During WW I, they changed the name to Talma because of the anti-German sentiment. When I was in junior high there in the 70s, there was a little church that still had some services in German.

That's the first place I would go with a question like yours. Besides, I just like visiting their museum and library. It's a very well run place.

My great-grandfather, Nathaniel Pierce Helmick, Jr. lived there and owned a General Store there. It may also have been called a Dry Goods Store or a Hardware Store. If anyone has information about the town history or his store, please e-mail me at SpiritedArtist@aol.com. Thanks so much! Can anyone help me out with some information about Talma, Indiana in 1910?

Chris Hain Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:07:02 +0000 http://www.spokesrider.com/2010/09/18/hain/#comment-4961 Hello. Enjoyed your page here. I'm a direct descendant of Wm and Flora Hain. I haven't been the the Daily Union/ Brookside cemetery. I always wondered about the Hain Stone Marker. Thanks for sharing that story, Heidi. David and John Hain's father-in-law, John Finley Pettigrew actually established the town of Mechanicsburg, which was just one building... a schoolhouse I believe, somewhere near the cemetery. See my website link for more on the Hain Family of Cass County. Also I have an AncientFaces page: http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/406937/david-hain-family-photo Hello.

I presume that was part of the old County Home. Are there any records of who was buried there? Thanks. jmac3ky I have relatives who died at the Bellefontaine Infirmary.

And thank you for letting me know that somebody else enjoys these places the way I do. That's kind of why I post them. It's with the idea that maybe we can all enjoy them together. -John You’re welcome, Metropolitan Bishop of Urbandale.

Fr Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:24:47 +0000 http://www.spokesrider.com/?p=5853#comment-4957 Dear Spokesrider, I have enjoyed being taken along on your ride and research through Indiana. Thank you. What I have really enjoyed has been your photos. I find myself looking long (and a bit longingly) into them. I have know many who love the mountains, love the ocean, or love the desert, but I think I have a great love for a Midwestern country road or old church yard, or old farm house on a summer day. Wonderful stuff. Best, The Metropolitan Bishop of Urbandale Dear Spokesrider,

I somehow thought the village had been closer to the river. Did you work with the archaeology team that was there? Looks like I had been a lot closer than I had known.
