Oldest Auburn resident recalls city’s growth since 1842
A. J. Ralston, raised in Ohio, has lived in Auburn, Indiana for more than sixty nine years since December 12, 1842. He helped finish DeKalb county’s first courthouse and served as deputy sheriff, later running a grain and grocery business. Now nearing his golden wedding with Hadessa J. George Ralston, he remains a vital local chronicle of Auburn’s evolution and its early settlers.
