Members of the Montpelier Historical Society met at the Community Building on Sept. 28. Those attending were Nina Stults, Dorothy Sutton, Ruth Nestleroad, Jerry Hart, Norma Smith, Dana Pence, Mary Kelsay and Judith VanCamp.
Reports on the recent ice cream social held by the society were given.
A “Directory of the Blackford County Members of the Armed Forces in World War II” was donated to the museum. It had been printed compliments of Kriegbaum Implement Company, Hartford City shortly after the war. Besides an alphabetical listing of those from Blackford County who had served, it also contained a listing of the soldiers who had lost their lives in the war.
A cloth sugar bag advertising G W Sugar was donated to the museum by Norma Smith.
During the business meeting Judith VanCamp tendered her resignation as Secretary of the Montpelier Historical Society.
Due to technical difficulties, members were unable to view the tape of the first Elders Roundtable which the historical society conducted in 1992. Plans are to reschedule it for the Oct.26 meeting.
