84 Years Young Shafer Visits Indiana Family
Issac Shafer of St. Louis arrives in Indiana for an extended visit with James Shera and family on North Meridian street. At 84, he is one of two surviving Shafer siblings from a family of eleven, many preachers and church leaders, and he credits cheerfulness and health for his youthfulness. He still feels half his age and embodies the poem’s idea that age depends on temperament, not years.

Firm believers advocate concrete roads after Detroit Columbus tours
Raymond Gocenour and TD J Kimmell toured Detroit and Columbus to study concrete road projects under the three mile gravel road law for Thorntown. They noted high durability and low upkeep, citing Wayne County’s eighties miles of concrete roads and costs of 12 000 to 16 000 dollars per mile, depending on width, with Michigan state funding partial. They concluded concrete is the best option for Thorntown, estimating a 50 000 to 60 000 dollar complete street improvement.
