FROM MELROSE
MARSHALL MESSENGER
30-MARCH-1877
As your valuable paper has contained no special news
from our place lately, we conceived the idea of writing a few brief
notes.
J.B. Sheaply’s school closed Friday last.
Mr. Row is erecting a plow and wagon factory at this
place.
Roof and Row are doing business with their grist and
saw mill.
Jacob, Charlie and William Howerton started for
Champaign County, Monday last.
J.M. Wells has been appointed Notary Public by the
Governor for the town of Melrose.
Our centennial man, James Hall, boasts of being one
hundred and ten years old and is engaged in a litigation concerning
goose pasture.
The red eye brigade arrived from York.
Wonder if they caught any fish while trying river water.

Not seeing anything from this place for some time, I
thought I would drop you a few lines. Brownsville
is among the things of the past. H.L. Baker has moved
his store to Melrose. He is now in the Red store, where
he is doing a lively trade. He is a first class business
man. The Rowe Brothers mill is doing a lively business
and Melrose is a lively place. Dr. Booth has moved to
the burg. The medical faculty is Dr. Wilkins, Luky and
Brother; blacksmiths, Joe Kelms and Knops and
Company; carpenters, Knops and Company;
shoemaker, JESSE STANFIELD. Alfred Cowden swings the
birch at Melrose. McClure has got the wind part of a new
railroad done. He is out with papers in hand preaching
Greenback doctrine.
21-FEB-1882
Melrose was visited last week by the death angel and
Dr. R.W. Leckle was called to his reward. The Doctor
came to Melrose during the late unpleasantness from eastern
Tennessee and had many warm friends in the community where he
died. The Cottonwood School closed on the 9th after a
five month term, Mr. William E. Huffington, teacher. Mr.
H. was educated in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is a young
man of fine talent and other qualifications, such as an unblemished
moral character.
7-MARCH-1882
There is only about one more week of Mr. Cowden’s
school yet and I must say to Mr. C’s credit, that he has taught us
the best school that we have had for several years. I
have heard scarcely a word of complaint from any one and believe he
has the good will of the entire school.
Melrose will grow in spite of the hard
times. C.W. Rooks and Charles Rowe are building some
substantial fences around their lots. Dr. Wilkin and Joe
Knapp have built sidewalks from their gates to connect with other
walks, and John Rowe has moved the office formerly used by Dr.
Wilkin around on main street, where it will be fitted up for a
milliner shop.
21-MARCH-1882
Melrose is still on the high road to
prosperity. Business of all kinds is
flourishing. The indications are that Melrose in time
will furnish her quota of speakers for the legislature.
The extension of the railroad to this point is a
settled fact and lots are being taken rapidly in anticipation of
Melrose being a second Chicago. C.F. Rowe is still
alive, but meetings, spelled schools, are things of the past with
him since he got married. Wilbur Fisk returned last week
from his flying visit to Indiana. E.M. Metcalf is making
quite an improvement on his farm west of town. He has
erected a dwelling and barn, set out two hundred fruit trees,
besides doing all his farming. A new picket fence
surrounds the old hovel occupied by F.G. Hastings. We
would be glad to see a mansion in corresponding with the
fencing. Miss. Mollie Handy, of Reno County, Kansas, is
visiting her multitude of friends at this place. Lee
Morland has gone north expecting to manipulate in manual labor this
year. John Crosby gave an entertainment at his residence
south of town last Thursday night.
26-APRIL-1882
Brax. Cox and Levi wells were in town last
Sunday. Our subscription for the proposed railroad now
foots up $525 and we are confident this can be double if this
becomes necessary. Our people appreciate the advantages
of a railroad through our county and are determined to have one if
any reasonable exertion on our part will secure it.
About three-fourths of the land owners along the line have already
signed the right of way and many more have expressed a willingness
to sign it. The recent cold snap killed all the peaches
and cherries in the vicinity. Joseph Hedges was
re-elected school director at the school election last
Saturday. This makes the third term for Mr. Hedges and
certainly entitles him to a pension.
16-MAY-1882
The dwelling house of Jones Spraker, of Orange Twp, was burned
yesterday afternoon, with nearly all the contents. The
insurance had run out a short time ago. John S. Wells,
of Martinsville, was visiting his sister, Mrs. Dr. Wilkins, last
week. He has a very sore hand caused by a hatchet, with
which he was splitting kindling, coming off the handle and striking
his hand.
27-JUNE-1882
Rook Bros. will have the addition to their store room completed in a
few days. They have four or five workmen employed on the
job and the sound of the hammer is heard from early morning until
evening. Our enterprising merchant, H. L. Baker, keeps
his eyes on the wants of the people and carries a varied stock of
dry goods and groceries. Our old friend W. Porter, of
Martinsville, candidate for superintendent of Schools, was in this
neighborhood last week.
FROM MELROSE-1883
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
27-MAY-1883
Alex Medsker has moved to this place. Wesley Reed died
on Saturday the 17th. H.L. Baker has his dwelling house
nearly done. From what we can hear, Melrose will have a
railroad yet. Mrs. J.W. Rowe has watermelon plants up
and growing. The Melrose Township teachers association
was held in Melrose, Saturday of last week. The old
soldiers of our vicinity are flocking with one accord to the Grand
Army Organization. P.F. Dodd’s, agriculture warehouse
and hall, is almost completed. When done the hall will
be used by the G.A.R. Any one wishing to purchase a good
Mason and Hamlin organ, with all the modern improvements, call on
G.H. Rowe, Melrose, Illinois. Joseph Buckle and Ivy
Buckle were united in marriage, at the home of the bride on Sunday
the fourth. At the home of the bride’s mother, Joseph
Sankey and angeline Spivey were united in marriage.
18-DEC-1883
A literary society was organized here last Saturday evening with
J.W. Rowe as president, Miss Naomi Edwards, secretary and treasurer,
J.B. Sheapley critic and Nathan Medsker, Marshall. A
committee consisted of J. R. Trump, R.W. Fisk and Wilbur was
appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws. The

Another wedding to conical this week: Mr. George Filloon

village. Joseph Howerton is repairing Uncle Joe Well’s
house south of town where he and his handsome young wife will soon
begin life’s journey. Nathan Medsker of South Carolina
Democratic fame still keeps up the war cry against
republicans. HE SEEMS INSPIRED WITH EXTREME HOSTILITY
TOWARD T.R. Cornwell, charging him with the use of whiskey, buying
votes, bribing, and all the various crimes as which democrats have
always been known to hold up their hands in holy horror.
Look out, Reck, for we all know that Nathan is a host in
law. We see in this week’s Planet, the
correspondent from this place has a quite lengthily item in
mitigation of the offence committed by G.H, Rowe in taking a piece
of timber to strike a small boy.
