10 Years Ago
February 20 1989
Kathryn Hyden, a qualified medication aide at Miller's Merry Manor, Warsaw, was honored with a retirement party Feb. 16 at the nursing home on County Farm Road.
25 Years Ago
February 20 1974
It's off to the state swimming meet for Warsaw's Steve Franklin on Saturday. Franklin emerged from the recently completed Elkhart Sectional as a double winner in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events. Franklin, a junior, has reportedly turned in some of the best times in the state this year.
50 Years Ago
February 20 1949
Uncle Spec Ettinger, long-time harness maker of OUR TOWN, is moving from the McCleary Building on North Buffalo Street to the Gael Munson Sr. Building, located back of the Munson home on North Lake Street. Uncle Spec has given away more skate straps, gun holsters and silver and gold studded belts than a 20-year-old cat has had kittens. Many's the time he has listened to a tale of woe from a wee cowboy or Indian. His cronies like to spend their hours around his old heating stove, spinning yarns.
75 Years Ago
February 20 1924
Warsaw Daily Times newspapers were ground to pieces under a train this morning at Etna Green. Last night's west bound train carrying The Times was too late to throw off the Times at Etna Green. They were taken into Chicago and sent back this morning early. When thrown off at Etna Green a careless mail clerk allowed the papers to get under the wheels of the train which ground them and other newspapers to bits.
