Before there was "The Field Of Dreams," there was...Indiana Where Is Indiana? by, Lillian G. MERKLE HEBERT Genevieve tells how when she was little she knew that Uncle George [MERKLE] and Aunt Jennie [WALLACE MERKLE] lived in Indiana, but she never quite knew where Indiana was. Uncle George and his family came to visit Grandma Helena [TASCHER] MERKLE, who lived around the corner south and east about 40 rods. There was a lane going between the fields of corn that was a short cut between Grandma's house and ours. Genevieve saw our cousins, Alice and George [MERKLE -- children of George & Jennie], come out of the fields into our backyard. "Now," she told herself, "I know where Indiana is. It is out there in the cornfield." Little Angel by, Lillian G. MERKLE HEBERT When Lucille PRIESSER MERKLE was a little girl, about eight, she was hit in the leg with an exploding sky rocket on the fourth of July. She had a very bad infection from it, blood poisoning, and since there were very few effective medications in those days, she lay near death for several days. Father RIML, the parish priest, was called to give her the last rites. She recovered and grew up to an attractive, energetic flapper in the roaing twenties era. She wore short skirts and lipstick and bobbed her hair, which was not readily acceptable in those days. One day she was walking downtown in Ashkum when she met Father RIML and greeted him. He peered at her through his little oval spectacles and said, "Oh, it's you, Lucille. Tsk Tsk. It's a shame you didn't die when you were little -- you'd be an angel now." When she told the story she finished with, "Just what do you suppose he meant I was?"
