10 Years Ago
January 4 1997
Warsaw's Pete Smith recorded a hole-in-one in January. Smith golfed at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club, where he aced the third hole. The length of Smith's drive was 173 yards.
25 Years Ago
January 4 1982
After 25 years of service with the Kosciusko County Highway Dept., 65-year-old Roswell Robbins recently retired.
50 Years Ago
January 4 1957
It seldom happens but it did here in Kosciusko County to Bob Clark and his father, Joe Clark. Triplet calves were born Dec. 30 to the mother cow, Bessie. Clark said this was the first set of triplets from his herd of Guernseys. Veterinarians say chances of having triplets in once out of 900,000 births.
75 Years Ago
January 4 1932
Blinding rain last evening caused Milton Burden, Warsaw jeweler, to mistake the Pennsylvania railroad tracks for West South Street, just a block before he had reached the place he intended to turn. Burden made the wrong turn with his auto and drove directly down the railroad tracks, thinking he had turned on the highway. His car bumped along over rails and ties and came to a stop midway in the block. Railway men telegraphed Fort Wayne and Plymouth and ordered approaching trains held up until the car was extricated from its dangerous position.
