell were married on this farm in 1925. As a young girl of 14, Mildred worked for George and Belle (Seitz) Mechling as a hired girl, living at the Mechling's for her board and room and SI.OO per day. She got paid once a week and gave the money to her parents. There were always many hired men for the meals, with some living with the Meehl ings. Rememberances—Belle Mechling cut her finger while canning. Mildred made a poultice of flax seed, boric acid powder and water which resulted in removing the infection. The Mechling daughter, Anna (later Anna Steele) was teaching school at the time and was most appreciative of Mildred for the care given to Belle. George Mechling, Aaron Seitz and sons George and David Seitz, contracted land for the raising of onions. The DeMunck and Wiltfong land near Fish Lake was sometimes contracted for the raising of onions. Joe Manghelli was a wealthy man who had storage building for the onions raised in the Walkerton area. Fred Wolfe (father of Otis Wolfe and Ruby Wolfe Schultz) drove a horse drawn bus to the Dare School. In the winter a wagon sleigh would be used with straw to sit upon. The pay was little. Margaret Hinkle was a teacher at the Dare School and her husband worked at the pickle factory. Margaret went to 16 weeks of school at Normal School and was qualified to teach. This was around 1921. Closer to town area Russell Bierly raised onions in the field where the old Water Works now stands. BETTER HOMES EXTENSION CLUB MEETS The Better Homes Club met in the home of Vi Masterman February 28. The president, Norma Eddinger, conducted the business meeting. After the pledge to our flag and the club creed, roll call was answered with one new conservation measure that you practice. Secretary’s minutes were read by Mary Hahn and the treasurer’s report was given by Nancy Stickley. International Day will be March 16 in the Greenfield Case Hershburgh Center at 6:30 p.m. Five have registered to go from our club. The theme for the evening is the Irish. We were sad to have lost a long time member of the Extension Homemakers Gub, Martha Mull. A memorial donation will be sent to the United Methodist Church in her
memory. The Citizenship report was given by Mary Hahn on our changing cleaning lifestyles and the school bus bill the Indiana Senate passed. The Cultural Arts report was given by Alice Walker. She told the story of a farmer that puts on a clown outfit and entertains when a days work brings stress and a grumpy attitude. It changes his mood in a hurry. Our program for the evening was Fern Hostetler. She brought the foreign exchange student who is living with them and attending John Glenn High School. Hector is from Spain. Chad Hostetler, her son and a senior at John Glenn, also came. All three shared many interesting comments of what life is like living together and learning about each others cultures. Our March meeting will be at Evelyn Eddinger’s home. The hostess served delicious refreshments to close a most wonderful and interesting evening. R.E.A.L. SERVICES NEWS WALKERTON Monday Harold Schweder welcomed everyone and took care of the books while Hazel told us some short stories and jokes. A man passed her on a bicycle, another many passed her on a scooter, another man passed her on a horse. Do you know which one knew the girl? (The horseman knew her.) Tuesday Dorothy Taylor, our new gal from Kentucky, had the program. She talked about different events in her life and sang "Beautiful Beautiful Brown Eyes”. What a program we had. Come and hear this gal, she's good! Wednesday we had two tax ladies here to help everyone that wanted help with their taxes. Jessie Schaeffer had the program with some short stories from 'Over The Back Fence”. Where's the stork. A little boy was walking home from school with a little girl and was overheard to say, "I know something that you don't know 1 know how to get a baby. The boy continued, first you pack a suitcase and put it in your car. Then sometime, usually late at night, you take off in your car and drive like crazy so that a cop stops you. The cop gives you a ticket and you take this to the hospital and they give you a baby for the ticket and that's the truth! Thursday Mr. Gwin talked about the president and the white house. Juice winners were Woody Cochran and Carl Smith. Friday we had our regular sing-a-long with Verice Walz at the piano and Evedene Platz leading the singing. 4-H VETERINARY SCIENCE PROJECT Enrollment is being taken for the 1994 St. Joseph County 4-H Veterinary Science Program.
