Chief terms Birdseye blaze ‘suspicious’
BIRDSEYE — The Thursday fire that destroyed the Koerner Commercial Block building — it had been part of Birdseye’s downtown since the 1890s — is being called suspicious.
A call reporting smoke on the east side of State Road 145 south of State Road 64 came in at 3:18 p.m. Thursday. Birdseye Volunteer Fire Department Chief David “Smitty” Smith arrived at the 101 and 103 State Road 145 scene minutes later to find flames coming out front windows on the south end of the building.
As his department rolled into action, Smith quickly arranged for the fire departments in Schnellville and English to assist.
Four hours later, the chief was reporting that a representative with the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office had been closely studying some points on the south end of the building as the investigation into the fire’s cause got underway.
Smith said the fire was “suspicious in nature.” Firefighters remained on scene throughout the night. There were no injuries. Heavy equipment was brought in to take down remaining parts of the brick structure. The goal, Smith said, was to make the scene safe for vehicular traffic on State Road 145, for train traffic on the tracks on the north side of the building and for residents living on the south side of the Koerner Commercial Block.
Archie McCutcheon, chairman of the Save The Koerner Block Committee, initially hoped some remnants of the Koerner building could be saved. Today he was resigned to the structure’s loss but hopeful that a strong volunteer push to improve Birdseye and preserve its past will continue.
“We’re kind of in disbelief but there’s not much you can do about it,” McCutcheon said today.

Save the Koerner Block committee volunteers had been closing in on a year of activity — and successes — in an effort to rescue the part of Birdseye’s old downtown now reduced to rubble. There had been work sessions to stabilize the structure and clean the site. Brush had been cleared and multiple grants had been secured in the months since Indiana Landmarks secured an option agreement with the owners of the Koerner Block, Ronald and Karen Ellis, who had said they were willing to donate the building.
In late February of this year, the Dubois County Commissioners verbally agreed to the preservationists’ request to forgive approximately $10,000 in back taxes so a stabilized Koerner Block could be offered for $1 to a party that could demonstrate an ability to take it on and rehabilitate it.
Upon hearing of the devastating fire Thursday, Greg Sekula, Indiana Landmarks’ southern region director, sent out an email to volunteers.
“I am in shock and in a state of disbelief at this terrible news,” Sekula said. “So many of you have invested so much of your heart and soul and time in this effort ... for that I am most at a loss for words.”
Local fire crews responded to a fire at the Koerner Block Building on Thursday in Birdseye. (Jacob Wiegand/The Herald)
The Koerner Commercial Block was built to a grand scale in phases beginning in 1893. In June 2013, a portion of the rear of the building and its roof collapsed but Sekula had said it retained enough historic furnishings and artistic details to make it one of the most incredible commercial blocks he has seen in the 14 years in his post.
Smith said firefighters had managed to salvage some chairs from the front of the building that had reportedly been manufactured in it.
“Other than that,” the chief said, “there is not going to be much salvageable.”
The Dubois Rural Electric Cooperative and Dubois County Sheriff’s Department were among the agencies assisting at the scene.
Today, Smith thanked the agencies that assisted and the people who brought food and water to firefighters.
Two weeks ago, Sekula and McCutcheon had met with Newburgh architect Adam Green and New Albany masonry restoration expert Tom Johnson. They had been making plans for new walls, floors, ceiling joists and roofing.
Sekula said in his email that he was not sure how the volunteer group would move forward.
“I’m hoping something can be salvaged and some good can come out of this tragedy for Birdseye,” Sekula said.
“We’ve got all these (volunteers) working and we don’t need to say goodbye to everything,” McCutcheon said. “There are several things that need to be done around town that we can work on.
“We need to keep everybody’s head up and move on. We need to keep the town moving.

