Columbia City Post ~ Wednesday, June 13, 1917
Adam Francis Steurer who registered in the west precinct of Columbia township, as an alien enemy thinks that an explanation of his action is due, and he also has come to the conclusion that he ought not to be so classed. He can remember very little of his childhood, his mother having died when he was but a youngster. He has a number of brothers and sisters. His father left the children many years ago and they have been living as orphans ever since. The young man thinks it probable that his father had taken out at least his first naturalization papers, and if such is the case the son would be classed as a naturalized citizen.
It was because nothing definite could be established that he was registered as an enemy. He has made the statement to Father Kohl of the Catholic church of this city that he would be willing to take the oath of allegiance to the U. S. - even fight for her if necessary. He has voted several times and wishes to place himself in the correct light before his neighbors and friends. He has, as far as possible, put the matter straight to the registration board of the county and they do not regard him as an "enemy" any longer.

Not enough excitement for Lieut Fred (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Saturday, June 9, 1917
Lieut. Fred Wunderlich, son of Mrs. Eva Wunderlich of this city, is now with a regiment of regular soldiers of the U. S. in the Phillippines [sic], with headquarters at Cebu. He writes his mother that "It is so blooming quiet and peaceful over there that it gets on one's nervers." He says: "There is little excitement over here. Every two or three days we get a little news over the cable, but very little. I suppose there is heaps of excitement at home. I wish I were there. I would rather be down in Jolo in Mindanao. The natives go on the war path down there once in a while and furnish some excitement, but in this place they are too lazy to even fight.
"They are having general mount in front of my office now. I wish you could hear the band. These natives are wonderful musicians and we have a remarkably good band.
"There are no white soldiers at this post. They are all native scouts with white officers. These people make very good soldiers if they have white officers. If left to themselves they are worse than useless.
"I had rather expected to be sent home when war was declared, but I have heard nothing of it, so I suppose I will stay here for some time. I am planning a little hunting trip up into the interior of Negros. It is about five days from the coast. One speaks of distance in the interior in days, meaning the distance one can walk in a day. Often there are no trails even for horses. Along the coast it is entirely different. There are fine roads and many automobiles may be seen."
Lieut. Fred is serving in the capacity of dentist for his regiment, and has been in the service now something more than a year and is getting along nicely.

Celebrate Their Golden Wedding (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Saturday, March 31, 1917
Fifty years is a long time but to those who enjoy the companionship of each other it seems a very short period. Such has been the experience of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Compton, of this city, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Wednesday. The day was spent quietly at their home on North Line street.
Joseph W. Compton was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, May 13, 1843, and is the son of the late Chas. H. and Jemima Compton, who moved to Whitley county, Indiana, in the fall of 1849, and went to the home of Andrew Compton, of Richland township, who came here several years prior to that time and had taken up land in that township. At that time there was a law in the state of Indiana that set aside one section of land in each township for school purposes, and Mr. Compton's father purchased one-fourth of this section in Richland township which was section sixteen. The land purchased was covered with a heavy forest but the newcomers went to work and soon had a home built.
Mr. Compton remained with his parents until he was eighteen years of age, and on the 16th day of October, 1861, enlisted in Company E, 44th Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He served during the Civil war and went through some of the thickest of the fighting. He was mustered out and given and honorable discharge on September 30th 1865. Had he remained sixteen more days he would have completed four years of service for the cause of the Union. After the war he came back to Richland township and resided with his parents until his marriage to Mrs. Compton.
Elevia (Croy) Compton was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, November 2, 1846, and is the daughter of the late Daniel and Anny Croy, who came to this county when she was four years old, or during the month of October, 1850. Mr. Croy homesteaded a portion of section fifteen in Richland township and Miss Elevia obtained her education in a log school house near the home of her parents. She was united in marriage to Joseph W. Compton March 28, 1867, and they rented the old Marcus Norris farm in the same township. After living there five years Mr. Compton purchased 40 acres of land which is a part of the farm now owned by his son George O. Compton, of this city. He and his wife resided on the farm until March 1, 1911, when they moved to this city.
After purchasing the Richland township farm Mr. Compton and wife went to work in earnest and in a few years had increased their holdings to 180 acres. They are highly respected by their former neighbors and their many friends in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Compton became the parents of five children, the oldest and the youngest of whom survive, namely, Mrs. Cora Beard, of Richland township, and Attorney Geo. O. Compton, of this city. Mr. Compton has been a life-long republican and was for many years precinct committeeman from his township.
There were fifty guests present at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Compton, and of the fifty guests only three survive: one brother, George Croy, and two sisters, Miss Kate Croy and Mrs. J. W. Prugh, of South Whitley. The guests rode to the wedding on horse-back as the roads and paths were so muddy that it was impossible to move a wagon.

