Silas Perry is early settler An early Tippecanoe Township settler named Silas Perry lived on the southeast corner of the jog in the road, located on CR 650E, a short distance north of Old Road 30. A jog of this sort indicates one is crossing a township line. In laying out maps on flat paper with roads running straight north and south, it was necessary to make roads jog slightly to compensate for the curve of the earth’s surface. Perry raised carp in a small pond near his house. He had his own forge, was a skilled farmer, raised fruit and kept bees. When carp were first found in nearby lakes, some local residents blamed Perry's carp pond. An interesting bit of folklore tells that Perry wore dentures which did not fit well. He decided to make himself some new teeth using hot beeswax as the mold. The whole procedure was a disaster. The hot wax burned his mouth, got stuck in his beard and made a real mess. I nformation for this article was provided by Kip Sullivan's History Book of North Webster. Survival in the 'good old days' Dentists were infrequent circuit riders in early times. Their main function was pulling teeth as opposed to the preventative dental care people receive today. “Uncle Ike” Kuhn used to tell local youngsters about having an appointment with a traveling dentist who had tied up his horse at the school yard in North Webster. They agreed on the terms and Ike lay down in the grass with the dentist astride his chest, armed with a “turnkey” for twisting out the aching tooth. All went well, but the terms were singular. If the tooth came out okay, Ike was to tell the dentist where he had hidden a bottle of whiskey in the
weeds nearby. If the attempted extraction were unsuccessful, Ike was to kill the dentist. Even allowing for some exaggeration, surviving in the “good old days” was not for the faint of heart. Information for this article was provided by Kip Sullivans' History Book of North Webster. Homemakers enjoy carry-in dinner Lois Harris was hostess for the recent meeting and carry-in dinner of the Pierceton Extension Homemakers. There were 25 persons in attendance. Joy McGarvey asked the blessing before the meal was served. Guests present were Diane Kamberg, Evelyn Bennett and Nettie Bennett. Pledges to the American and Christian flags and the club creed were repeated in unison, and group singing was enjoyed. Ruth Menzie presided during the business session. Esther Miller gave the meditation reading from Luke 21:1-4 and Luke 30:45-47. Doris Kubacki, citizenship leader, gave the history of the American flag with changes and additions made over the years. The health and safety lesson was presented by Esther English. She reported on an article entitled “The Most Often Asked Cancer Questions, According to the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Prevention Survey. ” Margaret Wolter, Mrs. Menzie and Helen Crouch reported on highlights of the Home and Family Conference held at Purdue University in June.
