HISTORICAL TRIVIA 1936-1940 Fulton County, Indiana HISTORICAL TRIVIA 1936-1940 Fulton County, Indiana From The Rochester News-Sentinel Selected, copied and indexed by Wendell C. Tombaugh Special thanks to Jack K. Overmyer for suggesting the Title.. = = = = = = = = = = = BURTNETT, EARL Popular Orchestra Leader Died The News-Sentinel, Jan. 3, 1936 Earl Burtnett, popular orchestra leader, died in a Chicago hospital yesterday from peritonitis, which developed after an emergency operation for appendicitis. Burtnett’s home was in Harrisburg, Pa. He had composed a number of songs. Burtnett lead his band at the Colonial Hotel and Gardens during a dance several years ago. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION Class at Richland Center The News-Sentinel, Jan. 3, 1936 The Adult Educational class meeting next Monday evening at 7:00 o’clock in the Richland Center School building will study the possibilities of securing local rural electrification. These meetings are held each Monday evening and are sponsored by the State. There is no charge. The farm families of both Fulton and Marshall counties are invited. MEAT MARKET EQUIPMENT Purchased by Dale Bibler at Kewanna The News-Sentinel, Jan. 4, 1936 Dale Bibler, of Fulton, and a former resident of Kewanna, has purchased the meat market equipment in a store located at Kewanna from Woodson Nelson and has moved the equipment to Fulton. (1) BURTON METHODIST CHURCH Will Have Electric Lights The News-Sentinel, Jan. 4, 1936 Members of Burton Methodist Church west of this city are equipping the church with an electric light and power plant. BURKETT, LYMAN COUNTY SURVEYOR Named Highway Supt. The News-Sentinel, Jan. 7, 1936 The Fulton County commissioners at their meeting today named Lyman Burkett, county surveyor, as county highway superintendent for the coming year. The commissioners decided to combine the office of highway superintendent and surveyor as is permissible under a law which was passed by the 1935 legislature. ROSS, WALTER Eulogy in Delco Doings The News-Sentinel, Jan. 7, 1936 The Delco Doings, a weekly paper published by the employees of the Delco plant at Dayton, Ohio, had the following comment to make on the death of Walter Ross, former resident of this city, who died in a hospital at Dayton, Ohio several weeks ago. “Fighting to the last like the brave campaigner he has been throughout life, Walter Ross passed on to his eternal reward Friday, December 20. There were few if any harder working, more conscientious leaders of men and the loss of Walter will be keenly felt throughout the plant. “Mr. Ross came to Delco Remy in 1923 and was transferred to Delco Products in the fall of 1927. Shortly after his transfer he was Assistant Chief Inspector for the position he held at the time of his death.” A picture of Mr. Ross preceded the comment on his life CLAYBURN & PERSCHBACHER Lease Standard Filling Station The News-Sentinel, Jan. 9, 1936 The Standard Filling Station located at the (SW) corner of Main and 3rd streets has been leased by E.L. (Peck) Clayburn and Miles Perschbacher. The new lessees will continue to carry a most complete line of Standard Oil Co. Products as well as motoring accessories. (2) WELLMAN, WILLIS Locates Sisters Lost Since 1894 The News-Sentinel, Jan. 11, 1936 Willis Wellman, wealthy farmer, living north of Delong, has left for New Orleans where he will meet one of his two sisters whom he has not seen or had any trace of since 1894. From New Orleans he will go to Miami where another is living. Until recently, when he by chance found a brother in Detroit, Mr. Wellman, the eldest, had not seen any member of his family since they separated, when their parents passed away. Sixteen years old then, Wellman was the eldest of the family and was permitted to shift for himself. HISTORIC TREE Taken From Gettysburg Battle Field The News-Sentinel, Jan. 15, 1936 Probably few, if any of the students or faculty of the Rochester schools, know that on the campus to the south-east of the Central school building stands a tree of historic interest. About the year 1890 when Miss Hermie Rees made a trip to Pennsylvania with her grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. C. Hoover, who formerly lived near Gettysburg, and while on a visit to that famous battle-field at a point known as “Devil’s Den,” near “Little Round Top,” she pulled up a little cedar tree from possibly eighteen inches in heaght. She brought it home in her trunk, and with her father she took it to the Central school building and planted it on a spot selected by the late James F. Scull, then superintendent of the city schools. Miss Hermie carried water and cared for the little tree in this location. Since then it has