IN MEMORIAM One by one rink* are thinning. Thinning here, but swelling there. Over and over our hearts are filled with sadness at the loss of loved ones. This time the message said, “Nannie Arnold has gone. 1 ’ Although we have known of her serious illness of many weeks, we are never-the-less loath to part with those we love and shall miss so sorely. We grieve at our loss but find consolation in the fact that rest has come to her who so faithfully bore the burdens of her day. And now a new day has dawned for her—a day that shall never close—for there is no night there, a day that has brought joy unspeakable to her. Into this life there comes some bitter with the sweet. The sweet reflection that she has left behind a life well-spent, that the record of her life is but the postmark set to guide us to a nobler, purer life. “And thy peace shall be as the peace of the sky at even-tide. When the winds sleep, and the sound of the sea is hushed.” Nannie E. Arnold was the daughter of J. M. and Sabra E. Herod, (both now deceased.) born Sept. 4, 1868 in Floyd township near Center school house. She spent practically all of her life in Marion township where her husband was a farmer. They moved to Greencastle in the fall of 1929. She married Alonzo L. Arnold Nov. 24, 1892. To them were bom Earl H. of Farmland, Ind., Carl of Fillmore, Aaron and Lois of Greencastle. Two little daughters, Hazel and Clova died when very young. These sons and their families survive her, together with two brothers, J. W. Herod of Greencastle, Raymond Herod of Fillmore, two sisters, Mrs. Addle Coleman of Fillmore and Mrs. Grace Shank of Laketon, Ind. There are nine grandchildren and two great-granddhijdren. Mr. Arnold died July 27, 1938. Mrs. Arnold united with the Bethel Baptist church Sept. 20, 1887 and was baptized the 16th day of Oct. of that year. She afterward moved her membership to the Fillmore Christian church during the year of 1914, where she remained a true, consistent member until her death May 18, 1942. She was also a member of the Fillmore Chapter O. E. S. No. 186. The Beedhwood Pleasant Circle, Greencastle Monday Club, Marion Township Home Economics, Lailies Aid of Fillmore Christian church and Missionary Society, and a member of Section Three of the Christian church of Greencastle. Thus closes a long and useful life of 73 years, 8 months, and 14 days. A rich abundant life of love and devotion to family and friends. She leaves this world better for just having passed through. We are grateful for her friendly fellowship so beautifully typifying what Christian love can make of a life consecrated to the service of our Lord. We shall miss her gentle ministry but we thank God for having known her. “Only a step removed and that step into bliss; Our own. our dearly loved, whom here on earth we miss. Not stranded in the dark, but veiled by purest light; Each safety anchored bark now hidden from our sight. Not hushed the pleasant song that used to greet our ear, But 'mid the Angel throng, sounding more sweet and clear. Not passed away the love, so rich, so true, so pure. But perfected above and ever to endure. Only a step removed, we soon again shall meet Our own. our dearly loved, around the Savior's feet.’’

TOLL ROADS IN C OUNTY ABANDONED JUST BEFORE TURN OF THE CENTURY

There was a period in the history of Putnam county when, on some of the county’s highways, a vehicle drawn by draft animals of any kind cou^d not proceed beyond certain points without being stopped by a pole across the road which would oe raised only upon the payment of a sum of money, known as toll. The pole across the road was known as a toll gate. Sometimes those roads supposedly being of better quality than the others in the community, would be known as turnpikes. These turnpike companies were chartered by the state, they being given the privilege of erecting these toll gates on what were then known as state roads, and of collecting few from traffic, in exchange for the duty of gravelling the roads and of keeping them in good condtion. m Putnam county, it is said that these toll roads were the only ones that were Improved by the use of surfacing material, gravel being the only material available. The other roads, not thus improved, being known » “mud” roads, often impassable for vehicles. These toll roads came into existence at various dates in the county history, but appear to have passed out of existence generally during the last decade of the preceding century. There are records of annual reports made by at least some of them to the board of county commissioners. They were not profitable financially, but as a rule they appear to have paid expenses and Some of them paid dividends. The expenses were limited to the pay of the toll gate keeper, the upkeep of th toad, and the erection of a toll house, which was the residence of the gate keeper. Some of these toll houses are yet in use as residences. The house occupied by Bernard Shinn, on west Walnut road, is a former toll house, as is the house standing at the southwest corner of the intersection of the • Dunbar blacktop road with

state road 43, occupied now by Elgin Austin. Other houses used once for this purpose burned, or were taken down, for the most part. The toll “gate" was a slim sap- j ling, long enough to extend entirely j across the travelled part of the road and some five or six feet farth- | er. A post was set by the roadside opposite the toll gate house and the pole was pivoted on the top of that post, some six feet from the butt end of the pole. An open box was nailed to the butt end, in which were placed enough stones to cause the long portion of the pole to rise above vehicles’ heights, when the restraining rope, managed by the toll keeper, was released. When the "gate" was up, vehicles could be driven through. One of the principal toll roads in Putnam county appears to have been the Indianapolis, Greencastle and Wabash Turnpike or Gravel Road, which on the east of Greencastle in Putnam county was approximately our present Green-castle-Stilesville road and it left the city going west over Columbia street. On it, east of Greencastle, there was a toll gate, according to Ora A. Day, a short distance east of the present C;oss Roads school house in Marion township. At that time, however, the school house was a small structure, on the south side of the road, Mr. Day says. There was another toll gate on that road at the Tucker comer, east side of Commercial Place. A toll gate on that turnpike was located on the Columbia street road, at the cast end of the old stone wall yet in existence, just west of the Eoci Hamilton house. That house was later moved to the intersection of that road and the then new west Walnut street road. It is the present home of Bernard Shinn. The house was first bought by John Sears, remodeled, and occupied by him and his family, after being moved by him to its present location.
