Kirker Covered Bridge gets a ‘Brown Goose’ facelift BY TOM CROSS ADAMS COUNTY TRAVEL AND VISITORS BUREAU The Adams County Travel and Visitors Bureau (ACTVB) recently had the Kirker Covered Bridge repainted and added a quilt square to the historic covered bridge. Built in 1890, the Kirker Bridge on St. Rt. 136, south of West Union, was restored in 2010 by the ACTVB. The bridge, while still structurally sound, needed a fresh coat of paint and some dressing up. “The Travel and Visitors Bureau has always recognized the tourism value in Adams County’s covered

bridges and feels strongly that, in the best interest of tourism and the community, these historic bridges need to be maintained and kept in good repair,” said Tom Cross, Director of Tourism. Charles Kirker, a descendant of Governor Thomas Kirker, whom the bridge is named after, picked out the quilt square, the "Brown Goose", which was one of the original quilt squares featured in Adams County's "Clothesline of Quilts" but had since been taken down. Neil Miller painted the quilt square, while Allen and Marcus Miller painted the bridge.

The colors of the quilt are as close to the original as possible. The original was once hanging on the side of a barn on Eckmansville Road. Donna Sue Groves, whose quilt idea sparked a nation-wide phenomenon, when informed of the plans to place the Brown Goose quilt square on the Kirker Bridge, said in an email to the ACTVB, “I am thrilled to hear about Brown Goose. The covered bridge is a perfect spot. Mother would be pleased. The colors are perfect for the bridge, too.” According to history the

Village of Rome Financial Records "Unauditable" PRESS RELEASE Auditor of State Dave Yost placed the Village of Rome (Adams County) on the "unauditable list" this week after it failed to provide any financial records necessary to complete an audit. To initiate the regular financial audit of the Village of Rome for the period Jan. 1, 2014 through Dec. 31, 2015, the Auditor of State's office made numerous attempts to obtain the records needed to complete the audit. The village failed to make any of the necessary records available. While attempting to contact village officials, auditors discovered that both the Mayor and Village Clerk positions are vacant. Additionally, the Adams County Board of Elections website lists four appointed council members, but the only phone number provided was disconnected. The Adams County Auditor's office informed auditors that the village hired an individual to maintain its records. However, she was unable to provide any records to auditors and said she did not know who the village council members were.

"It's tough to start an audit when you can't even find the people in charge," Auditor Yost said, but it's even harder when they don't provide any records." In a letter to the village, the Auditor of State's office provided a list of records required to complete the audit. Within 90 days of the date of the letter, the village must revise its financial records and provide the necessary data. Failure to bring accounts, records, and reports to an auditable condition may result in legal action, including the possibility of the attorney general issuing a subpoena to village officials to explain the condition of records. The attorney general may also file suit to compel the village to prepare and/or produce the required information. The Auditor of State's Local Government Section (LGS) is available to assist the village in bringing records to an auditable condition. LGS provides a wide variety of services to local governments, including reconstructing financial records and aid in the reconciliation of books. An entity is removed from the "unauditable" list once the audit is completed and released to the public.

Live hard because you never know Still looking for a special home pating the negative; "But adventure, for passion. Gladys is 89 years old and

West Union People’s Defender

has resided in a nursing home for over a year. We admitted her to Hospice for congestive heart failure and failure to thrive. She is a retired Licensed Practical Nurse who "loved" her profession. We both worked at Mercy Hospital in the seventies, when nurses had time to offer patients back rubs every night. Gladys also enjoyed flower gardening and adopted the pansy as her favorite flower. She enjoyed reading. According to her daughterin-law, Becky, "It wasn't unusual for her to read a book a day." Gladys proclaimed, "Reading expands our horizons and imaginations. I loved to read. Where would we be if we couldn't read?" But Gladys isn't able to read now. My visits are typically brief because of Gladys' recurrent bouts of nausea and fatigue. She admits that it's difficult, but she remains poised and pleasant despite her condition. I visited Gladys on one of her good days several months ago. The visit made a lasting impression on me and I believe it will on you also. We talked about the stages of life and the developmental challenges of each stage and how our values and goals change over time. We talked about the universal human need and instinct for