grown some twelve or fifteen feet tall and will be a source of supply of the sprigs of evergreen for Decoration days and funerals of those grand old boys who wore the blue during the trying days of ‘61 to ‘65. One worthy old veteran still remains to relate the deeds done in this bloody battle of Gettysburg. This is Mr. Jacob Fogle of Rochester, Indiana. All the others who fought so valiantly and courageously in this same battle have gone to a more peaceful home. Many others are still living who have fought in the Civil War, some of whom perhaps have seen the former home of this little tree. So now, we the class of 1915, ask that the students of the Rochester schools see to it that the tree is properly preserved, that it may stand as a monument of the bloody days of July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, (3) 1864, on that historic battleground. -- From “Manitou Ripples” 1915. MOORE, LEVI P. Vice-President, Indiana Livestock Breeders Assn. The News-Sentinel, Jan. 16, 1936 Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 16, (UP) -- Levi P. Moore, Rochester, was elected vice-president of the Indiana Livestock Breeders Assn. during a meeting of the organization here, yesterday. KING’S JESTERS Marjorie Whitney featured singer The News-Sentinel, Jan. 16, 1936 An attractive four-column illustration, depicting the King’s Jesters and their newly acquainted hot-cha, contralco songbird, Miss Marjorie Whitney, of Lincoln, Neb., was featured in the Sunday edition of the Detroit Times. The King’s Jesters, comprised of the little contralto, John Ravencroft, Francis Bastow, George Howard and Ray McDermott, are broadcasting daily at the Hotel Morrison in Chicago and also over the NBC. The Jesters engaged the Miss Whitney when they heard her in person with an orchestra in Louisville, Ky., a few weeks ago. DOVICHI RECREATION PARLOR Sold to Marvin Metz The News-Sentinel, Jan. 28, 1936 Marvin Metz today purchased the Dovichi Recreation Parlor at 711 Main Street and has taken possession. In the future the parlor will be operated under the name of the Manitou Club. Mr. Metz has closed his billiard room at 122 East Eighth street. PLANK & SON SERVICE STATION Doubled in Size The News-Sentinel, Jan. 28, 1936 Don Plank & Son have completed a new addition to their service station at 918-920 Main Street, and now operate there a fully equipped battery and tire shop. The new addition is 14 by 20 feet, which doubles the size of the original building. The building is constructed of cement blocks. The station is equipped with the latest up-to-date Westinghouse Brake Down Tester and charger and necessary battery and tire tool. (4) DENISTON, A.L. To Remodel Book Store Building The News-Sentinel, Jan. 31, 1936 Another Rochester business building is soon to undergo complete modernization it was disclosed today. The building is that now occupied by the A.L. Carter Book Store, which is situated on the west side of the public square, and is the property of A.L. Deniston, of this city. A new rough-faced brick front will be installed and a modern apartment will be built in the rear section of the second floor of the structure. Two large rooms will be arranged in the front portion of the upstairs, these will be occupied by the Marinello Beauty Shop. According to a statement made today by Mr. Deniston, the entire secnd floor will be completely remodeled, the ceiling is also to be lowered and three new low-type windows will be installed. Likewise, the hall- way on both sides is to be improved and both interior and exterior of the building will be re-decorated. BROOKS, GEORGE W. Has 250 grandchildren The News-Sentinel, Feb. 1, 1936 Unusual to say the least is the family record of George W. Brooks, 92, one of Fulton County’s few remaining Civil War veterans, who lives at Disko. Consider these facts and then marvel: he is the father of five children, three of whom survive; the grandfather of 37 children; the great-grandfather of 107, and the great-great-grandfather of six. JAIL BREAK, FIRST Lost Key Found - Now in Safe Place The News-Sentinel, Feb. 5, 1936 In the cornerstone of the new federal building of Rochester is deposited a large wrought-iron key, which, if it were animated, could open the door to many a stirring pioneer memory. It is the key which locked, or unlocked (which ever you prefer) the door of the first Fulton County jail. This was a two-story structure built of hewn logs 16x16 feet in dimension. The building stood midway between what is now Madison and Monroe streets, due east of the court house. Entrance was from an outside stairway which opened into the upper room. (5) The lower floor was the cell, which was lighted by windows made secure by heavy iron bars.

