Property Tax Mailing From the Hendricks County Treasurer’s Office: The pay 2021 property taxes will begin mailing Monday April 5, 2021. To save tax dollars, both the Spring and Fall coupons are mailed in the same envelope. You will not receive a second statement for the Fall coupon in the mail.

This is a reminder the tax statements have a new format. The new form no longer has the “Tax ID” number.

Instead, please use the “Duplicate” number found at the top of your statement when referencing your parcel for payment.

If you own property in more than one county, please make sure you pay the correct county by checking the top left portion of your coupon when submitting payment, to avoid delaying payment to the correct county.

This year you will find a “Total Due” has been added to the “Taxpayer’s Copy” for those wanting to pay for both installments.

If your mortgage company pays your tax you will see a watermark across the statement stating “INFORMATIONAL”. If you do not see this and your property tax is paid by your mortgage company, you will want to forward the tax statement to them immediately.

There is often a lot of confusion when a property is sold about who is responsible for the property taxes. This is an agreement made between the buyer and seller, and the Treasurer is not a party to nor has knowledge of your agreement. If you have questions or concerns regarding the responsibility of your taxes we suggest contacting the title company where you had your closing or realtor.

Operating hours for conducting business in the Treasurer’s office are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 pm.

We will have extended hours on the due date, Monday May 10th from 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

Payment may also be made at the following Hendricks County banks: First Merchants Bank, First National, Hendricks County Bank and Trust, North Salem State Bank and State Bank (formerly known as State Bank of Lizton). Payments are not posted until they are received by the Hendricks County Treasurer. You must present your current tax statement coupon at the bank along with your payment. The bank is unable to accept any prior years’ tax payments. Please come in or call the office to obtain the correct amount of a past due payment.

If mailing your tax payment remember that it is considered on time if postmarked by the US Postal Service on or before May 10, 2021. If there is any question about whether a payment will have a timely postmark, we encourage you to obtain a certificate of mailing from the post office.

WE NO LONGER HAVE A P.O. BOX NUMBER. Payments should be mailed directly to the Hendricks County Treasurer, 355 South Washington Street, #240, Danville, IN 46122.

For electronic payment options, please go to www. co.hendricks.in.us. The county is prohibited by law to pay the credit card fees. Therefore, they will be added to your purchase if you choose to use that option.

Our night deposit box is located on the south side of the Government Center in Danville by the south entrance doors. Payments may be deposited in this box at any time prior to midnight on May 10, 2021 and will be considered on time. Please enclose your payment and bill coupon in an envelope when using the night deposit box.

For questions about the payment of your taxes, please call the Treasurer’s Office at 317-745-9220 or email the Treasurer’s Office at treasurerdept@co.hendricks.in.us ______________________________________________

Fatal Crash at US 36 & SR 75

A Bainbridge man was killed in a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 36 and S.R. 75 at New Winchester.

Hendricks County Deputies responded on March 23, 2021 at 1:18 p.m.

Preliminary investigation indicated that Jennifer Backus, 47, of Bainbirdge, driving a Ford pickup, had stopped in the northbound lane of S.R. 75 at the stop sign, and proceeded onto U.S. 36 into the path of an eastbound semi-tractor and trailer.

The semi was unable to avoid striking the truck that Backus was driving. After impact, the momentum of the vehicles carried them eastbound into the front of another vehicle (tri-axle dump truck) which was stopped in the westbound lane of US 36.

Ms. Backus was pronounced dead at the scene.

There were no additional injuries reported during the crash.

Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be a factor in this collision, and reconstructionists from the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office are continuing to investigate. __________

Burn Season

A method of land management used by Nature for centuries is making a return, with the (controlled) assistance of Man.. This Spring, two nature parks in Hendricks County are using prescribed burns to maintain and improve areas planted with native prairie grasses and flowers.

On Monday, a prescribed burn was made at McCloud Nature Park, where a 52-acre area has been planted with native prairie grasses that once grew in Hendricks County.

McCloud, under the management of Hendricks County Parks and Recreation, has been using burns for more than a decade to help maintain the area.

The area was burned last year, but due to it being longer than normal between burns, it was recommended to have another burn this year. Normally, burns are used about every three years.

This spring, Brownsburg Parks’ Natural Resources team will conduct a prescribed burn at the Outdoor Classroom at Williams Park. The burn will be in partnership with the Brownsburg Fire Territory and conducted as weather and site conditions allow.

Delving Into Yester~Year

Local historian and writer Paul Miner takes items from

The Republican’s Yester-Year column to develop an interesting, informative and often humorous article.

To the Editor: At 420 pounds, Phil Kreigh was “the biggest Democrat” in Indiana in March 1896.

The farmer apparently was north Franklin Township’s Democratic committee.

Another source, recalling his tours with Barnum & Bailey Circus, cites his top weight at 775 pounds. He rests at Stilesville Cemetery.

Politics was big in Stilesville back then.

Governor Conrad Baker, a Republican, and U.S. Senator Thomas Hendricks, Democrat, convened their fifth “joint discussion” (a debate) in Stilesville in September 1868.

The Democratic convention for the local congressional district was held at Stilesville in August 1878. Being on the National Road then apparently had its advantages. Governor James “Blue Jeans” Williams addressed “the democratic yeomanry.”

Former U.S. district attorney and Congressman John Hanna spoke at a town jollification in October 1880.

California suffragist Nellie Holbrook and Nebraska’s Paul Vandervoort spoke at Stilesville’s political rally in October 1884. Vandervoort was a former commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Patriotism! Young ladies of Stilesville were complimented in the Indianapolis Journal in August 1863. Union soldiers pursuing “the traitors” in Putnam County stopped to rest at the town. “It was not known they were coming, but in less than an hour the patriotic ladies had prepared . . . an excellent and plentiful supper.”

Overwhelmed by the women’s “cordiality and grace,” the soldiers declared they were “’going for them’ as soon as the war is over.”

Crimes were outstanding. Forty were poisoned near Stilesville in June 1851 and doctors believed 29-30 would not recover, the Putnam County Sentinel reported.

“The person implicated as being accessory to this horrid deed is said to be an old woman anxious to get rid of some grand-children.”

She reportedly poisoned a barrel of flour meant for her intended victims, but it ended up being used by a family hosting a quilting party. The victims immediately began violently vomiting and exhibiting signs of poisoning.

The old woman was brought before a justice of the peace, but was released due to insufficient evidence.

A Stilesville snowball fight gone bad in February 1874 ended with knives drawn, and a boy of 11 stabbed another in the abdomen. He was jailed.

