A distance of eight credits divides the Freshviri from the Sophomores, the Sophomores from the Juniores, and the Juniores from the Seniores. LIBER SECUNDUS- Conquests of ours as Freshviri, 1923-4: Having absorbed all the knowledge of Hither School, ours, on the Kalends of September, entered Further School (called Liberty Center High School) with duabus legions. The prima legio contained one puer and the secunda eleven puellae. Under the leadership of Imperator Welch, Legata Deopker and Legatus David- son, we fought many battles with Algebra, English, Latin and Botany, finding Algebra and Latin the strongest enemies. Eight credits being granted us, we returned home for the summer vacation. LIBER TERTIUS— Conquests of ours as Sophomores, 1924-6: Under the rule of Imperator Welch, Legata Calkins and Legata Corlew, we re-entered Further School with one puer in our prima legion and eleven puellae in the secunda. This year, we en- countered Geometry, but put it to flight. English, Algebra, History and Caesar made a conspiracy against us, but we forced them to give us as hostages eight more precious credits. So we returned in triumph to summer quarters.

QUARTUS- Conquests of ours as Juniores 1925-6: Incited by past victories, we came back to Further School with one puer in our prima legion and nine puellae in the secunda. Leroy llanrahan deserted from our prima legion, but Alvar Olson enlisted in his place. We worked industriously on three hundred tabulae of the Liberty Echo and presented a play, “Captivi in Wood- ville. Under the leadership of Imperator Bockelmann, Legatus Carlson and Legata Corlcw, we laid siege to eight more credits, and, having gained possession of them, ceased lighting tor three months. LIBER QUINTUS— Conquests of ours a Sen 'utres. 1926-7: In September of this year, we made our quart us march into Further School as Seniores. Our prima legio still contained one puer, but the secunda legio had lost two milites. Margaret O onnor, who journeyed to Chesterton, and Grace Lcnberg. whom home duties called away. We found a change in our officers as well, for, inita aestate, L. Albery had led Legata C. Corlcw in matrimonium, so now her name became Legata Albery. Again we faced and van- quished new enemies: Physics, Bookkeeping, Civics, N irgil. Eco- nomics and their many kinsmen. Tonight we are offering to Further School the first Class Night Program to be given at Liberty Center. We have obtained our thirty-two credits: we are now awaiting Commencement; then we shall embark on the Mare itae. Exituri vos salutamus! We, who are about to depart, salute you!

Mr. Gustafson hail promised a new court if we could get a team. Mrs. Albery consented to coach us, and we started in with enthusiasm. But until our court could be completed, we bad to practice on the boys and that meant—war! However, certain nights were set aside for girls’ practice, and then we all got busy. The first game scheduled was with Kouts at the Wheeler gym. As the girls had not yet purchased their suits, they had to play in middies and knickers. Kouts, stronger and more experi- enced. conquered us easily. Then followed a list of defeats: Wheeler, Crisman, Washington! But we were learning by experi- ence and the scores became more gratifying. Weeks and weeks then passed with neither practice nor games. But we were to meet Union Center at Wheeler, February 18. We had a hurried practice at Salt Creek. The boys had been im- proving all fall and had been making some close scores, so they had a sneaking idea they might win. But, to tin surprife f all, it WM the girls' team that earned the first and only basketball victory for Liberty Center in the year 1926-1927. The line-up is as follows: Iva Cole (Captain)--------Right Forward Ida Cole________________ Jumping Center Iris Babcock______________Center Guard Corinne Jacobson..........Left Forward Dora Schmidt.............. Left Guard Marcia Dillingham.........„Right Guard Dora left school and Irene Iluszar played in her position in the Union Center game. Alice Hanrahan will take Dora 's place on the first team. As substitutes, we had Genevieve Figolah, Ruth Johnson, Lillie Schmidt and Norma Behrendt. Norma is the only substitute still playing with the team. But there is promising material in the class graduating from the Eighth Grade, and we have high hopes of making a good record next year. - ■—Page Twenty-one ir ::rr mw- ' r riM f 1 - - war 1 THti rmn Liberty Center School Orchestra 11HH ■HMHHBHHMI LUCY LUNDAHL, Saxophone.

