Hi Michele! I looked through Eisen's newspaper index for 1831-1912 and my copy of one of the two county histories that was published and didn't see the name Ader anywhere. Your best bet would be to contact Bill Minish of the South Bend Area Genealogical Society. If you would like his e-mail address, I'll gladly give it to you off list. Hope this helps!

Greetings, I'm researching the surname ADER of South Bend from the late 1890's to the present. According to ship manifests, several Ader families lived on the following streets at the turn of the last century-W. Division, Pine, Thomas, Perken (?), Kendall, Elm and Chapin. These Ader individuals/families came from Kapuvar and Gartha, Gyor-Moson-Sopron province, Hungary. Of most interest is my great grandfather, Frank (Ferencz) Ader, who, according to the ship manifest, was 30yrs old, married, arrived Philadelphia on 8 Feb. 1896, going to his father, a "John" (difficult to read) Ader at 1210 W. Division St. Church records show Frank's father to be Istvan (Stephen?), not John (Janos?). This would indicate that my gg grandfather was in the U.S., which would be a great surprise to our family. Any tips on researching Hungarian immigrants to South Bend would be most appreciated. Thank you, Michele Freeland Burke, Virginia

A Mishawaka Mosaic edited by David Eisen Page 74 Railroads In Mishawaka by John Mead paragraph 2 of above article On June 27, 1859, a great tragedy occurred on the tracks between South Bend and Mishawaka. At 12:30 that Monday night, the city was awakened to the sound of ringing church bells. The information quickly spread that a train carrying nearly 150 passengers had just been wrecked at Springbrook ravine, just west of town. Heavy rains had washed away the railroad culvert apparently leaped the entire distance and buried themselves in the mud at the bottom of the opposite bank. Every car except the sleeping car were completely smashed into kindling wood from the force of the crash. Rescue of survivors was made nearly impossible by the swift rushing water, heavy rain, and darkness. Many victims died of drowning in the muddy waters, and those who escaped drowning were badly injured. The dead were taken to a temporary morgue at the railroad depot. Thirty-two bodies were recovered. Only one half of these were immediately identified; the remainder were buried in the Mishawaka cemetery. The engineer and fireman died at their posts. In the undamaged sleeping car, the president and one of the railroad directors escaped uninjured. All but three of the 15 persons buried in the Mishawaka cemetery were claimed within two weeks after the crash. In all, of the 139 passengers on board, 39 lost their lives.

Newspaper Tidbits from Rick B Tuesday, May 30, 2006 "The South Bend Weekly Tribune", Saturday, January 15, 1898, page 9 FARMERS' INSTITUTE A FINE PROGRAMME PREPARED. Residents of St. Joseph County to Meet in Annual Session Next Monday and TuesThe annual institute ofday at Good's Opera House--Exceptionally Good Speakers Engaged. The annual institue of the farmers of St. Joseph county will be held on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 17 and 18, in Good's opera house in this city. An exceptionally fine programme has been prepared and it is the hope of those in charge that this institute will outdo all previous ones in point of interest and attendance. Aaron Jones, of this city, is president of the body and E. A. Metzger, of Harris township, secretary. The committees are as follows: Programme, Aaron Jones, W. O. Jackson, William D. Rockhill, A. W. Byers, Mrs. M. B. Russ, Mrs. L. V. Robertson; music, John Layton, J. B. Witwer, W. C. Jackson, H. Shanahan; finance, J. C. Ullery; printing, Ed. A. Metzger; reception, Jacob M. Chillas, M. V. Beiger, Irving A. Sibley. The Opening Session. At the opening session at 10 o'clock Monday forennonProf. H. A. Huston, of Purdue university, will deliver his lecture on "Results Obtained in Sugar Beet Culture in Indiana." Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, says: "We import $100,000,000 worth of sugar annually, every dollar of which can be saved to the American farmer when the value of the sugar beet is fully understood by our farmers and capitalists." He further says there will be erected in the United States 19 or 20 sugar beet factories in 1898. Evansville and Hammond are each trying to get a sugar beet factory located at or near those cities and Indianapolis people are circulating stock books for a $500,000 factory there. South Bend ought to wake up an show that it is in a better place for a successful plant. Referring to this subject Mr. Aaron Jones says: "We have good railroad facilities and plenty of capital if it promises good results. Why not the Commercial Athletic club, of this city, interest itself in this matter? It is the coming industry of this country. Why send $1,000,000 of our money to enrich France, Germany and other countries for what we can grow at home. Prof. Huston is one of the best authorities in the United States on the culture of the sugar beet. He says Indiana soil is good for the growth of the sugar beet and that the beets grown in Indiana are rich in saccharine matter. All the forenoon of the first day will be given to this subject. All of our business men should take an interest." Hon. S. H. Todd, of Wakeman, O., in the afternoon will speak on "How Can We Best Restore Our Wornout Land?" Farmers say they have none. It is hoped that is true, but it is a fact deny it as they will. The soil is not as good as 25 years ago, when it ought to be better. What will restore wornout land, make those partly worn better and increase profits, will be treated in this lecture and it will be a good one. Mrs. J. C. Erwin is the wife of one of the most enterprising farmers of Marshall county, this state. She can and will tell the farmers' wives , as well as those of the city, many household conveniences that they have not thought of. Husbands who do not want to know how to add to the conveniences of the home are expected to remain away from this lecture. Mr. J. B. Stoll, of this city, will talk as the closing feature of the afternoon. At the evening session Dr. F. P. Eastman, of this city, will give some interesting facts concerning medicine, and Mrs. C. S. Everts, of Tougala, Miss., a lady with a national reputation, will deliver a short address to be followed by a lecture Mrs. J. C. Erwin on the subject, "The Responsibilities of Parents for the Success or Failure of Their Children." Every parent will desire to hear this lecture as their responsibilities will be better understood. Good Programme for Tuesday. Tuesday's programme will also be a good one. The question box is expected to bring out some pertinent points. Prof. H. A. Huston will treat the subject, "How to Test the Soil to Learn What it Lacks." W. O. Jackson will lead the discussion. S. H. Todd will talk on "The Farmer's Hens, Why Don't They Lay When Eggs are High?" G. F. Newton will lead the discussion. This forenoon programme will be completed about noon and at 1:15 the institute will assemble for the final session. Mrs. M. B. Russ, of Mishawaka, will talk on "Mistakes." Mrs. C. S. Everts will appear for the second time talking in a general way about Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi. Mrs. J. R. Frame, of South Bend, will talk on "The Better Part." S. H. Todd will give the final address of the institute. His subject will be "What Breed of Sheep Should Farmers Keep?" A discussion will follow and the institute will adjourn. The institute promises to be the best ever held. St. Joseph county farmers' institutes always rank among the largest in attendance in the state but the coming one is expected to be the greatest ever held. Especial interest will attach to the sugar beet papers and it is the particular desire of the institute managers that business men turn out in full force to hear these papers. Prof. Huston spoke a few weeks ago at a sugar beet convention at North Judson, Ind., and those who heard him were charmed. He is one of the most delighful talkers before the public.