White Caps almost lynched a man implicated in his wife’s poisoning in early April 1888, but when he refused to confess, the mob cut him down and ordered him to leave the county by morning.

“But for his pugnacity,” O.A. Hume of Stilesville would have fallen victim to footpads on South Illinois Street, Indianapolis, in November 1874. In other words, on-foot highwaymen picked the wrong guy to rob.

In March 1877, two doctors and another fellow were charged with digging up a just-buried woman from a Greencastle cemetery, hiding it in a stable near town and then taking it to Stilesville, “or vicinity,” where they dissected the remains.

They were released on $200 bail until the circuit court’s next term.

One of at least five town doctors, Allen K. Heavenridge practiced from the mid-1870s until at least 1899. The Rush Medical School graduate died in 1902, age 72, and rests at Stilesville Cemetery.

I don’t know whether he or the others dug up bodies.

Heavenridge was vice president of the planned 150-mile Indianapolis, Eel River and Southwestern Railroad, intended to serve small towns and “running through the best coal fields of Indiana.” He promoted the railroad at Belleville in February 1882 and it was said the company’s $2 million in capital stock “foreshadows success.”

The failed plan would have been “of inestimable value to those beautiful, but tomblike, villages.”

Stilesville was considered “a quiet village” in comparison to “the commercial town” of Coatesville in 1883.

That tiny Franklin Township town was expecting “a boom in the near future” in mid1885, waiting “patiently for the development of the evolvement.”

One boom already had occurred. Stilesville’s Martha Cooper won 25 yards of carpet at Danville’s July 4, 1887, celebration in a contest for the matron who could “show up” with the most kids under 21. The wife of Methodist Episcopal minister Shelby Cooper claimed 13 children ranging from 24 to three-years-old, with 12 still at home, but I wonder whether she’d overlooked one, because more than one source cites 15, with one dying in infancy.

Danville Town Board: Mr. Downard said that Mr. James Jeffers wanted an ordinance passed making it unlawful for chickens to run at large in the town of Danville.

Mr. Tinder said he was in favor of such an ordinance as he thought he fed about 300 of his neighbor’s chickens. Mr. VanNote and Mr. Downard said they were against it as they did not keep chickens and when they came in their yards, they killed them. They both intimated that if such and ordinance be passed, they would lose one source of meat supply.

The Republican students of the Central Normal College have organized a club and named it the”McKinley League of Central Normal College.”

Coatesville: The Bluze Base Ball team will again be in the field. A new park is under construction and the following players have been signed: Dawson Scott, A. Stewart, Sullivan, Blue, O. Stewart, Pruitt, Whitiker, Clark. This is practically the same team that won 16 out of 21 games played last year.

Pittsboro: Jonas Jordan, a lad who left here in the early ‘70’s, came this way to visit last week. Forty-two years absence from Pittsboro changed everything to “Jone” as we used to call him.

Official White House Photo by Lawrence Jackson Vice President Kamala Harris conducts business at the USS Constitution desk.

Senior Chief Yeoman Robert D. Thomas, III, U.S. Navy, of Danville, is currently assigned to the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, DC. Thomas recently managed the project to construct the heritage desks for the Vice President of the United States and the Secretary of the Navy.

March 27 was the 227th anniversary of President George Washington signing the Naval Armament Act of 1794 which authorized the construction of the frigate USS Constitution, still in commission, stationed in Boston, MA. More than two centuries later, part of the historic ship can be found in the White House office of the Vice President and the Pentagon office of the Secretary of the Navy in the form of executive desks emblematic of the special bond between the nation’s civilian leaders and the United States Navy.

On loan from the Naval History Heritage Command, Sailors built the Vice President’s desk of reclaimed materials from the renowned frigate USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, America’s Ship of State, and the only currently commissioned U.S. Navy vessel to have sunk an enemy warship. The desk was presented to the Office of the Vice President shortly after the inauguration.

The Office of the Secretary of the Navy received a desk similarly made from USS Constitution wood, plus parts from one of Constitution’s sister ships USS Chesapeake, the sloop-of-war museum ship USS Constellation, and the battleships USS Texas (BB 35), USS Arizona (BB 39), and USS New Jersey (BB 62).

“With the example of the Resolute desk in the President’s Oval Office, I wanted to provide our civilian leaders with similar, tangible reminders of more than 200 years of outstanding service from American Sailors,” said NHHC Director Rear Adm. Sam Cox, U.S. Navy, Retired, who commissined the desks. “These desks honor our nation’s past and reflect our resolve to ensure America’s maritime superiority well into the future.”

The desks were constructed by a team of U.S. Navy Construction Battalion (Seabee) personnel as a training evolution to hone their subspecialty skills as master craftsmen in woodworking and metalworking, assisted by the expert historic shipwrights of NHHC Detachment Boston.

Construction of the desks began Jan. 4, 2021 at the Washington Navy Yard in the National Museum of the U.S. Navy’s workshop. Work on the desks was completed on Feb. 19, 2021.

Both desks are part of the U.S. Navy’s 300,000-plus historic artifact collection maintained and curated by NHHC. Naval History and Heritage Command, located at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage. NHHC is composed of many activities including the Navy Department Library, the Navy Operational Archives, the Navy art and artifact collections, underwater archeology, Navy histories, ten museums, USS Constitution repair facility and the historic ship Nautilus.

Thursday, April 1, 2021

The Queen Anne--style Little house was rated “Outstanding” in the 1989 Hendricks County Interim Report: Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory, published by Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (now Indiana Landmarks).

By Melissa Gibson As the Del Webb community builders began preparing for construction, something different caught the community’s eye. Sitting off of the main thoroughfare at 5328 East US Highway 40 in Plainfield, a beautiful home came into view and residents began asking questions as to its history and future.

“I think people are attracted to it because it’s beautiful and unique and there’s nothing else like that around here,” said Reann Poray, Department Manager of the Indiana Room for history and genealogy at Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library. “It started being cleared out for a new housing developing and was something people drove past every day, but now that it’s cleared you can see it and it’s really generated interest.”

As questions and theories rose on social media, the library began posting information about the history of the property and curiosity grew.

The property had been in the Little family since approximately 1830, purchased by Alexander Little, a member of the Indiana State legislature. Alexander then passed the property ownership to his son, Samuel.

Samuel Little had 11 children with his wife Rebecca Green. He owned 400 acres of land and according to the

1885 History of Hendricks County, was one of the most successful stock raisers in the county. He was president of the Plainfield and Cartersburg Gravel Road Association and was a stakeholder in for the First National Bank of Danville.