Time: Late afternoon and early morning in summer. THE STORY OF THE PLAY 1 JARY MERRILL finds herself over-shadowed in the family by VI two charming older sisters: Jean, whose marmalades have made her famous; and Maude, whose hobby is the propagation f beautiful flowers, especially larkspurs. Jean is, moreover, engaged to a promising young man, so the family interest is centered about her approaching marriage to Christopher. But Mhi?� ls twenty, is still the baby to everyone, even the faithful family servant, Melissa. During her absence on a visit, Mary resolves on a wild scheme to get attention. Upon her return she announces that she has not only met a certain eminent author at the seashore but that she is engaged to him. Her relatives make the desired fuss until Mary is at her wits end to discover a way out of the difficulty, for she has never even seen the man. That evening a strolling actor takes refuge in her garden and asks to be permitted to hide there until morning. He is a rather sensitive fellow, who wishes to escape the curious questions and joking comments of his fellow-players concerning a newspaper (Continued on page twenty-six) 1 i I ' ' nummum r r or rionr ior ' r “Informal Glimpses” Page Twenty-four I 4llllttllllMHni8lll U1IUIU1 ilii liUlilHIIlll' mm | VI VI Vir VI M T JL VI U: 'll V| VI VI ' | VI VI v Viz 0 j t 5T ft r K rs i � � s • r Tv hi i •% i- r i ■ ?

This group is affil- iated with the state organization and has as its pur- pose “Service to the School.” A membership in the film service of the extension department of Indiana University has provided them with interesting and instructive mate- rial for the monthly programs. Pupils from the various rooms have added recitations and musical numbers. Twice yearly the P. T. A. has provided treats for the entire school. They have in- terested themselves as an organization in the movement for a bigger and better building to house our school activities. The present officers are: President, Mrs. Cook; Vice President, Mr. E. Esser- maii; Treasurer, Mrs. Figolah; Secretary, Mrs. Jacobson. SERVICE. Iris—“How can I go around to get ads for the Annual?” Leslie—“Oh, Steve has an automobile, a bicycle, and a pair of roller skates!” Mrs. Albery—“Astrid, read yours.” Astrid—“My constitution hasn’t been published yet.” Mrs. Albery—“What does ‘cultural’ mean?” George O.—“Garden.” Franklin—“I was playing baseball, when a box of matches in my pocket caught on fire and set my pants on fire.” Alfred—“1 11 bet you made a home-run then.” Mrs. Bockelmann—“If somebody hands you something silly, don’t look at it.” Alfred—“I didn’t know that it was silly until I looked at it.” Twenty-five —j a 1 £ ' m mm r % I - m anr “EVERYJUNIOR” (Continued from page nine) ACT III.

As this report was a hoax mid he had never met the girl in question, a man as shy with girls as lie is, finds himself very embarrassed. Mary finds, to her consternation, Hull this man, really an author just taking this tour to get local color for his stories, is the famous Peter Dilloway! And she, Mary Merrill, is the girl whose boldness has distracted the young author so! But Peter has fallen deeply in love with the black-eyed Mary in the beautiful old garden, and her confession the next morning does not prevent a happy ending to an unpleasant predicament;. So Mary acquires a right to the importance she has assumed, and, best of all, to the devotion of the man she loves. —------------o——-------- CAN YOU IMAGINE— Astrid in mischiefT Ruth E. thin?

