Ms. Martha Allen Celebrates
Nmety-Second Birthday Sunday
Pioneer of Eastern Indiana is Mother of b Children and
Foster Mother of Five More-Tels of the
Many Changes In Last SO Years.

MY friends have commented many
times on my memory for the days
of my childhood and youngwoman-
hood" said Mrs. Martha Allen, who
celebrates her ninety-second birthday
among many friends and relatives,
Sunday.
Il can remember back to the time
when | was five years DID," contir-
ued Mrs. Allen. 1--WE lived in Center
township, Union county then and my
father was building a new brick
house at that time. l can remember
the names of two of the three brick
masons who worked on the new house.
They were John Price and Henry Muir
ply. The other one was never an &C
quaintance, but | remember what he
looked like"
Mrs. Allen was born in Center
| township, Union county, on August
| 26, 1880, and was married to Will
liam Allen in 1850 She is the mother
of IS children and the foster mother
| of five more, who are not related &c
her She now has Is great grand
children.
Time Brings Changes
| People lived much better 70 years
/ ago than they do today" said Mrs. Al
lien "They did not dissipate, keeT
| late hours, and do the things which
shorten the lives of the people of the
/ present generation We had less ther
but we were much happier. The PEG
| pie of this territory were mostly farm
ers living as they could by making al
| most everything necessary to thel
| simple life l remember the tins
| when my father drove his team o.
miles to Cincinnati, just to get bar
rel of salt. 1t took him four day.
but we had enough salt to last TO
a long time"
II saw the first railroad constructed
Through Richmond. That was in l84'
when the Pennsylvania lines started
through this section. | remember the
Occasion very distinctly. l rode vi
with my father to bring our crop o
wool to Tests wooden mill just nortl
of town. Richmond was just a villag
} then and knew just where everything
was. If l were to go downtown nov
I'd probably get lost for l have no
been able to keep up with the growtl
of the city"
Grain Harvest
Mrs. Allen traced the development
lof the methods used in harvesting O
grain in this district. When she wa
a girl the wheat was cut with a sickl
and threshed with a fail. Fifteel
bushels per day vas good productio
with a fail Then followed the horse
drawn thresher which turned out 5
: bushels and we thought that was wor
derful," she said. This was abou
the time when the cradle came int
use and we thought we were going a
fast with our harvesting as it wa
possible to go. The reaping machin
came later and the engine drive
thresher followed"

the market what firmness there was
to discount bearish cables. Permis

Europe's imports for the current year

Low prices for the season were scored