  • Art on Mars: a Foundation for Exoart
    THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA AUSTRALIA by TREVOR JOHN RODWELL Bachelor of Design (Hons), University of South Australia Graduate Diploma (Business Enterprise), The University of Adelaide ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART May 2011 ABSTRACT ART ON MARS: A FOUNDATION FOR EXOART It could be claimed that human space exploration started when the former Soviet Union (USSR) launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into Earth orbit on 12 April 1961. Since that time there have been numerous human space missions taking American astronauts to the Moon and international crews to orbiting space stations. Several space agencies are now working towards the next major space objective which is to send astronauts to Mars. This will undoubtedly be the most complex and far-reaching human space mission ever undertaken. Because of its large scale and potentially high cost it is inevitable that such a mission will be an international collaborative venture with a profile that will be world- wide. Although science, technology and engineering have made considerable contributions to human space missions and will be very much involved with a human Mars mission, there has been scant regard for artistic and cultural involvement in these missions. Space agencies have, however, realised the influence of public perception on space funding outcomes and for some time have strived to engage the public in these space missions. This has provided an opportunity for an art and cultural involvement, but there is a problem for art engaging with space missions as currently there is no artform specific to understanding and tackling the issues of art beyond our planet.

  • 10, 2016, Phoenix, Arizona, USA 1 Millennial Time Capsules As A
    WM2016 Conference, March 6 – 10, 2016, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Millennial Time Capsules as a Promising Means for Preserving Records for Future Generations-16542 Claudio Pescatore* and Abraham Van Luik** *Private Practice Consultant, 72 Rue de la République, 92190 Meudon, France, [email protected] **U.S. Department of Energy, 4120 South National Parks Highway, Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT When we deal with preservation of Records, Knowledge and Memory (RK&M) for any long-term, non-inspected facility such a deep geological repository, there is no single technical or cultural provision that can be relied upon to do alone the preservation job 100%. Rather we should increase our chances by implementing a combination of approaches based on different components that provide redundancy and/or pointers to one another. Time capsules are no exception. However, they seem well suited to support national archives and other preservation elements, in order to preserve RK&M as long as possible or interesting. Time capsules are a ready to go, workable concept, with many examples of implementation of large-size, millennial time capsules at small depths based on science and lessons to be learned. A proposal is also made for considering and developing small-size time capsules placed strategically deep underground at repository level. INTRODUCTION Time capsules are used rather commonly by schools, companies, councils and even families to record and preserve today's artefacts for future generations, documenting how we live today. The practice is rather widespread and it suffices to search “time capsule” on the Internet. Numerous examples exist in the USA, Japan and Europe of millennial time capsules at small depths based on a scientific approach and with many lessons learned.

  • Corporate Legacy
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLB\5-2\HLB204.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-MAY-15 9:29 CORPORATE LEGACY ANDREW A. SCHWARTZ* Many public companies have shed takeover defenses in recent years, on the theory that such defenses reduce share price. Yet new data presented here shows that practically all new public companies—those launching their initial public offering (IPO)—go public with powerful takeover defenses in place. This behav- ior is puzzling because the adoption of takeover defenses presumably lowers the price at which the pre-IPO shareholders can sell their own shares in and after the IPO. Why would founders and early investors engage in this seemingly counterproductive behavior? Building on prior attempts to solve this mystery, this Article claims that IPO firms adopt takeover defenses, at least in part, so that they can remain independent indefinitely and create corporate legacies that last for generations. Throughout human history, people have sought to overcome the human condition and achieve the only form of immortality reasonably available to us: a legacy that “lives on” after we are gone. Legacies can be established in count- less ways, including art (Leonardo da Vinci), literature (William Shakespeare), and athletics (Babe Ruth). The corporate form, though not previously recognized as such, can likewise serve as a vehicle for achieving an enduring legacy be- cause corporations are endowed by the law with “perpetual existence.” Publicly traded corporations in particular are well suited for this purpose, given the significant social and cultural role they play. Once a company goes public in an IPO, however, it suddenly becomes vulnerable to takeovers, which can end its corporate existence and thereby any hope of an enduring legacy.