Gladys reflected, "Here I am in a bad kind of adventure, the kind I don't LOREN HARDIN like. If STRAIGHT PATHS you'd asked me several years ago if I thought I'd end up in this shape I would have said 'No way!' We just don't think like that. But its better that we don't know or we'd live too carefully. We wouldn't live at all. People need to live hard because this just might be forced upon them some day." Gladys' words echo the advice given by wise King Solomon in the 11th and 12th chapters of the Book of Ecclesiastes. He exhorts us to risk; "Cast your bread upon the waters." This was a metaphorical expression used by grain merchants of seaport towns; load your grain; set sail; get out of the harbor. In other words, "nothing ventured, nothing gained." He also warns us of living too carefully. "He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap." How many opportunities have we regretfully talked ourselves out of by antici-

what if?" Solomon tells us that we'll never know until we try. "In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good." Paul Tournier, a Swiss physician, in his book "The Adventure of Living" warns us of living too carefully: "There are people who go on indefinitely preparing for life instead of living it, taking endless precautions. The man with the sort of mind that sees both sides of every problem, who analyzes his own feelings and never permits his passions to obscure his judgment, who refuses to commit himself until he is sure, such a man represses his instinct for adventure and remains paralyzed in an endless perplexity. Are not the decisive moments of our lives those in which we make a choice?" So, in Gladys' words, let's choose to "live hard" today, for we are not guaranteed tomorrow. For when it's all said and done, it won't be the things we did that we'll regret, but the things we didn't do.

Early morning car crash near Peebles

Minor driver escapes without serious injury BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE’S DEFENDER

A 16- year old boy escaped serious injury early Sunday morning, Sept. 18, in a vehicle crash near Peebles.

Do you know someone who has fallen or who is afraid of falling? Would you like to help people manage their concerns about falls and increase their physical activity? The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is looking for community coaches to assist with facilitating its falls management program entitled “Matter of Balance.� Volunteer coaches will continue to support the classes in their individual communities after they complete training through the AAA7. An upcoming coaches training will be held in Georgetown (Brown County) for those interested in serving as a volunteer coach in their community. Currently, the AAA7 is recruiting coaches for Matter of Balance in all ten of the counties they serve which includes Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Matter of Balance emphasizes practical strategies to manage falls. Participants in the class learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength. Coaches for Matter of Balance help participants become more confident about managing falls and help participants identify ways to reduce falls. In addition, coaches lead exercise to help participants increase their strength and balance. Coaches should have good communication and interpersonal skills; exhibit enthusiasm, dependability and a willingness to lead small groups of older adults; and have the ability to lead low to moderate level exercise. Once trained, coaches can schedule their classes for twice a

BY FAYE MAHAFFEY OSUE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER

A recent question submitted to the OSUE Brown County Master Gardener’s Helpline was, “Can I plant a Buckeye nut and grow a tree?” The client then shared that there had been several unsuccessful attempts in the past and simply wondered if he was leaving out any important steps. After a little research, I found some information on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website about Buckeye trees. Author Laura Jones’ Natural and cultural history facts about the Ohio buckeye include: 1. It’s one of six species of buckeye trees that grow in North America. 2. Two buckeye species are native to our state: the Ohio and the yellow. 3. Its botanical name is Aesculus glabra. 4. Some people believe carrying around a buckeye seed in the pocket wards off rheumatism. 5. The Buckeye name became a synonym for Ohioans during the 1840 presidential campaign of native son William Henry Harrison. The old general’s campaign symbol was a log cabin built from buckeye timber and decorated with strings of buckeye nuts. He won, and today is honored as one of seven “Buckeyes” elected President of the United States. 6. The Ohio buckeye tree became our state symbol in 1953, during the 150th anniversary of statehood.

