BILL "TOO HIGH," HE DRAWS KNIFE
Motorist Takes After Gas Seller Because of 24 Cents.
One filling station attendant was robbed by two men and another threatened with a knife late Thursday night by an irate motorist.
The robbery victim was H. L. Hans, 937 East Third street, Mishawaka. He operates the Liberty station at Liberty street and Western avenue. About 10:30 o'clock a man entered and went into the washroom. A minute or two later another man came into the station, pulled a gun and backed Hans into the washroom where his confederate relieved the attendant of about $20. The pair then fled in a car parked nearby.
While Barney Ramella, attendant at a station at 3221 Western avenue, was on duty shortly before 11 o'clock two couples drove up and asked for eight gallons of gas. When Ramella had fueled the car he was tendered $1 by one of the men occupants.
"I need 24 cents more," Ramella told the customer. The latter became angered and jumping out of the car chased Ramella about the station with a large knife. Mrs. Ramella grabbed a gun from the station and gave it to her husband, who threatened the man if he advanced any further. While Mrs. Ramella was calling police the motorists drove away.
Ramella told police he could have shot his assailant but he did not want to take a life over so small an amount of money.
I received a ton of help on my quest to find the marriage
record of Augustus Thompson in either Berrien Count Michigan
or the neighboring Indiana Counties. A kind soul found
August Tompson married Johanna Daly 22 Jan 1862 in Berrien
County. Obviously Tompson would not show up as THOMPSON in
any index.
Thank each of you for your efforts, suggestions and
encouragements! Now I get to see if Johanna Daly was a
distant relation of Mayor Daly of Chicago or John Daly the
golfer from Arkansas. Genealogy is certainly the most fun
hobby going!

I have neither the index nor the records for Berrien County
here in Dallas. A local said she had checked for me and
that they weren't in the marriages of Berrien County. No
idea if she checked the index or the book.

David Strickland,
How did you determine that Augustus, Gus, Gustav Thompson and Jo Ann or Joanna
(possibly Daly) are not in the Michigan marriage records? Were you looking
in an index? Or did you go page by page? The indexes have missed people. I
have found individuals in my family by going through page by page, because they
weren't in the index and I knew for certain they married in Berrien County.
If you went page by page, then I would begin to look in St Joseph County,
Indiana. or Chicago. That was a hot spot for Berrien County residents to go to.
Good Luck in your search.
Sue "Rough" Mack
Hi there!
If you think you might have a Michigan couple that possibly got married in
St. Joseph County, write to:
County Record Center
1140 South Lafayette St.
South Bend, IN 46601
If they find something, there is a small fee involved for photocopying.
Happy hunting!

I understand that in the mid 1800s couples from Berrien
County Michigan frequently crossed the border to Indiana to
get married, for whatever reasons.
My Augustus, Gus, Gustav Thompson married a Jo Ann or Joanna
(possibly Daly) sometime between the 1860 census and about
1863. They are not in the records of Berrien County
Michigan.
Is it possible to check marriage records for this time
period for this couple? He was definitely in Galien
Michigan as a single man in the 1860 census but soon started
a family.
Any help of suggestions are most appreciated.
