Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 August 1911 — JOHN ADE’S HISTORY OF NEWTON COUNTY. [ARTICLE]

JOHN ADE’S HISTORY OF NEWTON COUNTY.

The Democrat is in receipt of complimentary copy of John Ade s history of Newton county, a handsomely bound and neatly printed book of 314 pages of in-r tering matter of a historical nature concerning the early days of Newton county. The book is dedicated to the memory of. Adaline W. Ade, Mr. Ade’s wife, who with her husband located at Morocco in 1853. Northwestern Indiana at that time was a “howling wildness,” and the development of the country from that state into one of the favored agricultural sections of the country, as told by Mr. Ade who has watched its transformation for nearly sixty years, can not help but be interesting to all the present gener# ation as well as the older people who still reside here. There is much of the early history of Jasper county —which with Newton, once formed a single county —contained in the book, and it is of like interest to the people of this county. The book is published by the Bobbs+Merrill Co., Itidianapolis, and is on sale in Rensselaer at Fendig’s drug store. Price sl.oo]
