Does anyone have an idea in which newspaper I might find an obituary for Amanda Jane Turrell who died 2 April 1912 in Lakeville, St. Joseph County, Indiana? I know she is buried in Southlawn Cemetary, Center Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. I live in California and am trying to do this research long distance.
Thank you,
Carol

Hi everyone!
Here's a link to a website that will give you a pretty good idea of what the telephone alarm system was all about. This is in response to a question from a fellow list member asking what a telephone alarm was. Very interesting!

RITES TO OPEM BLIND PROJECT
Fragrance Garden To Be Dedicated July 7.
A Garden of Fragrance, designed specifically for the pleasure of blind people, will be formally dedicated here at 2 p.m. Thursday July 7, in Leeper Park.
The garden is located in the east section of the park, around the pioneer cabin of Pierre Navarre. It was instituted and sponsored by the South Bend Garden Club with considerable assistance from the South Bend Park Department which contributed the land and the lanscaping.
The dedication rites will be directed by Mrs. Homer H. Zimmer, president of the Garden Club, and Mayor John A. Scott will make the dedication address. Park Superintendent Ralph Newman will participate, and among guests will be members of the Optimist Circle and the Federation of the Blind, two local clubs for blind persons.
The date was set for July 7 to coincide with a state convention of blind people to take place here that week end.
Designed for the Blind.
The garden has been designed especially for the pleasure of the blind, with walks made of crushed stone, and raised flower beds filled with hundreds of fragrant flowers, shrubs and herbs. Benches have been placed, and a hand rail will help to guide visitors to the garden's entrance.
Included in the plantings are flowering bulbs, but at present there are perennial and annual flowers in bloom, including 15 varieties of scented herbs, many scented bushes, petunias, marigolds, four-o'clocks, geraniums, pinks and calendulas. Many blind persons have been visiting the garden daily, enjoying the progress it has made.
Much of the material for the novel garden has been contributed by friends of the project. The hand rails were the gift of the Bendix Products Division, Bendix Aviation Corp.; the top soil, bulbs, lilies, roses, and vines have been given by nurseries; benches and bird baths have been contributed and even sets of specially designed tools which the blind can use themselves in a section of the garden designated as a "therapy" section.
Benefit Parties Help.
Cash contributions have been made possible through benefit parties by various organizations.
The South Bend Garden Club will maintain the garden through a perpetual fund. It was designed by Stanley C. Goard, park department landscape architect, and the park board did much of the actual work of putting in the garden. The original idea was inspired by Mrs. Granville W. Ziegler, who had read of a similar garden for the blind in England. The South Bend garden is thought to be the only one of its kind in this country.
Committees which have worked on the project include Wendell Noell, material coordinator; Mrs. James E. White, publicity; Mrs. Noell, treasurer; Mrs. William Barr, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Ziegler; Mrs. Dugald C. Black, state therapy chairman for the Garden Clubs of Indiana; Mrs. D. C. Hay, state chairman, Indiana Garden Clubs; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey M. Rohr, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Bokon, Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Newman, and Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Jackman.
