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."
