You Can't Go to Joryville Again

The Hobart News of December 2, 1920, reported on the experience of a former local who returned to Indiana to find that time had not waited for him:

John Call of Michigan, a resident of Ainsworth twenty-five years ago, came here last week for a visit with his son. Mr. Call, after taking a walk in the south part of town, remarked that, although he walked all over Joryville, he did not observe a single spot that looked familiar to him.

His son would, I suppose, be John Call, Jr. who had married Lillian Buchfuehrer the previous year.

I still don't have enough information to find the Call family in any census. Perhaps I will when I go back to the pre-1899 newspapers, since this report places their residence around 1895.