Samuel passed the property on to his son Thomas around 1885, the builder of the house that stands today.

The Queen Anne-style home features a turret, wrap around porch, balconies and many windows.

Thomas Little sold the property to Arthur Gray for a short time and then Clinton Givan had ownership until 1946. From 1946-1972 the home was owned by Montello and Gertrude Dailey. It’s at this point, some may remember the large goat farm on the property.

Throughout the 50’s and 60’s many recall the events on the property bringing the community together for festival-type celebrations.

In 1972, the Dailey’s sold the property to Charles and Geraldine Carpenter, who held ownership until a sale to Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) in 2017.

Many have asked if the historical home could be moved and restored at another location, however, the library has been told the interior isn’t easily salvageable and it would be structurally unsound to move.

Future plans for the property are unknown. The Republican reached out to HRH but has not received a response as of press time.

One thing is clear; the home brings back nostalgic memories and an interest in preserving the history of a town with strong community values and an interesting history to tell.

“I think there’s a lot of families interested in family history, genealogy, DNA, and it leaves us wondering about our ancestors and triggers questions about your own heritage,” Poray said. “Society changes so quickly, so when you see something like the Little house, it just prompts a lot of interest.”

Architectural plans and property information is available in the Indiana Room at Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library for the Little house and many others in the community. If interested in locating information on your own heritage and properties in the town, the library is a good place to start.

Visit https://www.plainfieldlibrary.net/ for more information.

The house was built between 1885 and 1890 for Thomas Little.

Thomas Havens was the carpenter responsible for the construction. It quickly became a landmark for those traveling on the National Road (U.S. 40).

In the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s, many recall the large goat farm, Germont Farms, and the festivals they held on the property.

In 1878, an artist sketched the humble home of Thomas Litttle’s father, Samuel Little. The house was demolished when Thomas’ new Queen Anne house was built iin the 1880’s. The “bride and groom” conifer trees in front of the farmhouse can still be seen decades later, in the photo at the left, in front and to the side of the new house.

So cute. _____ Lots of news from North Salem this week.

First, thanks to all for your concerns for North Salem residents after severe storms on Saturday.

It’s on the mend.

So much damage - well try to list all I know. South West Street hit hard as first street west in North Salem.

Garage damage at Lee & Cheryl Russell’s; fence down at former Steve & Carolyn Clark home; Kevin & Laronda’s pool, trampoline and other damages; Bob Russell has much damage to his home; big tree down in late Ronnie Barnhart back yard; lots of debris at home across street; end of barn blown out at barn storage; on SR 75 roof gone from new building; just about anywhere you drove by, damage of one kind or another.

We are all very thankful there were no serious injuries. Material things can be replaced - a person’s life is most important. Lots of trees down in various places. The Lee Russell garage blown off foundation. The door and siding on Payton Bracken’s house damaged.

Special thanks to all helping clean up limbs, etc.

The Eel River Township Volunteer Fire Dept. has helped so many. Thanks, Fire Chief Kevin Basham and his crew - most impressive.

Jim & Barb Oliver, so many branches, etc. in yard.

So many helpers, Steve Garland, Brandon Bassler, Gavin Robinson, Wyatt Garland, little Tom Goode, Logan Goode, Kyle Miller, Mark & Kevin Basham, Kyle Miller. So much help.

No wonder people want to move to North Salem. A very caring community.

We are truly blessed with so many caring young people. We shall be OK. You can’t imagine the hours our young people devote to our town. Thanks.

Our Storm Report It started out a nice day - people had been out walking, working on yards, etc.

Jim Oliver spent over three hours cleaning his yard, so being a helpful neighbor, I worked on mine about an hour! Well, after the high winds and rain had come through - he now has a yard full of branches, stalks, a hole in his roof and lots of work ahead for him.

My yard has lots of corn shucks from field behind, and Daisy K.’s praying bear gone from her grave. On a trip around town drive by Karen, we passed a street about 2 block away and I said, “Stop, Karen” - and can you believe it was Daisy’s praying bear on the side of the road!

Tina and Steve Garland and family suffered much damage at their home at the start of West Street.

In honor of April Fool’s Day, I thought it would be a good time to look at Nature’s foolers. What I mean is plants and animals which use mimicry to “fool” predators or prey to their advantage.

Mimicry is when a species looks like another species or object. While similar to camouflage which is blending into the surroundings (for example gray-brown fur on many animals that blends in with the color of dead grass), mimicry goes beyond to actually looking like another object or organism.

For example Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies look a lot like Pipevine Swallowtails, the difference being an additional row of orange spots. (Who could tell when they’re fluttering SPICEBUSH SWALLOWTAIL around?) Pipevine butterfly larvae eat only leaves from the pipevine family, all of which produce toxins.

The caterpillars ingest the poison which does them no harm but makes the larvae PIPEVINE SWALLOWTAIL and the adult butterfly toxic to insect-eating animals.

Not wanting to take the chance of eating a poison snack, predators avoid both species of swallowtails.

Some insects “fool” predators by appearing to be something altogether different. For instance, a Walking Stick insect looks like a twig. A Katydid looks like a green leaf.

Their predators; bats, birds, and snakes, overlook them among the leaves and branches of trees.

Several species of snakes use mimicry for protection. Harmless milksnakes look very much like the venomous coral snake.

Rat snakes and bull snakes look similar to rattlesnakes and when confronted will hiss and shake their tails BULL SNAKE imitating a coiled rattler.

The thing with identifying any kind of snake is I’m not getting close enough to see if it’s truly a rattle, if its head is triangular or if its pupils are round or slit!

Plants use mimicry for protection from plant-eating bugs and to hide from RATTLE SNAKE unsuspecting prey but also for pollination. Take for instance the Cardinal (Lobelia) Flower. To a hungry hummingbird, it looks like a great place for a tasty nectar lunch. It’s shaped is like other Lobelia flowers which have nectar. It’s bright red and hummingbirds are attracted to bright red flowering plants because well, bright red attractive flowering plants usually have yummy nectar. Imagine the hummingbird’s disappointment when there’s no nectar! The bird pokes his long beak around inside the tubular flower getting it all covered in pollen while it searches in vain for a sip of sweetness but, nothing. He moves on to the next pretty, red flower probing with its now pollen-coated beak, and if it’s a cardinal flower, POLLINATION. There are several types of mimicry. Search “Mimicry” on the internet for much more in-depth study, research and examples. It’s fascinating how flora and fauna have adapted and adopted not just physical appearance but odors and chemistry to protect, prey and ensure their species survival. No foolin’. ______________________________________________

Auction Fever

By Judy Pingel I love auctions. I do not know if it is morbid curiosity to see someone else’s possession up close, or the thrill of the hunt to find an overlooked “rare treasure,” but I love an auction sale.

