Pa An artist in his field of endeavor was Bill Green. Bill had little or no interest in the painting of houses, barns or buildings of any type. He was in fact an artist, a sign kpainter of rate ability and scene painter whose name on a canvas might have brought in many a dollar had he so devoted his talents to such. In his school days he drew attention of his teachers by his ability to draw. The last time I ever saw Bill he was putting on an act with an accomplice in store windows wherein Bill’s associate played the part of a dead man who apparently didn’t breathe, move an eyelid or show any signs of life for hours at a time. Eventuall Bill wiped the dust of Fulton County off his feet and left for parts unknown. Link and Schuyler Osborn were local citizens and painters by trade although they did not work as partners or a team. Like many of the journeymen of their day they worked best with a wet whistle and much credit was due to the speed with which they could apply the wite lead and linseed oil. Then there was a “floater” who dropped into Rochester from wherever his hat was off last. Haven’t been able to find anybody here who remembers his name, but the boys over town got a great kick out of his bragging that he “painted the Masonic Temple” in Chicago. The stranger (and he was about Rochester for a number of years) was constantly inveigled into a local bargber shop by Bill Parker who then brought up the matter and got the subject off to a great start by agreeing with all that was said. The family of Spohns were all painters, the last of whom, as far as I know, was Vern who could throw more paint in a given time than a half-dozen other artisans. Of the once-greats, only Alf Van Dien is still living and I believe retired. Certainly there were others, the names of which I have forgotten, but held their place in the sun and were a part of Rochester’s history. I am glad for the memory of those tradesmen who came, labored and relinquished their posts that younger men could find employment to carry on the tradition. [Earle A. Miller, The News-Sentinel, Tuesday, July 7, 1959] PAINTERS UNION [Rochester, Indiana] FIRST ANNUAL BANQUET The first annual banquet of the Painters’ Union of this city, was held in Painters’ hall Monday evening, with twenty-two members present. The union was organized just one year ago Monday and the occasion was commemorated by a large spread which was enjoyed immensely. After supper a smoker was engaged in and various painters gave talks on the good of the order which were very interesting. The union has flourished ever since it was organized and the existing harmony among the members bespeaks still more prosperity for them.

[Rochester Sentinel, Wednesday, July 22, 1885] PALACE GARAGE [Akron, Indiana] Located in former Palace Livery Barn, N side of W Rochester Street. __________ Sterling Crosby and wife Lucinda Sippy Crosby married in Medina County, Ohio, Sept. 15, 1833. The Crosby family was supposed to have come to Akron in 1837 from Medina County, Ohio. He was the first shoemaker in the settlement. In 1837 the Crosbys erected a cabin on Rochester Street where the old Palace Garage is now located a block west of the stoplight. They kept open house and many weary travelers found comfortable lodging and a good meal at this Wayside Inn which was the first boarding house of the village. [Dr. Joseph Sippy Family, Velma Bright, Fulton Co Folks, Vol. 2, Willard] __________ PALACE BARN SOLD The Palace Livery Barn, of Akron, owned by John Meredith, was purchased this week by Howard Ball, Mearle Tucker and a man by the name of Rogers. The consideration was $5,000 and the new owners expect to put $5,000 more into the barn and equip it as a garage. They will take possession the first of February. In the future it will be known as the Palace Garage and will be one of the most commodious garages in the county. [Rochester Sentinel, Friday, January 13, 1922] TO PURCHASE GARAGE A deal was in progress at Akron Friday whereby Harry Showalter, former resident of this city, was to purchase the Palace Garage of Ball and Tucker. [Rochester Sentinel, Friday, May 18, 1923] AKRON GARAGE SOLD Harry Showalter Tuesday sold the Palace Garage in Akron, which he purchased two years ago when he returned from Florida, to Frank Comer of Roann. Mr. Showalter has no immediate plans for the future. [The News-Sentinel, Rochester, Indiana, Friday, May 15, 1925] SHOWALTER BUYS GARAGE Harry Showalter who has been in business in Tampa, Florida for the past eight months, on Thursday purchased the Palace Garage at Akron of Frank Comer and took immediate possession. At present no changes of employees will be made. Mr. Comer has no immediate plans for the future. Prior to his trip to Florida, Mr. Showalter, who for a number of years was employed in local garages, owned and operated the Palace Garage. While in Florida, Mr. Showalter was the president of the Auburn Tampa Company, dealers in automobiles and accessories. [The News-Sentinel, Rochester, Indiana, Saturday, June 12, 1926] AKRON GARAGE WAS SOLD TUESDAY TO ROY SHEETS
