Kenneth Haney's article about the Hastings school sure made >me get out the ‘old memories' cap about the little red schoolhouse I attended in Elkhart, j We lived ‘just’ outside the city limits so my first four grades of schooling w ere in a one-room, fourgrade schoolhouse Ours, too, had the cloak room — also, a furnace as I remember K blowing up one day To complete the picture, there were two little buildings back of the schoolhouse — one for the boys and one for the girls. To designate when these buddings were in use, die user wrote ‘out’-on the blackboard and erased it when returning. ■ Guess the thing that made me most nostalgic about those days was Kenneth's mention of the asa- ? fetida bag. Truthfully thought this was some concoction my dad had dreamed up He was a person most concerned that everyone was in I good health mid worked on preventing illnesses as well as . offering treatment from his well supplied net ■ j I wore long underwear, with a j big lump where they lapped over at the ankles, long black stockings, black bloomers, high top shoes, and ; all my dresses were of a size that I was someday supposed to grow ’ into. Then of course -the dear old asafetida bag which was to keep the germs away. When a new pair of shoes was needed. I had a choice of black or brown, and we bought the* first pair tried on as dad did not want to Like up too much of the clerk's time. Never could see the reason before it, until now as I try to figure 'it (nit. if a germ ever got in my clothes, without that stinkin’ asafetida bag. I could have had my own germ city as there was no way out once one got in. For the benefit of you who do not know what asafetkla- is. the best explanation is that it smells like rotten onions with 'something rotten mixed in. The long underwear stayed on so long that I must have-been all of a week without them during each year. Must be careful not to take

To Speed Up Completion Os Interstate Hwy. System

WASHINGTON. D. C.— 1 Special — Senator Vance Hartke <D-IndJ introduced legislation today to speedup completion of . the interstate highwav system and solve the problem of mounting costs which threaten its delay. The Hartke Bill would limit the use of revenue from the highway trust fund to construction of interstate highwavs. Presently, some $1 billion of the $3.8 billion available each year for other federal highway program Senator Hartke staid bureau of public roads estimates now- show (he qserstate system-will cost $4C> 8 billion, an increase of $5.8 billion over the 1961 estimate. Since the system is on a strict “pay-as-you-go” basis, a method must be found to make up the deficit

them off too soon and must get them on at the sign of the first cool breeze. Remember one day, about 80 degrees, on my way back to school, rolled them up above my knees when I got away from home. Dad saw me and back down they came. My best girl friend, a real pretty blonde, wore half socks ‘now called knee socks' all year round. I was lucky to get to wear them just during the summer. ‘ Recesses were unsupervised piav. making up our own entertainment. Two of the boys in school seemed like giants to me. Rig Red and Howard. and they were as mean as they were big. I was the the smallest one in school. One of their favorite games was to grab me. form a circle, then throw me from the arms of one to the arms of another. They caught me most of the time, but ouch when they didn't. • A class was in session when it was called up to the bench in front of the teacher’s desk. Somehow we learned, studying while classes were being conducted in this one room 'all except Big Red and Howard who were always doing something wrong). At my father’s funeral, an elderly lady came ,up to me and said, "I know you are Kathleen, but you don't remember me. I am sure." • And I didn't. She told me she was Mrs. Smith, the teacher from the little red schoolhouse. She wanted, me to' know something my father had done for her which she was sure I didn't know During the de- j pression years, ait the same time the little red schoolhouse was con- j demned. she was left jobless and my dad was responsible for getting her "another teaching job. My father had benefacted many people 1 (not with money, as we had none, j but with kind deeds in his own quiet way. I had known only a fewof the good thinss he had (tone and" hers was not the only wonderful j story to come (Hit that day when he lay in peace from a long and painful illness i Yes.

WEEK END IN MILFORD Labi Kay and Lee Ann Hoffer of Warsaw spent last week with their Mr and Mrs. Harry F. Haab. on r 2 Milford.

There is no doubt that some new financial arrangement must be made if we are going so have funds to complete the system on schedule in 1972. Senator Hartke said. Mv bill meets that need with a minimum of readjustment. It is not its intent to reduce the support we are giving to the federal ••aid program few primary and secondary roads. The intention is merely to transfer the source of that support, in : order that the -Trust Fund may be used exclusively for the interstate system.” Senator Hartke said the non-in-terstate federal highway assistance which costs $1 billion a year should be financed by funds from the general treasury as it was before the I highway trust fund was set up in 1 1956.

