10 Years Ago According to the October issue of American Libraries, for its size Bell Memorial Public Library ranks second in the state of Indiana and fourth in the nation.

Volunteers from the church had been constructing the building and had just put up the trusses Saturday. Church officials had hoped to have the structure enclosed before winter set in, but workers will now have to start again from scratch. An estimated $30,000 in material was blown over. The church has insurance which will cover most of the damage. Some of the materials may be salvaged. 50 Years Ago Alan and Sharon Grimm of Atwood received the “most accurate record award” at the district 4-H and FFA commercial beef banquet in Fort Wayne recently.
