Years ago... 100 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 6, 1897 Daniel Berkey pled guilty to allowing Canada thistles to grow on his father’s farm which he rented, and paid One and costs amounting to $15.50. His father was charged with the same offense against the dignity of the State, because he owned the land. His fine and costs amounted to $17.50. The case was appealed to the circuit court. Mrs. Permelia Witner was before the town board to protest against the violations of the sidewalk ordinance compelling residents on Main Street to put down and maintain five-foot walks. After she put down a five-foot walk, her neighbors are allowed to put down four-foot walks. The board ordered the clerk to notify Howenstein & Shively that they must take out a plummer’s license or desist from doing any further plumbing. 75 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 12, 1922 Nappanee Little Girl Has Signal Honor. Little Dorothy Price, the twelve year old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W.A. Price, had the signal honor of representing the school children of Elkhart County at the ceremonies of laying the comer stone on the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children at Indianapolis on Saturday. Because of inclement weather the ceremonies were carried out in the James Whitcomb Riley banquet room of the Claypool Hotel. Every county in the state was represented by a little girl dressed in white, each of which wrote their name and the county they represented on a small piece of parchment paper which will be deposited in the copper box in the cornerstone. The skating rink will open for the season on Saturday evening, October 14. Send your old scarfs and muffs and have all of the fur used to make one of those fashionable capes. You will be delimited.

Allows thistles to grow

Saturday was unsuccessful in bagging the wild animal at large in this vicinity. From the viewpoint of getting a large number of “hunters,” it was a success, nearly a hundred taking part. At the Loyal Stuckman farm, a three-week-old pig was killed on Thursday night. The American dollar, as all of our 140,000,000 people must have discovered by this time, has shrunk woefully as far as purchasing power is concerned. Measured in terms of the cost of most goods and services, it will do about half the work it did a few short years ago. Despite that, the world is seeking the dollar more eagerly than ever. School officials of the local grade and high school have been favorably impressed with the success of the school banking program, which has been in operation for the past three weeks. Although many school systems in the country are now making it convenient for pupils to open bank accounts at school, the system organized at the Nappanee Schools is also providing practical training for students in the high school bookkeeping course, as they act as clerks and tellers for the various home rooms, under the direction of Harvey Postma, commercial teacher. 25 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 5, 1972 City Council pays tribute to late member, Joe Stillson.
