Club, Notes... WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON CLUB Members of the Wednesday Afternoon Club who met on 15 March at the home of Mrs. Elmer Stucky were presented an excellent review of the Early Christian Church, by Mrs. Noble Greene. Mrs. Greene revealed that, according to some historians, it was the resurrection of Christ, and not his actual birth, that was the true beginning of Christianity. During her review Mrs. Greene spoke of the revised edition of the Holy Bible, which has been the object of much controversey since its recent publication. She pointed out that this new edition is actually a truer replica of the first Greek version than is the Standard King James Bible with which all are lamiliar. Mrs. Fred Clark assisted Mts. Greene by singing a lovely carol signifying the world’s joy at the coming of Christ. Mrs. Paul Warner, president of the Kosciusko County Federation of clubs, spoke briefly of the various departments and their functions in federated women’s clubs, and announced that the Kosciusko County Convention will be 6 April in the Methodist Church at Milford, Reservations for the luncheon must be made by 2 April. Mrs. Fred Clark added a St. Patrick’s Day touch to the afternoon by singing the two lovely old Irish ballads. “Did Your Mother Come from Ireland” and “Galway Bay.” Mrs. Stucky closed the pleasant afternoon by the serving of delicious fudge and divinity. The next meeting will be 28 March at the home of Mrs. R. L. Budde. JUNIOR MOTHERS CLUB Junior Mothers were entertained in the- home of Mrs. Frank Hale, Monday evening, by Miss Ethel Bowser, who gave a very colorful review of the'bobk “The Love of Seven Dolls.” After a short business meeting refreshments were served by the hostess and her committee, Mrs. Wm. Stotts, Mrs. Loren Longenbaugh, and Mrs. Marise Smith. Mrs. James Hughes will be hostess for the next meeting of the club.

HISTORY , of SYRACUSE By Ronald Sharp . CHAPTER V BEGINNING OF SYRACUSE The name Syracuse means “city on the hill” and the description fits. Whether the persons who named the town did so because Syracuse is built on a hill or whether they chose the name after Syracuse, New York or Syracuse, Italy, is a matter for speculation. Crosson and Ward recorded 101 lots which made up Syracuse August 11, 1837. The town was surveyed by Christopher Lightfoot and certified by Justice of Peace C. K. Patrick. (The latter is referred to as Kirkpatrick in the Miles’ account. (However, there is no way to verify the name as the records in the courthouse are copies of the originals.) Syracuse was located in. sections five, six and seven. (The official descriptions aire: Section seven, southeast quarter and northeast southeast quarter—Section six, one-halfof east one-half southeast quarter and west one-half of northeast quarter—and section five, southwest of lot number five.) FIRST STORE The first recorded sale of lots was 1839; however, there were probably unrecorded sales before this date. Lot number 25 west of Mrs. A. L. Miller’s on Carroll street was the first lot sold. Mrs. Anna MCKriight purchased this lot. However the records show that no money exchanged hands. This sale was in 1838. William Kirkpatrick purchased the first store lots from Crosson and Ward in 1838. He bought a house and opened the first business in Syracuse—a general store. This was supposed to be situated where the liquor store and Dixie Resturant are now. Incidently, there is no recording of this transaction at the courthouse in Warsaw. But all the early histories tell of such a transaction. George Kirkpatrick opened the first public house a combination tavern and hotel on lot 64, (where Burkholders Drug store and Syracuse Hardware are now). In the same transaction he also bought the bank comer including Petits location. These were purchased in March, 1839 for $460.00. Many of the lots on the site of the present business district exchanged hands many times during the early growth of the town. In May, 1839, Andrew Wood purchased lots 52 and 54 (on the west end of the present prost office block and the present site of ’Ed Stephenson’s real estate business). Timothy Mote later bought these lots from Woods. What was constructed on these sites is a speculative question. .Joseph Cowell had a blacksmith shop here in town and William Cassidy also opened a store somewhere in the uptown district. OTHER PURCHASES Other purchases were: John Gill, Crosson’s son-in-law, acquired lots 53 and 54 from Woods and lot 64 from Kirkpatrick. William Conklin was given lot 24 by Crosson. (This was located, where Kirkwoods now live on the lake front.) William Blain bought lot number 65 where Nate’s tavern is and sold it to Jacob Kirkendall, Kirkendall also purchased lots 83 (the west half of the old grade school building site) and lots 96 and 97 (the back of the present parking lot) (note that there was no school on these lots at first). These were some of the early purchases. However, the record isn’t compplete. No doubt many lots were bought and sold more times th an,.the records indicate. History accounts mention other purchases which can’t be found in county records. In those days people probably obtained the permission of the owners (Crosson and Ward) to squat and built a cabin, moved in, pot to purchase Upland so moved out again. Tills would account for the lack of records. “If criticism had any, real power to harm, the skunk would be extinct by now.”—-Fred Allen.
