Body of message reads, Did you think I forgot to call you up before leaving? I called twice and couldnt get anyone so I decided there was something going on up town. I will deliver in that part of the country before long. How are you getting along? We want you with us before long. Miss M. is getting along fine. I know you can handle this work nicely. Sincerely J[...] Aber. 312 So. High St. Addressed to, Miss Sophia Fankhouser, R.R. #12, Columbia City, Ind. There was a channel that ran from the intersection of the two railroad lines to the body of water known as Winona Lake. At one time small steam powered boats transported passengers through the channel. The coming of the trolley system diminished the need for the boats and for the channel. The north end of it shrunk by several blocks. The channel still exists and terminates at Smith Street in Warsaw |