The Ohio buckeye tree became our state symbol in 1953, during the 150th anniversary of statehood. recently a buckeye seed has fallen to the ground, experts with the Ohio Division of Forestry, suggest soaking your recently collected buckeyes in water for two to four hours before planting. Seeds should be planted in loose, well-worked soil about six inches apart, and at a depth twice the diameter of the seed. It won’t hurt to plant more buckeyes than you want, since only half are likely to germinate. To help hold the soil in place, put two to three inches of mulch, straw or well-rotted sawdust over the planting. Check the soil once a week, adding just enough water to keep it moist. If there are squirrels in the neighborhood, they’ll likely dig up the seeds. It is always a race at my house to see who can scoop up the buckeyes first. To discourage their scavenging, place a screen mesh over the planted seeds before covering them with mulch. Remove the screen and mulch in early spring after the ground thaws. (Even then I have to protect my seedlings by placing pots in my fenced-in “rabbit patch”.) Once the seeds have

germinated in the spring, begin applying enough water to maintain about one inch per week. During the first season, lightly fertilize in April and again in June. Young buckeye trees prefer partially shaded conditions. You can transplant your seedling to a sunnier location the first spring after germination. Be sure to do so before it leafs out, and don’t wait more than two years to transplant. Depending on growing conditions, Ohio buckeye trees will begin producing nuts in five to 10 years. If you are in a hurry to harvest nuts from your own Ohio buckeye tree, you might consider skipping the seed-planting process and head straight to a local garden center. Fall is a great time to plant a tree. Just be sure it is well watered before our first ground “freeze”. Remember the saying, “A good time to plant a tree was yesterday, the best time is today.” Can it really be time for the Brown County Fair?

Tom Cross, ACTVB Director, to receive ODNR Cardinal Award LOCAL NEWS

West Union People’s Defender

Champion of outdoor causes is recognized for his tireless efforts to preserve county resources BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

Tom Cross, Director of the Adams County Travel and Visitors Bureau, (ACTVB) has been selected to receive the Ohio Department of Natural Resource (ODNR) 2016 Cardinal Award. Each year the award is presented to three individuals or organizations who demonstrate exceptional awareness and concern for the ideals reflected in the

department’s mission statement: To ensure a balance between the wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. According to the ODNR, since 1971, past winners of the Cardinal Award have included volunteers, outdoor writers, educators, businesses, naturalists, farmers, biologists and outdoor sporting organizations. Upon receiving the award, Cross will join the ranks of such distinguished

notables as John Ruthven, Charles A. Eulett, Richard and Lucile Durrell, and the Ohio Nature Conservancy among many others who have made a positive impact on Ohio's natural resources. "I'm so pleased to have been chosen for this award,” said Cross. “It is truly a remarkable honor for an Adams County boy.” ODNR Director James Zehringer presented the award to Cross during a ceremony at the Malabar Farm State Park on Sept. 22. Under Cross' directorship, the ACTVB has tirelessly

promoted eco-tourism in Adams County. His work was instrumental in securing funding to build two canoe and kayak launches on Ohio Brush Creek, further advancing outdoor tourism opportunities in the county. In addition to serving as the ACTVB Director, Cross has been the outdoor columnist for The People's Defender for nearly 40 years. He is also the author of “Fishing Ohio”. The book, which touches on nearly every public fishing

spot and fishing opportunity found within the Buckeye State, has sold over 5,000 copies, and is currently in its third printing. It has been a solid fixture on Ohio's best sellers list since its publication in 2008. “I've been a fisherman, hunter, outdoor enthusiast all my life,” says Cross. “For years I have touted the outdoor experience through my children, my outdoor columns and my book, which allowed me to bring my love of fishing and the outdoors to many readers across Ohio.” Cross' work with the Adams County Travel Bureau promoting ecotourism has also contributed significantly to the growth

First half goal stands up for North Adams BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

Though there was soccer action on the field, the focus on Monday night at Peebles High School was more off-the field as the Lady Indians played host to the North Adams Lady Devils in Southern Hills Athletic Conference action. It was “Kickin' Cancer” Night at Peebles with both teams wearing special uniforms to honor two special people. Peebles wore dark blue shirts to honor Mr. Mike Germann, a staff member at PHS who was recently diagnosed with cancer, while the Lady Devils wore special camo shirts in honor of NAES student Drew Reid, who is in the midst of his own tough battle with the disease. Through an auction, concession sales, split the pot, and the sales of tshirts, the game, and fans from both teams, raised over $1,500 for Mr. Germann to use to defray medical expenses. When the two teams meet again on Oct. 1 in North Adams, the game will be a “Kicks For the Cure” game. On the field, the two girls teams played a very tight and well-contested 80 minutes of soccer, with a first-half goal for the Lady Devils holding up as they improved to 6-2-2 on the season with a 1-0 victory.

