Years Ago...

(Note —Information for the 10075 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 DECEMBER 7, 1898 It is presumed that Frank Kring was last Saturday impressed by reading the weather report. Any how, he telephoned the marshal at Ligonier to hunt up one, Sam Brown, and take from him a certain overcoat which Sam had taken with him on a journey to Ligonier without having resorted to the proper negotiation with the owner, it is alleged. It is supposed that the officer was instructed not to molest Sam and his girl in performing the service. Sam says he asked for the loan of the garment and received permission. He says he will now hold the coat for $2.40 cost in the premises. The teachers and students of the high school have arranged for a high grade entertainment to be given next Monday evening. The proceeds are to be used for the library.

Help needed

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: Medical researchers are searching for branches of two large area Amish/Mennonite families with dystonia. If you or a relative have any form of dystonia, like I do, you can help by contacting one of the parties listed here and providing details about your dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological condition which can include blepharospasm, torticollis (wry neck, spasmodic dysphonia, writer’s cramp or more generalized involvement of many body parts). A research team from Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City is seeking people of Amish/Mennonite descent who suffer any of these symptoms, also characterized by involuntary muscle contractions causing abnormal paralysis, abnormal blinking, neck and head pulling, distorted speech, tightness or cramping while writing, or a turning inward of the foot. Through the participation of one large affected family, originating in the Goshen area, the research team has tracked the cause of their symptoms to a gene mutation
