HOMETOWN HISTORY
Tri-State History October 1979 to December 1980
By Harold Morgan
October 1979: $1,200,000 improvements to Roberts
Stadium was authorized but without any air-conditioning.
The one-mile-long Ray Becker Parkway that would
extend St Joseph Avenue was begun in January 1976; it
was hoped to open in the month of October. Two preschool
girls were found dead in an abandoned refrigerator;
they may have died only moments before discovery.
The Luggage Shop on the Main Street Walkway was
destroyed by fire. The University of Evansville opened
the Memorial Plaza on the school campus; it was dedicated
to the 1979 Aces basketball team, staff and friends
who died in an airplane crash.
November 1979: The Atheneum in New Harmony
was completed at a cost of $1,800,000. Iranian students
seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took
35 Americans as prisoners. They then seized two U.S.
consulates and the British Embassy in Tehran. Two
weeks later the Iran hostage holders released six women
and eight men to return to the U.S. The Posey County
government was without any liability insurance, due to
poor road maintenance, with an impending large lawsuit
regarding poor road conditions.
December 1979: The United States demanded that
Iran publicly show all 50 U.S. embassy captives. The
deposed Shah of Iran left his New York City hospital
to enter a military setting for his recovery from cancer
surgery. Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini ridiculed President

his words) “those old enough to know they don’t have
all the answers, and young enough to still be searching
for them.”

Harold Says So Long
After many years of gracing the pages of the
Maturity Journal, writer Harold Morgan has
decided it’s time to retire, and deservedly so. As
many from his generation, Harold has displayed
a tireless work ethic, and in over 20 years the
man NEVER missed a deadline.
Beginning in August, the Vanderburgh
County Historical Society will continue his
Hometown History column, showing that it
will take several men to take his place. We will
miss Harold dearly and wish him many years
of enjoyment on his new adventure. He assures us that there may come a
time to contribute a little more, but even if he can’t find the time, we will
be forever grateful for his service.
If you would like to share your appreciation, you can send a message to
Harold at Maturity Journal, 8077 Marywood Dr., Newburgh IN 47630 or

Editor’s Note: Having grown up in
Evansville and being an avid card
player, I always told people that the
card game Clabber’s roots were right
here in Evansville. In fact, I used to
spread that information to anyone
who would listen, and I know many
of my friends did the same.
Thanks to MJ reader Paul Buttram,
whose father is mentioned in
the following story, we finally have
some proof to back up the claim. This
story appeared on September 27,
1931 in the Evansville Press. Please
remember that the references reflect
the era in which the story was written.
Picture a warm, dimly-lit spot in
a boiler room of an Ohio River company

strange terms. “Belle Dad,” says one

Though an onlooker might
know every card game
in the Book of Hoyle,
this one would be a mystery
to him.
The scene changes
to the patrol at the Evansville
police headquarters,
40 years ago. Black “trustees”
from the jail are seen
clustered around a table
playing the same strange game.
A 10-year-old white boy looks on.
“Say, I’d like to learn that,” the boy
says.
The men are obliging. They teach
him the mysteries of the “Belle” and
“Dad” and the “Four Mules”. What’s
the name of this game.” Asks the boy.
“Well, I don’t rightly know that
it has a name,” replied one of the
trustees. “We mostly calls it Clabber.

I don’t know who gave it that name.
And that’s how Walter Schlange,
president of the Evansville Clabber
Club, learned to play one of the most
intricate card games there is — a card
game that so far as anyone has been
able to discover, is known and played
nowhere else in the world except
Evansville.
All these years, the game has
been played without a definite set of
rules. In fact, various groups played
it in slightly different ways. Now,
that is all about to be corrected. The
man largely responsible for it is Leo
Buttram, secretary of the Evansville
Clabber Club.
Buttram and some of his friends
were invited one evening by the firemen
in Hose House #15 to sit in on
a Clabber session. But the Firemen’s
rules were different, and as a result,
Buttram’s crew took a beating against
the firemen.
Buttram got to thinking. “There
ought to be some established rules,”
he thought to himself. To find out if
there were any rules, he wrote to the
Evansville Press Washington Bureau,