  • Louisville Is Just Cool. “ It’S Cool Because the People Who Live There Are Proud of Where They Live, and Are Constantly Working to Make the City the Best It Can Be
    Louisville is just cool. “ It’s cool because the people who live there are proud of where they live, and are constantly working to make the city the best it can be. Whether you’re visiting briefly or have lived there for years, this community spirit is palpable.” — “Top 100 Places to Live,” Livability “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” — Muhammad Ali Cover photo courtesy: Louisville Tourism The start of a new decade is a great time to review our progress and look ahead. This is something we do regularly at Metro Government, where we believe in learning from the past, living in the present and preparing for the future. That approach, along with hard work and a long list of community partners, has helped produce an incredible economic and cultural renaissance in Louisville. You can see evidence downtown with new landmarks like the Abraham Lincoln Bridge, opened in 2016, Omni Louisville Hotel, opened in 2018, and Lynn Family Stadium, which opens in 2020 as the new home of Louisville City FC and the future home of Proof Louisville FC. You can see this renaissance all over the city, from the Norton Sports Health Athletics & Learning Complex being built in west Louisville, to the restored Colonial Gardens in south Louisville, and the gorgeous trails of the Parklands of Floyds Fork in the east. There are many ways to quantify our city’s progress, including 83,000 new jobs and 3,000 new businesses since 2011, and $15 billion in capital investment since 2014, including about $1 billion in west Louisville.

  • Bauer's Restaurant Landmarks Draft Designation Report
    Colonial Gardens Designation Report Metro Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission August 19, 2008 Colonial Gardens Local Landmark Designation Report Metro Historic Landmarks and Preservation Districts Commission Location The property for consideration is located at 818 West Kenwood Drive on the southeast corner of the intersection of Kenwood Drive and New Cut Road. Colonial Gardens is situated on the east side of New Cut Road opposite Iroquois Park approximately 150 yards northeast of the Iroquois Amphitheater. Description Colonial Gardens is sited close to the corner of Kenwood Drive and New Cut Road which relates to its historic use as a roadside attraction. The building’s façade is oriented to the north. Currently, parking lots are located to the east and south of the building. Situated at the south end of the property parallel to the property line is a concrete block structure that formerly housed a dry cleaning business that is considered non-contributing. A pizza restaurant is located on the adjacent property to the east of the structure. Colonial Gardens is a two-and-a-half story, gable-roofed, frame Colonial Revival Style structure. Originally clad with wood siding, aluminum siding was later added to the building. The original building which fronts Kenwood Drive was constructed in 1902. The building’s most striking features and those that articulate its early twentieth century Colonial Revival Style include the two-story wooden portico composed of a low, flat roof supported by four square piers, a primary entrance surmounted by a fanlight and flanked by sidelights, multi-pane window sash, and the corner tower, which takes advantage of the corner location and provides an eclectic note reflective of its roadside context.

  • ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: the Cooper Club Of
    ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: The Cooper Club of Henderson, Rusk County, and Popular Dance Bands, 1932-1942 Michelle Linsey Holland, M.A. Mentor: Thomas L. Charlton, Ph.D. A historical study of the Cooper Club in Henderson, Texas, which was open from 1932 to 1942, uncovers an exciting period in both American and East Texas history. Nationally, dance orchestras embarked on tours of the United States, playing one-night stands in small towns. Locally, the nightclub existed during the great East Texas oil boom. Under the management of owner Hugh Cooper, the Cooper Club became a staple for music lovers in East Texas who appreciated its elegant atmosphere and high caliber of entertainment. Local, regional, and national dance bands played one-night stands and brought to the oil field the latest in popular sweet music, swing, and jazz. The Cooper Club has significance and is deserving of scholarly research, for it shines light on the social and cultural history of Henderson, Texas, from 1932 to 1942, as well as the excitement of famous orchestras coming to a small town.
