Years ago... (Information for the 100-75 and 50-years ago segments has been researched and posted by Mary Knobel. The Advance-News staff wishes to thank her for her contribution to the column) 100 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 20, 1895 Old gentleman Brier, whose figure is familiar to the people of Nappanee, met with a distressing accident on Friday last. He picked up a bottle of what he supposed to contain Lehman’s cough balsam and took a liberal dose, but it proved to be carbolic acid. His throat was badly burned, and for several days it was impossible for him to swallow any substance. He is now getting well as rapidly as circumstances would admit of. The divorce getter no longer has a snap in the Elkhart circuit court. In fact he will soon find his occupation gone, for Judge Wilson reiterated from the bench this morning what he said some time ago, viz: that the divorce practice of Indiana is to lax and the proof required to secure a legal separation should be increased. Heretofore all that was necessary to be made was abandonment and failure to provide for a period of two years. Judge Wilson is pronounced in his ruling and will grant no more divorces unless there is good grounds. Barth Fields, a young man about 18 years of age who has been in the employ of John Zeiger, fell from the haymow and broke his neck. His head struck on a wagon tongue. The funeral took place Monday.
