Bottles collected by Loyd Thomas and Larry Armey, Warsaw, are in the glass display case at the Old Jail Museum through the end of October. The bottles are embossed with “Warsaw IN.” Earliest pieces date back to the 1800s, including a bottle of mineral water from M.M. Syphers. Several bottles were sold at Godman’s Roof Garden, a popular gathering place where dances were held during the summer in the early 20th century. James Vinton Godman owned this establishment west of North Buffalo Street along the shore of Center Lake, where he also operated an ice cream factory featuring a maple-syrup flavored concoction. He became city engineer and supervised the laying of the first brick pavements in 1902 through1904.

Hundreds of spectators thronged the streets of Warsaw to see the many activities of the Big Pow Wow. The Peashwa Tribe were celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Tribe. There was a men’s parade and war dance, a fancy drill by the Appomattox Tribe of Atwood, high class vaudeville at the Airdome and degree work at the Wigwam. The Moose band furnished the music and the crowds followed the band to the pie eating, nail driving, egg race, ball throwing and wrestling contests and wheel barrow, ladies tight skirt, motorcycle, bicycle and running races on West Market Street.
Back in 1914, Joe Lessig was head of the history department at Akron High School. Helen Richards (now Mrs. A.E. McConnell) of East Fort Wayne Street, was selected by Trustee Alton J. Wiltrout to teach domestic science in the Wayne Township schools.
