Pr The remains have aroused much discussion and several people first thought that it was part of the skeleton of a Mastodon or a Dinortherium, but their theories were disapproved today. James Hoover came into the Sentinel office, examined the relics, and at once said that it was the remains of a Mammoth. The size and structure of the teeth proved his assertion. 40,000 Years Old The Mammoth lived on this earth about 40,000 years ago, according to the best authorities, and inhabited the northern regions. In the year 1799 a full size Mammoth, in perfect state of preservation was dug out of the ice in Siberia. The one found had long hair over the body with a fine coat of redish wool next to the skin. Judging from the size of the teeth the one on exhibition at the Sentinel office was probably about six months old. [Rochester Sentinel, Monday, April 14, 1913] MORE BIG BONES ARE FOUND More bones, supposedly those of a mammoth or mastodon, have been unearthed by the A. C. Davisson dredge, which is now at work on the Rentschler ditch near Fulton. The bones were dug up in a swamp on the John Frye farm, southeast of Fulton, and consist principally of ribs full two inches wide, and what are thought to be leg bones, six inches in diameter. Frye himself picked them up after they had been dug out of their resting places, six feet under ground. It is two miles from this place to the Charles Yankee farm, where the jaw bones of a mammoth, exhibited in the Sentinel window, were found, and consequently it is hardly thought that the sets are part of one skeleton. Further investigation may be made of the find, which will be reported to Washington. [Rochester Sentinel, Thursday, July 24, 1913] STILL MORE BONES ARE FOUND Again has the Davisson dredge working on the Rentschler ditch, east of Fulton, unearthed bones of prehistoric animals, the machine this time throwing up a number of well preserved specimens presumably from the skeleton of a mastodon or mammoth. The bones were found in a swampy part of the Arthur Frye farm, two and one-half miles east of Fulton. Among them were a jaw bone, with teeth in it eight inches wide; a piece of tusk broken, but about half remaining and in good shape; thigh bone three feet long, smallest part 12 inches around, largest part 29 inches around; hip bone, three feet long; and several other bones. The bones were picked up by Frye after the dredge had cast them out on the bank of the new ditch. They are valuable relics and were found three miles from the Yankee farm. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, August 2, 1913] BONES OF PREHISTORIC BEAST WERE UNCOVERED Several large bones of what is thought to have been a mastodon were uncovered several days ago on the farm of Robert Ewen six miles southwest of Rochester. The farm is better known as the Newburn farm. The bones were unearthed while Mr. Ewen and several men were digging a trench in which to place tile. The bones were under the earth’s surface but three feet. The tiling was done to drain a pot hole. It is believed that the huge animal in some prehistoric day was either feeding or drinking water at the point where some earth transformation took place which either killed or trapped him. Several vertabrae have been uncovered as has a large bone from one of the limbs. This bone was some five feet long. What is thought to have been a knee joint has also been unearthed. It was a foot in diameter. In years gone by a number of mastodons have been found west of Rochester and northwest of this city near Argos. The last such discoveries were made four years ago near Argos by a farmer.
Pr The curator of a New York museum purchased the bones found at Argos and there is a mastodon in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D.C. which was unearthed near this city. Mr. Ewen is communicating with several museums who might wish to come here and unearth the remainder of the prehistoric bones. The bones so far unearthed are in an excellent state of preservation. Several of the bones were on exhibition at the Heyde Filling Station at Thirteenth and Main streets. [The News-Sentinel, Thursday, May 1, 1941] PRESTON, JOHN [Rochester, Indiana] Logansport Pharos: The Nelson has secured “The Cow Puncher” as the attraction for next Saturday afternoon and evening, August 15. This drama of ranch life in Arizona was written by Hal Reid. He has taken the rough cowboy of the plains, under whose shirt of blue the heart beats true, and developed him into a hero. John Preston, formerly of this city, is the star of “The Cow Puncher.” [Rochester Sentinel, Thursday, August 13, 1908] PRETTY LAKE NURSERY PRETTY LAKE NURSERY Mr. Jacob Stockberger is my authorized agent for the sale of my nursery stock in Fulton Co., Ind.

[Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, December 19, 1903] PRIEST, ARNOLD M. [Rochester, Indiana] ARNOLD M. PRIEST FILES PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY Arnold M. Priest of Mishawaka, who for many years was identified with various business enterprises in this city which included several groceries and a dairy route, filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy in the South Bend District Federal Court on May 24. Notices that Mr. Priest had filed the petition in bankruptcy were received in this city this morning by the local creditors from Alvin Marsh, trustee in bankruptcy. A meeting of Mr. Priest’s creditors will be held in room 405, Pythian Building, South Bend at 2 p.m. June 5, at which time Referee Marsh will appoint a trustee to take charge of the former local business man’s affairs. [The News-Sentinel, Tuesday, May 29, 1928] PRIEST AUTOMOBILE TOP & UPHOLSTERING [Rochester, Indiana] C. J. Priest, of Kokomo, who conducted an automobile top and upholstering repair shop here some time ago, has returned to Rochester with the announced intention of again opening his place of business. Work at the Haynes factory, at Kokomo, he said, has become rather slack recently. [Rochester Sentinel, Monday, August 7, 1922] PRIEST GROCERY [Rochester, Indiana]
