Happy Birthday, Julius; Goodbye, Hub

This mangled page from the Hobart News of March 29, 1923, tells us of Julius Wojahn's 68th birthday. He was born March 23, 1855, in Posen, Germany (Indiana Death Certificates).

I have the impression that his residence was more in Ainsworth than "near" it. Among his neighbors in the 1920 Census are the names Lindborg, Foreman, Miller, Nelson (Lovisa), and Hunter.

Just below that item we find Carrie Raschka hosting 40 people from the Merrillville Study Club in her Hobart home.

At the bottom of the column — is this the end of The Hub forever?
