OBITUARIES

Washington, the oldest of the townships, lies in the southwest comer of Putnam County, and is composed of Township 13 and the north half of Township 12, Range 5. It is bounded on the north by Madison Township, on the east by Warren and Cloverdale Townships, on the south by Clay and Owen Counties, and on the west by Clay County. The surface of the country in this township is rough and broken. There is a great deal of excellent bottom land along the streams, finely adapted to the cultivation of com and other grains. It was originally covered with the same character of timber as was found throughout the county, consisting principally of white oak, walnut, poplar, beech, hard ample, ash, hickory and sycamore. Among the early settlers, aow deceased, were James Athey, the first settler of the county, John Reel, John Horton, William Roberts, John M. Coleman, Thomas H. Clark, William K. Matklns, Dr. Lenox N. Knight, Abram Lewis, William Brown, George McIntosh, Randall Hutchinson, and many others too numerous to mention. The first house in the township, that of James Athey, erected in the winter of 181819, stood very near the site of Robert Huffman’s residence. The first mill in the township was that of Luther Webster. It stood on Deer Creek, about one-fourth of a mile south of Manhattan. Lloyd B. Harris kept the first hotel in the township, at Manhattan. Thomas H. Clark was the first postmaster. The first shoemaker was Thomas Lewis. The honor of carrying on the first blacksmith shop belonged to John Hooton. Esquire Busick and Athey were among the first Justices of the Peace in the township. The first church organized in the township was the Predestinarian Baptist, commony called “Hard-Shell Baptist.” It was organized at Manhattan, in the year 1828, by Rev. Isaac Denman, who continued to preach for the congregation for a period of two decades. A house of worship was built in an early day, which continued to be occupied by the original owners until the year 1862, when it was sold to the Missionary Baptists. They in turn sold It, in the year 1875, to the Methodists, who formed a congregation there about the same time. The Methodists erected a new house on the same lot, but the old one stood until pulled down in the summer of 1878, having served as a place of worship for nearly half a century. The Christian Church was established in Manhattan in the year 1838, by Elder John Harris, and It has ever since had a congregation at that place. Manhattan is the oldest villafe in the township, having been laid out in the year 1829, on the National Road, by John M. Coleman and Thomas H. Clark. The first merchant there was Wilson Devore. Dr. Lenos N. Knight was the first practictaST physician. Mrs. Judge Clark taught the first school. The first Justice of the Peace at that place was Lloyd Harris. Pleasant Garden was laid out on Section 21, in the year 1830, by John Matkins, as a rival of

Reelsville was laid out by John Reels, on the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, in the year 1852. Old ’Squire Boone, brother to Daniel Boone, once lived in a house which stood on the ground once occupied by Simeon Stoner. On the 3rd day of July, 1837, his house was struck by lightning, killing two of his children. Three years later, his wife presented him with twin boys, whom he named Tip and Tyler. Some time after that, in the same house, two of his daughters were married on the same day. Army General Rules Indonesia JAKARTA UPI — Indonesia today quietly accepted the and of the 21-year Sukarno era. Army strongman Gen. Suharto began his first day as acting president by meeting with regional governors in the capital, which was calm with troops patrolling the streets and no celebrations or mob scenes. Former President Sukarno, who for 21 years ruled Indonesia with dictatorial powers, still was residing at the presidential palace in Bogor. He no longer held any titles or any power. Suharto was sworn In as acting president Sunday following a congressional resolution that gave him the office and made Sukarno an ordinary citizen. Sukarno’s fate was in the hands of Suharto who has tried to ease his downfall to avoid civil war. In his inaugural address Suharto pledged to preserve constitutional law in Indonesia and keep the fledgling democracy in the hands of the people. Sudid not publicly criticize Sukarno, ousted for his alleged part in the abortive Communist coup in 1965. Sukarno, who built Indonesia into a nation out of a string of Dutch colonial islands, was ushered out of office without heraldry or fanfare.

Modeme’ Swingers Dance A Success The Modeme’ Swingers held their March 4 dance at the 4-H Bldg, here in Greencastle. Ted Laughrey, the club’s caller, called for the evening’s rfcembers and visitors. Inasmuch as it is tourney time, the crowd of members that attended was a mere fraction of the club. “Hoosier Hysteria” makes dents in everything. It seems basketball takes a back seat to nothing in Indiana. The appearance of the Castle Squares dances saved the day and was greatly appreciated by the Modeme’ Swingers members. There were ten visiting couples and the door prizes were won by the guests. Nothing pleased the Modeme’ Swingers more than to see the guests enjoy themselves all evening. The hall was decorated in green and white, a St. Pat’s Day theme, and all in good taste. Shamrocks, leprechauns and green and white paper decorated the food tables. Food of all descriptions filled the table and a great social hour was had by all. Phetney Baker did a tap for the enjoyment of all. She was attired in a dance costume of green and white, the costume against her long red pony tail making a striking contrast, and in keeping with St. Pat’s Day and the Irish celebration. On March 18 the Modeme’ Swingers will have Sam Greene, of Illinois, calling the tips. A TV will be provided to insure that all the basketball fans have a chance to watch the finals. Everyone is welcome. The new class of dances Is doing extremely well and seems to be enjoying learning to square dance. A hearty thank you to the members and guests for making another Modeme’ Swingers dance night a success.

—Sen. Dodd June, but the committee decided not to make a report until the entire investigation is completed. Summoned as probable witnesses were Mat Moriarty of Manchester, Conn., who managed Dodd’s re-election campaign in 1964, and Arthur Powers, first selectman mayor of Berlin, Conn. Powers served as treasurer for a 1961 testimonial dinner for Dodd in Hartford at which then Vice President Johnson was the main speaker. The affair netted Dodd $56,000. The 1961 testimonial was the first in a series of four such affairs. Dodd said he received $170,000 from them and used $140,000 of that sum to pay off campaign debts from his 1956 losing campaign and his 1958 election to the Senate. The silver-haired senator, haggard and worn from his yearlong ordeal, said the remaining $30,000 was far exceeded by the cost of public office. Although Dodd never has mentioned actual campaign contributions, the committee has investigated all money he received from 1961 through 1965, including funds earmarked for his 1964 campaign. James P. Boyd, the senator’s former administrative assistant, has charged Dodd received about $500,000 in the 1961-65 period and used only $200,000 for his campaign, keeping the rest.
