1925 - June 24 - Capron Cottage Narrowly Escapes Destruction by Fire
    Fire of the roof of the Capron cottage on the East Side was discorvered soon enough last Saturday to save the entire building from being destroyed.

    As it was, only the roof was damaged in a spot about ten feet wide and minor damge was done to the interior by water. The shingles were very dry and it the blaze had not been discorded whe it was, it is doubtful whether the building could have been saved not to mention the danger to the surrounding cottages .

    The Culver Fire Department made the run to the cottage but the fire had been extingusihed by a bucket brigade early in the game.

    It has been estimated that fifty dollars will cover the loss. It is thought that sparks from the chimney caused the fire.

1937 - Dec 22 - County Asks Removal of Wall at Lake Cottage
    The Marshall county Commissioners have files suit in the Circuit Court, it is reoirtedm aganinst H. R. Lanning and Maude Lanning, who have a cottage on the East shore of Lake Maxinkuckee asking for the removal of a seven foot wall built last July.

    The building of the wall it is claimed, has prevented the the free use of the highway and has caused a drainage ditch to back up and change its. course. - Citizen


1939 - May 11 - Change of Venue
    A change of venue was granted yesterdaay by Special Judge D. L. McKesson in the case of Marshall COunty Board of Commissioners vs Herbert B. Lanning and others.

    The change was granted on petition of defendants, and the case was sent to Kosciusko county.

    McKesson was named special judge last June.

    THe case conocerns a stone wall on a strip of road at Maxinkuckee Lake, which the county claims is a public highway.

    THe complaint alleges that the wall was built partly on ground owned by the Lannings and three feet nine inchs of it was uilt on the highway.

    THe county alleges that this roadway was set out as a public highway when the lots were laid out in 1885.

    THey ask that the wall be declared a nusisance and that so much of it as is on the highway be removed, that the wall causes damage to the road - Bremen Enquirer (Indiana)


1939 = Nov. 3 - Suit Involves Wall.
    Transferred from the Kosciusko County, Indiana circuit court, a suit filed in the United States District court here today by the Marshall County Indiana Commissioners, seeks a nuisance order and mandatory injuction against two Culver, Ind. residents, Herbert R. and Maude E. Lanning

    The suit claims that the Lannings had a seven-foot stone wall erected along a public road skirting the shore of Lake Maxinkuckee in such position as to encroach on the public road and to change the course of a drainage ditch so that water damage the road surface

    The commissioners ask the court to force removal of that part of the wall which changes the course of the drainage ditch and that the Lannings be permanently enjoined from maintaining the wall. - South Bend Tribune (Indiana)
