earth and then found that
she had made a natural ditch
for water to run into her
basement. This is the only
time that Marie Hilton had
to call for professional help
in snoring up the back ter
race wall, with proper drain
age.
Back down in the cellar,
the Hilton saga struck water
again when she dug a 2-foot
footing for stone stairs up to
the first floor. This time it
was a spring. Having read in
a book that concrete will set
under water, she mixed a
batch, poured 1t in and it did
set. But in so doing 1t made
a lovely mess that made the
water spread all over the cell
lar. The most horrible time,
according to her, was in the
spring when the cellar was
six inches deep in mud.
Reading another book, Mrs,
Hilton learned how to lay
drainage tile which she tun-
neled under the dirt floor,
covered it with gravel for
more drainage, and now has
a winters project Of laying
stone or brick over it for a
permanent floor,
Floor Work
She didn't need to read a
book on how to replace ana
finish the old pine floors at
Hillside. 1t was instructive to
fit pieces of pine where the
floor was rotten, plane it
and finish it with wax. Now
it is impossible to find where
the old pieces met the new
in the charming living room
and combined kitchen and
studio.
She uses only hand tools,
except for an electric sander.
She says she is afraid that
electrical tools would get out
of hand and ruin the old
wood in her house.
When not in the middle Of
her present renovations,
which include laying UP a
small wall around the front
cellar door, laying a walk
by the side of the house and
making a batten door for the
cellar, this woman-of all
trades ties springs in various
pieces of antique furniture,
upholsters them or sips tea
on her back terrace with
Waterford visitors. They can
tell if she's home by whether
her little foreign car is
parked, or is not parked, be-
side the house.
Marie studied art at the
Corcoran, among other places,
and is an annual exhibitor
at the annual Waterford Art
Show, held during the Water
ford Foundation Homes Tour
and Craft Exhibit.
She is not quite ready to
open her own house on the
tour since the front steps
are still rather rickety. When
they are nice and solid with

Practice Fire
Removes Old
Rural Landmark

One of the Bluffton areas rur-
al landmarks, the old Peter Blk
el farm home, was burned to
the ground last Saturday.
The fire, purposely set by Fire
Chief Walter Beck of Beaverdam,
was attended by nine depart
ments of the Allen County Vol
unteer Fire Fighters association,
who extinguished it, then set it
ablaze again as they drilled in
the use of equipment.
The old residence located on
what is now the Franklin Bas-
niger farm, was the second home
of Peter Bixel Sr., one of the pio-
neer Swiss settlers. It was erect
ed between 1850 and 1860 sue
ceeding a log cabin, the family's
first home. Mrs. C. D. Amstutz
of this community was born in
the old residence.
The homestead was acquired in
1887 and the original deed car
ries the signature of President
Martin Van Buren.
In addition to drilling in the
use of fog nozzles, asbestos suits,
oxygen masks, etc, the de-
partments used a relay system
for pumping water from tank
truck more than 900 feet from
the fire.
$500 gal. tank truck operated
by Pete Diller supplied water
pumped through Eida and Bea-
verdam bumpers to Shawnee and
