I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: SCHUMAKER, Seiler, Hutchins, Reeves, ALBERT E. SCHUMAKER. Whoever, associating the name Schumaker with the delicate confections and delicious beverages which his skill has compounded for the delight of people of all walks of life, should deem the possessor of the name only an ice cream and soft drink manufacturer would greatly underestimate the qualities of enterprise which have made him something more than a prosperous business man. His career shows a man of more than passing versatility, of wide experience through contact with divers peoples, and in him will be found the persistence and thrift of the German and the enterprise of the middle-western Yankee. Albert E. Schumaker, proprietor of the Schumaker Bottling Works of Columbus, Indiana, was born at Columbus, April 6, 1891, and is a son of John and Magdalena (Seiler) Schumaker. John Schumaker was born at Baden, Province of Baden, Germany, where he received a public school education, and in young manhood came to the United States. About the year 18! 80 he took up his residence in Indiana and subsequently became a leading merchant of Columbus, where he spent the remainder of his career and was known as a public-spirited and progressive citizen. He and his worthy wife were the parents of three children. Albert E. Schumaker attended the parochial and high schools of Columbus, and was nineteen years of age when he entered upon his career as a clerk in the mercantile establishment of his father, with whom, however, he remained only a few years. He early became attracted to the automobile industry and for four years was connected as a clerk with several of the large manufacturing concerns, but in 1912 returned to Columbus, where he bought out the Kimsey Bottling Works. This business grew and prospered under his energetic direction and he soon bought out the Coca Bottling Works, at that time changing the name to the Coca-Cola Bottling Works, with the Coca-Cola franchise for Bartholomew, Jennings and Decatur counties. ! In 1916 he installed a new modern ice cream manufacturing plant, with the most up-to-date machinery and apparatus, and now supplies ice cream to the people of the three counties named. The plant, offices and storage warehouse cover about 10,000 square feet of floor space, eighteen people are employed, and eight motor trucks are utilized in making expeditious deliveries to the company’s patrons. This plant manufactures about 75,000 gallons of ice cream yearly and bottles about 60,000 cases of soft drinks of all kinds each year. Mr. Schumaker also operates a plant at Greensburg, Indiana, where four people are employed, the floor space being approximately 2,000 square feet. Mr. Schumaker is one of the leading men in the trade in his state and holds the office of secretary of the Indiana State Ice Cream Association. He belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, of which he was formerly, a member of the board of directors; the Kiwanis Club, of which he was the fourth p! resident; and the Bartholomew County Fair Association, of which he is vice president. He is widely and popularly known in fraternal circles and is exalted ruler of the local lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. During the World war he was very active in all drives and was a four-minute speaker and generous contributor to all movements for the success of American arms. His Columbus office is situated at 816 Jackson Boulevard. Mr. Schumaker married Miss Josephine Hutchins, of Columbus, daughter of Benjamin Hutchins, a former secretary and treasurer of the Reeves Pulley Company, and to this union there have been born two children: Albert, who is attending high school at Columbus; and Helen, attending public school.

