Looking back... Center filled with history

by Mary K. Knobel Next to the toy display is the heart of the archives room of the Heritage Center. Two large legal size files contain hundreds of pictures of people, businesses, factories, employees, employers, clubs, civic organizations, disasters, World Wars I and 11, entertainments, schools and sports from early Nappanee to the present. Already I have thought of a few more catagories of pictures not in the previous sentence--churches, artists, cartooncrs, writers, fraternal organizations, the library. At least the two lists should give you some idea of the magnitude of the picture and records collection. These are all labeled and catalogued and almost all individuals pictured are identified. There are several other files to help the researcher of genealogy or family history, or just the curious. There are two sorts of wedding and obituary files. One is a card file which refers the researcher to a certain date and page in one of the bound copies of the Nappanee Advance News. This is still incomplete but is worked on by volunteers and a tremendous amount has been accomplished in the past year. The next step is to gel all the little slips of paper typed onto the file cards and put in alphabetical order. That will probably take at least another year. The second wedding file is made up

Folks in Roeder’s Bakery became acquainted with Tom Ward, candidate for U.S. Congress last week. Ward and former 2nd District Congressman Floyd Fithian made a stop in town to promote Ward’s candidacy.

Sheriff candidate holds press conference

Nelson Stutsman, Democratic candidate for Elkhart County Sheriff, held a press conference last week at Democratic Headquarters in Elkhart. At the conference, he questioned the present practice of using inmate labor and the public’s tax dollars for the sheriff’s personal gain. ‘ * I offer to the voters of Elkhart County an opportunity to help me bring those practices to an end,” he stated. Stutsman’s statement centered around his report that the county

of clippings mounted on 5x7 cards and filed alphabetically by the name of the groom. A smaller file of 3x5 cards accompanies it containing the cross-file by names of the bride. These wedding accounts start at about 1940. Another two file boxes of 4x6 contain clippings and funeral home folders of obituaries. These smaller specialized files are on top of the card catalogue drawers. The student working on a social studies paper may find a “gold mine” in the archives room. Here in the Heritage Book collection are children’s books of the ’2o’s and ’3o’s, biographies of prominent people of the past, many written during their lifetimes or shortly after, and older editions of great literature. Almost all of these books are now out of print and not circulated often enough for the main library. A number of them were at some time given as memorials after the death of Nappanee residents. Just to your left, if you enter from the stairway, is a large and excellent collection of books on the history of Nappanee area, Elkhart County and St. Joseph County, and the state of Indiana. I recognized many of those on Indiana as ones very helpful to me several years ago when I was taking a course in Indiana history by correspondence from Indiana University. Newer books on Indiana are to be found in the main library. I know I promised there would be no more about the military exhibits. However, the October Ist column

receives 85 cents per meal for inmates, and the fact that monies remaining from the meals are “put into the sheriffs pocket.” In closing the conference, Stutsman reported that the sheriff had stated that crime is up 40 percent during the last six years. “It is time for a change, and my opponent offers no change, only a continuing of business as usual,” Stutsman said. “I urge the voting public to vote on November 4, and help me make the changes we all need and want.”

brought in many items that deserve mention before this series of articles ends next week. We now have two Viet Nam uniforms. A full dress Army Infantry uniform was donated by Don Berger. On it are several of the medals Don won for markmanship. The second is Ira Clayton Young’s. It is also Army Infantry and was brought in by his mother, Mary Young. During the Viet Nam War Clayton was stationed in Germany and now lives in Lafayette. The Center now has a servicewoman’s Army Air Force World War II Lieutenant uniform belonging to Barbara Stalnaker. Her shoulder patch stands for Medical Department, Hospital Dietician. Dave Stalnaker’s Air Force Lieutenant’s uniform is the Air Force Blue of the Korean War but he was in the Army Air Force in World War II also. Barbara’s uniform was the one she wore in 1944 when she and Dave were married in Roswell, New Mexico, where he was stationed at the time. In 1951 he was called back into service in the Korean War for the Air Force which had been made a separate branch of the military in 1947. The Stalnaker family has also donated five medals awarded to the late Cecil E. Stalnaker. The Center is happy to have all these acquisitions and we thank the donors. I want, also, to thank on behalf of myself and the Nappanee Heritage Center, Don Cleveland, who has dry cleaned a number of the uniforms and other garments for us.
