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 compliance 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 is 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.Vandaila 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 Pharos Tribune

?- 1998, Nov - Larry Hiler

    Possibly: Hiler Industries was founded in 1946 by Charles Orrin Hiler, the grandfather of the company's current president, Larry Hiler. It has always been a family business. Larry's two brothers, Bob, Jr., and Jack, serve as vice president for finance and human resources, respectively, and their brother-in-law, Dan Luck, is a vice president for manufacturing. The other vice president, also for manufacturing, is Bob Hull.

    Hiler Industries purchases Aurora Industries in December of 1995. They buy out Pearson's ownership interest and give him a four year contract to continue in his position. As Derlan did before them, Hiler allows Aurora to run autonomously under the direction of a separate board of directors.




Pictured in some of the photos is some of the work David Burns done for Dean 'Skip' Smith when he owned the property. The circle planter once had a flag pole in it.