One of the foremost citizens of Columbus, Indiana, active in business and civic affairs and a political leader in Bartholomew County is Hon. John H. Schaefer, banker and manufacturer and an ex member of the Indiana State Legislature. He has numerous large business interests at Columbus, an old and very important one being the Schaefer Roller Mills, of which he is sole owner and operator. During a long and active career it has been his fortune so to conduct his affairs as to win the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens in a high degree, and no worthwhile public movement is considered complete until his name is on its list of supporters. John H. Schaefer was born on a farm in Bartholomew County, Indiana, near Wellsboro, September 29, 1869, and is a son of Charles F. and Louise (Meyers) Schaefer. Charles F. Schaefer was born at Frankenhousen, Germany, where he was reared and educated, and when still a youth immigrated to the Unit! ed States to seek his fortune, taking up his home in Indiana about the year 1850. He developed a farm in Bartholomew County, where he erected a home and made a success as a husbandman, and subsequently was engaged in the lumber business for a time. Eventually, with his brother, Albert, he erected the Park Roller Mills, at Columbus, and in this community passed the remainder of a long, useful and honorable life. Mr. Schaefer married Miss Louise Meyers, of Jackson County, Indiana, and they became the parents of six children. John H. Schaefer attended the rural schools until he was fourteen years of age, spending the summers in work on his father’s farm, and from that time forward continued to reside under the parental roof and work with the elder man in the cultivation of the rich and productive fields. He was nineteen years of age when his father embarked in the flour milling business, and the youth soon learned the trade and bought an interest in the mill in 1892. I! n 1903, in company with George G. Schwartzkopf, he bought the mill, of which he took active charge, and in 1925, when Mr. Schwartzkopf died, became sole owner and operator by purchasing his former partner’s interest from the estate. This has been a very successful enterprise, and during the World war was engaged in United States Government supply work. Mr. Schaefer is accounted one of the capable and reliable businessmen of Columbus. In 1916 he was one of the organizers of the Farmers Trust Company and later became vice president, a position which he held until the merger of this concern with the Peoples Bank. He was then appointed a director of the Union Trust Company, which later merged with the Irwin Trust Company to become the Irwin Union Trust Company, of which he is a director. He is a member of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, of which he was formerly president and a director. Always a leader in civic and political affairs, he served as a coun! cilman of Columbus from 1913 until 1917 and in 1923 was sent to the Lower House of the State Legislature as representative from Bartholomew County. During the World war he was very active in all the drives. With his family he resides in a comfortable home at 903 Fourth Street. Mr. Schaefer married Miss Mary Bosse, of Columbus, and to this union there have been born six children Rachael, the wife of William Gray, formerly in the United States Army as a member of the Mexican Border Patrol, and now a civil engineer and instructor at the experimental laboratories at Purdue University; Earl, who served in the United States Navy during the World war, married Flora Roth, and is now associated in business with his father; Louis, also engaged with his father in the milling business, who married Caroline Scheidt; Misses Ethel and Ruth, who reside with their parents; and John H., Jr., who is attending school.

I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Beck, Morris, Morrison, Anderson, Coblentz, Utter, Flavius J. Beck, M. D. Old and prominent Indiana families of military repute are represented in the ancestry of one of the leading medical practitioners of Bartholomew County, Dr. Flavius J. Beck, physician and surgeon at Columbus, coroner of Bartholomew County, and formerly for twenty years health officer of Hartsville. During his long and active career he has won honor and distinction in his profession and at the same time has been a contributing factor to the success of many movements, which have made for development, progress, higher morality and better citizenship. Doctor Beck was born at Newbern, Bartholomew County, Indiana, March 3, 1863, and is a son of Dr. William H. and Sarah A. (Morris) Beck, and a grandson of Maj. Samuel Beck and John Morris, Indiana pioneers. Maj. Samuel Beck settled in Indiana in 1816, on a land grant given him by the United States Government for his services as a soldier during the Black Hawk war, this property being situated in the southeast! ern –part of Columbus Township, Bartholomew County, where he became an extensive farmer and a citizen who was held in great respect and esteem. He married Elizabeth Morrison, who was a native of Ireland. Dr. William H. Beck, the father of Dr. Flavius J. Beck, was born in Bartholomew County, where he received a thorough medical training, and for many years stood at the top of his profession. During the War Between the States he served as surgeon of the One Hundred and Forty-fifth Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and thereafter continued the practice of medicine in Indiana as long as he lived. He was a member of the county, state and national medical bodies and a physician who always was a strict observer of professional ethics and practice. Dr. Flavius J. Beck was the eldest of his parents’ eight children, all of whom had educational and social advantages. He attended the public schools of Newbern and in 1880 was graduated from Hartsville Colleg! e with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and three years later received the degree of Master of Arts from the same institution. For a time he attended the Ohio Medical College, and in 1890 was graduated from the Kentucky School of Medicine, at Louisville, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Doctor Beck entered into medical practice at Hartsville in 1890, and continued there until 1918, when he enlisted for service during the World war, in the United States Medical Corps, was given a captain’s commission, and was sent to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and thence to Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, for three months of military training. He finally went to Camp Humphrey’s, Virginia, and was assigned to the Second Engineers, with which contingent he remained until receiving his honorable discharge in May, 1919. In June of that year he received his commission as major in the Medical Reserve Corps. Doctor Beck continued to reside and. pr! actice for a time at Hartsville, going then to Indianapolis, and in 1925 established his residence and practice at Columbus, and to the climatic conditions and comfortable surroundings here he attributes, in large measure, the building up of his own health, which years of too close devotion to his professional duties had somewhat impaired. Doctor Beck married Miss Margaret E. Anderson, daughter of Silas F. and Sophia J. (Coblentz) Anderson, pioneer settlers of Bartholomew County from New Jersey. They have one daughter, Gertrude, who is the wife of Corp. Lloyd B. Utter, a veteran of the World war who served in Battery D, One Hundred and Thirty-ninth U. S. Field Artillery, and now occupies a public office at Columbus. Doctor Beck has always been interested as a good citizen in county politics, and has served honorably in such offices as coroner and health officer. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity, and is a member of the Bartholomew County Medical Society, the Ind! iana Medical Society and the American Medical Association. His modernly equipped offices are situated at 1021 Washington Street.