Maturity Journal
which referred him to the United
States Playing Card Company in
Cincinnati. The company replied
that no such game had ever been
heard of. Clabber was not even included
in The Book of Hoyle.
But the company was interested.
“Why not draw up some rules,
submit them to us and let us include
them in the next edition of Hoyle-
Up-To-Date,” the company suggested
to Mr. Buttram.
So Buttram got busy rounding
up his buddies and the Evansville
Clabber Club was organized. They
had meeting after meeting, formulating
rules and making changes, and
finally the rules were complete.
Notification was finally received
that the United States Playing Card
Company had accepted the rules for
publication in the next edition of
Hoyle.
Incidentally, the name is being
copyrighted by the Clabber Club
and will be listed in Hoyle as “Evansville
Clabber” so that it will go down
in history as an Evansville game.
Who actually started the game
and how old it is, no one seems to
know. Schlange, who has been playing
Clabber for 40 years, believes that
it was originated by the Negro steamboat
roustabouts. “Clabber seems to
be a cross between pinochle and an
old game called ‘Jass,’ said Schlange.
“There are some points of similarity
to both games.”
Schlange said he believed Clabber
is played more for the pure sport
than in any other card game. “I’ve
never played Clabber for money in
my life,” he declared, “and I’d venture
to say that 90 percent of those
who play it don’t have a penny on the
game. It’s a game that doesn’t have to
have the added interest of gambling
to make it exciting.” MJ

Silly. I’m 71 years old. One

What’s the backstory here?
I started juggling baseballs long

It was something to do in the dugout

Bored During Pandemic? Learn to Juggle a Shot Put
by Garret Matthews, Former columnist, Evansville Courier & Press

I’d add an eight-pound bowling ball
to the act if we made the playoffs.
We didn’t, but I mastered the trick
anyway.
What was your secret to success?
Channeling my inner Paul
Bunyan.
And the shot put?
A birthday present. I decided
to stage the occasional track and
field competition — well, field —
with myself. And like all shot-putters
worth their sinews, I had a great
grunt — “HARRUMGOOSBAH,”
just as the thing left my fingers.
You threw it in the backyard?
I wanted to give the neighbors
something to talk about, and the

went
down by 80
percent. They
hate it when
the round ball hits home.

enjoyed it when I farted trying to

No, because she understood the
plus side. We lived in a rural area
and I don’t own a gun. Any prowler

must-see mug shot.
We conducted a Google search
for Jugglers of Ponderous Masses
and your name did not come up.
What happened?
When I no longer had baseball
kids to goof around with, I put away
my bowling ball and shot put. It was
like the Peter, Paul and Mary song,
“Puff The Magic Dragon.” Dragons
live forever, but not so little boys.
The “Puff” thing. Did you
inhale?
Never mind that. Suffice to
say the heavy stuff was relegated to
the deep recesses of the basement.
Decades went by. I retired from
juggling except for the occasional
request for a parlor trick when I’d
grab something like a spoon, a mustard
packet and a salt shaker.
So you moved on with your life
and quit assassinating moles.
Yes. And then the pandemic hit.
I was bored out of my mind, so I
started fooling around with the shot
put.
Level with us. There must be
another reason to toss weight.
Maybe the right person will bear
witness and give me money.
Not very likely.

