From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:
All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the
Vandalia railway
to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliiance
with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will
be commenced and pushed to completion.
Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont
(Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend
and the lake...
With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the
conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be
furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this
right of way from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by
subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been
secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise
the remainder during the present week...
1883 - Oct 6 - The.Vandaiia railroad company commenced laying iron at Marmount a
day or two ago, and-withln a short time the tract will be completed from Maxinkuckee
lake to the Nickle Plate railroad, a distance of about three miles,- Logansport

Librarian Is Choosen - Rooms Over the Hardware secured.
A special committee reported that it had made verbal contract with
Urias Menser for
the front four rooms over the hardware store at $5 per month, and in
addition has arranged with Mrs. Oberlin, the recent tenant, to use her
furniture at a rental of $4 per mouth. Mr. Menser agrees to wire the
rooms. The renting of rooms already furnished will relieve the board
of the necessity of the expense of buying rugs, tables, chairs, etc.
for a time, at least. With volunteer help from some of the high school
boys it is expected to move the books next Monday, and to open the rooms
for library and reading purposes soon after Jan. 1 with the new librarian
in charge.
