10 Years Ago Tom and Carolyn Robinson’s home at 4355 W, CR 600N, Clunette, is open for the 2004 Historic Properties Tour Sept. 25. They bought their 95-year-old home at auction two years ago, the former home of Arthur and Lillian Anglin. Son Jay Anglin told the Robinsons that he had cowboy wallpaper in his bedroom; a strip has been framed, with the slogan “The Crossroads of the Prairie” spelled out in wooden letters. He remembers that the original house caught fire during the winter of 1909 and his parents brought the children out in the snow. Max Anglin, a cousin, recalls how the kids loved playing in the upstairs because “the rooms were dark and spooky.” 25 Years Ago The Warsaw Tigers are coming off a 3-6 season in football and will be looking for their first winning season since the 9-1 year in 1982.