You’re well into your golden
years. Isn’t it hard for a man your
age to keep the ball of iron aloft?
I can hold a plank for three minutes
and do more than my share of
push-ups. I engage in some kind of
strength training almost every day.
See earlier reference to boredom.
Do you practice safe shot put?
Yes. I juggle over the bed. Better
to have a dent in the mattress than
my foot. MJ

Estate Planning in the
Age of Bitcoin
When I meet with clients for their estate planning,
I always ask about their assets-real estate, tangible items,
vehicles, boats, retirement accounts, bank accounts, collectibles,
etc; but now, I routinely ask “Do you own any
Cryptocurrency?”
Cryptocurrency is basically unregulated “digital
cash” that is a bearer account that exists only in the
digital world, is stored on a digital ledger, and is not
regulated nor are any records kept by any government
or financial institution. Over 10% of people in the U.S.
now own some form of Cryptocurrency. The most common
is Bitcoin, but many others exist such as Dogecoin,
Ethereum, Ripple, and Dash. The price of each one can
vary wildly. Bitcoin traded as high as $64,000 in April
of 2021 only to drop tens of thousands in months after.
Since Bitcoin has existed for just over a decade, there is
no real track record. Many established companies now
accept Bitcoin as form of payment along with many
banks, Paypal and some professional sports teams for
their players’ compensation. El Salvador is the first
country to formally accept and to require all businesses,
except those without the technology, to accept payment
in Bitcoin.
Over 20% of all Bitcoin (and other digital cash) are
lost. If you put regular cash in a safe, it can be accessed by
some means. But Bitcoin and others can only be accessed
by a unique “private key”similar to a password. If lost,
the Cryptocurrency can never be accessed or found.
There are stories of many people losing access to their
Cryptocurrency, such as Stefan Thomas, a programmer
who lost $220 million of Bitcoin, and Matthew Mellon,
heir to Mellon Bank, who died leaving his executor no
access to over $500 million of Bitcoin.
What to do if you own Cryptocurrency? Casa is a
company that requires signatures of 3 of 6 trusted individuals
to access the private key at death. A “dead man”
switch that releases the key to pre-determined heirs on
death or inactivity of account for, say, 6 months is another
option being explored. These can be quite expensive,
sometimes running hundreds or thousands a month.
You can also tell your lawyer, trusted friends, or family,
or seal the private key in a letter to be opened at death, or
even put it in a safety deposit box.
For Cryptocurrency it is important to consider and
document in your estate planning who would inherit,
if owned. Of course, you don’t want to put the “private
key” in the Will since it would eventually become public
record. I recommend clients to keep the private key safe
but accessible by those you trust upon death or disability.

The Cooking Corner
By Jancey Smith
Flaming Corn
Visit janceys.blogspot.com
One of my favorite things about summer in the midwest
is sweet corn. It's locally grown freshness that melts
in your mouth (as butter drips down your chin). Having
it right here and fresh is the best, kind of like pineapples
in Hawaii.
I always make corn for Memorial Day; it marks the
beginning of summer (although, that corn is rarely as
good as the corn about the 4th of July.) We tried to boil
it on the side burner of the grill once — but it was not
happening. Either there was too much wind that day or
there just wasn't enough "umph" in the gas for that big of
a pot. I mean really, isn't part of the joy of grilling NOT
heating up the kitchen? Nothing does that better than
boiling water.
The hubby and I have done much pondering on
the art of grilling corn, as we have never mastered the
method. So, a few weeks ago we let the experimenting
begin. We must have dug through 3 or 4 food magazines
finding various recommendations on soaking time, cook
in the husk or straight on the grill, direct or indirect heat
. . . the variables went on and on.
Maturity Journal
So, what we did was soak them for half an hour after
pulling out the silks, grill for about 30 minutes over
medium high heat, and rotate often. However, not often
enough it would seem. Just as dusk was settling over the
front porch, we detected flames spiking up from the grill
once again. I raised the lid, and my husband valiantly
tried to fight the flaming ear of corn. (Those husks dry
out quick if you peel a few layers off.) He rolled it all
around the grill in the stop, drop & roll fashion — but
to no avail. Finally, he plopped it over on the side burner
(that wasn't in use at the time) and started smacking it
all over with the spatula. The flames were growing smaller
and less threatening by this time, so we finally just
let that one smolder out. The topper of the adventure

was when he blandly looked at me,
batted his eyes and said, "Honey, I
meant to do that," — PRICELESS.
It wasn't a disaster and the corn
was edible, but the bright spot of the
evening, besides not burning down
the porch, was the lime/cilantro butter
that we slathered all over the
corn.