Peebles’ Yuki Ireton, center, attempts to clear the ball away for her own goal during girls soccer action from Monday afternoon at Peebles High School. The Lady Indians lost a tough one to visiting North Adams by a score of 1-0. “Tonight was the culmination of the hard work of the Peebles soccer teams,” said North Adams head coach Dave D'Avignon. “ Their efforts raised money to help one of their own.” On the field, the Lady Devils have been battling injuries right and left and they would not get through Monday's game without adding another to their long list. The only score of the game came at the 26:30 mark of the first half, and it came off the foot of North Adams' leading scorer Lakyn Hupp. Fullback Jordan Yoder cleared the ball out of her zone and ahead to Jordyn

Kell in the center of the midfield area. Kell then passed the ball forward to left wing Hupp, who while diving to the ground, managed to get off a low hard shot that got past the Peebles goalkeeper. That turned out to be the last shot that Hupp got off in the game as six minutes later, she went down with an ankle injury that sidelined her for the remainder of the contest. “It was nice that Lakyn left us with a goal before she left the game,” said Coach D'Avignon. “We have a few days off now so hopefully Lakyn and the rest of our M*A*S*H* unit will be back with us

dropping the first se to take the next three, all in tight battles. West Union took the match 15-25, 25-23, 2522, and in the final set 2521. “The girls decided that they wanted to shut the door tonight on a win and they did it,” said Coach McClanahan. 'We started out very slow and lost that first set, but we put our heads together and held up under pressure, coming from behind to go home with a win.” Statistically, the Lady Dragons were led at the net on Monday night by senior Kendall Gallowitz's nine kills, followed by Mackenzie Bickett with seven, Jaycee Baldwin with six, and Kiersten Rowe with four. Houston Adkins was also strong at the net with nine blocks with Gallowitz adding 6. At the service line, Baldwin fired off five aces with Rowe adding three.

The West Union girls were on the road again Tuesday night, this time traveling to Ripley to face the Lady Jays for the second time this season in SHAC play. The result was the same as their earlier Sept. 8 meeting, with the Lady Dragons again grabbing the victory, this time in straight sets, 25-17, 25-21, 25-16. “Our girls served really well tonight,” said Coach McClanahan. “We worked really well as a team and ran our sets like they should be. Alex Clark was huge for us, serving for 12 points in the match.” West Union again played well at the net, getting seven kills from Bickett, six from Baldwin, and five from Gallowitz. Besides her 12 points from the service line, Clark contributed four nice digs and the team was aided by six assists from Rowe in the setter position.

The Lady Dragons have played some close matches thus far and just not been able to close out those contests, but they did that convincingly in the wins over Northwest and Ripley.

She has worked hard at becoming a good setter and reached 1.000 assists midway through her junior season.” Early in the first set, the action went North Adams’ way as Brooklyn Stout served four straight point to give her team 6-2 lead. The Lady Hounds stayed close with service points from Sierra Thatcher, but the home team pulled away when Kendall racked up seven service points to stretch the lead to 16-5. A service ace from Manchester’s Abby McFarland kept the visitors alive, but with the score 18-9, Maddie Toole

stepped up to serve and closed the set with seven straight. The second set mirrored the first as the Lady Devils took an early lead, this time 9-2 behind the serves of Abby Campton, that included five aces. A nice McFarland block pulled Manchester within 9-5, but a roll of service points from Madison Jenkins gave her side a 17-6 advantage. Solid work on serve from McFarland and Katie Sandlin later rallied the Lady Hounds to within 18-13, but the Lady Devils hung on to post a 25-16 second set win.

This is how a rivalry is supposed to be, intense yet friendly. These girls have been playing soccer with and against each other since they were tiny. It is always a fun match

Warriors top North Adams 39-6 in first annual Keg Bowl BY WADE LINVILLE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Battling back from a 460 loss can be difficult, especially for a team's second ever varsity game in its debut season of high school football. For the Eastern Brown Warriors, bouncing back from their second straight loss required one of their hardest weeks of practice and building the confidence to succeed. The Warriors ventured to Freedom Field just outside of West Union on Friday, Sept. 16 to take on the North Adams Green Devils in the first annual Keg Bowl, claiming a 396 victory to mark their first win of the season and put a spoiler on North Adams' homecoming night. "All around, the whole effort was outstanding. You could see their confidence grow on every play," Warriors' head coach Chris Tomlin said following the win. "We had a hard week of practice, and after the win the boys knew their hard work had paid off."

