STORIES OF SOUTH BEND'S PIONEERS Boys Fought For Right-of-way on Old Corduroy Road When Mrs. Lucrctia Creed Went to School at Northern Indiana College, Located at End of W. Washington Av. BY DONALD H. WALK

When the old Northern Indiana college at Washington a v. and Circle s;t, was math' the rendezvous of more than a score llend. svion. Washington of youns iple of South of families which lined a., from Main st. to Ija.porte av. which avenue had i ef n wu s laid as far out as as the a part or tne u Mrs. i,ucretiu creed was a Kirl of is or 19 years. From Chestnut st. out to the college a corduroy road had Keen constructed. For the heneiit of tho.-e who miirht mt know Just what a corduroy rtad is. Mrs. Creed advances the following description: "i'rom Chestnut st. to th- college Washington hv. ran through a heavy marsh. It was lined on each side by heavy oak forests. Thfse conditions made it Imperative that some mode of transportation Le constructed, and from the forests heavy lors were bound together for a width of eisht' or nine f et t arid built otr the more swampy places. "In Home places the road was 10 or 12 feet from the Kround and in others it sank until it was only four or five feet hUh. It was over this road that wo were compelled to travel, with the alternative of taking the cowpath that wound a circuitous course to the end of the street. "We used to have some v;reat times alonii that old corduroy road. The boys used to test their strentth on the way to school by wrestling on its Hurface to discover which could remain on top the lungest. It was an honor to bo able to hold the road against all corners. The vanquished would be thrust to the edije and compelled to Jump Into the muddy water and soft ground beneath it. "We frirls did not scape similar treatment, either. We had to be very careful when we refused invitations to parties, dances, hayrides and the like. To mako a yount? man feel resentful meant that probably your next trip aJon the corduroy road would be augmented by a, muddy -water bath." Mrs. Creed was born in 18 47 four miles northwest of the city, and has lived in isouth Bend since she was one year old. At that time her father, Solomon Miller, bought the property where the .St. James Fpiscopal church now stands and built a cottage. When Mrs. Creed was but a youns sirl, her father and her uncle together purchased the tract of land at Washington av. and Chapin st., which is now owned by. the Oliver estate. It was while she lived here that

Discoverer of Fountain of Youth Among, M. 5 tudebakers Friends

J. M. Studebakcr numbers among his friends the discoverer of the fountain of perpetual youth. That man Is ). J. Stough'of .San Diego, Cab, 9 7 years old. Mr. Stough has never imparted to anyone the secret of the location of this wonderful fountain, but one is not prohibited from thawing conclusions from hii- own observations. Mr. stough is known in his homo state as the "grand old champion ocean diver of California," and the picture accompanying this sketch was taken on the occasion of his annual ocean swim Jan. 1, HUT, at San Diego. Therefore, anyone particularly loath to let go of youth or eager to recover it, miht slip slyly into the Pacific on the. San Diego shore lino on Xew Year's day each year to see if therein lies Mr. Stough"s secret. Horn on a farm near J. M. Studebaker's old home in Ashland county, Ohio. Mr. Stough has always kept in touch with his old or rather. his young friend and takes great delight in counseling Mr. Studehaker in a fatherly sort of way at tlit same time that he boasts of his own youthfulness. Mr. Stough went west in his young manhood and is now worth $5.0u0.000. He lives in a beautiful home set in a bower of palms in San Diego and ho is known far and wide in California for his philanthropic work. Hut it is neither his millions nor his philanthropy, nor his prowess as a swimmer, nor even his great age that makes Mr. Stouuh famous in San Diego. it is his wonderfully youthful spirit which is reflected in the following letter received from him by Mr. Studebakcr a few days ago: "San Diego. C.alif., Jan. 2S, l'.tl.". "My Dear J. M.: When you get readv for that trip around the world. count me in for several reasons. First, 1 want to take my auto oar to be j sure of getting there safe and sound: second, I want to bo along to look after you personally and guard you from daimer to your morals: anil third, to have a grand good time. "I was called off 2 4 hours ago by a half dozen of the handsomest girls in California who were with us and it has rained most all of the 2 4 hours. I do not know what will become of my business if 1 have my house full j of company throughout the year. Ij tell mother she will have to marry i some rich man who can pay her i taxes. She replied that she will go! first and I will have to look nut fori the care of one or more of the half dozen girls to whom I am engaged.

Mrs. Creed and her friends studied under Dominie Kvans, who lived farther out on Washington av. than any other of its inhabitants. The youn? people of the avenue trained themselves for their later studies at the college under the "dominie." Mrs. Creed's hrst teacher was Mrs. Isaac Gorsuch, mother of Wilbur F. fiorsuch, who Is also one of the cits pioneer residents. Mrs. Gorsuoh's Hjhool was in her home, next to the present Gorsuch home on W. Washington yv. "Mrs. Gorsuch was a very nice teacher, especially to me," said Mrs. Creed. "I was but live or six years old at that time and would ki'ow rather sleepy through tho tedious school hoars. The school room was equipped with lon benches as seats, and Mrs. Gorsuch, kindly soul, would ask the older girls for the shawls and jackets with which to make me a bed on one of the long desks. "I would sleep by the hour while the other students droned through their dry lessons. "Mrs. Gorsuch used to have one of the most beautiful beds of dowers 'in the city.
