ORIGINS: The Richard Lieber Story
Discover the story of Col. Richard Lieber’s visionary leadership in establishing a system of state parks in Indiana. Through disappointing failure and resounding success, Indiana State Parks became a 100th birthday gift to Hoosiers. This presentation was developed by storyteller Bob Sander with financial support from the “Arts in the Parks” partnership between the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Arts Commission.

Bonneyville Mill Goshen Indiana - Mill Stones Grinding Corn
Operating Mill Stones - Grinding Corn. Bonneyville Mill, built in 1837, stands on an island circumvented by the Little Elkhart River. The Little Elkhart River is an extremely old meandering little river with many islands and oxbow lakes. Bonneyville Mill's unique location provides a constant flow of water due to the dam at the left-front of the Mill building. The dam has elevated levels to manage the water and flexible spillways. The water flow is channeled into the lowest level of the mill where it drops down onto and through two turbines. The turbines are attached to the main shaft and gears in the basement. The energy is then directed by pulleys, belts and gears to run the mill stones and other milling equipment. The excess water in the mill is jettisoned out and into a tail race that leads to the Little Elkhart River. As the water is spent from the turbines, the water then flows out from under the Mill and into the tail race. The interior of Bonneyville Mill is spectacular. Although they have two sets of mill stones to grind grain, the Miller, John Jenny is currently using just the one set identified in the video. Notice the capstone which is the moving stone. In the video you can identify the round holes on the either side of the stone that is used to hook the stone up and on the crane to clean and sharpen (dress) the stones. Seeing the holes is fascinating because usually they are covered in a wooden stone case. Here at Bonneyville, you can witness the grinding due to a plastic window accessing the stones, grain and the hook & crane holes. Throughout the three levels of the Mill you will see various types of milling equipment. The basement is a subterranean 4th level of the mill. It houses historical milling items that include shafts, gears and hand-hewn, carved, wooden pulleys. They are in exceptional condition and some of them are very large. I hope you enjoy the Bonneyville Mill video. The following is a history of Bonneyville Mill. - - - - - -
The Bonneyville Mill site was first owned by George Roudebush in 1832, then by Lewis M. Alverson in 1837. Edward Bonney bought a tract of land, 800 acres, for $600. Bonney employed local men to build a 40' by 40', 2 ½ story grist mill, sawmill and rock dam across the Little Elkhart River. The Bonneyville Mill opened in 1837 but the historic name painted on the mill states that it was established in 1832.
Bonney installed a large horizontal turbine which was supplied by the waters of Little Elkhart River. The horizontal turbine was a rare power source in 1837. Bonney sold the mill and its property in 1842 for $10,000.
The Bonneyville Mill had numerous owners until 1898. Cornelius Daily and his wife Lillie purchased the mill in 1898. The Daily's improved and updated the condition of the mill. One of their improvements was a dam constructed with ground limestone / handmade cement. Their restoration projects were rewarded handsomely. Their production alone increased up to 5,500 bushels a year. Their quality of ground buckwheat was renown by the Famous Buckwheat Flour.
Cornelius Daily worked his mill for 20 years. In 1918 Robert A. Blood, Cornelius's son-in-law, purchased the mill. Cornelius's other family members Michael Blood and Frank Mauck assisted in managing the mill.
Robert A. Blood and his family continued to update their mill by installing a water wheel in 1931 that operated a generator that created power for electricity. Their excess of electricity provided 30 farms in the vicinity. In 1935 they increased their grain storage capacity and ultimately increased their product line. They continued grinding their popular cornmeal and flour. They also ground livestock feed, sold fertilizer and sold electricity. Eventually their electricity was supplied by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. The mill had to pay $4,500 for the public electricity to be available for their mill.
Robert Blood died in 1943. Michael Blood, Robert's son and Frank Mauck continued running the mill. In 1962, Frank Mauch purchased Michael Blood's half-share of the mill. Frank carried on the mill's name and reputation.
The Bonneyville Mill was bought in 1968 by the Elkhart County Chapter of Michiana Watershed, Inc. The mill and the surrounding 155-acres were presented to the Elkhart County Park and Recreation Board in 1969. As of October, 1976, Bonneyville Mill was place on the National Register of Historic Places. Elkhart County has created a spectacular park with the Bonneyville Mill being the focal point.

The Great Gildersleeve: House Hunting / Leroy's Job / Gildy Makes a Will
The Great Gildersleeve (1941--1957), initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. Built around Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve, a character who had been a staple on the classic radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly, first introduced on Oct. 3, 1939, ep. #216. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who became a consistent McGee nemesis. You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee! became a Gildersleeve catchphrase. The character was given several conflicting first names on Fibber McGee and Molly, and on one episode his middle name was revealed as Philharmonic. Gildy admits as much at the end of Gildersleeve's Diary on the Fibber McGee and Molly series (Oct. 22, 1940).
He soon became so popular that Kraft Foods—looking primarily to promote its Parkay margarine spread — sponsored a new series with Peary's Gildersleeve as the central, slightly softened and slightly befuddled focus of a lively new family.
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
