Morning Star, April 3, 2022, pg. 3 We continue with our theme of "Albion, 100 Years Ago." Because of its length, we’ll divide this into two parts. April 1, 1922. "Elmer Van Sickle Dies at His Home Today. The death of Elmer Ira Van Sickle, prominent retired farmer, occurred at 3 o’clock this morning at his home in the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, 510 E. Erie St., where Mrs. Van Sickle is the matron. The cause of death was pernicious anemia, from which he had suffered for several years. and which had been the reason for leaving his farm east of the city on Newburg Road, formerly known as the Murdock property." April 3, 1922. Headline: "Two Deputies are Wounded in a Running Fight. R. S. Scott in Hospital Here Badly Injured. County Officials, Led by Sheriff Lucas, are Centers of Shooting Affray in the Foreign Settlement Late Saturday Night." April 5, 1922. "Proposition to Sell South School. The city board of education decided to place before the voters of the school district a proposition to sell the South Ward School property. The board considers that there is no need for a school in that vicinity, the building having been closed for several years, in fact since the Dalrymple School was built." "The case of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pasick of this city vs. the Citizens Mutual Fire Insurance Company was on the docket in circuit court at Marshall today. The Pasick’s are suing to obtain the insurance on their house which burned north of the city, last July." "New York Central officials who were in the city yesterday stated that the city would have a new beauty spot in the shape of a park located where the old Lake Shore depot stood on the west side of N. Superior St." April 6, 1922. "Mrs. Louis Pasick of this city secured a judgment of $1,000 in her suit against the Citizen’s Mutual Fire Insurance Company, as the result of the verdict returned by the jury in the case in circuit court in Marshall Wednesday afternoon." "This morning at the Dalrymple School, 150 pupils were given the toxin-antitoxin treatment inside of one hour…The pupils take the treatment without flinching and even "ouch" is almost an unheard-of expression." "The former David Garrison residence on Vine St., recently purchased by the city board of education, has been bought by Charles Sturdevant. The price was $605. The house will be moved to another location and the site will become part of the new playground for the Central School." April 7, 1922: "Wilbur F. Smith, former Albion boy who made a name for himself a few years ago as a big league catcher, is going to get back into the diamond game as a manager…His mother, Mrs. E. P. Smith, lives on E. Cass St." April 11, 1922: Headline: "Five Houses are raided, Booze Found. City Officers Make Search for Liquor in Foreign Settlement This Afternoon. Over Six Gallons of Liquor Confiscated. Arrests Will Follow." Text: "The houses searched were Nos. 16, 22, 24, 25, and 26 in the Malleable Iron company’s addition. Nothing of a suspicious nature was found at Houses No. 22 or 26. At No. 24, the woman of the house as the officers entered, threw bottles or jars containing liquor down the cellar steps, thus destroying the evidence against her. In the cellar of House No. 25, a five-gallon cask full of what appeared to be freshly made corn whiskey was found in a sack that had been buried in the cellar bottom." "Superintendent Harrington gave an outline of the conditions and progress of the new school building construction today at the Boosters & Knocker’s luncheon. The total contract cost, including plumbing, swimming pool and heating, is $152,000." All text copyright, 2024 © all rights reserved Frank Passic
