HISTORY OF SYRACUSE SETTLED IN 1835 | - ... ... I The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee, compiled by George W. Miles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 19U9: I have told you that by the census of 1880 our village was shown to have 496 people in it. And it was at a standstill, and continued practically so for the following 10 years, for the 1890 census showed it to have but 518, a gain'of 22 in a decade. For 16 or 17 years there had been

but one fraternal society in town, a lodge of about 20 faithful Masons, that met regularly in the hall over Stetler and Strieby's riore. I will tell you about' it in a future paper. And in the fall of 1889, a number of cur citizerts decided to institute a lodge of Knights of Pythias. I will not tell you here of the opposition there was in the old town to ’hese secret order among members of churches, many of'whom honestly believed that the devil hinlself presided over the secret meeting of the lodges, and that all their works were evil, so that some old churches were even rent asunder, but that is a story that belongs to an earlier

time, as much of the opposition had died out. I will tell you about it, though wheh T come'to write the history of the Masonk lodge, for it was that lodge here that had to meet this opposition, and fight for its life it. It was desired to name the new lodge after the town. But the order being founded on the story of Daman and Pythias and the tyrant Dyanisius, all of the ancient city of Syracuse, another lodge in the state had adopted the name of that city and there could not be two lodges in the state of the same name. So another had to be chosen and the name of the county was adopted.

SYRACUSE JOURNAL

I And-the number drawn was 230. The lodge was instituted on the I second’ of * October,’'" 1889, in the rooai la’ely u-ed as a cigar factory I in the rear of the offices of Attorney IJ. M. Treesh, with 22 members as . follows: ‘ Alonzo F. Bright Henry M. Stoner A. W. Strieby Benj. F. Crow Sam H. Widner H. ,P. Crockett M. J, Rippey Sheldon Harkless S. L. Ketring Dr. J. H. Bowser Abraham Hire F. S. Bachman R. J. Howard J. D. Hendrickson Geo. W. Butt A. H. Smith Ed. A. Ketring Eli Bushong Chas. V. Smith Jas. J. Brady L. P. Roberts Thos. Jensen

The first officers were: A. W. Strieby, Past Chancellor; Henry M. Stoner, Qiancellor Commander; A. F. Bright, Vice Chancellor; H. P. Crockett, Prelate; M. J. Rippey, Master of Exchequer; Sheldon Harkless, Master of Finance; Samuel H. Widner, Keeper • of Records and Seal; and Benjamin F. Crow, Master At Arms. Os these 22, four have since died, Messrs Crow, Brady, Stoner and Rippey. Eight of them still are members of the lodge—Messrs Strieby, Widner, Hire, Ketring, Harkless, Bowser, Howard and Bushong. But few meetings were held in the little room in which the lodge

I was instituted. At the beginning of i the year 1890, the upper west room jof Mr. Andrew Guy’s brick build- , ing was leased and fitted up for a ; home. Here the lodge prospered, j and shortly it rented the whole up- : per story of this building, and on ■ the east side fitted up a opera house with a stage and scenery— I the first Jhall of the kind the town j had ever had. Here many banquets and social gatherings held in the years that followed, until January, 1901, on the 6th K day of which month came the great fire that swept the north side of Main street from Huntington street west to the alley, and the lodge lost about all of its furniture and its records. Its membership then was between 40 and 50. At the time of the fire the lodge had in its treasury about 8400, and it collected as much m re i s ante on the furniture h st. The old, aba do ea M s c hll wa- ie.stti Rebecca Stetler, and in it n; were held during the summer of 1901, and then on the completion of the new Guy block, it leased upper story of it, borrowed several hundred dollars more, and fitted up its present splendid rooms and the opera house wherein all the most important meetings of the people of the town have since been held. Since then the lodge has ever been popular and prosperous Long ago it repaid its borrowed money and cleared away all its debts, and it now has a snug sum in As treasury to secure its members against want in time of need. The most memorable event in the history of the lodge is its first funeral. For three years after its organization, all was cheerfulness and merrymaking among its members, and then in the spring of 1893 Death threw his arrow into their ranks, and it struck down one of the best beloved of them in the person of Benjamin F. Crow. The loss of Mr. Crow’s flouring mill by fire had occurred shortly after, the organization of the lodge, and as his insurance was quite inadequate, the blow to him was a heavy one. And this loss, and the manly spirit with which he bore .it probably strengthened the bond of affection between him and his brothers. It was a sad concourse that wended its way to the cemetery on the old Crow farm east of Wawasee lake on that spring day "in 1893. and the scenes there enacted will remain to the end of time in the memories of all who took part in them. * SCHOOLNOTES I •— -e Mrs. Rapp, First Grade teacher, was writing words on the blackboard, asking pupils for suggested endings which she wrote such as: sing (s) (ing).

NO BILIOUSNESS FOR6 MONTHS Lady Tells How Indo-Vin Relieved Her Ailment Half a Year Ago. MRS. CLEO TAYLOR, of 1126 W. Second St., Muncie, Ind. says: “You

I usled to have these ■ bilious spells near lly ALL THE ■TIME and the he&daches lasted for DAYS. 1 took all kinds of

medicines but nothing ever really helped me. Then 1 read about IndoVin and got it, and I am thankful for the day I found this medicine.' I don’t have the bilious spells like I had before and the headaches are a thing of the past. 1 am GLAD to endorse Indo-Vin, for it has certainly given me genuine relief.” Indo-Vin is now being sold here in Syracuse, at the Thornburg Drug Store, and by all leading, druggists throughout this whole section. - ad
