Loes 0 Pioneer Fathers Revealed by Old Records Hidden Romances Unearthed When Marriage License Records of 1811 Are Searched Early Legal Forms

Longer Than Present Ones

Old records have ,a fascination when they are searched, not for fact, but to find a story of the people that made them in the days past. The old county records running back to 1811, tell of life in the qounty more than a hundred years ago, to whoever is readyto read between the lines.

Prizes for attendance will be awarded to the township having the greatest attendance in proportion to its membership and to the Wayne county farmer with the largest family present. The picnic will begin at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning and at 12 o'clock noon the picnic dinner will be spread. The speaking program will be held in the afternoon, while the morning will be devoted to games and contests. It is expected that horseshoe pitching contests will figure a!s the major sport ermong the men and the playgrounds sit Glen Miller will be the main attraction for the children.

CARAVAN OF MASONS AND FAMILIES TO GO TO FRANKLIN HOME

Masons and their families of Richmond and vicinity will enjoy an allday outing at the Indiana Masonic home, at Franklin, Sunday, Aug. 20, tays an announcement Monday. Most of the members will make the trip by auto and a long caravan of machines is expected to make the trip to the home, which probably will be made by way of Rushville and Shelbyrville and on down to Franklin. The tcaravan will leave at 6 o'clock. Masons who are railroad employes may make the trip by train, going to

Indianapolis and thence down to "Franklin. If more members desire to go than can be accommodated in machines a special interurban car may be secured. The committee in charge, LeRoy Hodge, Clarence W. Foreman and T. lason Byer, is anxious that every iMason make the trip and requests that persons who have room in their car invite others to ride with them. Basket Dinner at ' Noon A basket dinner will be enjoyed at T.oon on the grounds of the home. The superintendent of the home will pro

vide tables and will furnish coffee v-ith plenty of cream from the home Hairy. Services will be held at 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon. A short musical program will be a feature of the services. An address will be delivered but the speaker has not been announced. Karl Wolfe, master of Webb lodge, F. and A. M., of this city. William Stokes, of Dayton, superintendent of the Montgomery county Orphans' home, and Eugene Herr, chairman of the board of trustes of the Montgomery county home, made an inspection of the Franklin home Sunday. The

Montgomery county men praised the

Indiana home highly and said that it',

was one of the finest homes they had icver seen. 1

Such was the record of the marriages of the county for some time; the names of the parties, the date, and the name of the officiating person, and the date of the marriage. One justice of the peace, with due disregard for the sacredness of the little official form that was used at that time, made his return for one

license as follows: "Is there a wretch so cold, so rude, So partial to a single life, Who could have felt no gratitude Had Heaven sent him such a wife? I do hereby certify that Samuel B. Walling and Jane Lacey were legally joined in marriage by me, on the 21st day of September, 1826. John Finley, J. P." Doesn't Mention Pay. In carefully copying the return as made, the circuit court clerk, failed to mention whether or not Justice Finley received anything extra for thus perpetuating for all time the charms of Jane Lacey.

John Finley, the trustee, was one of

Indiana s earliest poets. He was once

managing ecuior or ine Palladium, a

mayor of Richmond, and for several

terms a member of the state lezisla

ture. The little poem was written the

same year that he was married

In those early days legal forms were not paid great deference, for manv of

tne names are still after nearly a hundred years, lacking official conformation of their marriage. It is very rare for a license to be. issued these days without a return being made partially, because both parties have to apply. Perhaps it was the easy way that licenses were secured that made it possible for a young buck to get one before he proposed, and then if his pop

ping tne question did not tak, to throw away the permit. Ministers Scarce The very interesting fact that returns on the license were usually made several days after the license was issued speaks not only for that, but of the scarcity of ministers and

justices who had the authority to

marry couples.

vrnue a marriage is legal even though it is not reported, the circuit

clerk cannot certify to the fact unless a return is made to him. What

complications could develop, were some one at this time to contest a marriage really solemnized ( but not repoted. Legal forms have been accused of reflecting the mental points of view of previous generations, but the forms used for wills reflect a real change in the mental point of view of the gen erations. Instead of the formal, "J, A. B., being of sound mind and disposing mem

ory, some of the older recorded wills

bed, a dutch oven, a wheel..." The

will was dated 8th of 1st month, 1812, and was filed April 22, 1812. Old Time Method Nor can modern mayors and justices be' credited with inventing the way of fining a man a nominal fine, but making him put up a pretty penny for pleading guilty. One of the first cases recorded in district court was that of the State of Indiana against Alexander Brady charged with assault and battery. The judgment, as rendered

on Aug. 27, 1826, was itemized as fol

lows: For fine $.25. ocasts $10. total,

$10.25.

It is the inventory records, how ever, showing the lists of things owned, that give the best record of the lives of ihe people. Spinning wheels, pots and pans, spiders, cranes, are listed in profusion. Prices of most of the articles would run about the same as at present even in the days of high prices, but t good spinning wheel was listed for $2, about the same price as that given for several of the large iron pots that were in the collection.

brush and weeds. He pointed

that landowners under the Live

Fence Law in the Acts of 1921, arej charged to clear their premises where 1 live fences hinder the view of tha public on highways. This law reads that hedge fences must be cut for 100 feet on either side of a road intersection, the elevation not to exceed five feet above the center of the road. All other hedges must be trimmed to an elevation not to exceed five feet above the ground. We are not so much concerned in hedge fences away from corners as within 100 feet or so of the corners,' Mr. Hinkle says.- Maintenance men of the highway department are instructed to take this matter up with landowners. Will Ask Co-operation It is very important that the state highway department do everything in

its power to increase the safety of high way travel, officials say, and to this end all superintendent's are instructed to ask farmers who have corn planted close to curves and road intersections to harvest the crop as soon as possible. Corn possibly obstructs the road view more than any other crop, and the commission will ask landowners next year to plant a low growing crop

such as beans, tomatoes, potatoes and the like in the fields on dangerous road turns and crossings. Some landowners voluntarily took his action this year and the benefit is most noticeable to the person traveling overland by automotive power.