Reports From Soldier Camps (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Saturday, May 19, 1917
The following assurance was published in the last issue of the Indianapolis News: "Yes, mother, your son was up before 6 o'clock this morning. He ran a hundred yards or two, then went through some exercises and a bit of drill. After that he had a breakfast consisting of beef stew, potatoes, bread cut about an inch and a half thick, and a tin cupful of black coffee. At 7 he marched for an hour over the post roads of Ft. Benjamin Harrison. At 8 he was back on the post parade ground for drill. At 9 he heard a talk on the nomenclature of the rifle. At 10 he was drilling in squad formations and [at] 11 he took his first lesson in semaphore signaling. At 12 he went to his noonday mess - yes, quite eagerly, mother, and at 1 he attended a conference on the care of his military equipment. At 2 he took a course in drill regulations and at 3 he had a lesson in guard duty. After that he was free to study from text books what he will have to do tomorrow."
Phil McNagny, Tom Pontius and James Adams have sent their watches home and will buy "Waterbury" stem-winders. This will enable the boys to keep busy winding them when not otherwise employed. They probably feared they might "lose" their valuable timers when out on a hike or something. No insinuations intended.
The boys write that they are doing well on boiled beef and potatoes, colored bread and black coffee. So far they have not set foot outside the training camp and they rather think leave of absence will be a rare privilege. Not a whimper of complaint has been made by any of them so far.
D. B. Clugston, Jr., is in receipt of a letter from his son, Herbert, who is stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The writer evidently likes camp life, judging from the enthusiasm with which he writes. He speaks highly of the "feeds" they have and of other interesting things connected with life at the busy fort.
Russell Nowels, who is at the officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan, Ill. Writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Nowells, of this city, that the men there look upon the work cut out for them very seriously and they are not unmindful of the possibilities of the future. He says on the average the men are much older than he is, many of them being 40 years of age. He writes that they have an abundance of things for food and in quite a variety too. He is in a barracks with perhaps 150 men.
Mr. and Mrs. John Reider, of North street, are in receipt of a letter from their son, Homer, who recently enlisted in the regular army and is now at Ft. Thomas, Ky. The young man likes army life and is getting along in fine shape.
Donald Livengood, with the Columbia City Floral Company, who went to Fort Harrison along with other young men from this city, writes friends that he is enjoying army life. He states that they are busy from 5:15 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. The letter was written Tuesday, and Mr. Livengood stated that his company was not drilling on that day as they had been vaccinated and given an injection of anti-toxine Tuesday morning. Most of the members of his company were sick as a result of the vaccination. He did not have much to say about the grub but did state that he liked the eats, but old Hotel De Clugston looked better to him.

Jay Wearstler Now in France (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Wednesday, August 1, 1917
Word was received by D. H. Tantlinger, uncle of Jay Wearstler, that Jay is now in France with Pershing. Young Wearstler enlisted in the U. S. army last January. He received most of his training at El Paso, Texas. It was from this place that the "Post" was favored with a letter from him enclosing a photograph. At the same time he wrote his uncle and at that time said Mr. Tantlinger should not try to answer until he (Jay) wrote again. This is the first word that has been received from Jay since that time. He says he is in fine health and that everything is going fine. His letter was very short because of the strict censorship that is maintained. Jay's friends will be glad to know that he is developing into such an excellent representative of Uncle Sam's men.
The young man was a carrier boy on the Post force a few years ago, passing the "Northwest" route which is now passed by "Billy" Snyder, and later he passed the "South Side" route which is regularly carried by Jack Pentz but as the latter is enjoying his "vacation", Douglas Marker is the carrier. Jay was a very conscientious young fellow, and though he is not very old, he will be steadfast to duty wherever he may find it. The letter received by his uncle was postmarked Paris, France July 4, so it is probable that he was one of the members of the picked battalion which paraded there for the edification of the French people on the anniversary of America's independence. The young man is a member of Co. K, 16th infantry U. S. A.

Keiser Reunion - Largest They Have Ever Held (1922)
The Evening Post ~ Wednesday, August 23, 1922
Nearly three hundred attended the Keiser family reunion Sunday at the Daniel Eberhard home a mile north of Peabody.
The annual reunion of the Keiser families was held Sunday at the hospital [sic] country home of Daniel Eberhard, a mile north of Peabody, and it was the largest and best reunion this family has ever had.
Tables were spread in the orchard west of the house and there was ample room for the parking of automobiles. At the noon hour, when all the guests were seated at the table, actual count showed that there were 282 persons present. The tables fairly swayed under the load of fried chicken, cakes and good things to eat. More relatives came later, so the number must have come very close to three hundred.
Members of the family were there from far and wide, some of them having driven a hundred and forty miles to be present at the reunion. There were two long tables placed under big tarpaulins so that all were in the shade while eating dinner.
During the afternoon, ice cream and lemonade were served and Mr. and Mrs. Sam Yontz presented the crowd with ten pounds of chocolates. Men and women engaged in horseshoe throwing contests, and several courts were fixed up so that several teams could be playing at one time. A program was carried out after the crowd was called to order, by the president, Levi J. Keiser, in which there were recitations and singing, and talks were made by Mrs. Bessie Keiser, Hon. N. F. Watson and O. B. Creager, and Levi Keiser talked interestingly of his trip through the west and to Alaska.
The officers were re-elected, Levi Keiser being president; Ephraim Schrader, secretary, and William Hartman, treasurer. It was decided that the next reunion will be held at the home of Frank Cusick, a mile north of this city on Line street.

Col. Harrison Saw The Big Frenchmen (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Saturday, May 12, 1917
Col. Jos. R. Harrison had the pleasure of being present Tuesday when Gen. Joffre and his fellow Frenchmen visited at Indianapolis. He heard Viviani speak and says he puts a lot of him into his remarks and displays tremendous energy and feeling. The streets were a solid block of humanity for squares. He visited the office of Adjutant-General Smith and says the game there reminded him of a state convention. There is little but war talk wherever one goes.

Will Take Examination (1917)
Columbia City Post ~ Saturday, May 12, 1917
Dr. Otto Grisier, of this city, and Dr. Miles Porter, Jr., of Ft. Wayne, will report at the naval station in Chicago Monday morning for physical examination. Both men are on the reserve physician list and in case they pass the examination and are needed will be sent to some naval base where they will begin their duties as naval physicians. They will likely be at home the latter part of next week and in case they pass the examination will be ordered out in about three weeks. Physicians are given that much time in order that they may close up all business matters.