I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Dickey, McCullough, Noelke, Richards, Gysie, RICHARD J. DICKEY. In Richard J. Dickey, president of the R. J. Dickey & Sons, Inc., owner and manufacturer, at Columbus, Indiana, is found an individual who receives a ready welcome from other clear-visioned, practical business men in any community in which he may choose to locate. Such men bear with them the inspiring spirit of enterprise and the ability to plan well and substantially. Richard J. Dickey was born in Bartholomew County, Indiana, December 7, 1879, just forty years after his father, David Dickey, a native of County Cork, Ireland, arrived at Madison, Indiana. He was a sturdy, industrious youth who immediately found employment in a starch factory, but in later years, after the war between the states, in which he won praise for his soldierly conduct as a private in the Union army, he became a successful agriculturist in Bartholomew County, developing a valuable property through the exercise of great industry, the use of modern methods and the application! of good business judgment In all of his affairs. He was a man of high character who had the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Dickey married Elizabeth McCullough, a native of Hamilton, Ohio, and to this union there was born five children, among whom Richard J. was one of the younger. From the country schools of his native neighborhood Richard. J. Dickey entered the Columbus High School and his educational record from there gave him superior standing when he became a student at Purdue University. At first he devoted much time to civil engineering, but later found himself more interested in structural engineering and finally made it his specialty. This opened up a long period of high class work, for he became an Expert, first, for ten years, with the Caldwell and Drake firm of ironmasters at Columbus, Indiana; subsequently for three years with the Noelke-Richards Iron Works at Indianapolis; and then, for ten years, was with the Republic Struct! ural Iron Company at Cleveland, Ohio. During this long period in a dangerous occupation it is probable that Mr. Dickey gained knowledge of industrial accidents that might have been prevented by the use of reliable safety devices, and possibly an interest was thus first aroused which after careful investigation led him, in April, 1928, to invest a large amount of capital and become the proprietor and manufacturer of Everfast Window Cleaning Safety Devices. He located his main plant and headquarters at Columbus, Indiana, and has established branch offices in all the large cities of the country. The business has grown enormously, the sales territory covering the entire United States, and a large export trade has been built up, the company placing approximately $75,000 worth of material on the market annually, their manufactured articles including nineteen basic patented devices, all approved by the Underwriters Association of America. At Columbus, Indiana, Mr. Dickey was unite! d in marriage with Miss Hazel Gysie, and they have two sons: John R., a graduate of the University of Michigan, who is associated in business with his father and accounted one of the energetic young men of the community; and Robert M., who graduated from the same institution as a member of the class of 1930. Richard J. Dickey became a member of the Sigma Chi Greek letter fraternity while at Purdue University and belongs to the Detroit Athletic Club, being greatly fond of all manly out-door sports and a golf enthusiast and player of no mean ability. During the World war he was engaged in shipbuilding with the United States Emergency Fleet Corps. He is a member of the Columbus Chamber of commerce and is interested in every civic movement that promises to be of substantial benefit to the city.
