10 Years Ago

January 2 1997

    Boys & Girls Club of Kosciusko County recently held a raffle for the shaker board weather station members built in their woodshop. The winner was Tim Werstler from DePuy.


25 Years Ago

January 2 1982

    For doctors, nurses and other workers at Kosciusko Community Hospital, as well as five area families, it was far from a day off as five babies were welcomed in with the new year.

Officially, the first baby, Justin Brinegar, son of Darrell and Debbie Brinegar, North Webster, was born at 12:27 a.m. He was the first of four babies delivered between midnight and 5 a.m. Jan. 1. One more baby was born between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m.

50 Years Ago

January 2 1957

    The first birth in 1957 at Murphy Medical Center was a son born to Mrs. Delbert Hedington, of Etna Green. In fact the infant is still unnamed. The baby, by the way, has the distinction of being born on his father's birthday. Mr. Hedington was a New Year's Day baby in 1936.


75 Years Ago

January 2 1932

    After 24 years of continuous service in the auditor's office at the court house, Hazel Breading Helvey turned the office over to her successor, Jesse Bruner. Helvey served 16 of those years as deputy auditor and eight as auditor. Her long term of experience gave her an insight into the operations to such an extent that her counsel was often sought by other court house officials as well as the public generally. During the 24 years the longest vacation period she ever enjoyed was three days.
