All those i YEARS AGO 100 YEARS AGO September 8,1916 By reason of the regular Monday evening session of the town board of trustees falling on a legal holiday, the regular meeting will be held sometime during the week when matters of importance will be considered. The tax levy will be made for the first time from a budget, as prescribed by the state board of accounts, the forms having been received by Gerk Kizer. There is a possibility that the previous levy may be reduced. A number of sidewalks are going to be given consideration, also a sewer that is wanted by residents of East Centennial street. A meeting of the business men will soon be held with the board to consider the park lighting system for the business and residence districts. There is much sentiment in favor of this now.

Announcement is made that J.E. Smith & Son, Ford dealers in Elkhart will establish a branch salesroom and service station in Nappanee about September 15th. Territory that will be covered by this firm consists of Scott and Jefferson townships in Kosciusko county, and Locke, Union, Olive, Harrison, Concord, Baugo, Geveland, Osolo, Washington, and York townships in Elkhart county, and the two east miles in Madison township St. Joe county. There will be several salesmen working out of Nappanee. The firm will occupy the Wisler room adjoining the practice. 75 YEARS AGO September 11,1941 William Miller, 601 West Walnut street, now kept confined much of the time to his home because of an impairment in his sight, has a story to tell which he does in a way it makes one wonder at the part he played in the bringing of Nappanee from a city of a few homes and a store or two to its present size. For over fifty years, he played an important part in the business life of this community, only giving up his work when his eyes failed him. It is still an ordinary day matter to see him making his way about the city, feeling with his cane, and very few times finding himself lost, usually this being the case when some change is made along the city streets which causes him to miss familiar objects to the touch. September 18th will be Mr. Miller's 87th birthday. He is in excellent physical condition for one of that age, gets around actively, and enjoys visiting with his friends. Martin Middleton, driver for the Southern Express trucking company, fortunately escaped with only very minor injuries Saturday morning when the truck he was driving turned over and was almost completely demolished three miles west of Nappanee on U.S. 6. The truck turned over after colliding with a car driven by Ira Roath of Etna Green. Roath attempted to make a left hand turn at the same time the truck driver tried to pass his car. Both machines were driving west at the time. The truck was loaded with ten ton of electric motors and the cargo was valued at SIO,OOO, according to insurance adjusters who investigated the crash. 50 YEARS AGO September 8,1966 Nappanee police apprehended four 18 year old boys on Tuesday on possible charges of malicious trespassing and theft. The youths had been on a one week spree of throwing eggs, tomatoes, and watermelon at parked cars, passing cars and trucks, bicycle riders, and even the police car while it was parked. They confessed also to stretching a rope across County Road 3 north of the junction with County Road 52 and to breaking farmhouse windows. From a vantage point at the Baltimore and Ohio viaduct west of Nappanee, they pelted semi-trucks and Amish buggies with the eggs and tomatoes. A full-blooded Seneca Indian who is one of the nation's top bowlers will blaze the trail into Nappanee Thursday and Friday of this week. Brunswick star Chief Halftown, also a popular Philadelphia TV star, is scheduled to appear at Gold Crown Lanes. According to Arthur "Red" Weber, owner of Gold Crown Lanes, the Chief is in town to conduct bowling "pow wows" with the young bowlers of the Nappanee area. He has traveled thousands of miles in helping thousands of youngsters learn to enjoy the fun of bowling. 25 YEARS AGO September 11,1991 On the school board agenda of the Monday evening meeting, was the task of interviewing six reputable candidates to replace Roy Borkholder. Borkholder was unable to finish his term due to job relocation. Only one woman, Karen Berger, attended as a candidate. The five male nominees were Dr. Paul Dieterlen, James LaTour, John Mishler, Rick Persing, and Terry Weldy. The applicants were asked to fill out questionnaires ahead of time, turn them into the board and then present their responses orally at the meeting as Board member Laura Zell called on them. Among the topics of interest were their individual backgrounds as well as their personal involvements with the school system. The debate over the Hartman-Madison Historic District continued at the Nappanee Common Council meeting held Tuesday evening. Residents of the area, members of the Historic Commission, and council members voiced concerns over benefits to the neighborhood, city and property owners. Some wanted to know if the guidelines would be so strict that they might hinder the value of their home, either now or in a resale. Also addressed were the wishes of residents who may want the choice or not of being a part of district. In response to a petition presented by the residents, Mayor Callander presented what he felt to be the fairest solution. He suggested notifying each of the property owners who would be affected by way' of a written letter, giving them the option to withdraw from the district . sktW,i U n’-
