Remember When 04.22.2010

10 Years AgoThe oldest house in Indiana has yet to be constructed. It arrived here recently from New Jersey, where it perched on a hill slowly swallowed by commercialism, highways and pocket emptying tax levies.The house owned by Betty Reynolds Carrie, was built in 1721 and added on to in 1800 and 1825 and was listed on the National Historic Register. It was too dear for Carrie to leave behind in Florham Park, N.J., where it would have fallen to the wrecking ball.Arriving here boxed in bits and pieces, the home will be reconstructed by Dana Cone and crew of Cone Construction, Dewart Lake.25 Years AgoTracing a family history is challenging and enjoyable for many Americans. That's exactly what Philip Oram, of Prairie Village, Kansas found out when he traveled 600 miles to Kosciusko County last week to pick up an 80-year-old wagon made in Warsaw.It was more than just a typical farmer's grain wagon. It was a wagon rich in family history for Oram. The wagon, still well-preserved, was made sometime around the turn-of-the-century at the Oram Wagon and Carriage Works in a brick building at the northwest corner of Lake and Center Streets in downtown WarsawOram explained that the wagon was made at the Warsaw business founded by his grandfather, Harry Oram in 1834. He plans to haul the buggy back to Kansas.50 Years AgoBrock Blosser, Tom Knoop and Ford Chinworth are pleased upon learning they have been selected to represent Warsaw High School at Boys' State in June.
