1967 - Oct 12 - RETIRES AFTER 32 YEARS IN ICE BUSINESS


Mrs. Russell McFarland has retired after 32 years of handling ice in the Culver vicinity.

Mr. and Mrs. McFarland moved to the former McClane property in May, 1934, and began the retail sale of ice for the late Harry Medbourn. In 1940 the McFarlands built a refrigerated ice house across the street, next to their home. There they managed a little store and raised and sold fishing bait along with the ice business.

In 1963, Mr. McFarland died, but his wife continued with the business until 1966, at which time health conditions forced her to retire. Another hobby of Mrs. McFarland's was making noodles, which she sold to the public.

Mrs. McFarland now makes her home in Plymouth at 722 West Garro Street and she comments that she still makes good noodles.


1960's - 1990's the William and Nita Wieringa Family lived here