Guarding the outside gate were eight little men. These little dwarfs wore high, pointed, green caps, long, flowing green capes, green stockings and black high- heeled slippers. Above the gate was a sign. It read: “Ask each little man his name, remember it so you can tell the guards at the next gate. ’ Just outside the next gate were four little dwarfs. They wore red caps and capes, black shoes and stockings. Their names were written in gold letters on their caps. They were Robert, Joe, Vincent, and Edward. In one voice they said: “Name the guards you have passed and you may enter Fairyland. So we said, • William, Harold. Lloyd, Stanley, Freddie, Cecil, Arnold and Roy. Just then the gate opened and there were two more guards. Their names, Donald and Clancy, were in gold letters on the front of their capes. These guards took us to the King of the Dwarfs, whose name was Carl. King Carl could speak some of the longest words you ever heard. The first word he said was: “ DorisLila- I lam label KmmaJ uanita. No sooner had he finished than five of the sweetest little fairies came dancing up to us. They bowed to their king, then to us, and stepped back near the wall. King Carl spoke another big word, “EllenllildaJoanAnna- belleXomieVirginia.” Six little fairies came and stood by the rest. Again King Carl uttered a word too long for us to think of speaking. It was “ LouiseDorisIreneJanetErmalVarlDorisMarian JennieAnna- UraceLorraineM-ildred. No sooner had he finished than twelve more little fairies came out. They were all dressed in white with tinsel trimming on their dresses and caps. They had little bell bracelets on their wrists. Soon we heard fairy music. The fairies did some very pretty dances. The May-pole dance was beautiful. We wanted to stay longer, but King Carl said, “ Youhavedonefineforthistime, and the fairies went away. The Primary Orchestra UR Primary Orchestra has sixteen members, including the leader, Pearl Laszlo. Joe Oreskovich is our drum- mer, Anna Grace Anderson and Juanita Sanders play xylophones, Doris Clevenger and Louise Esserman the triangles, Doris Blackman the rattle bones, Lorraine Esserman the castanets, and Carl Babcock the clicker. Ask Janet Cook what she plays! Then there are six tambourines, played by six sweet, little maidens, Jennie Nicholson, Erma Babcock, Virginia Olson, Ellen Dau, Emma Huszar and Hilda Johnson. Joan Marcinkowski was the leader for one month. Pearl had let her average fall three points below the necessary eighty percent and so could not take part. Mr. Henke made our music stands and varnished them. They are a great help to our Orchestra. We have appeared in public twice: at the Christmas entertainment and at the Parent-Teachers’ meeting in January. We practice each Wednesday and Friday morning. Here’s hoping that each member will become so interested in music that he will fit himself for a real orchestra, when he is old enough to be in High School. PRIMARY GAMES An event of great interest to our room has been our ball game, the three B’s. There arc three sides: Blues, Blacks and Browns. Before we could play, we had to learn some playground rules. Some of them are: Play fair, don’t cheat. Be a willing loser. Cheer the victors. Don’t swear, keep sweet. The people on the Blue side arc winners now, but the others will make them play hard to stay ahead long. 1 nor I 1 9 jr—2—z—SB!—SC—SC—xr ST Z—X—XXXI!

In January, Philip McQuatters left to attend school in Chesterton. In February, Mar- jorie Y a tidewater left for another school. In March, two of our vacancies were tilled by Floyd and Nolan Heims. Ve had a few parties this year, which everyone enjoyed. We took part in the “Fall Festival'' and have happy memories of our turkey masks ami Pilgrim maids. In April, our girls sang two songs for the P. T. A. meeting and were much appreciated. The Fourth Grade, especially, enjoy their Reading class, as when Allen gets his tongue twisted and says “w—a—p” for “wash.” They enjoy dramatizing stories, especially “The Rebel Cow,” when Robert takes the part of Lord Cornwallis and Bessie is Cynthia. One day, when we were singing, a Fourth Grade boy was asked why he did not sing. He replied, “Because one day I didn’t sing, and somebody asked if the piano had been fixed.” Two girls and three boys make up our Fifth Grade. One day in our Knglish class, we heard of a lesson in politeness, which was amusing. One of our boys had been taught that he must never keep a seat when ladies were standing. One day he was riding on a crowded street-car, with his father, and, because of the crowd, was Hi HI p—Pag;e w rwirwirwww ox«innr¥Tr5ir iiiauuiiiWiBiii� want Intermediate Grades seated on his father’s knee. When another young lady entered the car, the boy jumped down and said with a polite bow, Please, Miss, will you take my place?” In the Sixth Grade, there are six girls and seven boys; this T class is, on the whole, good in its work. These pupils enjoy finding the area of triangles and parallelograms. They like to study Geography, so they can make clay maps. One day, one of our Sixth Grade boys asked if he could borrow a comb. The following conversation ensued: H Miss D---: “Why didn’t you comb your hair before you came to school?” Hoy: “1 ain’t got no comb.” Miss D---: “Borrow your father’s.” Hoy: “Father hasn’t one, either.” Miss d---; “Doesn’t he comb his hair?” Hoy: “He ain’t got no hair.” We have enjoyed our lessons together, although they have, at times, been difficult. We hope and pray that we can be together again next term and continue our work.