2. TWO PROMINENT CITIZENS DEAD
Two well known citizens of Tacoma,' each 79 years of age, yesterday joined the silent majority. Charles J. Kershaw, formerly prominent on the board of trade at Milwaukee and Chicago, where he was active in grain circles, died at his home on North I street and William E. Daniel passed away at the ranch of B. F. Gloyd on the Indian reservation. Pneumonia ended the life of Mr. Kershaw and Mr. Daniel was taken suddenly ill with neuralgia of the heart and died in a few moments. (The Tacoma Times, May 9, 1910)3. Charles J. Kershaw, aged 79 years, one of the best known pioneer citizens of Tacoma, and for many years a prominent figure in grain circles on the Chicago and Milwaukee boards of trade, died at his residence, 410 North I street, at 8 o'clock last night of an acute attack of jaundice and pneumonia. He had been ill some months but only ten months ago took to his bed.
Mr. Kershaw was born in Birnley, Lancashire, England, and at the age of 9 years was brought to Montreal, Canada, by his parents. He finished his education in that city and then engaged in the milling business with his father. In the early 50's Mr. Kershaw moved to Chicago, where he established the grain establishment of C.J. Kershaw & Co. He operated in the wheat market during the time of the late P.D. Armour and other big dealers and was for many years the head of one of the largest firms of the kind in the Middle West.
In 1887 Mr. Kershaw retired from active business and moved to Tacoma, where he had since resided with his wife and family. He came of a long lived family, his mother passing away at the age of 94 years. Mr. Kershaw was father of 11 children, six of whom survive him.
He was married in Milwaukee in 1856 to Miss Mary Leavenworth, who was the daughter of the noted army colonel of that name, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., being named after her grandfather, Gen. Leavenworth. Four years ago in Tacoma, Mr. & Mrs. Kershaw celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Mrs. Kershaw still survives, and the children living are P.H. Kershaw, Tacoma; H.B. Kershaw, Walla Walla; Leavenworth Kershaw, Dawson, Alaska; Mrs. H. Cranston Potter, Mrs. Burton J. Lee and Miss Jessie Kershaw. Mrs. Potter has been traveling in Europe and was notified of the failing health of her father. She is expected home in time to attend the funeral. (Tacoma Daily Ledger, May 09, 1910, p. 3)

DEATH OVERTAKES PROMINENT FARMER WHILE ENROUTE WEST
A message received last Friday by Charles Huntoon of Elgin stated that his father, Otis Huntoon, had passed away Thursday afternoon, December 13 at 5:30, at Rawlins, Wyo. Death was due to heart failure and the high altitude. Mr. Huntoon accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Mabel, left Elgin last week enroute to Long Beach Calif., where they went to spend the winter together. The report of his death was indeed a sad shock to the entire community though he had been known to be a sufferer from asthma for many years and also suffered from heart trouble. He left home in as good health as usual and had expected that another winter in California would bring him back home in as good health as it had done in years before. Otis Huntoon was of remote Scotch descent. He was born in Eastern Townships, Stanstead county, Canada August 18, 1836. His parents soon after moved to Vermont, where he grew up on a farm, attending the common school and Derby Academy. In 1858 he went to Fond du Lac county, Wis., and thence came to this state in 1862, He first settled in Viola, but two years later sold and bought his present farm in section 31, Plainview township, where he has since resided. He conducted a large farm and devoted many years to stock raising, feeding large quantities of cattle and hogs for the market. He has been iminently successful in all his undertakings and has a large amount of this world's goods He was a staunch Republican and has served his township in many official capacities. He had been married three times. His first wife was Miss Viola Chase of Vermont, to whom he was united in marriage in 1861. She died November I860, leaving two children, Mrs. Nora Craig of Long Beach, Cal., and Miles of Saskatchewan, Canada. In August 1867, he was married again to Mrs. Emma Sharp of Dover. She died June 8, 1881, leaving six children, Grant of Langford, N. D., Mrs. Grave Vermilya, Dexter, Mrs. Rosa Vermilya, Forest Grove, Ore., Mrs. Charlotta Biers, Little Vally, Archie, Gelena, Wash., and Mrs. Daisy Tennyson, St. Paul. His third marriage was to Miss Lodena Sharp, who survives him. Two children, Mabel and Charles, who are at home were born to them. Mr. Huntoon was among the early settlers on this prairie and has been instrumental in the upbuilding of this community. He has been one of our leading farmers and was the possessor of one of the largest farms in this section. He was a man honored and esteemed by all. So far no word has come as to funeral arrangements, but it is understood that Mrs. Huntoon and daughter continued to California with the remains where they will be held until spring before returning home. (The Plainview News, Dec. 21, 1917, p. 2)10. OTIS HUNTOON

Notes:
1. Huntoon, Otis, (page 1337 ~ not listed in the index) Plainview farmer, is of remote Scotch descent. His father, Philip, was a native of New Hampshire, as was his mother, Hannah Morrison. Samuel Morrison, father of the latter, was a Revolutionary soldier. Otis Huntoon was born in Eastern Townships, Stanstead county, Canada, August 18, 1836. His parents soon after moved to Vermont, where he grew up on a farm, attending the common school and Derby academy. In 1858 he went to Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin, and came thence to this state in 1862. He at first settled in Viola, Olmsted county, but two years later sold, and bought his present farm in section 31, Plainview. He now has 293 acres, and is engaged in mixed farming. His stock includes 35 cattle, 15 horses, and 45 hogs. During this spring's seeding he is working some half-blood Norman two- year-old colts that give promise of making heavy horses. Mr. Huntoon bears typical New England features of face and character. Like his father before him, he is a firm believer in the principles of Republicanism. He has served this town as assessor for seven years, and in 1875 and 1880 took its census. He has had two wives, neither of whom is now living.

