LONG-TIME RESIDENTS {Continued from page One) in that block was th* Kern building.. William Bowld’s fither had a saloon downstair* and they lived upstairs. Dan Deeter later tore this building down and moved the lumber to the Frank Bushong farm. Dr. Violet was located next door to Bowld’s The old Kitson home, later the Kindig home, was on the present location of Ruple’s filling station. It was moved, in recent years, across Syracuse lake, and Kenneth Harkless remodelled it, . and Yecently sold it. | Miss Irene Sprague’s father died m the ljpu.se which stood next to the I>ake House. This house was moved down Main street and is the present home of Dave Dew’art. The first school house was a log one, and was located in the vicinity <»f the present grade school.- It has been plastered and made over, Mrs. Benner said, and is owned by Wm. Bowld, and occupied by the Droke family. Following this school house * a frame one was built, and when it I was torn away, half of it was made into a barn by Dr. B. F. Hoy, and • the other half is the present Kath- ' arine Rothenberger property on Huntington street. Mrs. Benner said the teacher in ‘ the log school house was Mr. , Thades, and the first in the frame j school house was Mr. Cowan. The real Syracuse school house was built in 1874, with the coming of the B. & O. through town, and it ■ was succeeded by the present Grade built in front of it in 1908. The 1874 building was recently torn down. Ed McClintic had the Elhanan Miles house moved from the front of his present home property on Huntington street, to the 10l where the Community building now stands. Mrs. Hillabold and daughter,' later Mrs. Dale Bachman lived in this house. Kitson and Gordy’s lumber company had built a house where Sam Sear fuss’s shop now stands, for Mrs. Hillabold and her daughter. This house was later moved and is now the house in which Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Montgomery make their home. Mrs. Ellen Traster bought the Hillabold house from the present community building lot, and it was moved to Main street, near the present bridge, and is the house in which “Duck” Traster and brother Ort live. The school board had bought a number of lots where Searfoss’s shop now is, which was the reason for moving the latest Hillabold house, and it was thought the school would be built there. But when put to a .ote of the town it was decided to mild the school on Main street in 1908. According to. Milt Weaver, the house in which W. M. Wilt lives in the summer, on the point, on Syracuse lake, was lived in by George Thomas, an early minister here, on a lot near where the Methodist church now stands. Ownership of his house changed often, John Weaver owning it, and later Dave Fry. In early years, Milt Weaver said that across the mill race was known its ‘Over the Rhine,” because .there was a saloon on West Boston street. When the B. A O. first came through Syracuse, the depot was on West Boston, near the Stough crossing. Huntington street was not opened as far down as the railroad. It only K went as far as Mrs. Jane Bachman’s house, because beyond this point, it was thought to be only quicksand. The way to Goshen when Mr*. Benner first moved here. was down Main street to the Dunkard church corner, then through the cemetery, which was all trees, she said, to a point on the present Huntington road near Emmett Weaver’s farm. She said later the road went up over the hill from Main street. “The Ruff ’N’ Ready” was moved to the point where Mrs. Josie Snavel iy’s brick house now later j the old building was moved to the

location of the pool room today. After being moved it became Grissom’s -barnee*- shop.- Then- the building was taken up the hill and is the house in which Lehman live*. Silas Ketring built the house . in which Will Rapp lives, on Main street. The building in which Hall had his postoffice was bought from Mrs. Benner. She said that later Sam Kindtg gave the corner where Insley’s parlor now stands, for a postoffice, and that it was located there for many years. Because it was t-hought the land beyond Mrs. Jane Bachman's home j was quicksand, the road wasn’t openred for some time. Sam Akers owned I the lot on which Joe Rapp’s house i stands, having paid $lO for it. He had 80 loads of dirt filled in there. ' and then sold the house for the sj»me $lO to Bill Miller, who had - -ine more loads filled in, and sold the lot for SIOO to Morgan Snyder. I tie continued filling the lot and sold it to Warren Rentfrow; who built on it. He didn’t dig a cellar, though. He built a wall, put his house on that, and filled dirt around the wall until it became a cellar. Silas Ketring owned the lot where' L. A. Seider’s house is, and Milt Weaver said that he hauled 400 loads of dirt one winter to fill in that lot for Ketring. Hillabold bought from .Skinner i he present Thompson farm, which from WestvMain street to he lake. Hillabold donated to the B. & O. railroad the land for a dent, and it was built at its present j location (the present freight house osed to be this passenger depot). Then Hillabold. had his addition and , Strombeck’s laid out into lots. Hilla- | b »ld owned a saw mill where th* U. B. church now stands.' When the depot was located at the luntington crossing the road was extended from Mrs. Jane Bachman’s home, to that point, and was the I <ind of road on which one drove f hrough water much of the way, 4ilt Weaver said. He said he remembers when he first drove to Conkling Hill, now Oakwood Park, w-hen he had to hold back the team all the way, as it meant weaving around stumps from he forest which had been cut down there to make a road. Weaver said the first church in Syracuse, was Methodist and services were held in the building in which Levi Kitson now lives. Mrs. Benner said she remembered