Looking back: news from the Morrow County Independent
July, 1941: Attending the 105th anniversary services of St. John Lutheran Church, Windfall, were 700 people; Ray Culp of Lincoln Township suffered multiple bruises when he was attacked by a bull at the Ruppersburg Fruit Farm on Worthington-New Haven Road.
July, 1971: Cecil Maxwell of Riverside Dairy, celebrating its 20th anniversary, offered dairy products at 1951 prices. The dairy sold 15 products in 1951 and in 1971 sold 115. Kenneth Jenkins, former Cardington resident and Morrow County engineer, was enjoying his retirement in Florida by building a model railroad layout in his garage.
July, 1981: Billy May, a teacher at Cardington-Lincoln High School, retired from the education profession. He had also served in the armed forces during World War II. Cardington’s only grocery, Kinsell Foods, even though it was heavily damaged by the June 13 tornado, opened early in July for business.
