• Rare as it is for a county to have a citizen who attains the age of 100, Parke County will in about 10 days have two.   Mary E. ALLEE of Bloomingdale will be 100 on Monday December 17, and join editor Arthur A. HARGRAVE as the county's second centenarian. Mrs. Allee is a life long resident of Penn Township and a birthright member of Friends Church in Bloomingdale. On her birthday, the 19th, Mrs. Allee will hold open house at her home, 1 ½ miles northwest of Annapolis, in the afternoon from 2 to 4 and in the evening form 7 to 8:30.   She will be just happy to greet her friends. - Tri-County News, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana Thursday 06 December 1956 – shared by Karen Zach
