Hugh A. Barnhart
Hugh
A. BARNHART, who achieved local, state and national distinction during a long
and diverse career, died at 8 a.m. Sunday at Woodlawn Hospital. He was 93 years of age.
Mr.
Barnhart, a resident of the southeast shore of Lake Manitou, was admitted to
the hospital Wednesday from Canterbury Manor, where he had been a patient since
May 19, 1985.
Funeral
services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Zimmerman Brothers Funeral
Home, Rochester, with the Rev. Donald MAUGHAN officiating. Friends may call from 2-8 p.m. today and for
two hours prior to services. Memorials
may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
Mr.
Barnhart was the last survivor of a family whose members had been prominent in
Rochester and Fulton County affairs continuously for almost a century. His father, Henry A. BARNHART, was publisher
of The Sentinel from 1886 to 1908 and then served five terms in the U.S. Congress. His brother, Dean L. [BARNHART], also was
publisher of The Sentinel from 1913-19.
Hugh
Barnhart began his professional career with the family’s newspaper, succeeding
his brother as editor and publisher in 1919 upon his return from U.S. Army
service in World War I. He yielded the
role of publisher in 1962, but continued to be involved in The Sentinel’s
operation until the sale of his remaining interst in 1976.
While
directing the city’s daily newspaper, he launched a parallel career in 1934
when he became president of the Rochester Telephone company upon the death of
his father, who had been one of the firm’s founders in 1896.
In
the ensuing 42 years until his retirement in 1976, Mr. Barnhart presided over
the continued modernization and growth of this independent utility, also
gaining state and national prominence among telephone industry leaders.
He
served as president of the United States Independent Telephone Association in
1958-59, later receiving the association’s Distinguished Service Award and in
1982 was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Independent Telephone Pioneer
Association. In 1959, he was name
“Telephone Man of the Year” by the Indiana Telephone Association. He will be inducted by the Indiana
Journalism Hall of Fame in April. He
remained as a director of the local telephone company until December, 1981.
Inheriting
his father’s interest in the Democratic party, Mr. Barnhart also pursued a
political career that took a different but equally distinguished path.
At
his death, he remained the only man in Indiana politics to have served as
director of three separate state governmental departments: Indiana Highway Commission (1931-33),
Indiana Excise Department (1937-41), and Indiana Conservation Department
(1941-45). In addition, he was the Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Congress in 1936
but lost a close Second District race to Republican Charles HALLECK.
Despite
his involvement in state and national offices, Mr. Barnhart’s lifelong interest
and involvement in the progress of his own community never diminished. And in 1972 this culminated when he and his
wife donated $100,000 to Rochester Community Schools for the construction of
the new high school athletic field that now bears their name.
On
the local scene, he was first commander of the Rochester American Legion Post,
first president of the Rochester Kiwanis club, was president of the Rochester
Chamber of Commerce and of the Rochester country club, which became an Elks
lodge. He was a member and trustee of
the First Baptist church, and a 50-year member of the Masonic lodge and Royal
Arch.
Mr.
Barnhart also was a life director and former vice president of the Indiana
State Chamber of commerce and also served as a dirctor of Public Service
Indiana from 1944-69. He
was
called to Washington in 1955 for six months’ duty with the U.S. Department of
Commerce as a businessman consultant in the field of communications.
Among
his local achievements, in all of which he took major roles of leadership, were
the location in the city of the U.S. fish hatcheries, of Cole Brothers circus
winter quarters and of Topps Garment company, all during the 193-s, and of the
Sealed Power Corporation plant in 1948.
Until
his latter years, he was an avid golfer.
With his wife, Martha, he traveled frequently throughout the United
States and Europe. In addition, he
retained a lively interest in local history and contributed many articles to
The Sentinel and for the Fulton County Historical Society from his vivid
recollections of earlier people and events.
Born
Hugh Arthur BARNHART on July 14, 1892, at the family home at 1118 Main street,
he was the son of Henry A. and Louretta LEFFEL BARNHART. His marriage was June 25, 1928, in the First
Baptist church here to Martha ANSPAUGH of Angola, who had come to the city as
an elementary school teacher. The
couple had no children.
He
attended both grade and high school here, quite early showing an athletic
ability that was to earn him considerable renown. He was a member of the first Rochester high school basketball and
baseball teams of 1907-08 and was the hardwood squad’s leading scorer
throughout his careet.
He
was graduated as president of the senior class of RHS in 1911, the year of the
first state high school basketball tournament.
Teams were invited to participate that year on the basis of their season
records and Rochester was among them.
RHS
wanted to include Barnhart on its tournament team, although he finished his
studies at mid-year and had entered the University of Notre Dame. Other schools objected, however, and he was
ruled ineligible. It was the first of
the many eligibility controversies in the history of the IHSAA tourney and one
in which Mr. Barnhart found much humor in recounting. Without its high scorer, RHS lost its opening tourney game to New
Albany, 19-18.
