Manitou Lake...while every year at Maxinkuckeee some one meets with a watery grave... - Rochester Sentinel

1886 - Aug 5 - Lake Maxinkuckee is gaining a reputation for general cussedness that is not at all envisible, to say the least.

1886 - AUg 19 - Riots and Liquor

The "riotous demonstrations" our exchanges speak of at Maxinkuckee have this year been confined to the single "riotous demonstration" in which Leslie lost his life. The intoxicating liquors sold and drank that day were taken there in the baggage car on the South Bend excursion train. There is not a place about the lake now where intoxicating liquors are sold, and there has been less drinking and drunkenness at the lake this year than ever before, and undoubtedly less than among any equal number of people elsewhere. Plymouth Democrat. We are glad to record the latter facts, but previous to the fire of a few weeks since you could have bought all the liquor wanted; and it has been said that - bottled hell" was still on sale at the Ohmer House restaurant, but we are glad to accept the Democrat's statement, and Sincerely hope it is the truth..

Tuesday evening, west of this city, a man by the name of Gandy, of Marmont, was struck by the C. & A. fast line going west and killed.

He was a one-armed soldier and had been drinking at Marshland during the day, and toward evening he started for Rochester afoot along the railroad, and becoming tired sat down where he was killed.

When the train struck him, it knocked him into the air and broke his neck, one arm, right leg and a number of ribs.

He was aged about fifty years. Argos Reflector

1892 - Jul 14 - Sunday desecration nuisance

A meeting of citizens interested was held at Marmont a few nights ago, to see what measures could be instituted to abate the Sunday desecration nuisance which has of late grown to such objectionable and disgusting proportions.

There is no such a thing as a santified Sundaj' to the people of that place, and the drunken orgies have increased to such an extent as to call for decisive action, if the rights of the residents of the lake region are to be respected and maintained.

In conversation with a citizen of that place a few days ago, he said there was little hope of accomplishing anything in the way of reform, for the action of the county commissioners was such a3 to lead them to believe that their sympathies were with the liquor element, and a the railroad company was i n it for the money there was to be made out of it regardless of moral considerations, there wasn't the shadow of a hope of bringing any influence to bear that would cause them to stop the Sunday excursion business.

Evidently the situation is not a pleasing one for the good people of that vicinity to dwell upon.

It is a disgrace to Marshall county that such a condition of things is allowed to continue within her borders. The matter ought to be agitated by every lover of a decent Sunday until the nuisance is ended.

1907 - Jul 18 - Sanitarium at Culver

Dr. Kincaid of the Pile sanitarium of Martinsville, Ind. had located at Maxinkuckee to open a branch of that large and well known institution, says the citizen.

He has take one of the Capron cottages for that purpose and when its capacity is exceeded will ind accomodations for his patients at Rector's Hotel

Dr. Kincaid is quite sanguine of being able to establish a sanitarium on a large scale there.

He regards the assembly grounds as ideal for his plans, and if the business develp[es as he anticipates he will erect a permanent building there - Argos Reflector