Of course, the main lure is the change to get a bargain.

That is usually what brings in a crowd. Everybody loves a bargain.

I was asked by a friend the other day if you can actually get bargains at an auction. Well, DUH! Yes, you sure can. It is only basic logic that things “usually” are less expensive if someone else has paid full price first. I say “usually” because there exceptions to this rule. And by that, I mean the dreaded “auction fever.”

Anyone who has ever been to a sale is well aware of the danger of auction fever. Even the most seasoned auction goers can catch it. There is no vaccination. There often are warning signs. A buyer can go weeks, months, or years without it, when BOOM! they experience a case.

Unlike Corona Virus, there often are no symptoms ahead of a full-blown case. A person can be calm and reasonable in their purchases. Always looking for a “good buy.” Well aware of the usual market prices. Carefully examining the merchandise ahead of item. Weighing the cost and difficulty of the repair of a small flaw. Looking over the crowd to evaluate potential rivals for the desired purchases. Doing everything right to make sure they do not make a mistake and spend too much money for an item.

Now, it is important to note that a case of “auction fever” can hit a person over any item at all, not just something rare and expensive. It could even be something as simple as a stack of Tupperware lids, one of which matches a lidless bowl in your kitchen cabinet. A lid probably worth a quarter at a garage sale. (Ask me how I know this.

I might even show you my nice Tupperware bowl with a matching lid. A $5 led, no less.)

Auction fever is when you decided you are going to buy an item. Period. In your mind it is already yours.

You know where it will go in your home. You already see it in place. It is yours. No one else can have it. It is war between you and other bidders. Logic has flown out the window. If you are lucky, the other bidders have retained their common sense. If you are not lucky, another buyer has also become obsessed with the item. When you see the auctioneer and ring men exchange happy smiles, you know you are witnessing a huge case of multiple auction fever outbreaks. It is almost worth going to a sale to see if someone gets auction fever.

But the main reason to go to an auction is that it is FUN! See you at the sale. ______________________________________________

Zombies are Here to Stay But There’s an App for That (Coming Soon) A study from the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute shows that people using their phones behind the wheel double their chances of being involved in an accident. And if you have two phones, well, you can do the math. But did you know phones can also distract you on the street? A recent study determined an increase in pedestrian deaths partially due to distractions caused by smartphones (US Governors Highway Safety Association).

In fact, in China, they experimented with “cellphone sidewalk lanes” for people who use their phones while walking (I’m not making this up). I imagine these “lanes” were free from lampposts and other obstacles, but won’t these people bump into each other? Now it turns out the China experiment followed a similar U.S. experiment (which was actually performed as an April Fool’s joke).

Practical jokes on April 1st must be a U.S. thing…

In any case, there will soon be an app for that (my prediction). Forget about autonomous cars solving this problem — that’s going to take a while. But because 100% of us have smartphones now, I imagine a free app coming to the rescue (or $1.99 if you want to avoid advertising). The app monitors all smartphones within 20 feet for pedestrians and 500 feet for automobiles. Speed and direction are both monitored and when a potential collision course is detected, alarms go off for both parties. A response by either party averts the potential collision and the pedestrian can buy a fresh cup of coffee (to replace the one he just dropped) — he may also need to change a few things... ______________________________________________

A Squirrel About Town

Our Readers Write SECTIONAL MEMORIES Two bits, 4 bits, all for Shortridge stand up and holler.

And holler we did. I graduated from Shortridge in 1957.

We looked forward to the basketball sectionals all year. I don’t know that Shortridge ever won the sectionals. That honor usually went to Tech or Crispus Attucks.

There were 5 or 6 of us girls who went to the sectionals together every year. The games were held at Butler Field House. Only one of us had a boyfried and he could drive.

So he transported us to the fieldhouse , lunches held in our homes, and sleepovers. Gas was only about .25 a gallon then so we didn’t have to pitch in much for gas.

I think for most of us the sectionals are still remembered as one of the most fun things associated with high school. _______ COINCIDENCE??

A couple of years ago my husband and I were in New Hampshire for a Road Scholar trip. It is customary to introduce ourselves to each other after supper.

My husband, Jim was wearing a Brownsburg sweatshirt. Before we could even introduce ourselves one of the ladies, Arlene Carlson came up and asked my husband if he was from Brownsburg. Yes he was.

Arlene said I used to live in Brownsburg.

Jim said, “Do you remember the street?”

Yes, Fairfield Dr. We live on Fairfield Dr. Do you remember the number?

Sure do, 12.

We have lived at 12 Fairfield for 53 years. You must be Arlene Carlson. We bought our house from you and your husband 53 years ago.

What are the chances of that happening?

Pretty darn slim. ______________________________________________

By Archy “What is the squirrel community’s stand on April Fools’ Day?” Archy considered the question by narrowing his eyes and fluffing his tail.

“Our level of humor, on the most part, is above silly pranks,” he began. “But we do appreciate a sense of the ridiculous as much as the next creature. We especially like to have some fun with the younger squirrels, if nothing more than to keep them on their toes. We will tell them where the world’s biggest nut is buried and watch them dig until they are neck deep in the hole. When they ask how much further must they dig, we’ll say, ‘Stop now, the big nut is already in the hole.’ You can literally see them turn red with embarassment.

“Did that ever happen to you, Archy?” I asked.

The squirrel laughed. “No, but I was an exceptionally sophisticated pup. When they asked me if I wanted to find the world’s biggest nut, I’d just reply, ‘Looking at it.’ You should have seen their faces!”

I’m afraid I’m beginning to appreciate squirrel humor.

Archy read my mind and nodded. “I daresay you are starting to get us. Next thing you’ll be stealing my jokes.

You know what they say,” he mused, “ a squirrel and his funny are soon parted.”

As I groaned, the squirrel began laughing hysterically.

Happy April Fools Day!” he shouted as he scampered back to his tree. ______________________________________________

How To Guard Against “Damping Off”

By Colletta Kosiba Hendricks County Master Gardener What Happened?

Your young seedlings are growing healthy one day and dying the next day. It is caused by” damping off.” Damping off affects the stems of seedlings above and below the soil line.

