In and About Chesterton con't.
On Monday night thieves broke into Muldoon's Saloon, gaining entrance
through the back window and took two bottles of whiskey, 6 bottles of
wine, a bottle of gin, and a box of cigars. They walked past the money
drawer, containing $6.60, and left it untouched. No clue to the
thieves, but they are supposed to be home parties, who wanted the liquor
for private use.
Mrs. Spafford desires The Tribune to say that she will positively
prosecute any person who furnishes her son, Albert with liquor. She has
served notices already on the saloon - keepers, but on last Fourth of
July he was drunk. It would seem to us that no saloon- keeper would
desire to sell this boy liquor, and we are inclined to believe that he
is furnished with it by friends, who think they do a kindness, when in
reality they are doing a great injury.
A. L. Harper, the hardware man, met with a painful accident last
Tuesday. He had sold a self-binder to Fred Linderman, and on that day
the machine was taken to Frank Brown's field to cut the wheat. Mr.
Harper went along to start the machine and see that every thing worked
all right. After working sometime, a stick got in the machine
interfering with the work. Mr. Harper reached out for the stick but
just at that instant the machine was ready to bind and the large needle,
two inches broad, which does the binding, sunk itself in the back of his
left hand, just above the fingers, passing out through the first two
fingers shattering the bones, and taking the cap off of the first joint
of the first finger. Two separate wounds, each about two and one half
inches long were made. Dr. Miller and Green were called to dress the
wounds. At first it was thought amputation would be necessary, but it
was finally concluded to postpone such a move until it was absolutely
necessary. At the operation the loose particles of bone were removed,
the cap set, and the wounds dressed. Mr. Harper stood the pain while
the Drs. were doing this, without the aid of anaesthetics, he refusing
to have any administered. The physicians in attendance think it
probable that the fingers may be saved, but possible that amputation of
the hand, or excision of some of the bones may be necessary. The
patient is in great pain. At any time such as an accident is
deplorable, but especially at this time, it is unfortunate for Mr.
Harper as it is his busiest season. He has the sympathy of the
community.
On His Way to the Poor Farm
Last Tuesday Sandford Hall found Jud Hill, a poor idiot, near Jackson
Center on his way to Chesterton, naked. Taking the unfortunate man in
charge, he gave him clothes and brought him to Chesterton to be placed
in charge of Trustee Green. That gentleman issued an order and had Hill
taken sent to the poor house.
The family to which Jud Hill belongs is an unfortunate one. The father
was a poor half-witted soul, who lived on a piece of land near
Furnessville. He had four boys, one died in the lunatic asylum, one,
Charles, by name, killed a negro in New York in a saloon row, and is now
serving a life sentence for it in the penitentiary at Auburn, and the
two boys, Smith and Jud, both Idiots. These last two lived with the old
man until his death. Smith is a living illustration of the sluggard,
and Jud is if possible worse. It is said that as the father grew old
and weak, he became helpless, and could get but very little to eat.
Towards the last the neighbors would bring him food, but being too weak
to help himself, the boys ate up his food, and he starved to death.
After the old man's death which occurred but a short time ago, Smith
assumed charge of his brother Jud, and they lived and starved. Smith's
already clouded mind became dimmer, until one day last week, wandered
away, and has not been heard of or seen since. During his absence, Jud
wandered away, and stripping himself of what clothes he had, strayed
aimlessly away, until picked up at Jackson Center. It is said that the
old man owned 34 acres of land where he lived. What will be done or has
been done with it we do not know. Probably no move has yet been made
towards disposing of his property and giving the rightful heirs the
benefit of the proceeds. Smith Hill, who is now away, should be looked
after. Perhaps he has starved to death, or is perishing in the woods
now.