But during the term the following pupils have left us: Mercedes Blackman, Dorothy Rhoda, Dorothy Neuliep, Mable Biggs, Martin Hansen and Marion Tomlinson. The pupils entering Liberty Center from district schools were: Clarice Bloom, Ella LaHayne, Frederick Zugbaum, Emanual and Leonard Novreske, Edward Hoffman, Robert Babcock and Robert Lenburg. In October, our room and the High School were entertained by a party arranged by “The Country Gentleman.” All reported an enjoyable time. At the Fall Festival, our room presented “The Family Album.” Those not in the play helped downstairs in the booths. At Christmas time, we had a party, which the teacher had prepared for us. February twenty-second, we had a farewell party for Dorothy Rhoda. We also celebrated Washington s birthday at the same time. On March 25th, the Seventh and Eighth Grades’ “Junior Citizens’ Club” put on a program for the P. T. A. meeting. It was a success and quite a large crowd attended, although the weather was stormy. Among the amusing people of our room are Harold and Ralph, whose mischief is always getting them into trouble. The Seventh and Eighth Grades have had an enjoyable year and hope to see all of the Eighth Grade pupils return as Presides, next vear. —ELLA LAHAYNE, CLARICE BLOOM. -----------o----------- Herman wanted to know if he could take “The Enchanted Hill” home with him. ! H 1 I tK- Thirl 3F - ■ WWW WIT - Jokes On Us Mrs. Pearson was telling the Seventh Grade that they should try to do better in Arithmetic, for they would need to know it in later life. Harold, speaking, said: “0, I’m going to marry a school teacher, so 1 don’t need to know all that.” The Seventh Grade were to write to someone, asking permis- sion to have a picnic on his property. Harold's paper started thus: “Dear Mr. Babcock—We would like to make a fire in your woods.” While Mercedes was writing in penmanship drill she said: “Don't talk to me or 1 11 go over the line.

Mrs. Albery was about to send Dorothy to her seat, but the door again opened and in came— a bridal party! Stalwart Glenn Olson, carrying a bouquet and with a four-yard train sweeping behind, was leaning on the arm of Melvin Smedman (only a foot shorter). Edith Drake and Evelyn Lundahl with huge white sashes and bows on their hair served as attendants. William Figolah followed, carrying a huge harness ring in the heart of a sunflower. Benton Blackman and George Shooter w ere the flower girls (T). The bride and groom took their places before the minister, Xorma Behrendt, who exacted many strange promises on the part of the contracting parties. Then the bridal party reformed and marched to the rear of the room, where Glenn presented Mrs. Albery with the bouquet (each flower of which concealed a ten-cent present) and a be-ribboned package containing a silver sugar and creamer, the gift of the High School pupils. Mrs. Albery responded graciously to the expressions of congratulation. The Junior and Senior girls served orangeade and nabiscos. The wedding was so much fun, we hope Mr. Carlson will give us the opportunity to repeat the event. Mrs. B. (assigning a Latin I lesson)—“For tomorrow, turn over in your books to page 70.“ Freshmen—‘‘ Impossiblet T!!“ Teacher—“Now, John, what did I say?” John—“Something 1 can’t remember.” Helene—“Art, why don't you ever study English Art—“Because I’m American.

As we needed money to pay our membership dues for the film service from Indiana University, we were glad of the opportunity, and de- cided to include Mrs. Pearson’s room in the work and fun. Benton Blackman was chosen business manager. The pupils divided into three competing teams: the Pirates, under the guidance of Lucy Lundahl; the Sea I)ogs, with Iris Babcock as captain; and the Buccaneers, working with Corinne Jacobson. The last named team sold the most subscriptions, so at Hallowe’en the two other groups gave them their party, “The Deep Sea Revel.” Everyone had heaps of fun, from the tattooing, which gave admittance, to the final stunt, “Burying the Treasure” (stowing away the eats). The character of the games and contests may be judged from the names of a few, such as: “Casting the Moorings,” “Raising the Sail,” “All Hands on Deck,” “Holding the Course,” “Holystoning the Deck,” “Porting the Starboard,” and “Heaving the Anchor.” o SUICIDE? Mrs. Albery—“During the war, how many meatless days did we have?” Alvar—“One.” Mrs. Albery—“More than that.” Alvar—“Well, the farmers that butchered themselves had meat all the time.” Teacher—“Elestor, I suppose if some one told you to jump in the lake you would do it.” Elestor—“Why, sure.” Frederick—“Everything is the same only it changes.” «| NX' 1 l ' VT-M «I W W 'I VL ‘ IX- AX' j -“ |T ' W 'T' —VJJ J r | anririrT Jirr Farmers State Bank THE REST WAY TO GROW STRONG IS TO DO SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU CAN NOT DO. --DON'T SPEND IT ALL-- Chesterton Paint Store Everything in WALLPAPER.

