Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Hannah Kime was the 1998 New Year's Baby at Kosciusko Community Hospital, Warsaw. The daughter of Lyle and Patti Kime, of Mentone, she was born at 5:13 a.m. Jan. 2. She has a brother Kevin, who's 4.
It was a little more than six hours after the witching hour before Kosciusko Community Hospital could welcome its first baby of 1983, but despite missing a 1982 tax deduction, the wait was well worthwhile for Bruce and Ferree Bowman, Pierceton.
Proud mother Mrs. Robert Konkle, of Warsaw, held her new 9-pound daughter, Marcia Kay, the only baby born on here New Year's Day. Marcia Kay came into the world at 5:39 a.m. Jan. 1, at Murphy Medical Center. Mr. and Mrs. Konkle have one other child, a daughter Sandra, born Sept. 11, 1953.
James Howard, rural mail carrier out of Burket, claims the distinction of being the first 1933 grandfather in Kosciusko County, perhaps in Indiana. Wilma Eillen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Boy Howard, of Burket, was born 45 minutes after the midnight arrival of 1933. The mother was formerly Ethly Regenos. Jim says it is the first time in 53 years that he ever became "grampaw."