He
did not return to Notre Dame after one semester but enrolled instead at Indiana
University. There he was a member of
both football and basketball teams. He
was graduated in 1915 with a degree in economics. At I.U., he was president of his senior class, member of the Indiana
University Union Board and of Delta Tau Delta social fraternity.
Mr.
Barnhart retained a lifelong interest in Indiana Universiy alumni affairs and
later was honored by the university with its Distinguished Alumni Service
Award, a 50-year I-Man Award, and with the Z.G. Clevenger Award, highest honor
bestowed on living I-Men.
After
graduation from I.U., he worked in the advertising department of Holcomb and
Hoke Manufacturing company in Indianapolis until the outbreak of World War
I. He then volunteered at Fort Benjamin
Harrison in Indianapolis on May 15, 1917, and after training was commissioned
as a second lieutenant in the regular U.S. Army on Aug. 15. He served with the 82nd Field Artillery
until his discharge June 15, 1919, as a first lieutenant, also having been
regimental adjutant. For the ensing 10
years, he was a captain in the Army Reserve Corps.
Following
his return to Rochester in 1919 as publisher of The Sentinel, Mr. Barnhart in
1924 effected a consolidation of two local daily newspapers to form, with the
late Floyd “Pete” Van TRUMP as co-publisher, The News-Sentinel. The paper continued under this name until
1961, when its original title was resumed under the joint ownership of Mr.
Barnhart and Jack K. OVERMYER, the present owner and publisher.
Mr.
Barnhart’s activity in state government over the years involved more than
service as head of three different departments.
His
appointments to state positions came under four different governors: Harry
Leslie, Paul McNutt, Clifford Townsent and Henry Schricker. He served on the General Pulaski
Commission in 1929, was a member of the Indiana
Delagation of Council of State Governments from 1939-43, the Indiana Economic
Council 1941-45, Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board 1941-45, State Soil
Conservation Committee 1941-45, “Little Hoover” Commission on government
reorganization 1955-56 and Advisory Committee to Indiana University 1950-52.
In
addition, he had been president of the Indiana Democratic Editorial
Association, was vice president of the Indiana Circus Corporation, a director
of both the Independent Telephone Pioneer Association and of Transcontinental
Motor Inns Inc., of Fort Wayne, and a lifetime honorary director of the Indiana
Telephone Association.
Besides
his other local activities and offices, he also was a member of the Izaak
Walton League, Odd Fellows lodge, Moose and Elks lodge, Fulton County
Historical Society and president of the Rochester Community School Building
Corporation.
He
also belonged to the Indianapolis Athletic Club, Sigma Delta Chi professional
journalism fraternity, Indianapolis Press Club, Hoosier State Press and Inland
Daily Press Association, Indiana Society of Chicago, Indiana Historical
Sociaty, Indiana Audubon Society and Indiana Museum Society.
Mr.
Barnhart had been honored by his local peers with the Chamber of Commerce’s
Community Service Award and by Indiana Governor Harold HANDLEY as a “Sagamore
of the Wabash” for his service to the state.
Mr.
and Mrs. Barnhart resided at their lakeshore home on Country Club Drive at Lake
Manitou. He long was interested in the
continuing viality oif the lake and its surrounding community and had been
active many years as a diretor of the Lake Manitou Association.
He
pursued a hobby of bird watching from his lake home, including the keeping of
yearly records of the migration of martins.
He kept readers of The Sentinel informed of his unusual sightings under
the pseudonym of “The Manitou Birdwatcher.”
He
is survived by his wife, Martha, at home, and by three nieces: Mrs. John (Mary
Louise) NOVOTNY, Goshen; Mrs. Robert (Jane) TILLETT, Osceola, and Mrs. John
(Isabelle) BURCHFIELD, Denver, Colo.

Jennifer D. Sriver,
Franklin M. Dimmock,
Michael J. Davis and

Traffic
crashes killed four people in Fulton County durng a 24-hour period over the
weekend.
All
were one-car accidents. All involved
residents or former residents of the county.
Dead
are:
*
Jennifer D. SRIVER, 20, kron, killed at 4:30 a.m. Sunday;
*
Franklin M. DIMMOCK, 21, Silver Lake, and Michael J. DAVIS, 31, Rt. 1, Burket,
killed at 4:30 a.m. Saturday;
*
John H. KATS Jr., 29, Hammond, who died about 7:30 a.m. Saturday in Woodlawn
Hospital.
The
fatalities brought to 10 the number of people killed on Fulton County roads
this year. It is believed it is the
first time in county history that so many have died in separate accidents in
such a short period.
Miss
Sriver was killed when her southbound car went off the west side of Indiana 14
north of Akron, sideswiped a utility pole, went through a fence and over a
corner post, rolled over through another fence and came to rest against a
parked car.
Fulton
County Coroner Joyce GOOD said Miss Sriver, who was thrown from her car, died
of a fractured skull and internal injuries.
The
accident occurred on the property of Lewis HERTSEL a mile north of Indiana 114.
State
police said Hertsel heard a noise about 4:30 a.m. Hertsel discovered Miss Sriver’s body outside her car about 6
a.m.