Entertainments were going on in each of the four class rooms and refreshments served in the basement rooms. The crowds shifted from place to place, enjoying the varying types of amusement. The three Primary Grades had a clever series of songs and folk dances. Their comical masks, quaint costumes, and frolicsome antics gave their show the title, “Funny Folks. The bovs and girls of Miss Danielson's room presented a playlet ‘A Thanksgiving Dream,” in which animated pumpkin pies, turkeys, goblins and Puritans gave a small boy, who ate too much, a terrible time. “The Familv Album,” by the Seventh and Eighth Grades, was also a success. An old-fashioned lady (Eda Johnson) exhibited Ihe portraits in her album with appropriate remarks on the life 1 isto'rv of each of her family. The portraits were particularly “life-like. ” lu the basement, the North Pole booth offered ice cream sandwiches and Eskimo Pies and were sold out early in the evening. The (’irons booth had balloons, whistles, candy, and especially confetti to sell. The element of chance made the Fishing I ond particularly attractive to the small folks. The entire domestic science room was turned over to the Dutch Restaurant this year. Their sandwiches, pie ala mode, and coffee were the most popular refreshments and drew a crowd from first to last. The High School entertainment was a presentation ot ‘‘Scenes in the Union Depot.” The depot surely had a cross-section of human life to show with lost children, henpecked husbands, college boys. iiutfiiiiii■■■■■■■■■■■ maim——— Page Thl STIVAI h wedding party, the widower with five children, the lone y spinster seeking some one to lean on, an eloping pair country folks having strange experiences in the city, etc., etc. The characters were as follows: George Oreskovich. ....Hazel Marshall. ....Alice Hanrahan. ..Genevieve Figolah. __Norma Behrendt. ....

BERTY To WNSHIP (By RtJTII JOHNSON) T THE dawn of history, this land was a hunting ground for tin Pottawatomie®. Through its borders caine the Jesuits and French fur-traders, giving the title to the land to the French because of their explorations. But the Seven Years’ War was closed by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, assigning this country to the English. In 1783, at the close of the Revolution, when tin independence of the United States was recognized, the colonies were granted control of all the land to the west of them as far as the Mississippi River. And our township was then considered part of the State of Connecticut! When the large states surrendered their western land claims, the federal government had a frontier to govern. The Ordinance of 1787 provided that this new territory should have a governor, ap- pointed by Congress. It stipulated that the Northwest Territory should have its own legislature, that under certain conditions it should make its own laws, and that some day it should be divided into states with the same rights and privileges as the original thirteen. Slavery in the territory was forever prohibited, and religious liberty guaranteed. In 1800, Congress organized the Indiana territory, including all the Northwest Territory, except Ohio. In 1805, Michigan was cut off and Illinois in 1809, leaving Indiana with its present bound- aries. By act of Congress, April 17, 1816, Indiana was authorized to form ii state government. A state Constitution was written, which was adopted at an election held in June, and the first week of Congress, December 11. 1816, the state was admitted into the Union, being the nineteenth state to enter; and thus represented by the nineteenth star in the flag. In 1885, a large tract of government land was sold at auction from which were formed the counties of LaPorte and Lake. At this sale, land speculators, with their usual shrewdness, offered a quarter of a section to the settlers, who agreed not to bid against them, and thus they obtained a two fold benefit. They bought their land at a low price and secured its rise in value by the improve- ments made on the part given away. Liberty Township, being b: miiBWMEm fi iSlllUi8HHnnHbUIBWIMUinHHMra0HMHraraMHStMS1ll!PiniBiHHMIBMBSMUnHNK4ill— Page heavily timbered, was especially valuable to them and the quarter part was obtained and held long after other portions of the country were quite densely populated. The surface of the township is generally level, and in the western and northwestern portions there is considerable swamp land. The soil consists of dark loam or clay and seems especially favorable for the production of timber. The most valuable is oak, and the other varieties are maple, hickory, ash and elm, with more limited quantities of black walnut, butternut and white wood. Two creeks Tof considerable size, with three small lakes or ponds, form the chief water supply. Salt Creek, which once widened to form one of the ponds, passes through the southwestern part and furnished consid- erable waterpower. Long Lake, in the southeastern part, the largest of the three, is connected by a narrow channel, with Flint Lake in Center Township. Probably the first settlement in this township was made by Owen Crumpacker, who came from Union County, Indiana, in 1834. H During the same year, William Downing, Jerry Todhunter, and Elizabeth Casteel, also came. During the next two years, the num- ber was increased by the arrival of John Dillingham, E. P. Cole, William Gosset, Asa Zane, Ira Biggs, David Hughart, John White, Fredrick Wolf, William Calhoun and others. The people, at this time, were divided into three settlements known as the Dillingham settlement in the eastern part, Zane in the central, and Salt Creek in the western part. The first houses in the Zane settlement were built by Asa Zane and Ira Biggs in the early part of 1835. During this year, David and William Hughart came from Greenbier County, West Virginia, having been forty-five days in making the journey. They built a house sixteen by twenty-five in which both families (numbering fifteen) lived for several months. In 1836, after the County was organized, the first regularly laid out road was constructed.