Seedlings come up and suddenly wither.

Some have stems that appear pinched or broken, causing them to fall over with leaves attached. May have some gradual discolor.

May appear that seedling has been pinched off at the soil line.

Well folks, there is no cure for damping off once it occurs. Damping off happens so fast you would not have time to help if you could.

What is the cause?

It is caused by any of a handful of fungal diseases, including several root rots (Pythium, Phytophthora) and molds (Sclerotinia or white mold, Botrytis or gray mold).

Damping off spreads rapidly.1 If you spot signs of damping off, remove those seedlings immediately. It will spread. Then spray cinnamon water on unaffected seedings. [Note: Cinnamon has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties. Stir some cinnamon into warm water; steep overnight; strain through a coffee filter, put into a spray bottle. You spray this on plants.]

Good news!!!

Damping off only affects seedlings. If you can get them past the seedling stage, they’re safe.

To start again Get rid of all affected soil. Follow these prevention practices: --Use a sterile potting mix, --Start with clean pots. If reusing pots, sterilize in 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.

--Plant your seeds at the proper depth –leave room between them for air circulation.

--Water seedlings from the bottom.

--Apply a light dusting of cinnamon on the soil surface --Add a thin coating of sand or gravel on top of the potting soil, to keep the surface relatively dry.

--Don’t overwater your seedlings --Give seedlings plenty of heat and light, These tips will not cure damping off once it has started, but they will give you an edge to prevent it from happening. Sadly, sometimes you have to just start over. There is saying “live and learn” so we all do - especially when gardening. Take precautions next time.

Stories behind Hendricks County Place Names

How (and Why) High Bridge Got Its Name

This is the view looking north from the top of the bridge and what a car headed in that direction would have seen when it came to oncoming traffic. The deteriation of the road can be seen on both sides. At the time, John Rutlege was living in the house seen in the upper right of the picture.

Our query about High Bridge in last week’s issue was quickly answered by John Rutledge, who included photos and recollections of the bridge and its replacement.

The bridge was one of a series of concrete structures built in the early 1900’s, when the railroad changed from a single to a double track. This included the concrete arch bridges and Avon and at Danville that are still in use today.

Because the bridges needed to be built perpendicular to the tracks, some of the structures had to have a sharp curve where the road connected, resulting in the situartion at Hig Bridge.

High Bridge was built in 1907, according to the date imprinted on the bridge. By 1908, it had already acquired its nickname and The Republican was receiving news from the High Bridge correspondent. A sampling of the news from High Bridge on July 11, 1908 included: “Born to Dave Wells and wife, an eleven pound son.” “Miss Nettie Byrd, of Indianapolis, visitied home folks, Sunday.” and “Remember the ice cream festival at Reno, the 20th.”

Looking to the southwest, the long span of the bridge can be seen. ______________________________________________________________________

The replacement bridge was built in 1983. This view shows the careful demolition of the earlier bridge after the completion of the new one. ______________________________________________________________________

In his email, John mentions a similar bridge situation in Danville. The bridge south of town on SR 39 also had a very sharp curve on the south side approach “and was the cause of many a backup of traffic when semi drivers would jackknife trying to negotiate that bridge. I know backups of over a half mile long on the southside. On the northside traffic would simply use either Mackey road or Cartersburg road to get around. That “blind approach” bridge was replaced with a new one in 2012. The picture above shows the approach to the old bridge on the left and the new bridge under construction to the right.

The SR 39 bridge, along with the overhead bridge on the Cartersburg Road to the east, and the bridge at Mackey Road to the west, were built during the same time span as High Bridge, but didn’t aquire a nickname. Instead, they were called by the name of the property owner - from east to west: the Courtney Bridge; the Crawford Bridge, and the Hawkins Bridge.

A Bark From the Past: Henry [ Editor’s Note: The Republican’s first four-footed correspondent was Henry.

A mixed breed rescue dog, Henry would make observations about being a dog in a small town. The articles have been languishing in the computer’s memory and we thought a new audience might enjoy some canine commentary.]

My humans have started a compost pile just outside the fence of our yard. They are really serious about a garden this year, and they’re reading books on how to raise veggies. And the books say there has to be a compost pile. I saw what my male was putting on the pile the other day. It just looks like garbage to me. He had some lettuce leaves, egg shells, coffee grounds, potato peelings, yuuchh! And I saw him dumping a load of rabbit poop onto it yesterday. I heard him tell his mate that the books say not to use dog poop. I don’t know Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

— Christopher Morley

_____________________

why not. I can’t imagine rabbit poop being any better than our poop to put on the garden. It doesn’t taste nearly as good. Oh, well.

The place they want to put this garden is just outside the back yard fence.

But, they made one booboo. They had a really nice board fence put up between our yard and the neighbor’s yard. There are a couple of big stumps where they want the garden, and the stumps have to come out.

But with the fence there, the tree guy can’t get his stump chewer-upper in.

So, my humans are taking the stumps out all by them-

selves, one little piece at a time. My male bought a saw that growls and eats chains. They’re using it and a shovel and an ax to whack with. They usually wind up talking really loud to each other about the best way to get the next piece out. I don’t think the stump chewer-upper would have been nearly this much fun to watch.

Hey, I have a sometimes new little sister! Her name is Bella. She’s a white AmStaff mix and she’s a doll, very shy and timid.

I don’t know why anyone would call AmStaffs “pit bulls.” They’re just like the rest of us dogs. They can be trained to be mean, but they can also be trained to be gentle. Bella is very gentle. She’s going to be with us till her human finds a place to live that lets dogs live there, too. How cool!

Thought for the Day: Some people are repulsed by the idea of eating tongue because of where it’s been.

But they eat eggs. Go figure.

You can have no wise laws nor free enforcement of wise laws unless there is free expression of the wisdom of the people -- and, alas, their folly with it. But if there is freedom, folly will die of its own poison, and the wisdom will survive.

Rock Steady Boxing Asks Community to Move

By Melissa Gibson According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, nearly 1 million Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease as of 2020. More than 10 million have been diagnosed worldwide.

The disease is a degenerative movement disorder, causing motor skills, balance, speech and sensory function decline.

Rock Steady Boxing is the first gym in the country dedicated to fighting Parkinson’s and supporting individuals with the disease and next month, they’re asking the community to rally behind friends and family to support the cause.

