My grandparents/parents are from Jamestown and Byrdstown as well, yet my parents met in Muncie. My mom told me at the time- whatever time that was- mid-60's maybe, that Muncie was full of work and considered a good place to raise a family. Not sure if this is so, though. ~Sam Oliver On May 12, 2011, at 11:36 AM, Dusti Ide wrote: > I've always wondered about this too as there were a great many who > made the > move.