Mrs. Lodena Huntoon of Elgin Township, Passed Away Saturday of Pneumonia
Mrs. Lodena Huntoon passed away at the home of her son, Charles, on the Huntoon farm, east of this village on Saturday, November 25, 1922, at noon, after years of invalidism due to a stroke of paralysis suffered six years ago last April. For the past year she had been practically helpless, her daughter, Mabel, having been with her to care for her during that time. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia from which she had suffered but a short time. Mrs. Huntoon was a woman whose life was devoted to her family and friends. A splendid neighbor, there was not one among them, who did not love and respect lier. She was most energetic and a tireless worker, and even after she became an invalid, she did not give up but managed her work wonderfully. During the past year when her strength had failed she was a patient sufferer, always thoughtful of those about her. Lodena Sharp Huntoon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sharp, who Emigrated from England, was born in New York state, April 14,1851. When she was a very small child her parents came west to Wisconsin where she spent her girlhood days, attending school at Beaverdam and Ripon. After her graduation from Ripon college she taught school for a number of terms mostly in Minnesota. She was united in marriage to Otis Huntoon at Wabasha on September 16, 1884, and came to live on the farm near this village which has been her home ever since. Two children were born to this union, Charles and Miss Mabel Huntoon both at home. Mr. Huntoon passed away December 13, 1917. The deceased is survived by her own two children, Charles and Mabel, and by the following stepchildren: Mrs. Nora Craig of Long Beach, Calif., Miles Huntoon of Hoosier, Sask., Canada, Mrs. Jesse C.

1. Son of Horace Crandall and Lydia Lunt.
- Died, at the residence of her son, in Salem, Jan. 9th, 1849, Mrs. Lydia Crandall, of Charleston, aged 65 years, 4 months, and 4 days. Sister Crandall was born in Leyden, Mass., 1783. In 1831, she, with him who mourns her loss, embraced the religion of Jesus, and the following year joined the M. E. Church. The consistent, godly life which followed this profession, is good evidence that it was not a vain one. A mere form of religion could never satisfy her. She wanted the life and power of it. Without this, she was never at rest herself, nor willing that others should rest. She was, therefore, often constrained to exhort her brethren and sisters to greater faithfulness and perseverance, to more activity and zeal in the cause of Christ. And though that voice will be heard no more in class and prayer-meetings, those earnest exhortations will long be remembered by those who heard them. The society of which she was a member, feci and mourn her loss. One of its best members has been taken from them. But God has done it, and we submit. May He, by the instrumentality of her death, raise up others, who shall be ornaments to the church and heirs of life. A little more than two weeks before her death, she went to her son's, in Salem, to assist in taking care of her sick grandchildren. While there, she was taken down with lung fever, which caused her death. She has left behind her a beloved partner, with whom she had lived forty-seven years, he mourns, but not without hope. He lives in earnest expectation of soon joining her disembodied spirit in a better world. She has left, also, sons and daughters. These have lost a mother indeed. May the remembrance of her godly example, and earnest prayers, proves lasting benefit to their souls, here and hereafter. May this affliction be sanctified to the good of the bereaved family, and all connected therewith. Much more might be said in her praise, but we leave it to be revealed at the judgment of the great day. (Jan. 1849)- SALEM - Horace Crandall, a well known citizen, died suddenly at his home on the morning of the 15 th, of heart disease.

We had a darling daughter,
But death was in the land,
To snatch the precious treasure
From our happy household band.
In vain we strove to help her,
And thought we could not part
With the love of gentle Cora,
The darling of each heart.
But death the cruel enemy
Had marked the lovely star.
He heeded not our pleadings,
He cared not for our prayer.
We mourn for our dear Cora,
But yet a hope we have,
A hope that we may meet again
The darling of our love.
In that blest faith she sweetly sleeps.
Where all the dead must lie,
Till Christ in triumph comes again
From yonder shining sky.
There robed in glorious beauty
That angel child we see,
When we exchange this mortal life
For immortality.