“I feel like everyone knows someone with Parkinson’s,” said Allison Foxen, board member and coach at Rock Steady Boxing. “We don’t really know what causes it, but researchers are working hard and believe there are some environmental factors. We are so fortunate that Rock Steady Headquarters are here in Indianapolis and we have

great partnerships with IU Health and others locally, so we know we have excellent researchers working on it.”

In honor of Parkinson’s Awareness Month, Rock Steady Boxing is initiating Month to Move. In an effort to engage the community, participants can visit https://runsignup. com/Race/IN/Brownsburg/MonthtoMove and register for one event or a bundle to donate toward the cause and improve your own health and the health of your family.

Options include a virtual one-mile run/walk, 5K run/ walk, 10k run/walk or a month-long exercise challenge.

“Many people enjoy a 5k or race but with COVID, we thought a virtual challenge was a good idea. We want to educate people about Parkinson’s, but we also want to encourage our boxers. So, we want to raise money to honor the boxers and people you know that have or had Parkinson’s disease and support the gym,” Foxen said.

The mission behind Rock Steady is to fight the progressive disease with specific exercise and movement to prolong daily living activities.

Laser Technology Business Locates in Brownsburg

SurClean, Inc. will be calling Brownsburg home to its woman-owned laser technology business.

SurClean brings its years of laser industry expertise to solve coating removal challenges, from the industrial to the military.

Susan L. Sprentall, President and CEO of SurClean, described her laser technology saying, “Our laser system replaces current methods of chemical, abrasive, and water blasting. Laser ablation, also known as laser surface prep, is an emerging technology offering a very precise, safe, energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way to maintain large assets. This technology is being driven by the U.S. Department of Defense and supported by BlueTech and CleanTech organizations.” Ms. Sprentall selected Indiana and specifically Brownsburg as the location of her company based on its proximity to major universities, the Indianapolis International Airport, and Department of Defense research centers, combined with the high quality of life and strong local community support.

“With our strong manufacturing sector and full range of defense assets, Indiana is the perfect place for SurClean to call home,” said Interim Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Staton. “Not only is SurClean’s innovative technology strengthening Indiana’s economy, it’s also providing Hoosiers with the jobs of tomorrow.”

“We are elated to welcome SurClean, Inc. to Brownsburg,” said Brownsburg Town Council President, Travis Tschaenn. “SurClean brings a unique technology and good-paying jobs to our local economy.”

SurClean will be located in Brownsburg, Indiana, at 475 Northpoint Circle, #400. Ms. Sprentall plans to invest approximately $1.3 million in personal property equipment and has projected the creation of 35 jobs at an average of $28.00 per hour.

The Town of Brownsburg has offered up to $15,000 in lease assistance through its unique Tenant Lease Assistance Incentive program.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered SurClean Inc. up to $350,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s plans to create up to 35 new jobs by the end of 2024. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired.

A Charitable Bequest?

A charitable bequest is one of the easiest and most flexible ways that you can leave a gift to our community. A bequest allows you to create a lasting impact and support the causes you care about after you’re gone.

How to make a bequest? With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends and the Hendricks County Community Foundation as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form. You can also discuss your goals with us and we can help craft the impact you desire.

Page 9 “Rock Steady Boxing has done a great job of saying ‘you don’t have to hide if you have Parkinson’s. Let’s do something about it, stay active and keep moving’,” Foxen said.

Studies show working out at a higher intensity helps decrease some of the tremors associated with Parkinson’s and helps slow the progressive onset.

Many patients are referred to Rock Steady through their neurologists and Foxen says they work with clients who were recently diagnosed to those that have been living with Parkinson’s for years. The earlier the diagnosis, the more that can be done through physical therapy and workouts like Rock Steady provides.

Not only is the physical aspect helpful, but clients receive emotional support from peers and community supporters through activities like Month to Move.

“I think our boxers are always taken aback,” Foxen said. “The group atmosphere is so empowering and you see the same people come to class after class. These clients can talk about their medicines and their neurologists – it becomes such a social support.”

“When we do things like Month to Move, we’re getting the word out to the community, we’re engaging them and we’re telling our boxers, ‘We want to fight for you’,” Foxen added.

Rock Steady Boxing classes are available throughout facilities across the state. Visit https://rocksteadyboxing. org/find-a-class/ and/or https://runsignup.com/Race/IN/ Brownsburg/MonthtoMove to register to get your own family moving and support boxers with Parkinson’s.

A bequest can be structured in many ways to benefit family, friends and the community you care about. Ways to accomplish your goals include a bequest to HCCF in your will or revocable trust, making HCCF a beneficiary of your retirement account, or naming HCCF as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

A bequest may be made for a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount or a specific asset, or a a gift from the balance or residue of your estate. We have sample bequest language on our website that you can share with your attorney.

It doesn’t matter what assets you have or how large your estate is. Your bequest can make a positive impact on the future of our community!

In addition to establishing your lasting legacy, a gift by bequest allows you to continue to use the assets during your lifetime. You also have the ability to revoke or change your bequest at any time while you are living. You can create the lasting legacy you desire.

Obituaries

(M o r e O b i t u a r i e s DR. RUTH HUFFMAN HINE, a notable educator, teacher, and author, who influenced the field of adult education and literacy in the State of Indiana, as well as nationally over the past 40 years, died on 24 March 2021 at the Avon Health and Rehabilitation Center in Avon, Indiana. She was 95.

Dr. Huffman Hine began her work in the formative discipline of adult education in 1975 with an appointment as Director of Adult Basic Education in the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township. The township’s program began in 1971 after the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Adult Education Act of 1966 codified a national commitment to provide the opportunity for adults to achieve their potential in society. In Wayne Township, Dr. Huffman Hine served as both educator and administrator and shaped local and state policy and strategy with her prolific writing and engagement in the field. Concluding a twenty-year tenure in the township upon her retirement in 1995, Dr. Huffman Hine continued her influence on education and literacy through her writing and through local and national affiliations, including the American Association for Adult & Continuing Education, the Indiana Council of Adult Education Administrators, Phi Delta Kappa International, Delta Kappa Gamma International, and the Indianapolis Marion County Literacy Coalition.

The bucolic countryside, small village life, and the dream of dairy farming on rich farmland brought Joseph and Bess Carson from Spencer, Indiana to Roachdale, Indiana, a community of 800, some 35 miles west of Indianapolis, where they established a family farm that is still in existence. Descendants of Daniel Carson, who emigrated from Tyrone County, Northern Ireland to the United States in 1830, traveled from the port of entry in Baltimore, settling in Pennsylvania and Ohio before arriving in Indiana. One of four children, Ruth Carson was born to Joseph Carson and Bessie Taylor in 1925 and, with a dream of being a teacher, graduated from Roachdale High School in 1943. She was the last surviving member of the 1943 class of 25 students.

