NORTH LIBERTY By Gladys Sheneman Dave, Pam and Sarah Craft journeyed to Murray, Kentucky to celebrate the 90th birthday of Mr. Willard Alford. They had a wonderful time visiting with old and new friends. Just received a note of thanks from Kim McDanell, of Phoenix, Arizona, who wrote to tell me how much she looks forward to reading my news each week and to keep up on what is going on in her hometown, North Liberty. So thanks, Kim, you made my day and I called your mother, Carolyn Dunnuck for you. Remember Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. the musical ensemble “Day Spring” from Lincoln Christian College will be presenting a concert at the Church of Christ. You are welcome. Have you ever visited the Round Barn Museum near Rochester? 1 was there last Friday afternoon and found it worthwhile to visit. It is free admission, open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The first round barn was built by Shakers in Massachuttes in the early 1800 s. Some say they were copied from the round houses used by the railroads to turn their engines around. Do any of you remember the round house in North Liberty? They were designed as dairy barns, having the cows all face the center which saved the farmers steps when feeding. There used to be 16 round barns in Fulton County but now they only have 9 and still remain the round barn capital of the world. There is much to see that will brin^back memories as you visit the museum and barn. The Mishler family cousins and their families met at the Wolff Building in the park at Shipshewana Sunday with about sixty present to enjoy a bountiful dinner together. Lavone Sattlemyer and her sister, Elenora Beachy were the hosts. They all enjoyed a program in the afternoon and will meet again in 1996. The Schmeltz family reunion was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Wood on Thorn Road near Walkerton. Thirty-five members came to enjoy the day. The weather was perfect and they had a lovely place for a family reunion. A potluck dinner was enjoyed by all at 1:00 p.m. and then Donna Wood, secretary, read the minutes and she was voted in for secretary for next year and it was also voted to hold the reunion there again. Gladys Sheneman gave a reading and told how nice it was to visit at that home again because as a child she ate dinner at that house when her folks, Chester and Gara Thayer, would be guests of Curt and Betty Rambsy. Also later on Wilbur and Hazel Flowers lived there and we would visit them and I remember when the house caught on fire and a lot of damage was done. Then later on, Robert Schmeltz bought the place and lived there till he died. So I have many fond memories of that home SALYER REALTY BRUCE SALYER Broker-Appraiser 586-7753 MLS MEMBER SOUTH BEND-MISHAWAKA AND MARSHALL COUNTY 44s 1