Previous to this time Indian trails had been the only roads, save those that had been built'before the county was organized. About 1851, the construction of a plank road to extend from Valparaiso to Michigan City was begun. It passed through the eastern part of the township. The first saw mill in this township was built by Samuel Olinger, on Damon Run in 18 16. It was run by 1. J. hield until lSdS when he sold it to VVillix.n Johnson, who, after seven or eight years, allowed it to fall into disuse. A little later in the same year William Cosset began the erection of a saw mill on the east bank of Salt Creek. The first store was opened by McPherson ami Meyers at Salt i ’reek in 1845. Their stock was small, not much larger than is carried by a stout peddler and consisting principally of those articles included in the comprehensive term, “Yankee Notions. Probably, at this time there were but two postoffices within the township, one of which was opened at Woodville. a station on the Baltimore Ohio Railroad. The other office was at Salt Creek, opened about 1858 with John Beck as the first postmaster. The first school in the township, taught in a log house, was built in the Zane settlement in 183b. Mrs. Sophia Dye was the first teacher having about fifteen pupils and receiving for a salary two dollars per week. The house was built by the neighbors in com- mon. with furnishings of the rudest character. The windows were formed of oiled paper, the seats of slabs, and the desks were made by driving pins into the wall and laying a board on them. A school was taught in the Dillingham settlement in 1837 by Anna Lyons in part of her father’s (John Dillingham) house; she had only eight or nine pupils. A school was maintained at Salt Creek from about 1837 to 1856. though no house for that purpose had been erected until the last mentioned year. The first teacher was Miss Kate Hoste, who received ten dollars per month. An exciting affair occurred in the tall of 1835, when four or five redskins, who were returning from Badly s trading post, and had become, as they termed it, “Cockazy, attempted to enter the house of David and William Hughart. The women, who were alone, were badly frightened and barring the door, climbed into the foft. After much whooping and several vain attempts to break down the door with their tomahawks, the Indians departed just in time to escape the wrath of the Hughart brothers, who were returning home from a hunt. William Hughart’s wife was so badly frightened that she died soon after from the effects of the scare, and his mother did not long survive her. These were the first deaths that occurred within the limits of this township. Though these early pioneers were not compelled to endure the dangers incident to those who crossed the Alleghanies fifty years before, they lived amid their care and labors with no comforts, no conveniences, and few roads. They were forced to be self-reliant and dependent on their own resources. Their bread was often made u from meal mixed with water and salt, and baked on a split shingle before the open fire. Their meat, when they had it, was usually the flesh of deer or other game killed in the woods. For such neces- sities as they bought, they had to go, at first, to South Bend and afterwards to Michigan City. They knew little of the so-called pleasures of to-day, yet unhampered by conventionalities they had enjoyment. The raisings, log-rollings, shuckings, “bussing bus,” and occasionally a wedding, furnished recreation suited to their life. The first of the latter occurrences was the marriage of William Hughart to Elizabeth Zane, on June 14. 1836, by Elijah Casteel, Justice of the Peace. The next was that of Daniel W. Lyons and Anna Dillingham, February 6, 1837. Such were the early days in Liberty Township, days when itinerant ministers held meetings in the homes, and a corporation was formed to finance a steamboat to carry produce to Chicago. Hard days, but happy days, for the sturdy pioneers whose grand- children now fill the schools of Liberty Township and cultivate its broad acres in peace and quiet.

OSEPHINE RICHARDS, of a literary turn of mind, had written a play, but she needed one hundred dollars to have it produced. Molly Pratt, her college chum, de- vised a clever scheme for raising the money. A conven- tion was to be held in town and the officials were looking for lodgings for the delegates. Molly s idea was that she and Josephine should take them in ns boarders and thus raise the necessary one hundred dollars. Josephine agreed and all went fairh well until the cook and the maid departed and Molly was compelled to disguise herself first as Josephine s aunt, in order to have a chaperonT ami then as a servant. In addition, one of the delegates got sick, and Frank Palmer, a lady delegate to the conven- Uon turned out to be sneak-thief. Josephine s future mother-in- law’arrived to complicate matters, but eventually a solution was discovered and the situation ended happily.