Police
said a girlfried of Miss Sriver who lives in Milford, about 12 miles north of
Warsaw, told them the two had been together during the day and that Miss Sriver
left Milford for home about 3:30 a.m.
State
police attributed the accident partly to fatigue of the driver.
Dimmock
and Davis were killed when the car that Dimmock was driving north went off the
west side of Old U.S. 31 North a mile north of Rochester and skidded broadside
into a tree, state police said.
Rochester
firemen and Fulton County Emergency Medical Service personnel had to use an
extrication tool to open the car doors and remove the bodies.
Mrs.
Good said Dimmock died of a skull fracture and Davis died of a broken neck.
State
police said that Kats was injured fatally about 5:30 a.m. when his eastbound
car went off the north side of Indiana 110 and came to rest in the former
Department of Highways garage site just west of Indiana 25, north of Talma.
Mrs.
Good said he was thrown from his car and died of multiple internal injuries.
Marshall
County and Fulton County police assisted in the investigation and the three
agencies determined the accident was in Fulton County. Indiana 110 is the dividing line between the
two counties.
Fulton
County police reported that the Kats vehicle was involved in an accident with
another car shortly before the fatal crash.
James
O. FIVECOATS, 28, Rt. 1, Mentone, told police that he was driving west on
Indiana 110 when the eastbound Katz car went over the center line and
sideswiped the Fivecoats car
about 5:15 a.m. Neither car was disabled.
Fivecoats
said he turned his car around and began pursuing the Kats car, but lost sight
of it. As he continued to drive east,
he saw the car off the road, he told police.

Brandie Peltz
Argos
- Murder has struck the rolling country side between Argos and Rochester for
the second time in 28 months.
Brandie
PELTZ, 11, daughter of Steven and Roxie PELTZ, 18300 S. Michigan Road, was
found by a passerby shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday in her burning home. She was face down in a full bathtub
downstairs. The Pelz residence is about
11 miles north of Rochester.
Marshall
County police are investigating her death as both arson and a murder. Home sick from Argos Elementary school, the
fifth grader is believed to have been strangled.
“We
don’t have any hot leads,” said Marshall County Prosecutor Fred JONES.
Forensic
pathologist Dr. Rick HOOVER is scheduled to perform an autopsy in South Bend at
5 p.m. today.
“Everything
would indicate it was a murder and there is nothing to indicate it was a
suicide,” Jones said.
“There
is reason to suspect it was a non-accidental fire,” Jones said. “It may have possibly been set to cover up
the death.” He declined to elaborate. The state fire marshal’s office is
investigating the fire, which is thought to have started upstairs.
The
crime was discovered when a neighbor driving by saw smoke. He drove to a nearby house, and told the
occupants to call the Argos Fire Department.
Jones declined to identify him.
The fire was reported at 3:09 p.m.
The
neighbor then drove back to the house, removed the family’s pet dog, discovered
the body and attempted to revive the victim.
Both
of her parents were at work at the time.
Jones said that Mrs. Peltz stopped at home during her lunch break to
check on her daughter, an only child.
The
family had received several harassing phone calls this week, Jones said. There was no conversation, only heavy
breathing, and the caller would hang up, Jones said. The calls weren’t reported to police but the Pletzes had
attempted to contact the telephone company, Jones said.
A
half-dozen police vehicles were at the roped-off scene until past 10 p.m.
Thursday. A county police car was
stationed at the house today.
As
Jones ended the press conference, he turned and said somberly to Sheriff
Richard TYSON, “Les’s get to work, we’ve got a lot to do.”
Jones
asked anyone with information to call Marshall County police at 936-3187.
Brandie
Peltz was born Oct. 11, 1975 in South Bend to Steven C. and Roxie R.
MILTONBERGER PELTZ. She was a lifetime
Marshall County resident, a fifth grade student in the Argos Community Schools,
and member of the Argos Wesleyan Church.

Brandie Peltz
Argos,
Ind. (AP) - An 11-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted and strangled to
death while staying home from school was to be put to rest today in a town that
is shocked by her death.
Funeral
services for Brandie PELTZ were scheduled for 1 p.m. at Wesleyan Church, where
the girl was active in the Sunday School program. Burial was to be in Maple Grove Cemetery.
Meanwhile,
at Argos Elementary School, where Brandie had bee a fifth-grade student,
principal Ron LEICHTY helped her classmates to deal with the murder. He told them to be patient, that the
investigation may take time, and that it was “OK to be sad, OK to cry if that’s
how the kids felt.”
Leichty
said Friday the class was taking donations for flowers and planned to attend
the funeral.
The
killing evokes memories for some of the 1,500 Argos residents of the unsolved
murder of a Marshall County woman two years ago.
The
Peltz slaying occurred less than two miles from the home where Darlene R.
HULSE, 28, ws beate to death Aug. 17, 1984.
Police say so far, there appears to be o connection between the two
cases, other than both deaths involved female victims at home during the day in
the same area of the county.
“I
kept my door unlocked up until today,” said Janice COOPER, a neighor of the
Peltzes who telephoned the fire department.