going to Sunday school there. Mrs. Benner said that this church discontinued in a few years, and that a man from Goshen who owned lots on the hill gave these to the town for the onstruction of a church which would be for all sects. It is the present Church of God, but when first built, different church had different hours for their “turns” and Mrs. Benner remembers going to Sunday school in the afternoon. Weaver said the first “calaboose” or jail was located where the former Miles' property, now that of M. M. Smith stands. There was a black smith shop in charge of Nick Basney where the Sol Miller home is located. Basney shod oxen. Weaver said that John and Ed Widner had a blacksmith shop oA the hill, North Huntington street. The present feed mill was the first stock-selling scheme in Syracuse. It was built after stock in it had been sold to residents here, 50 years ago. Mrs. Benner said after her marriage to James Benner, they moved their house from in back of the present location of Insley’s beer parlor, to the lot where C. E. Brady lives. That was 65 years ago, and that is the same house. She said Yankee Mitchell had built the present Benner property on the lot where the Hursey home now stands, and they moved and remodeled the house, 33 years ago. She said most of the buildings in town when she first came here at th* age of 8, were long, narrow buildings, one story in height, except Phe bus’s two story building* which stood where Bushong’s barber shop now stands, and which burned down, burning Harve Snyder, Who could not escape. All the buildings in£h»wn and tn thr vicinity numbered 25 when Mrs. Benner’s parents arrived here, 82 years ago. UNDERGOES OPERATION. Mrs. Forest Snepp was called to Carthage, 111., Sunday, by the news that her daughter, Mrs. Mileham Timberlake was in the hospital to undergo an operation. Telegrams received by Mrs. Snepp’s mother, Mrs. Jordan, since then; state that Mrs. Timber lake is improving nicely. 0 SEASON CONTINUED Contrary to some reports, it is still legal to shoot squirrels In the northern area of Indiana. The squirrel season in this northern area is from Sept. 1, to Oct. 30. Kosciusko and Elkhart countie* are in the northern area. 0 Mr. and Mrs. J. W. R»thenberger had as their Monday evening dinner guests, Mr. and Mrs. Orren Wilcox of No. Webster, Mrs. G. P. Rothenberger of Elcho, Wis.; and Katharine Rothenberger of F‘ Wayne and Syracuse, the occasion being Mr. and Mrs. Rothenbergers first wedding anniversary and Katharine’s bi rthday.

OLD RESIDENTS (Continued from page One) Woods in 1861, and lived on the farm which ia still known as the Woods farm, on the north side of Lake Wawasee, edging on Johnson’s bay.. She too, remembers the , Indians. She taught school before she was married, and Rev. George Thomas, one of the early preachers in Syracuse', performed the marriage ceremony when she and her husband were wed. Mrs. Margaret Wehrly was Mar garet House when she came from Ohio, 71 years ago. She was married to William B. Wehrly and lived east of town. She remembers this country before the Big Four trains ran to Milford and before the B. & O. railroad went through Syracuse. Mrs. Susan Nicolai was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Fry. Mrs. Susan Fry Nicolai was born in Montgomery County, 0., Nov. 12, 1843. She came xo Elkhart county, Indiana, with her parents, w-hen she was four years old. They first lived in Benton, but only for a short time. Then her father purchased the farm now owned by Carl Stettler and Orba Bo beck, north of town near the Hex school. She Lived there with her parents until she was 19 years old, when she married Michael Nicolai, and lived on her father’s farm, all but about a year and a half when she and her husband lived on a farm near Wakarusa. They returned to the old farm home, where she lived until 15 years ago when she came to Syracuse to live with her daughter, Mrs. Fred Hinderer. Mrs. Jane Bachman, aged 91, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Miles. They came to Indiana from Ohio about two years before Mr*. Benner came with her parents, Mr. 1 and Mrs. Preston Miles. She said they rode in a covered wagon, and on reaching Fort .Wayne, roads became so nearly impassible that they left much of their equipment there, to be called for on a later trip. Levi Bachman lived at the home of her uncle, Elhanan Miles In Syracuse. When she was 20 years ' old they were married. Mr. Bachman was a carpenter, so they made their home in Syracuse. They first lived in the house Nathan Insley now lives in, and when they wanted to build a home of their own, could not obtain a clear title to a lot on that street so bought the lot and built the house in which Mrs. Bachman still lives, on Huntington andCarol streets. She said there was a fence which extended across what is now Huntington street; that was as far as the street came. Mrs. Bachman said she remembers attending school in Ohio before coming to Indiana, but after they mov<d to their farm near Solomon’s Creek, it was several years before she attended school again, apd then she came to Syracuse to school. Mrs. Bachman’s grandfather presented each of his children with 80 acres in Indiana, as wedding gifts when they were married, but Evan Miles did not come to Indiana to take up the land for several years after his marriage. Mrs. Bachman can remember her folks killing many deer on their Solomon’s Creek property; she said often they had tubs full of deer meat to eat. She can remember bringing ginseng to town to sell it for medicine, much as “The Harvester,” Gene ' Stratton-Porter’s story of an ejtrly Hoosier. She can also remember when they first moved to Indiana that the family became so ill with ague that sometimes one could not get up to get the others a drink of water.
