Hi everyone!
I'm giving my fingers a little bit of a break for a few days from typing up newspaper articles so I can concentrate on some end-of-month things. What follows in the next few messages will be some obituaries that Jeffrey Vaillant typed up and submitted for the website and (I think) the list.
If any of you have anything like this just laying around, please feel free to post them to the list. This list belongs to all of us, so don't be shy! :-) Besides, I feel like I'm doing a monologue out here. Not only that, you're probably getting tired of seeing my name pop up all the time! :-)
Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

I have added several Obits to the web site that were submitted by Jeff
Vaillant
Added a web link to the main page for some very good historical pictures of
_South Bend_ (http://www.monon.monon.org/sobend/main.html)
Added a family Sheet to the Family Sheet site
Thanks to all who has contributed.
Due to Rootsweb's Spam Control NO one is able to send messages with tag
lines, that include web sites.
Whoops! I found another one! :-) It is fixed so messages SHOULD automatically come to the list and not to me only. Does anyone have some asprin?

Henry and Blanche lived in St.Joseph County, 1910,1920
and 1930 Census. Looking for any of their daughters that
might still be living there.
Here's the second posting that didn't go through. I think the problem is fixed now.

Hiram and Lydia Spicer were my GGGrandparents, Alzie was my GGrandfather.
Minta'a full name was Sarah Ann Minta (Minty) Spicer, b.Jan. 24, 1864 in Indiana, d. Aft 1930 in Detroit Michigan.
Hiram died Dec. 11, 1886 and Lydia died Mar 11, 1872 in Indiana.
It's possible that When Lydia died in 1872, Hiram adopted out the younger children, (Almira & Sarah)
I can't yet explain how Sarah got to Mecosta Co., Michigan but she married Riley Priest there in Mar.,1886. It's possible that Hiram was also in Michigan when he died.
A lot of my info comes from Bible records that were published in the Fall 1979 issue of The Michiana Research Journal.

Hi everyone!
For some reason, something went wacky in my list tools so two message board posts did not go to the list. Below is the first one.

Seeking information about Minta Spicer, almost certainly a sister to Alzi Spicer and Alfonzo Spicer. In 1880, all three lived in Kosciusko County, Indiana.
Alzi lived with Alfonzo and his wife in Kosciusko County.. Minta lived with the William and Mary Boggess family there, as did my great grandmother, Rosa Norris. Both were described as adopted. This suggests that the parents, Hiram and Lydia Spicer were deceased, but I have not found trace of them in Kosciusko County cemetery records.
Does anyone know what happened to Minta?

Grace M. E. church pulpit was occupied Sunday by the new pastor, Rev. W. R. Mikels. He was no stranger to the older members of the congregation, having been pastor of the church upon its organization, over twenty years ago. He made a favorable impression upon the younger members Sunday and it is believed will be successful in his labors as he was during his first pastorate here.
Postmaster Crockett has replaced two of the old-style mail boxes by boxes of a new pattern adopted by the government. The new boxes are water proof and burglar proof and a decided improvement on the old pattern. One large one has been placed on the corner of Washington and Michigan streets and one on the Main and Center street corner. A small one will be put on the corner of Lafayette and Monroe streets.
A bill of $15 was presented to the council for burying three dead horses, and allowed. The horses were the ones who lost their lives by the fire in a barn on south Main street last week. The occupant of the premises skipped out the next day, and so no owner of the horses could be found, the marshal had to do the best he could in getting the foul corpses out of the way. He could get no lower bid for the job than $15.

Several more new homes are going up on the Burroughs estate in the north part of the city. On Portage avenue Dan Payne has a neat cottage enclosed and Thomas Ayers has the foundation in for a nice residence. John Zimmer, foreman at the Coquillard works, has purchased a lot also on the avenue and will build a residence there this fall.

The proposed sites of city parks had many visitors Sunday and Chapin Place and vicinity was thronged with people riding and on foot all day. There is no disguising the fact that this territory along the river from Michigan street to the McCartney farm would make the popular park if there was some way for the city to get control of it.

Willie Herring, son of Mr. Eli Herring, living on west Water street, while climbing an iron fence Sunday slipped and fell in such a way as to break both bones of the right leg between the knee and ankle joints. Dr. C. H. Myers was called and set the broken member.

E. P. Chapin is grading some of the new streets laid out through Chapin Place, and foundations for two new residences on the west tier of lots in the Place were begun Monday.
The Laporte Herald [Herald is italicized] says: "Two farmers from South Bend were in town last night looking up some thieves who stole a horse valued at $175. They tracked the animal to this city, and think the thieves have gone towards Michigan City."
William Dean, the north Main street saloon keeper, was fined $10 and costs by Justice Wright Thursday for selling liquor on Sunday. Three witnesses swore that they got liquor there on a certain Sunday, and Dean and his wife swore they were not in the saloon on that day.

The South Bend Top Prop company have opened an office in Dr. Dayton's building corner of Water and Market streets. The company is composed of George W. Harris and Charles B. Greene and Miss Lou Hanauer fills the position of stenographer and correspondent for the company. The prop is an invention of Mr. Harris and meets with the approval of carriage men everywhere and the new company is receiving some nice orders. The little affair has a spring joint that prevents the annoying rattle so common to buggy tops, and contains durability with utility.
