Farmers' Independent Telephone lines in use in county
Nearly all lines are connected and sharing between Indiana and the country continues without interruption. Six rural lines are active daily, with three-wire connections to Onberg Indiana and two-wire Creekside. The Farmers' Independent Telephone Company lists town and country subscribers as the network nears full connection in the Marshall building. A separate note covers patrons on the Garbleton line to Indiana and the Creekside line, and mentions ongoing work to finalize underground connections and expand the subscriber list. Additionally, neighbors aid Katherine Luther in West Wheatfield township by furnishing a new home and provisions.