Hastings History- Island Chapel Cemetery

By KENNETH HANEY 'Sixth in a series' The church and the "gravy" (grave yard l have always been in- , separable. As a child 1 couldn't quite get the connection, between “gravy” and a cemetery, you seli; dom heard the word cemetery in those days. Because of the water level the Island grave yard was located I where it is. C. R. Brittsan Henry Heightsmith, a man with a long beard, was the first undertaker in Milford. These beards were a fad or custom from Crvil War times. In 1904 Mr. Keltner and Mr. Brittsan came to Milford from Ohio | and took over the undertaking business from Mr. Heightsmith who ! moved to Michigan. They also opened a furniture j store in the Opera House block > south west corner of Main and Emeline streets 1 Because of ill health Mr. Keltner sold out to Mr. Brittsan two years later. I give • this information because Mr. Brittsan buried the majority of the Islanders in his time — as well as j those in the Milford vicinity. The pinto driving horse team or those beautiful black drivers owned I by Jap Clem, the livery man, was a familiar sight. Mr, Clem's stables were near the back of tiie Myers Ford agency. As Mr. Brittsan sat in the open beside Kis driver pulling the small black hearse, you were reminded of an j early English coachman’s picture j Many times Rev. W. E. Groves j would 'accompany and preach the, funeral sermon. . I Questions Why are people embalmed? Why are people buried, in vaults? Why did people sit up at night to watch the dead? These are questions that puzzled me. - | Using information from Mervin; and Wade Mishler I will try and pass Some information along. M . have been told people were found turned over when disinterred and some heard „a tapping after thev were buried and the corpse came alive — so embalming made them sure dead or deader. Now I'm told there is no state law requiring embalming, but it is up to. the county health officers. There is a law ; requiring burial within so many hours if not embalmed. So, it seems the reason for embalm:ng is for preservation of the body and to kill the disease germs (especially the contagious ones). The law taking embalming from the-, home and to a licensed parlor waSpassed | about 1M) "Dust thou art aid to dust thou shall return" says the Scriptures. With, this in mind it looks foolish . to put in vaults. The grave was dug by neighbors or friends ami the rough box consisting of inch or two inch oak was placed in the bottom. After the pallbearers lowered the coffin 'casket' into the box by leather straps, the top was covered with short \boards. While the grave was being closed by the pallbearers, hvmns were sung. Many times, water was trickling in the grave at die time of burial Sometimes ground hogs w xikl bring, up bones of he dead. There was ar large mound of dirt at burial time ami when the boxes and caskets decayed there was a depression- With the discovery of

'The economics of the interstate system alone necessitates its rapid completion,” Senator Hartke said. “The system now saves users some $3 billion a year in automobile wear and tear, tire use and gas mileage. When the system is complete, users will save sll billion per year. This, by coincidence, is the savings brought about in our income tax cut last year. Considering the thrust forward brought on by the tax cut, it is obvious that delay in achieving a similar savings on our highways is not economically sound.” Senator Hartke. who has asked Congress for a number of measures to reduce traffic death tolls and improve driver safety, said 8,000 lives a year will be saved when the interstate highwav system is comI pleted. •

] cement we have the _ answer The result is our level, beautiful eeme- ; teries. /' Charles Sparklin was the first maker of vaults in . the Milford community. His business was located on the W. R. Deeter farm — where 1 gravel was available. The practice of sitting with' the dead was an European custom. I am told it was to watch so rats, cats, mice, and other animals j would not harm the body. Somej times cold water, ice. etc., would jbe used for preservation Airing the night. Superstition of the dead was another reason. When embalming in a licensed place came into being the night ‘vigil" disappeared and the funeral home came into being. When death came into the community the church bell would be tolled (clapper hit on one side of bell 1 and folks would inquire who had departed. On the day of the funeral the bell would toll from the time the funeral train came into sight until the service started. ' Pennies (They were larger than the ones today) were placed on the I deceased eye lids to keep them | closed. This was done soon after death. This is where the expression (used to describe a dishonest man jeame into use—" He’d steal the pennies from a dead man's eyes.” J 1 Most of the women dressed in black 'and wore veils. The obituary was always read in the services because it I never came in : the paper until the . next week and I believe you then had !to pay for its insertion. The names of j the pallbearers were generally add- j jed. The epitaph was common on tombstones. Bad Luck It was bad kick to drive back over the Same road on the way to. the cemetery so this was avoided. It was a bad sign to rain in the grave — another one in the family would soon die. “A green Christmas and a white Easter makes fat grave yards” w-as a fearful saying Don’t be too critical! This unseas- :