There is a common 4-letter word hidden in each row of letters in column 1. Think of the rows in column 2 as open

There are different possibilities for some, but only one way in which each row of letters and each set of windows are
used only once. Good luck!

The Mis-Adventures of
Bob Hollis
Trouble in River City
by Bob Hollis, MJ reader
In the 1940s
we were at war with
Germany. I was 8 or
9 years old at this
time. My brother
Jim and a couple
of his buddies told
me that they were
going to Germania
Maennerchor to get
some cigarettes and candy and they wanted me to go
and “help carry stuff.” I didn’t know any better, but the
candy interested me, so I went along. We got to the alley
behind the place and climbed on top of a garage, walked
along the top of a fence, climbed onto another building
that was attached to the Maennerchor and went in a
window on the 2nd floor. Inside, there was a long bar
with cigarettes and candy behind the bar on a shelf. We
loaded up and left. I was told that it was OK because
they were Germans. I went along on this adventure a
couple of different times. However, one day, as we got
into the room there was a hangman’s noose hanging by
the bar. Apparently, someone was onto us. We got the
message, so we left in a hurry and never went back! MJ

Picturing Our Past
by Pat Sides,
Archivist at Willard Library
Karl Kae Knecht
One of the most memorable personalities in Tri-State
history is that of Karl Kae Knecht, who worked for
the Evansville Courier from 1906 to 1960. He is seen
here in his office, probably churning out one of his
“Hey, Kay!” entertainment columns. But Knecht
was best recognized
as the newspaper’s
editorial cartoonist,
a position that
earned him a nomination
for a Pulitzer
Prize in cartooning
in 1944-1945. Over
his career, he created
at least 18,000
cartoons, some of which are now preserved in presidential
libraries. Evansville celebrated “Karl Knecht
Day” on July 21, 1954, when he was declared the city’s
“most beloved citizen.” A lover of circuses, Knecht
was also instrumental in bringing a pair of lions to
Evansville in 1928, which marked the beginning of
Mesker Park Zoo. He retired from the Courier in
1960 and died in 1972. MJ
Along with Harold Morgan
(see page 6), Pat Sides has also
announced her retirement. A very
talented contributor to the Journal
and Willard Library, Pat is looking
forward to a well-deserved rest.

The Happless
Underdog
A True Story
by Carolyn Barrett
Grocery shopping can be dangerous!
With groceries purchased, I
was loading five full sacks into my car
parked on a downhill grade parking
lot facing a busy street. Feeling my
car starting to roll forward, I panicked,
dropped my sack of groceries,
threw my body over the car hood
and pushed on the windshield with a
herculean effort to stop my car from
rolling into the busy street.
I realized in a split second that it
was working; my car was not moving!!
I then noticed a car parked next
to me slowly backing out with a terrified
looking lady staring at me. She
had witnessed me throw myself on
my car hood and windshield and push
with all my might. Then it clicked in
my brain, I realized that I had seen
the top of her car backing up and
sensed mine was moving forward.
It’s humiliating and IMPOSSIBLE
to try to gracefully remove your body
from your car hood and windshield!

