Contrition and notices from Napoleon township era
A garbled 19th century column recounts personal missteps and social notices. It notes Michael Cramer in drink, a Philadelphia and New York shopping trip for fall goods, a password change for encampment attendees, Labor Day holiday proclamations, a Bell telephone patent expiry, corn measurement, child welfare actions, a Defiance death of Turner, local school youth counts, a church dedication, and Toledo Exposition previews with church programs and postal notices.
Plant and Damages Case In McClure Boom
During the McClure boom Carl Wolff induced Jeremiah Glees to remove his plant to McClure and mortgaged the land for operation. The plant was moved to a village site and later used in Wolff’s planing mill for motive power. Glees claims the plant is within Swigart’s assignment and seeks one hundred dollars damages in a replevin suit filed with Clerk Brown. The sheriff levied the goods and delivered them to the plaintiff, with September term court to decide.
