THEO. THIMLAR WAS 52Fifty-two years ago last Saturday there were great doings in the Thim-lar family. Just that long ago. Theodore Thimlar was brought into the realm of things that are and he has been an active factor ever since. He took on a good growth and acquired sturdy habits in youthful days. Later he developed a desire for a patch or two of ground and that desire hacked up by an incessant effort in the right direction made him the possessor of half a dozen of the best farms within the State's borders.Because of his persevering spirit and his unoflicious character, he counts his friends by scores. For that reason, lip was unable to keep the matter of a birthday anniversary a secret for where one forgot, another remembered. He was out doing some late feeding and had almost forgotten his own anniversary. Upon returning to the house he walked leisurely into the room but was startled when he saw it tilled with friends who had called to do him honor. He took inmey fred£UStNot inst oth-sign row out and fifty red foes ing; uid-nal-nutjthe situation philosophically and set about at once to make his unexpected guests enjoy themselves. Fun that was enjoyed alike by young and old characterized the evening and when supper was announced at a late hour, only the excellence of what was in store prompted them to give up the sport. After supper a short time was spent in conversation and then followed the departure of the guests. Those present were: Mr. And Mrs. Ben Barva, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Barva, Mr. and Mrs. Lyman Lindsly, of Fort Wayne; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thimlar, Mr. and Mrs. John Thimlar and Mr. and Mrs. Otis Thimlar of Milan Center; Mr. and Mrs. Siler and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Thimlar, and Messrs Thomas Finan, Theodore Eggeman, Barney Schonetield, Chas.
