Officials report the suspect broke through a back door at Stonecamp #14 at 9:22 p.m.Friday.The bandit reached a second door, breaking the glass in an attempt to gain entry to the home.The suspect fled when the broken window caused the house alarm to go off. Nothing was reported stolen in the break-in. A state police evidence technician picked up fingerprints on the back door, but those prints have not been identified.The prints may belong to the homeowner, an acquaintance or the suspect. Last weekend police believe the same person entered a home on Orchard Drive, Winona Lake, stealing a briefcase, a purse and a duffel bag.The stolen items were later found in nearby empty lot.

Local Resident Traces Ancestors To 6 B.C.
Connie Anthony, a local resident, has traced her ancestors back to Claudius III, who lived in the year 6 B.C. "The biggest thing is you have to know where to go and have the right information when you go," said Anthony, "If I would have checked this out six months ago I wouldn't have gotten here." She started her search in the Kosciusko County Historical Society as well as the Warsaw Community Public Library.Another valuable source Anthony used was the Church of the Latter Day Saints which has very accurate records.Anthony was able to obtain quite a bit of information from them. "Things just started popping up at that point," said Anthony. The Kosciusko County Historical Society claims that "it's very unusual" to get back that far.However, if the family is part of royalty, as was the case with Anthony, it makes the process easier because their lives are highly documented.