The other evening, a certain young miss who lives here, went out for a
walk. Soon after some of the boys thought they would have some fun at
her expense by giving her a scare. Before finding the lady, however,
the party found something else. It was a skunk, and laid right in their
path. Not realizing what it was, one of the boys gave it a kick. That
kick was his last, for laws-a-massey: polecat perfumery and blue streaks
of profanity filled the air for miles around. Sadly, but swiftly they
retraced their erring steps and looked for a graveyard to bury their
clothes. The young lady was not frightened that night, it is needless
to say.

children, a little boy, about two years old, while playing in the yard,
fell from the fence, and broke both bones of the forearm of the left
arm. Dr. Young was called, and set the bones, and reports the child
doing nicely at this writing. The accident obliges the parents to
postpone their return home for perhaps 3 weeks.
The wheat crop, according to reports from our correspondents, will be
excellent this year. The wheat is harder and better quality than that
of last year, and more of it. Although indications point to a low price
just after harvest, it is thought that the price will not be as low as
last year. One advantage in favor of the wheat raised in this section
is that it is much sought for by millers, on account of its superior
quality, and they are willing to pay more for it then wheat raised on a
different soil. It is worth five cents more a bushel than other wheat,
and farmers can get it by demanding it.
If more of us knew about this site - perhaps we could find our lost bibles,
or return them to the ancestors of the original owners-

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy
Newsletter and is copyright 2002 by Richard W. Eastman. It is
re-published here with the permission of the author.
- U.S. 1930 Census Records To Be Released
The United States government conducts a census every ten years, in
the years ending with a zero (1910, 1920, etc.). These census
records contain a wealth of information for genealogists. The
exact information obtained varies from one census to the next but
generally contains each person's name, residence, age, place of
birth, immediate family members residing in the same household,
and more. The government keeps these records confidential for
seventy-two years to protect the privacy of those listed. The 1930
U.S. Census records are due to be released this year.
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration has
announced that it will release the 1930 Federal population census
for the first time on April 1, 2002. At that time, the microfilmed
copies will be opened for research at the National Archives
Building in Washington, DC, at 13 of the National Archives
regional facilities across the nation, and through the National
Archives rental program.
The 1930 census is the 15th Federal census mandated by the U.S.
Constitution, which states, "The actual Enumeration shall be made
within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the
United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in
such Manner as they shall by Law direct. . . ".
As one would expect, the number of records in the 1930 census is
much larger than any previous census. All of the returns for the
first U.S. census conducted in 1790 fit onto 12 rolls of
microfilm. The country continued to grow so that the 1920 census
consists of 2,076 rolls of film. The 1930 census consists of 2,667
rolls of population schedules and 1,587 rolls of Soundex indexes
for 12 southern states, totaling 4,254 rolls. The other states,
however, do not have Soundex indexes.
The 1930 census provides a wealth of socio-economic information,
such as the following: names of all persons living in each home;
relationship of each person to the head of household; whether the
home is owned or rented; value of the home; if the family owns a
radio; if they own a farm; whether they attended school or
college; if they can read or write; place of birth; citizenship
status; and occupation.
These census records should be available within a few days after
April 1, 2002 via the National Archives' Rental Program. In
addition, commercial companies will also have rolls of microfilm
available for sale or for rent. I suspect that CD-ROM and possible
online availability will occur some later time after April 1,
2002.
For more information on the 1930 census, see
http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html/

I am looking for information regarding my second great grandmother Elizabeth Brown Reeves who lived in Valparaiso in the late 19th century.
She is listed in the 1880 census, living with her daughter Mary Ellen Newland in Valparaiso and in the 8870 census living with daughter Belle Calkins in Valparaiso, IN. She is the second child of Clayton Brown and Therza Haywood, born in Mt Holly NJ 18 August, 1794.
She died 18 April 1884; I suspect Valparaiso, but would like to document that.
Her husband, George Reeves (b 9 Mar, 1794 in Mason Cty KY) (m 10 Feb 1823, Warren Cty OH) apparently died previously. I would like information on his death date and place. He is the seventh son of Austin Smith Reeves and Agagail Mason.
They had 8 children, Emaline Matilda (b 1824, d 1825), Austin Smith (1826/1886), George Haywood (1827/1877), Mary Elizabeth (1829/1834), Sarah Caroline (1831/?), John Brown (1833/1870), Mary Ellen (1835/1889 Valparaiso), and Therza Arabella (1838/1913).
