THE PASSING OF
PETER W. FLEMING
----------
Peter W. Fleming of Warren county, the oldest child of Cornelius V. and Melinda H. Fleming was born in the old town of West Lebanon, November 20, 1838, died December 22, 1921, being 83 years, 32 days old.
He leaves to mourn his death one son, Leland Boyer, of Danville, Ill., one daughter, Mrs. Lois Fleming Chandler, of Williamsport, Ind., and one brother, Frank C. Fleming, of West Lebanon, Ind.
When a young man he began his business career as a clerk in a store of general merchandise. He later went into business with his father at West Lebanon. The store was known as Fleming & Son. When the Civil War broke out he left and enlisted in the 135th regiment in April 1864 and was discharged in September of the same year. When he returned from war the business was reorganized including the other brothers of the family and was known as Fleming Brothers. It remained this way for many years until he was elected Treasurer of Warren county in 1892. He filled that office for about ten years, with credit to himself and satisfaction to his friends. Soon after retiring from that office, he was elected cashier of the Wililamsport State Bank and a little later was made President of that institution. This position he held until the time of his death.
He was made a Mason at West Lebanon but when he changed his residence to Williamsport, he placed his membership with the brethern of that place and his wife and daughter were also made members of the Order of the Eastern Star. Like many young Masons, he had an ambition to take the higher degrees at Covington, the Knights Templar at Lafayette and the Scottish Rite at Indianapolis. Although the teachings of these grand and noble orders would seem to meet the spiritual requirements of mankind, yet he felt that something more was ncessary[sic] to make his peace secure so he united with the Methodist church and found great comfort in the abiding faith that looks upward to a happy reward in the Great Beyond.

Jay Fleming Robbed?
----------
Last Sunday evening Jay Fleming, of Winchester, went to see his best girl. There is nothing especially startling about his little item, with the single exception that it was Jay Fleming. Now Mr. Fleming is a very modest young man and withal, of a very unperturbable nature; and though his occupation compels him to live a sedentary life, he fosters a very vigorous and active imagination. But, to return to our stoy, he called on his best girl. The only criticism the latter deserves is the fact that she held him too long. The shades of night had fallen. Whether his hesitency in going was due to his fear of the midnight darkness, or to the bewitching influence of his lady friend, it would be unfair to her to conjecture. Howbeit, he finally braved the elements and pursued his way homeward. Soon the alarm of a "hold up" was given out, and detective Fletcher , who is still suffering from the effects of a broken leg, was called from his slumbers, and hobbled into the night in search of the highwaymen. He obtained the following facts: Jay Fleming was going home from seeing his best girl. In the alley between Dr. Carver's and the residence of Mr. Vorhis he was stopped by masked men who forced revolvers to his face and demanded his diamond pin and watch. On obtaining these the highwaymen escaped leaving no clue to their identity. Such is the story told by Mr. Fleming. When morning dawned the news of another robbery being added to the long list of recent robberies in Winchester, alarmed the populace and became the subject of the morning's gossip. Meanwhile detective Fletcher was alert, and before the morning hours had passed away succeeded in finding the jewelry in the hands of the victim's best girl. "He left them with me" she said. Now there are several theories regarding the hold up. Some think that "Little Orphan Annie" had much to do with it, and that the shades of low twelve induced the young man to believe he was really held up. Another theory, and one now encouraged by the victim himself, is that it was all a joke. Now this theory is very generally believed, since it is known that Mr. Fleming is excellent at jokes. The midnight hour had arrived. "Oh, my sweetheart," said he, "the night is dank and dark but I needs must go. Howbeit the fiends are afoot, and I have jewelry of much consequence on my person. Let me leave it with you, O sweetheart, so that should the gobblins get me you may keep them as fond remembrances."
The night was brested and the darkness pierced without excitement. To make himself feel that his fears were not groundless, he manufactures the "joke" of a hold up.
Some people are excellent at jokes.

A REMONSTRANCE.
Middletown, Ind. Aug. 9, 1862
----------
This is to certify that some five or six of George W. Julian's friends took possession of the polls at this place, and notwithstanding the most urgent protests of B. B. Murphey and others, they refused to divide the Board with the anti-Julian men. We, as Union men, irrespective of party, considered it a ursurpation, and refused to vote.
