Chesterton Tribune - July 2, 1885
FURNESSVILLE
Business is still on the decline.
John C. Cole and wife, of Woodville, spent last Friday here with
friends.
Mrs. Jenny Goodykoontz, after a month's visit with her people, returned
to her home at Buena Vista last Tuesday.
Rapid sales in strawberries are still made at 2cts. per quart on the
vines.
The lull talking was caused by too many women being busily engaged in
canning fruit.
Mr. O. L. Sutturland in company with Miss Maria Hackett, of Valparaiso,
Sundayed in the Ville.
Mrs. McDonald, of Chesterton, in company with her sister Mrs. Pope, of
Geneva, Ill. were guests at Wm. Brummitt's last Sunday.
Miss Amelia Wisman was married last Sunday to Wm. Krapel of Hageman. A
large circle of relatives and friends witnessed the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brummitt are happy over the arrival of an infant
daughter. All three are doing well.
It is estimated that 30,000 quarts of strawberries have been sent out
from this vicinity this year up to the present date.
Lewis Payne who has been confined to the house by sickness for the past
few weeks is now slowly recovering under the treatment of Dr. Vincent of
Valparaiso.
W. A. Barr, of Paris, Ill. visited Saturday and Sunday with friends here
before leaving to spend the summer vacation in various cities of Ind.
and Ills. Mr. Barr has lately closed a successful two years work in the
school at Burdick having given entire satisfaction and gained the good
will of all the patrons.
SALT CREEK
Thos. Watts, of Morgan Prairie, was at this place one day last week.
Thos. Bower, of Michigan City, was at this place buying stock for the
prison.
N. E. Yost, of Crisman, was making calls at this place last Sunday.
John Gossett, Tim Merton, and Wm. Felker, made a business trip to
Valparaiso last Saturday. Wm. Felker bought a new mower.
Mr. Coulter, of Chesterton, has been doing the mason work on Chas.
Benke's new kitchen. If any of the boys of Chesterton knows how to
sling mortar, it is Mr. Coulter.
There will be a grand time here the 4th, at least some of the boys think
so, in the way of tripping the light fantastic. They have spent most of
their time in selecting the best of music and we think it a shame if the
boys don't have a large attendance.
One of the largest fires that was ever in Salt Creek, happened to John
Babcock last week while he was at work tending his corn, his barn was
seen on flames by some of his neighbors which was to late to save a
thing when they arrive on the grounds. There was no insurance. The
loss was about $60. This has been the second time John has had bad luck
in the past three weeks, that is enough to break up the oldest man in
the county.
Miss McAuliff closed her school last week. Miss M. gave her scholars a
picnic on the last day. They all enjoyed themselves, and the teacher
will long be remembered.