North Adams running back James Coday (15) looks for running room around right end during the Devils’ 39-6 loss to Eastern Brown last Friday night at Freedom Field. The Warrior offense was unsuccessful on their first drive of the night with North Adams grabbling an interception, but a sturdy defense by the Eastern squad would force a turnover on downs for the Green Devils. Following the valiant stand by the Warrior defensive team, the Warrior offense was quickly on the move. Eastern’s senior running back Kyle Burbage took a

carry for a big gain to start off the drive, and the Warriors quickly made their way into North Adams' territory with a completed pass from freshman quarterback Keegan Collins to wide receiver Mason Gardner. Collins then hit wide receiver Alex Bolington with a bullet pass to move

the Warriors 13 yards closer to pay dirt at the North Adams' 27-yard line, but that's where the Warrior offense would stall on their second drive of the night, as Collins was sacked for a big loss to put the Warriors back at the North Adams' 40yard line with third down coming up and 20 yards to go. The Green Devil defense would hold the Warrior offense to a turnover on downs, taking over possession at their own 35-yard line. The Green Devils marched to the Warriors' 25-yard line behind some gutsy running by Collin Hesler, but it was another exceptional defensive stand by Eastern that held the Devils to fourth down

Boston College managed only 124 yards of offense in a 49–0 loss to Virginia Tech. Quarterback Patrick Towles, a graduate transfer from Kentucky, completed only 9-of-28 attempts for 80 yards. Jon Hilliman, the Eagles’ top offensive player, had two yards rushing on 10 carries.

with three yards to go. A tackle by Burbage would cut down the Devils shy of the first down marker, and the Warrior offense returned to the field to start their next drive of the game at their own 25yard line. The Eastern offense started off strong as they did in the previous drive with Collins completing a pass to Bolington for a 39-yard gain to move them near the Green Devils' 35-yard line. A seven-yard carry by Burbage moved the Warriors to the North Adams' 28. From there, an offsides penalty on the Devil defense moved the Warriors five yards closer to pay dirt with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter. A 10-yard penalty moved the Warriors back to the North Adams 33-

yard line with first down and 20 yards to go. After Collins carried for a short gain and a dropped pass brought up third and 15 to go, the Warriors were able to finish off the drive with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Collins to Gardner. A successful kick for the extra point by Matthew Brown put the Warriors on top 7-0 with less than 10 seconds to go in the first period. The Green Devil offensive responded by capping off a 50-yard drive with a touchdown carry by Collin Hesler to cut the Warrior lead to 7-6 with 9:38 to go in the second quarter. The Devils were unsuccessful on their two-point conversion attempt that followed the touchdown. That would be the only time the Devils managed

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich opted to go for 2 points after all five of the Ducks’ touchdowns Saturday afternoon at Nebraska. The problem?

to reach the end zone in Friday's contest, and the Warriors continued to improve as the game rolled along until they were in control on both sides of the ball with linebacker Kade Houston, defensive end Preston Meranda, and linebacker Tony Brown among the several players to put together outstanding performances on defense; while on the offensive end it was Collins throwing for more than 250 yards and Gardner racking up more than 100 yards receiving with two touchdown receptions. After the Eastern defense forced a fumble that gave them possession at the North Adams' 34yard line, carries by Stamper and Lainhart led the Warriors to their second touchdown of the night. It was Stamper

2. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford McCaffrey was a one-man show in the Cardinal’s 27–10 win over USC, rushing for 165 yards on 30 carries and adding 73 yards on four receptions. The junior from Colorado is second in the nation in yards from scrimmage (202.0 ypg). 3. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State Barrett outdueled Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield on Saturday night, throwing for 152 yards and four scores and rushing for 74 yards on 17 carries. For the season, he is completing 67.1 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns and one INT.

