Looking Back
Carroll's number one ranked Class A Cougars earned their second straight regional title on their quest for another state football championship. Friday's match-up with 11-0 Fountain Central was to have been a battle to the finish, but someone forgot to tell the Cougars. Following a FC field goal in the first quarter, the Cougars took over and never looked back. The finished the Mustangs off 34-3. The price tag to Carroll County for last week's ice storm included $6,000 in salt and sand. But despite that expenditure, critics charge some county roads remained icy after the storm because insufficient employee overtime was authorized for salt application. 25 YEARS AGO A break-in at Payne's Prescription Pharmacy, Flora, was discovered at 6:25 a.m. this morning by Flora Police. The perpetrator(s) gained entrance by breaking out the window glass in the front door. Taken were several lighters and watches from the display counter valued at $550. The burglary occurred sometime in the early morning hours. The pharmacy is owned by James J. Payne of Rt. 1, Bringhurst. 50 YEARS AGO Dick Norton Bishop will begin the practice of law next Monday, with his father, Attorney A.D. Bishop, at Flora. The new firm will be known and Bishop & Bishop with offices at 19 S. Street in Flora. Dick N. Bishop completed his three years of law at Indiana University School of Law, graduating and receiving his law degree in June of 1956. During his last two years in law school, Mr. Bishop served as librarian and assistant executive secretary to the Indianapolis Bar Association. Mr. Bishop's father, Attorney A.D. Bishop, began the practice of law at Flora 25 years ago, in July of 1931. Young Bishop is the third in line to follow the legal profession, his grandfather, the late Judge Grover Bishop, having been a Kokomo attorney as well as both City and Circuit Court Judge in Howard county. 75 YEARS AGO Delphi banks are safe and sound institutions. Many people have made a pretty mess of it by their senseless runs on sound and solvent institutions. For a majority of the banks that they have closed have been just that. In pulling down their deposits, they have pulled down the pillars of their bank and sent it crashing down on their own heads. Friends and neighbors of Carlyle Humes of near Cutler went to his home recently and husked 70 acres of corn. Humes is still in a hospital at Crest View Florida recovering from injuries in an automobile accident. 100 YEARS AGO The barn of Herman Leibert who resides one-fourth mile west of Pyrmont was struck by lightning Wednesday and burned to the ground. The loss is about $900 with half that much insurance. One horse, 640 bushels oats, a binder, new corn planter, wagon, carriage, hay tedder, 50 bushels of corn, grain drill and several tons of clover hay were consumed by the flames. |
