HISTORIC FOUNDATION OF STONE THEM FOR CENTENNIAL FETE .In yesteryears Stinesville was known as a hustling, progressive business center boosted by the great Indiana limestone industry that had its beginning in this picturesque location. The town of Stinesville owes its beginning to the Monon Railway that made possible the connecting link with the markets for this great building stone and also brought to its borders many of the skilled workers who became leaders in this Hoosier community. The name of Stinesville is known throughout Indiana and the United States because Indiana limestone from the quarries of this community has gone into (many buildings) through the country. A (centennial) pageant has been written and is being directed by Mrs. Mary Grubb Childers, a native of Bean Blossom Township and a retired school teacher. Mrs. Childers is the wife of Lovel Childers, co-chairman of the centennial.
