For Amtrak and Warsaw, the request to place a station here has been a prosperous venture. Recently, train officials stopped in town to present a plaque of appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Milford Lock, who offered Amtrak a portion of their building to use as a depot. The remaining portion of the building is used as the couple’s ceramics business, and just recently they renovated the upstairs which now serves as their permanent residence. 50 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Creighton, Crystal Lake Road, will fly from Chicago to San Francisco today on the first leg of a round-the-world tour.

From there they will fly to Japan, Indonesia and Australia. 75 Years Ago Miss Louise Ireland and Bruce Metzger of near Claypool left for a motor trip through northern Michigan and Wisconsin, where they will visit the Wisconsin Dells and Lake Geneva.