4. Jabrill Peppers, LB/RS, Michigan One of the most versatile players in college football, Peppers recorded nine tackles (3.5 for a loss), rushed two times for 24 yards and added a 56-yard punt return for a touchdown in the Wolverines’ comeback win over Colorado. 5. Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State Pumphrey leads the nation in rushing with 599 yards through three games, including 281 vs. California two weeks ago and 220 at Northern Illinois on Saturday.

capping off the short Warrior drive, powering in a touchdown to help his team to a 13-6 lead after an unsuccessful kick for the extra point. Coming off a 13-6 lead at halftime, the Warriors dominated the second half, outscoring the Devils 26-0 in the final two quarters. A 56-yard touchdown reception by Gardner upped the Warrior lead to 19-6 with 7:44 to go in the third quarter. After a 36-yard reception by Gardner to move the Warriors to the North Adams' seven-yard line, it was Lainhart muscling his way for a seven-yard touchdown to leave the Devils trailing 25-6 with just under three minutes to go in the third quarter. Lightning in the area would cause a delay in the action with under a

minute to go in the third period, but when play resumed it was the Warriors sealing the deal by tacking on two more touchdowns. The Warriors will get their opportunity for revenge in their fourth game of the season Sept. 23, as they take on the West Union Dragons who pinned them with a 30point loss in the season opener at home. The Warriors will be on the road at Freedom Field for their rematch against the Dragons, and Tomlin is expecting his Warriors to display a great deal of improvement since their loss in week one. "I look for our boys to play a lot better this time," said Tomlin, who is hoping his Warriors are able to even up their season record to 2-2.

Built in 1825 with an addition in 1847, this house combines all the historic architectural elements and craftmanship of days gone by with all the modern elements families desire today. The home features on the first floor a completely modernized kitchen with stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, original hardwood floors and an exposed brick wall. The grand ballroom now serves as a formal living room and boasts two Italian marble fireplaces. The library and dining room are both spacious and leave you with a desire to entertain all your family and friends there. The second floor offers four charming bedrooms. The master is complete with a sitting room, large closets and a full bath with a claw foot bathtub. The second floor veranda has an incredible view of the Ohio River, the perfectly manicured English garden and a two car detached garage and workshop. The house has 9 non-working fireplaces with ornate designs of Rookwood, marble and wood. Many of the screens were made in the Rankin Iron Works many years ago. The house is in perfect alignment with the historical John Rankin House and played an integral part of the Underground Railroad abolitionist movement during the Civil War. From your first visit you will fall in love with this home as your feel the history and heritage of another time. Asking $249,000

This home has seen a lot of changes in Ripley. It was built in 185253 and lovingly restored in 1995-2000. Attention was paid to every detail in the house. The large foyer displays a large curved stairway that was refinished by hand. Two parlors feature fireplaces and a large floor to ceiling mirror that survived the 1937 flood. The plaster crown molding is original and was only reproduced in one other house in Brown County. Each tall ceiling has light medallions and chandeliers that were removed from a ritzy hotel in New York City. The dining room and library have hardwoods and a fireplaces. The original Butler's Pantry has been changed into a first floor bathroom, however some of the beautiful cabinetry was preserved and relocated to the kitchen. The kitchen has exposed brick and a large pantry. The family room is located off of the kitchen. Upstairs the house features 5 (yes 5!!) bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, one containing a claw foot tub. Both floors have natural gas heat and central air. The owner is ready to retire and relocate so the home is priced to sell. You could make this home a bed and breakfast or simply have a beautiful historic home for your family.

History and Architecture Remembered- Magnificent 1893 building was constructed of 6 courses of brick, fir floors and spectacular stained glass, by the Order of the Odd Fellows to house their fellowship hall. Thousands upon thousands of square feet in this sprawling 2 and 3 story complex that has hosted multiple stores, the K of C, and a mortuary. It was maintained in later years as a full line furniture store until it was closed some years ago. It has been many things and benefited so many people and organizations over the years and is truly a symbol of the times of workmanship and craftsmanship. And now it needs our help, to be rescued from demise. As with any building that has set a couple of years without attention the signs of disrepair are starting to show but someone with the imagination of use, and the heart of a preservationist could bring this monument of the past back to her prime. Let us show you the wonderful attributes, ride the working, still licensed 1918 hand pulled freight elevator to the third floor where the rug display racks that were moved there after the trend of carpet became a standard. Come visit the village where Uncle Tom’s Cabin was set and where a half generation after the Civil War a group of inspired citizens constructed this one of a kind building. Priced at $119,000..... The local family that has owned it for over a century says to present an offer. Campbell’s Frontier Realty