As the city of Indianapolis was growing in economic importance to the country and the war effort, Ms. Carson moved from Roachdale to Indianapolis to work and save money for college. In an administrative position, she worked for the Indiana Condensed Milk Company from 1943 to 1945. The company, at this time, was under military supervision supporting the war effort by manufacturing and delivering the brand “Wilson Evaporated Milk” in khaki colored cans to troops deployed overseas.

With the support of her family and community, Ms. Carson departed Indianapolis and the company in 1945, matriculating at Olivet Nazarene College, in Bourbonnais, Illinois, to pursue her dreams of becoming a teacher. An unfortunate case of appendicitis caused her to delay her academic endeavors after finishing two years of academic study. She returned to Indianapolis in 1947, resuming her work for the Indiana Milk Company, and married Cecil N. Huffman that year. They had four children between 1948 and 1960, before she resumed her academic studies.

Even with her commitment to family life, her passion for teaching and education was indissoluble as she began working in Wayne Township and Decatur Township, teaching homebound students, substitute teaching, and working as an instructor in reading. She returned to her academic work at Indiana Central College, Indianapolis, earning an Associate’s degree in Fine Arts in 1967, and then proceeded to Butler University in Indianapolis, where she graduated in 1971 with a BS in Education. After accepting a position as Director of Adult Education for Wayne Township, Dr. Huffman Hine continued academic work at Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana, receiving an Master of Arts in Education in 1978. After retirement in 1995 at 70 years old, she acted on her philosophy of life-long learning by earning a Ph.D. in Educational Administration at Greenwich University, Hilo, Hawaii (now Akamai University), experimenting in one of the early online doctoral programs. Her dissertation, Needs of Volunteer Tutors in Adult Basic Education, Wayne Township, 1991-1993 was published in

on

P a g e 16–)

1995. She continued to be on the leading edge of online education advising and working with the leadership, faculty, and students of Akamai University, an emerging non-profit online institution.

Dr. Huffman Hine’s tenure as Director of Adult Education for Wayne Township during the years 1975 to 1995 was marked by rapid growth, and an evolving philosophy of education for adult students requiring remedial or enhanced skills in an economic environment of increasing demands. Nearly 16,000 students passed through the doors of the center under her 20 years of leadership.

Her township experience throughout the years provided an opportunity to influence policy and direction at the state level as she worked with the Indiana Department of Education on the future of Adult Education. She was an Indiana Governor appointee on the Indiana Adult Literacy sub-committee and served as an Indiana Adult Basic Education Evaluation Committee member, advancing the direction and policy of education and literacy in the state.

As a delegate to a West German Adult Education Committee in 1981, she was instrumental in sharing state policies and procedures with senior educators in West Germany and improving state procedures from knowledge learned from the international consortium.

A prolific writer, Dr. Huffman Hine authored numerous professional essays and articles during her career. On her 80th birthday in 2005, she published The Legacy of Daniel Carson from Ireland to Indiana which traced her family’s immigration from Northern Ireland to the United States. She is also the author of a 1997 children’s book, It Happened on a Pond, and over 30 short stories.

Dr. Huffman Hine attended Harvest Missionary Baptist Church in Avon for many years.

She is survived by two daughters, Paulette Walker of Avon, and Annette Hartzell of Indianapolis, and a son, L. Keith Huffman of Baltimore, Maryland, as well as seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Her husband of 37 years, Joseph Hine, passed away in 2012. ___________________________________________________ OLGA “KAY” NARDI passed away on March 22, 2021. Kay was born in Decatur, Ill., to Frances and Willard (Bill) Gibson. She graduated from Washington High School in 1960. That same year she married Ronald Nardi. They resided in Indianapolis, moving to Hendricks County in 1975.

Ronnie worked the nightshift at Allisons and Kay was an impeccable homemaker.

They retired to Cape Coral, Florida in 1993, where Kay volunteered at the local hospital. Ron and Kay returned to Indiana in 2008 residing in Pittsboro where Kay participated in card clubs in Quail Creek and took a trip to Italy with her daughter, Kim.

RICHARD “Ric” R. McCOY, 59, of Plainfield, passed away March 17, 2021. He was born September 3, 1961 in Indianapolis. He was a graduate of Plainfield High School Class of 1979. Ric was a true extrovert. He never met a stranger and loved conversing with anyone and everyone. This came in handy as he made a career for himself in auto sales. He was well known around the Indy area, as he spent time managing stores for Andy Mohr, Ed Martin, and Hubler Automotive.

Ric was an avid racing fan. He attended his first Indy 500 as a young child and proceeded to attend 46 races in a row. He loved spending time at the track and always managed to get himself down into the pits and in the middle of all the action. He always came home with endless photos and epic stories. Ric was an adventurer who loved to travel and experience new places and things, all while documenting everything with his camera.

He had a giant soft spot for dogs and loved his Weimaraners.

Many will also remember his sense of humor. He never missed a moment for a joke and took pride in pranking his children as often as possible. On weekends he loved spending time around the pool with his family and dogs, taking rides on his Harley, and Sunday couch naps. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. As he would say, “Godspeed!”

Ric is survived by his wife, Jennifer J. (Rash) McCoy; his father, Donald R (mother, Cheryl) McCoy; mother, Shirley A. (Ross) McCoy; 4 daughters, Megan E. McCoy, Morgan L. McCoy, Marin Y. McCoy, and Meisyn A. McCoy; two half-sisters, Tara K. (Samantha) Akers and Cathy Hoffmeister; and a nephew, Ki DeRossett.

A Memorial Visitation took place March 30, at the Plainfield United Methodist Church. Donations can be made to the Love without Boundaries foundation. Website: Lovewithoutboundaries.com Arrangements by Hampton-Gentry Funeral Home, Plainfield. ___________________________________________________ GLEN “PATRICK” CISSELL, 62, of Pittsboro, passed away on March 22, 2021.

Patrick was born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Robert and Donna Cissell. He and his brother, Keith, spent the summers with their aunts and uncles on the family farm in Kentucky.

In 1975, he became a father to son, Bernard Cissell, which he proudly named after his Uncle Bernard. In his early adulthood, he worked for several race teams and continued to share his love of racing with anyone that was willing to listen.

