FRONT STREET On the 10th day of January 1932, the Rev. Edwin Jarboe began a settee of meetings on the spot where the old South Union church house in Locke Township, Elkhart county religious meetings were held for the last 60 years. Rev. Jarboe soon found he had a house full and running over with people belonging to 14 religious denominations. The pastor hit the old rock sin with his lightest hammer, but he soon found he must hit it harder until he was swinging his heaviest hammer with all his might. At last the old rock fell apart. Public school teachers with their scholars. fathers and mothers with their children catnd out until 28 were added to the church by Christian Baptism. Fourteen years ago February came in two below zero. Shorty Marsh, 58 years old was buried in the Syra-. cuse cemetery that day.

The first hotel was built in Turkey Cteek township and was kept b) George Kirkpatrick in 1836. In 1848 James Hall bought the hotel of Sam uel Crawson and named it the Rougl and Ready house. It was built when William Rapp now lives. Then it wai moved on the southeast corner .ol Harrison and Carol streets, surround ed by hazel brush and converted inti a dwelling. The families of kid Hoi loway and Jacob Rentfrow lived it it for awhile. After while it wa; moved on the lot about where Elmet Miles’ grocery now is, and used by William Bowld Sr, as a saloon and dwelling.

Afte’ while Fred Hinderer built the hors* livery barn and operated the Kell) house for a number of years. It it now owned and operated as a shoe fixery and dwelling by AHhur Snavely. About the year 1903 Henry Sloan built the Grand Hotel where the Lake house once stood, on the northeast corner of Main and Huntington street. Henry operated this hotel for several years, then sold it to Harry and Wilma Hire. They operated it for a few years and sold it to the present owner, Seth Rowdabaugh.

BOOKS OF STORE FOR 1876 SHOW PRICES WERE HIGHER THEN

In looking over the old books of Stetler and Kindig, which he found stored in the basement of what used to be their store, but is now Bachman's, Hilary Bachman came across some interesting information. When Stetler and Kindig operated the store it was established in the building on the/corner where the Jet White is a6 w located. The books contain the names bf customers and their purchases each day. Only a few of those named in the cash book of 1876 are now alive. And many of the prices on articles ire cheaper now in 1932 than they were then “in the good old days.” Also—many "of the items mentioned then are no longer on sale. Neither Hilary nor the reporter foie the Journal knew what a “nubia” was, but Mr. Bachman stated that was later called a “fascinator," and was a muffler to be worn tied about the lead. (Not men’s heads.) Also, bustle, springs, alpaca, calico, plug tobacco, fine cut, and red flannel are among the items no longer carriedBut, back in 1876 the cash book showed no sales of bread, potatoes nor canned goods. Bread was made oy the housewives, vegetables were -anned at home. The items were such things as lard, kerosene, sugar, butter, coffee, crackers and matches. Lard in 1876 -cost 14 cents a the Thersia Doll home near Wawasee. Mrs. Milbert Bitner spent Thursiay afternoon with Irma Wilkinson and daughter. Ray Clingerman and Clyde Jones of Cromwell called at the Dora Clingerman home, Monday. . —o —— — Syracuse Enterprise February 4, 1875. H. L. Crittenden, B.

Mr. Greene of Syracuse has been off to Michigan City and other points making arrangements to establish a lumber, yard at this place in the spring. ?.
