Clarence Vestal, born in Cloverdale but a- resident of Greencastle many years, is the son of the late William B. Vestal, former sheriff of the county and, in his time, one of the most widely known men of the county. He was sheriff at the time of the opening of the store which is now known as “Cannon’s.” Clarence Vestal, this week, recalled the opening of that place of business and recalled Frank Cannon himself, with vividness. Clarence Vestal entered the livery stable business for himself in April, 1892. and his stories of happenings in that connection cannot be duplicated now because livery stables and their hardy driving horses are known no more. Mr. Vestal’s principal income in that business was from travelling salesmen, who rented rigs and drivers to visit their customers in the towns of the county, or even to go to the so-called “South End," of Greencastle, which was one of the busiest sections of the city in that day. Students and professors also contributed heavily to the Vestal income.

“The law school was running then, out at the college and Hufth Hadley and Frank Ritter were among my best custom 0(3. Also, Dr. Hugh Baldrich. The students drove to Cataract to spend the day and would return to Cloverdale for supper. I once rented a horse and buggy to a student to take his girl to Eel river for the day and supper at Cloverdale, and I waited at the stable all night for them to get back but they didn’t get in until long after daylight. I asked the boy where in heck he had been all night. He told me. He said they had started out of Cloverdale aH right, and on time, but he got lost almost at once and had to let the horse pick the road. Along toward daylight the horse stopped at a farm house. “I went in." said the boy, “and asked where I was. The man told me I was south of Belle Union. He told me." continued the boy, "that the horse knew where he was all right, because he had sold the horse to Vestal a month ago and all the horse did was to go back home.’’ Mr Vestal said lie nad as high as 27 rigs a day at Cataract for student picnics.