Yesterdays Remembered
Just a Few Memories
A few weeks ago, my friend from high school days
came to Boonville to visit her brother, Burley Scales.
Betty Anne and I have been friends for all these years,
and when she comes to town, we get together at a local
restaurant for lunch. Strangely, we order from the appetizer
menu and then sample all the items until they are
gone. No sandwiches there, just goodies that we never
would eat otherwise. Then we get in the car and proceed
to drive around town, bringing back the memories of
1952. Of course, there were no one-way streets back
then, so the traffic pattern seems weird today. And, as I
mentioned in a former story, we could put fifty cents in
a gas tank and drive all evening around and around the
square from that HUGE investment. Naturally, we were
trying to attract the attention of some boys who were
doing the same looking for girls.
This time we decided to drive the area that was once
considered the ‘elite’ area of Boonville. The people that
we perceived to be the wealthy families lived on Walnut
Street. We turned from the corner of Second Street onto
Walnut and discovered the nice improvements that have
been added to the old Ella Williams School. The school
has been turned into the Warrick County Museum and
has been greatly changed. The displays will bring back
memories that may have been buried in your mind for
many years. A replica of Bowen Hoover’s office brought
back memories to me. I remember distinctly that I told
him when he had delivered my third son that I wanted
a girl. His remark was typical of him: “Well,” he stated,
“you hold real still and I’ll shove him back. Then you can
try again!” After having just endured a rather difficult
birth, his comment certainly didn’t sound like much fun,
no matter how much I wanted a girl.
The upstairs of the old school has been the host for
several plays and other entertainment in recent years. I
remember seeing a man discuss life in the 1800s with
references to many events in and around Boonville.
But, of course, the recent pandemic has brought a halt
to the plans of the board to bring more activities to the
school. But when the programs return, I urge all of you
by Cora Alyce Seaman,
the author of
several novels
to patronize these events.
As Betty Anne and I proceeded
to continue to travel up Walnut
Street we were shocked to see the deterioration that has
overcome some of the beautiful old homes. Having
owned and restored many old Victorian Homes in my
lifetime, I am aware of the cost and difficulty of restoring
those structures to their original beauty. Perhaps the biggest
problem for a new owner of one of them is that the
cost of heating those homes with high ceilings and little
or no insulation.
As we drove further up Walnut Street, we saw a
few homes that had been modernized. A woman named
Irma Roth had been a teacher and went on to teach at a
university. She had owned a beautiful home on Walnut,
and the new owner has kept it in great condition. It is as
beautiful today as it was when I lived in Boonville.
At the far end of Walnut Street there appears to

be some newer homes, and I was told that they were
Habitat Homes. Such a beautiful addition to the area!
We turned and went back toward town on the next
street and saw many places where our friends had lived. I
remembered specifically a family that lived on the corner
of one street in a large two-story house. Their name was
Davis. I lived 5 miles out of town, so I was not able to do
many things in town that related to school at that time.
But the Davises would allow me to stay over-night with
them, enabling me to attend a ball game or other activity
at school or at the church.
We eventually ended up on Third Street. To strangers,
3rd Street was the same as Main Street to us. We
drove down the road and again reminisced about how
Betty Anne lived and walked to school and where some
of her other friends had lived.
And, of course, there was the City Lake. Oh, what a
lot of memories we had about that place. Nearly everyone
we knew went to the City Lake all summer long.
Don always said that he nearly lived at the Lake during
the summer months. Because I lived in the country,
it was just a place we drove to look at the ducks, and I
certainly never swam in it. If I confess right now, I will
tell you that I hated water then and I still do! I knew I
needed to learn how to swim so I went to the YWCA in
Evansville and took swimming lessons. The class was six
weeks long and I went every week but NEVER got in the
water. The instructor said at the end of the class that he
wondered if I thought I could learn by osmosis! Not to
be bested, I signed up again. Finally, after much cajoling
and patience, he managed to make sure I could swim the
length of the pool and I got my certificate. I framed it and
hung it proudly for many years. I only hoped that I never
needed to use it!!!
As usual, Betty Ann and I ended up at the cemetery.
We both have relatives buried on one side of the cemetery
and we have vowed that since we had been friends all
these years we would be together forever in our afterlife.
Not many people would find it enjoyable to wander
around the streets and enjoy the scenes, but we are looking
forward to exploring the other side of Boonville on
our next time together. And, certainly, this is one of my
most precious Yesterdays Remembered. MJ

They treated Mom like she was part

to the care of their residents. Mom
passed away last week in her apartment. Her
health began to deteriote after Christmas.
She was taken care of with love and respect.
