Looking for a death notice or obit and the cemetery where a Josiah Boucher. Was told that he is listed in the Eisen's newspaper index, Josiah Boucher's death was reported as Aug. 4, 1892 and mentioned in The South Bend Weekly Tribune, Aug. 13, 1892, page 12. As I am in California, there is no way for me to look at that paper, was hoping that someone can check it for me, and let me know where he is buried.

Newspaper Tidbits from Rick B Tuesday, April 4, 2006 "The South Bend Weekly Tribune", Saturday, January 15, 1898, page 5 "I well remember the first freight shipped by rail from Mishawaka," said Mr. Aaron Webster, the other day in speaking of early times in St. Joseph county. "The Lake Shore road, or that which is the Lake Shore road now, then the Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana, was built here in the fall of 1851, and the first freight train that went east took eight barrels of cranberries from Mishawaka. There were no depot buildings or anything like a depot platform at that station then. The cranberries were loaded into the car right from the ground. They were picked in the marsh just south of Mishawaka, growing wild there, and they were enough sight better than any of the cultivated fruit that I have come across since. I had a contract on the railroad when it went through this county and ran a big gang of men cutting away the timber and brush from the right of way through the grapevine woods just east of Terre Coupee prairie."

Newspaper Tidbits from Rick B Tuesday, April 4, 2006 "The South Bend Weekly Tribune", Saturday, January 15, 1898, page 5 "Marshall county has some claims on the California millionaire, Charles Crocker," said Mr. R. B. Oglesbee, of the Plymouth News, during a recent call at the Tribune office. "I want to correct your paper in one statement you made last week and that is that Mr. Crocker did not return after going to California from Indiana. He did return to this state. He went from Plymouth to California in 1849. He was then running a forge near that city, having moved from Mishawaka the year before. In 1852 he came back and married Judge Deming's daughter in Mishawaka. We thought when he went away from Plymouth that a Marshall county fair one would be Mrs. Crocker, but it seems fate decreed otherwise."

Newspaper Tidbits from Rick B Monday, April 3, 2006 "The South Bend Weekly Tribune", Saturday, January 15, 1898, page 5 TIPS FROM TALKERS. "While in New York recently," said Will Stover at a late meeting at the Historical society, "I stepped into a store to make a purchase and incidently let drop the fact that I was from South Bend, Ind. The clerk who waited upon me said he was greatly interested in South Bend through reading articles in the New York papers about the old St. Joseph-Kankakee portage and the visit of LaSalle here in 1679. He was glad to learn that a historical society had been organized here and had taken the matter of raising a monument to LaSalle in hand. So you see," added Mr. Stover, "our fame is spreading. This region occupies a very important place in history."
