Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1911 — KENTLAND RESTAURANT [ARTICLE]

KENTLAND RESTAURANT

Bought by Fortner Rensselaer Baker from J. R. Hazen of Kniman. J. R. Hazen sold his restaurant business Tuesday to W. J. Merica. of Lebanon, who immediately took possession of same. Mr. Merica is an experienced restaurant man and a baker by trade, and may install a bakery at some later date. He is a married man and will move his family and household effects here as soon as he can procure a suitable house. Mr. Hazen has not yet decided upon his plans for the future, but we trust that when he does, his plan will be such as to permit of the continuance of his residence here.—Kentland Democrat. Both the above named parties are well known in and about Rensselaer. Mr. Hazen formerly resided in Jordan tp.. and now owns a farm near Kniman, while Mr. Merica was engaged in the restaurant and bakery business in Rensselaer for several years.
