Morning Star, April 10, 2022, pg. 8 A happy upcoming Easter Sunday on April 17. Be sure and attend the church of your choice that day. We continue with our theme of "Albion, 100 Years Ago." April 12, 1922. South Albion news. "Cecil Cunningham was on the sick list last week. Mrs. Carl Haskey is recovering from a hard cold. John Winchett and family have moved to Concord. Alta Reichow is back in school after her illness. Roy Bowersox has moved to the Larder place north of Litchfield. Clinton Gridley buzzed wood for Alex Brown Monday. Carlton Ball has a brand-new Ford—hop in, girls. Minard Farley, Elmer Ball and George Brockway were in Marshall Thursday." April 13, 1922. "The city council last night, in regular session passed on final reading the ordinance placing the city under Eastern time, starting April 30." "Ten Albion Men Listed as Deserters. Names of ten Albion selective draft registrants appear on the list of deserters…Actual expenses not to exceed $50…will be paid to any civil officer or other citizen for the apprehension and delivery to military control of any of them. Any apprehended should be delivered at the nearest army post, camp or station." "Martin Rudick, arrested as being the owner of the liquor found Tuesday afternoon by city officers in the cellar of House No. 25 in the foreign section, was arraigned Wednesday before Justice W. S. Price and waived examination. A bail bond of $500 was furnished by Mike Dubina, Austin Avenue store-keeper." April 15, 1922. "Liquor Raid Results in Two Arrests…In one house north of Austin Avenue, three shotguns and a rifle were found. As no one in the house apparently had citizenship papers, the weapons were confiscated…At 720 N. Albion St. the officers found a half dozen people, including one woman, sitting in the kitchen around a three-gallon jug of corn whiskey, the officers stated. A further search around the premises disclosed a half barrel of mash in the front room, and parts of a still in the cellar." "Wilbur Odum, a junior high school boy living on Mingo St. was the victim of a peculiar accident Friday afternoon. It seems that some of the boys were throwing paper darts, the points of which were ordinary needles. One of the needles struck Odum in the fleshy part of the left leg, where it embedded itself with the point almost touching the bone, and the big end nearly an inch beneath the surface of the skin. He was taken to the city hospital by Superintendent of Schools Donald Harrington and an operation was performed for the removal of the needle." April 17, 1922. "Arrest of Her Husband Caused Woman’s Death. That Mrs. Estella Knight came to her death April 6 at her residence on Gale St. through heart failure brought on the excitement resulting from the arrest of her husband, Gamer Knight, was the verdict brought in by the coroner’s jury at the inquest held Saturday afternoon." April 19, 1922. "Clarence Farmer Given a Divorce. Wife Hated Him. Howard Allen, a well to do farmer residing in Clarence Township, took the stand in an action for divorce against his wife, Marian Allen. He related that his wife had never really loved him since their marriage and in fact did not want anyone to know that she was married to him." April 20, 1922. "Stanley Boynowski of Albion was bound over to the May term of circuit court following his examination on a charge of violating the prohibition law. Deputies told of finding moonshine in the Boynowski home in Albion on the night of April 1st." April 29, 1922. "Robert Cascarelli has placed a new awning in front of his fruit store and confectionery at the corner of Superior and W. Center Sts. and has also done considerable interior renovation, including the installation of some new fixtures and redecorating of the walls."
