The Powells, prior to entering the home in Greencastle had been citizens of Coatesville. Both Mr. and

Mrs. Powell were people well advanced in age and both had been in ill health for many months. Mrs. Powell is remembered here as a lady of learning, one who carried scores of books from the library, and a lady who could converse well on many subjects. She was a friendly, Christian neighbor. Services for her were held Tuesday afternoon at the Weaver Funeral Home and burial was at Greenwood where the couple buried an only child

many years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. George Masten, while driving to Madison Sunday, were involved in a brush with another car near Rushville. A car ahead of the Masten auto turned off the road and Mr. Masten failed to see the signal and hit the rear of the turning car. Some damage was done to

each car but all parties escaped

serious injury.

Harmon Hathaway was on a

business trip to Danville anc Indianapolis Monday morning. This businessman, active every day of the week, gets printing jobs from far and near because of the fact that whatever he un-

dertakes is expertly done. Mrs. Lilly Smith of Fillmore

died Monday morning after suffering an illness for several months. She was the widow of Robert Smith, a carpenter. Mrs. Smith is remembered by this writer concerning a particular occasion. On a Thanksgiving Day several years ago a lady and her daughter were hit by a westbound passenger train in Fillmore and the young child was killed. I was on the scene shortly after the accident and picked up

the child. At that moment Mrs. Smith called to me to carry the lifeless girl to her home and she made ready a cot covered with papers and the child was put there away from public view until the coroner arrived. It was a kind and thoughtful act of Mrs. Smith. She leaves two daughters and three sons. She had been for many years a member of the Fillmore

Rebekah Lodge.

Jack Bottorff has undergone 32 cobalt treatments at the Methodist Hospital and finds himself in far better health than when he started. His doctor has advised him to return to the hospital the last of April for a check-

up.

Word has been received of the extreme illness of Morris Heavin. At present he is a patient at the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Many may recall that his wife is the former Zella Garrett of Fillmore. Mrs. Emma Sullivan reports that word came this week from Bowling Green, Ohio, saying that Mrs. Verna Greenlee had suffered a light stroke and was in a city hospital. Mrs. Greenlee has for several years made her home in Coatesville and this winter had been staying with one of her daughters in the Ohio city. The garden fever has hit at least two citizens, Mrs. Elston Herrin and Maurice (Tubby) Wingler. Mrs. Herrin has had six rows of peas planted now for more than a week and Thursday afternoon Wingler had his garden tractor tearing up ground for some early planting. A story is being told by a neighbor of Mrs. Herrin that while raking his yard he kept hearing a sound like a cap pistol firing and so he crossed an adjoining lot to find out what was going on. He discovered it was the peas sprouting with a bang all up and down the rows. He said it made him think of the bombardment of old Fort Sumpter. It looks as if spring were here with the maple trees in bloom, magnolia buds showing pink and rhubarb four inches high. Do you remember that Kin Hubbard once said, “A good way to fix rhubarb was to pour gasoline on the roots.” It is always exciting as well as pleasing to all concerned when a new member comes into the family. The excitement of a new baby came this week to Mr. and Mrs. Larry Pickens of Cloverdale, R.R. The name of the new boy is Brian Allen. Since this newcomer is a kinsman of this writer I will have to interview soon. The local library is now purchasing some books that it hopes will entice the men to read. One of such books is entitled “My Life in Court” by Louis Nizer. This is an exciting narrative from cover to cover and a masterly told story of some famous court cases in which Mr. Nizer has been an outstanding attorney. Two chapters are taken with the Quentin Reynolds, Westbrook Pegler libel case and the Billy Rose and John Astor divorce case. These clearly written episodes keep a reader interested to the final word. Are you a lover of mush or grits. Here is a new wrinkle gleaned from a book about an old couple in northern Indiana. When Grandma made a kettle of mush she always broke and stirred into it while cooking a couple of eggs. Come to think of it, the eggs could do no harm and might make a richer and better mush. The town’s fire department got an urgent call around 5:30 Saturday evening and made a run to the south edge of town only to find on arrival that the blaze was under control.
