In the death of David Brown, aged 73 years, Jackson township loses one of its most substantial citizens, and probably the oldest pioneer resident of the township. His parents emigrated to this section of the country about 75 years ago and of the three brothers, David was born on the old farm site 73 years ago, which is one mile east of the Jackson Central School. He never left the farm and at the death of his parents and brothers he married, but no children were born to this union. He saw civilization pass on north and west of his old home site. When a small boy all the roads leading from Union City to his home were known as "toll roads." As years floated by he saw the "little red school houses" which he was educated in give way to a modern centralized school, and was just about to see the passing into history of the old coal oil lamp for the modern electric light and electrical equipment which is being installed in his community at the present time. One of the saddest events in his life came on February 4th this year, when his beloved wife died. Soon after her death he was stricken with an incurable disease. He did everything within his power to get relief and was indeed fortunate in securing the services last fall of Oscar A.J. Brown, who watched over and cared for him until the angel of death relieved him from his sufferings Sunday morning at 8:30. He had been a lifelong member of the Church of Christ. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Lisbon church conducted by Rev. W.W. Sniff.

Union City Times-Gazette, Saturday, May 9, 1942 George Harter, park donor, passes away. Complications from ailments incident to his advanced age claimed the life of George W. Harter, 82, former Randolph county commissioner and for more than twenty years a grocer at Bartonia, Friday at 8:45 p. m. at the home of his son, Macy Harter, five and one-half miles south of Union City on the Jackson pike. Best known in the Union City community where he resided at 529 West Oak street, Mr. Harter through his philanthropic efforts less than two years ago made it possible for the city to acquire the William Grimes farm, immediately west of Union City, which has been converted into the George Harter Memorial park. His desire to provide a park for Union City grew from his fondness for the children whom he daily watched from the front window of his house as they attended the West Side school and pursued student activities in the building almost directly across the street from his home. He was born southwest of Union City on February 7, 1860, the son of Solomon and Margaret (Fisher) Harter. He attended the Old No. 9 school, was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge, served as county commissioner two terms, from 1912 to 1920, and for a number of years was a member of the Randolph county council. He spent his entire life as a resident of Randolph county, living the past nine years in Union City. Mr. Harter operated the store at Bartonia from about 1894 until his partial retirement in 1915. Before that time he farmed in the same community where he was born. Surviving besides his wife, Abbie, are one son, Macy Harter, at whose home death occurred; two grandchildren, Max and Evelyn Harter, and one brother, Rev. S. F. Harter, of Union City. Funeral services will be conducted Monday at 2:30 p. m. (CWT) in the Union City Methodist church, in charge of Rev. J. Floyd Seelig, of Union City, and Rev. A. Ray Noland, Pastor of the Bartonia church in the Winchester larger parish. Burial will be in the Union City cemetery. The body will be removed from the Fraze funeral home in Union City to the residence at 529 West Oak street where friends may call after 6 o'clock this evening.

Thanks for the explanation of GARST. I lived in Greenville for about ten months in about 1939 when I was about ten years old, during the Centennial celebration, I guess for the Northwest Territory, but I'm not really sure. I remember the parades and we got to wear pioneer clothing to school--what elementary school, I don't remember but we lived on North Broadway, 610 if I remember correctly.

I will look when I go to Garst Thursday. Did you know? You can have your library order microfilm from the Indiana State library for the newspapers of Randolph County. Google their website. It will tell you what newspaper is available. Also if they live close to Union City, send the library a couple dollar &SASE giving them the name and death date.