On March 20, 1993 he married his loving wife, Martha Cissell, and gained two additional children, Sara and Jordan. He spent his days working, going to Sara’s sporting events, taking his family racing, hunting, fishing, teaching the kids how to drive, and life lessons among many other things.

In 2009 he walked Sara down the aisle and gained a son-inlaw, David. His two grandkids, Clark and Mallory, were the light of his life.

On August 1, 2019, after 40 years of service as an inspector, he retired from Rolls Royce-Allison.

He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and race fan. He was a member of Pheasants Forever Coal Creek Chapter where he received the Aldo Leopold Conservation award for his work on habitat conservation. He was also a member of the Amo Conservation Bird Dog Club, Yagger Conservation Club, and Brownsburg Conservation Club. In May of 2019, he became a member of the 200 mph club at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway after riding with a racing hero, Mario Andretti.

Patrick is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Donna Cissell, and his brother, Mark Cissell.

He is survived by his wife, Martha Cissell (Links), brother Keith Cissell, son Bernard Cissell (Brian Loy), daughter Sara Cosgray (David), son Jordan Davison, and two grandchildren, Clark and Mallory Cosgray.

A memorial mass service was performed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on March 29. Patrick was a huge advocate of giving to others; please make memorial contributions to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

JANICE K. HARDWICK, 81, of Danville, passed away on March 24, 2021.

She was born on November 19, 1939 in Linton, Indiana, to the late Charles and Lillian (Cunningham) Robertson. Janice married Dencil Hardwick who preceded her in death in 2010.

She was an active member of her church the First Assembly of God in Danville.

Janice worked for the Hendricks County Fairgrounds-Purdue Extension office for over 25 years, where she retired as an executive assistant.

Survivors include her sons, Timothy L. Franklin (Marcia) of Danville, Kenny (Suzan) Franklin of Avon, Rodney L. Franklin of Haines City, Fla., and Allen L. Franklin (Glenda) of Puyallup, Wash..; daughter, Ginny Berkshire (Byron) of Logansport; brother, Charles R. “Ronnie” Robertson (Wyvonna) of Danville; grandchildren, Clayton Franklin (Melissa), Cody Franklin (Brittany), Brandi Franklin, Michele Myers (Brian), Scott Franklin, Samantha Franklin (Ryan Hansel), Delaney Franklin, Sydney Franklin, Preston Franklin, Christopher Weiand (Paula Fergus), Robert Weiand and several great grandchildren.

She was born December 26, 1943 to the late Amos and Aleen (Johnson) Lee in Red Boiling Springs, Tenn. She was an uniform agent for ATA for 20 years retiring in 2008.

She was a member of Plainfield Christian Church. Jan was a woman of strong faith, loved Jesus, her family and her church.

She was the youngest of 13 children. She grew up in Indianapolis and graduated from Washington High School. She met the man of her dreams, Tim, at work, as a young lady. She and her blue bikini started showing up at the pool where he was a lifeguard and they soon started their beautiful life together. She eventually started working her dream job at American Trans Air (ATA) which allowed her to travel to many different places.

Any beach destination was her favorite and helped her keep a year-round suntan. Her other loves included: chocolate, WalMart, Danielle Steele books, reruns of Friends and As Seen On TV products. She spent many years of her free time at softball games for all of her family members and any other sport her kids and grandkids were involved in. Christmas and birthdays were over the top for her and gave her the opportunity to spoil and love her family very generously. She lived her faith every day in every way and guided her family and others to the love of Christ.

Jan is survived by her husband, Timothy D. Fisher; a son, Brian (Cindy) Fisher; three daughters, Jill D. (Stacy) Fulk, Paula D. (J.B.) Landis and Rhonda (Art) Schlangen; a sister, Carolyn (Larry) Stipe; 5 grandchildren, Joel (Rain) Fisher, Luke Fisher, Olivia Fisher, Carter Fulk, and Chloe Fulk; and two great grandchildren, Isabella Maggard and Mckenzie Ward.

She was preceded in death by brothers Don and Bernard Meunier and sister Wilma Alexander.

A devout Catholic, she could often be seen walking to Mass several days a week. Her signature “Nanny Dance” forever etched in memories as the best “see you later” to ever grace this world She was well-known for her dedication to reminding everyone of “The 3 R’s – Respect, Religion, and Responsibility.”

She crossed the world more than 30 times visiting “the cousins” in Italy.

She leaves behind small pieces of herself - a great-granddaughter that bears her name, a turn of phrase permanently etched into daily conversation, a daily glass of wine for your health, wanderlust, anxiety for being late to anything, a perspective on life that can’t be unsewn. As she always reminded us “it’s not goodbye, it’s I’ll see you later”.

Funeral Service Mass was celebrated Monday, March 29, at St. Malachy Catholic Church with burial following in St. Malachy Cemetery. Arrangements: Matthews Mortuary, Brownsburg. ___________________________________________________

BOB RICHARDSON passed on March 23, 2021. Bob’s final days were spent surrounded by adoring family and generous caregivers.

Robert Clarence Richardson entered the world November 25, 1932, in Chrisman, Illinois, the son of Clarence and Luella Peacock Richardson. He grew up in Hendricks County, graduating from Avon High School in 1951. He married his high school sweetheart, JoAnn Jones, who remained his sweetheart for the next seventy plus years.

Bob served in the Army and was stationed in Germany from 1953-1955, and then attended Purdue University. He became an expert tool and die maker, which served him well in Indianapolis area shops and in self-owned businesses in Hendricks County.

He retired from the Ransburg Corp. in 1995.

Bob valued hard work. He embodied it and appreciated it in others. He possessed a quiet, curious spirit, reminiscent of his Society of Friends upbringing. He was a man of few words but many thoughts—always analyzing a new and better tool or method, incessantly interested in new developments in the world.

Bob loved his garden, and many benefited from the combination of his green thumb and generous heart. He was a believer, a member of the Brownsburg Church of Christ since 1964. He lived simply, a day at a time between the ground and God. And, in the end, when so much had been taken from him by dementia, his sense of humor, for better or worse, remained.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Toni; and siblings, Sandra Richardson and Mary Lou Kelley.

He is survived by his wife, JoAnn; daughters, Terri (Houston, Tex.) and Rachelle (Plainfield) ; a son, Randy (Kathy) (New Wilmington, Pa.); two brothers, Jim (Barbara) (Washington, Pa.) and Paul (Sharon) (Plainfield); five grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Due to COVID concerns, a private graveside service will be held on Saturday, March 27. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Baker Funeral Home, Danville, is in charge of arrangements.
