Bonney ville Mills built on Little Elkhart River in 1832

By DICK COPENHAVER Guest Feature Writer When Edward William Bonney came to Elkhart County, he settled along the Little Elkhart River in a scenic area covered with wood. In 1832 he built a grist mil] on the site and dreamed of the day when the railroad would come through causing a town to materialize, possibly with the name Bonneyville. The railroad didn’t come, and the community never developed.

High School Vocation Director Dick Wysong is especially proud of this work by the students and is urging his many friends to “come on out” and see what a fine job the students have done. — o — GREGG MCCLAIN, a junior at the Culver Military Academy and son of Tom and Mary Jane McClain of the Syracuse community, is playing the lead in a play, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” on Saturday, May 19, Friday, May 25, and Friday, June 1, at Eppley Auditorium at the Academy. A handsome young man, Gregg is playing the part of Pseudolus, putting to good use the skills he learned during the past seven years at;.the Enchanted Hills Playhouse. In attendance, of course, were the McClains who have a condominium in Culver so they can be near their son. Tom is a Culver Military Academy graduate himself, having recently marked his 30th anniversary of graduation.

Bonney had other failures, too. History reveals he was a counterfeiter and fled the state to avoid prosecution. Eventually, he was offered a pardon if he would enlist in the Union Army. When Edward Bonney died in 1864. his body was brought back to his beloved Bonneyville and buried about a mile from the mill at the cemetery bearing his name.’ Today, his grist mill, known as Bonneyville Mills, is much the same as it was 150 years ago. There hasn’t been much growth, although there is a

housing development and a church on the highway nearby. The area has become an Elkhart county park, however, and the mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bonneyville Mills Park is two-and-a-half miles east of Bristol on CR 131 just one-half mile south of SR 120. The mill is the focal point of the park. It has been operating since it was built in 1832, making it the oldest continuously operating mill in the state of Indiana. The mill, built of heavy timber, draws visitors each weekend to tour the facility. The park is also popular as a place for a picnic, hike or to fish. If you would like a brochure on Bonneyville Mills, send a self-ad-dressed, stamped envelope to Elkhart County Parks and Recreation Department, 113 North Third Street, Goshen. Ind. 46526. Suit settled ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND — A centuries-old fight over ownership of the Matterhorn has finally been settled by the Swiss Supreme Court. The judges ruled that the famous 14,691-foot mountain belongs to the community of Zermatt as a whole, rather than to the families that originally settled in the region.

Summer points to camping at Indiana Lakeland Girl Scout Council’s Camp Singing Hills near Middlebury. There are established camp opportunities available to all area girls this summer. Seven one-week sessions are being offered running from June 17 through August 4. The programs are specifically geared to different age levels and skills.

Camp Mack offers rustic atmosphere

By BEN SMITH Staff Writer Camp Alexander Mack, located south of Milford about one and one-half miles east of SR 15, maintains a long tradition of offering a truly rustic atmosphere to the dozens of churches which use its facilities each year. Becky Miller, administrative assistant, says the camp, owned and operated by the Church of the Brethren, will feature a new retreat center, Wampler, this year. In addition, she says, 1985 will mark the 60th anniversity of the camp. “I was a camper here for over 10 years before going to college, graduating, and returning here to work,” Mrs. Miller adds. Camp Alexander Mack, named after the founder of the Church of the Brethren, sprawls across 212 acres, has two resident areas, two beaches and offers a wide variety of recreational pastimes such as tennis, volleyball, swimming, canoeing, softball, ping pong and nature trails. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,800 is the scene for many religious services throughout the summer and Camp Mack is noted for its church history murals by Medford D. Neher. Two lodges, which allow two camps of moderate size or one large camp, limited trailer and tent camping and outpost camping all combine to provide campers variety. The setting "is geared to offer the utmost in the way of inspiration and interest with a minimum of distraction and interruption,” states a flyer. Mrs. Miller says the camp is now operational year-round, with three winterized dwellings available: Sarah Major Hall, Ulrich House and Wampler Retreat Center. During the summer months there are and 25 fulltime employees, she says, whereas during the offGardner steps down John Gardner, founder Os Common Cause, has stepped down from the board of the citizens’ lobby but will remain as a paid consultant, the group’s president said recently.