onable weather caused colds, flu. etc., and with no medical know how the death rate was high. j As I said before the Island cemetery with no income but donations was covered with briars, weeds, etc., which left lit in a deplorable condition until its care and that of the. Brumbaugh cemetery were paid j by public taxation. It s a free pub- \ lie burying place. Bert . Irvine . saw the condition of Island cemetery as he looked over the fence from his farm and determihed to do something about it in the 1950’5. •Enlisting the help of relatives of the deceased, he put his bulldozer to work to push) out the brush and trees from the iiack part and leveled it off so * could be mowed-; John Kaiser gave a strip of ground so the drive way could be widened, graded, drained and graveled, so it's a public road. A well was driven, a gravel drive around the cemetery made and the drives were all enclosed with newpence. This was done by donated 'money and labor. A cemetery “fit [for a king to be buried in " "Those | who honor the dead, will respect , the living.” Among those who helped in this ' worthv project were' Enos, Ernest. Paul and Russel Hollar. Henry and Royce Biller, Rudy and Otto Stork. [ Lew Davis, Frank Chariton, Glen Pinkerton. Lawrence Dierks and ; myself. Tragedies on the Island We have had our share of sor* Irows. too. My great-grandmother [was killed by a sheep buck as she j crossed the hill one half mile south jof Gerald Charlton’s farm. Gerald McDonald was gored by a bull about 1935 and Fred Wuthrich. Sr., | met the same fate in 1921. Truly | “You can't trust a bull any farther : than you can throw him by his [tail " Mr. Wuthrich had purchased ' this white faced bull as a calf from ! Mervin Mishler about two years before. i Arthur Hall was buried beneath [a load of tile in the bottom of the Neff ditch when a temporary bridge | gave way in 1915. Berniece Spicher ' j was burned to death. .Billie Moore |and several horses were killed by rlightning just south of the old Milton Berger gravel pit about 1906. Aaron Slabaugh met death when run over by a wagon in front of the Hastings store about 192 Sr Noah Estep was run over by a car in Ohio and Mrs. Daniel Haney’s life was snuffed out by a egr (Mi a Smith Bend street A car accident caused the untimely death of DareH Kaiser on the Community Center road.

Deeter gravel pit now- the Zimmerman pit. I recall when this hill reminded you erf a Benton Harbor fruit orchard. After we had tied our horses across the road from what is now Dr. Rheinheimer’s residence we started to pick those luscious red cherries from the loaded trees. From our perch in the trees you could see the "mud” train loaded with its precious cargo and Tom Thumb engine wind its way toward the cement factory in Syracuse. It’s load of marl had been dredged from the bottom of Waubee Lake. Years later when I remember that “toot” “toot” of the choo! choo!.. as it crossed the country roads my conscience sort of pricked me. What he was trying to tell me was he was bringing me a better life. With the gravel under me and the cement he helped to make, would come concrete roads, pavements. sidewalks. foundations, vaults, huge silos and houses. Yes, lie would pull our "feet from the mud and miry clay and set us free. He would get rid of the rats by destroying board floqrs and breeding places. * Truly, I should have /saluted my choo! choo! train as he glided by. Thanks little engine for your help in making the Orn j road concrete! Years later, about 1919. a rail- | road hauled gravel from the gravel ; pit to a washing plant near the outlet to Waubee Like, The present beautiful beach and park came i from the washed sand. Several acres of lake were filled up, getting rid of the old ‘swimmin’ ’ hole, where for years the young men of the community-had enjoyed swimming in their birthday clothes.

‘DON’T BE A UTTER BUG’! Litter destroys natural beauty. Litter is costly j to remove. Litter can be deadly. Investigations directed at unexj piainable deatlis of wildlife in parks ‘and recreation areas have revealed that some refuse contains chemical properties that may be deadly. Foreign objects left as litter in outdoor areas, are fair game for the inquisitive nature of animals, and various types, of refuse has been credited with many 'untimely deaths. Polaroid-type film negatives, because of their popularity with nature lovers, present a particular hazard in outdoor . areas. To combat this increasing* problem, the Department of Natural Resources, Division of State Parks, has placed large signs at the wildlife exhibits in the State Parks, warning photog- : raphers of the manufacturer’s caution that polaroid film negatives contain a caustic jelly that is haYmful to wildlife. Because even the most innocentappearing refuse may contain harmful substances»in their chemical . composition, to protect our wildlife, all refuse should be depos- . recepticles only.
