I grew up in Indiana, about a mile south of Newtown. I went to school there 1st thru 6th grades. On the site where the school sat is now a whisky distillery. It is the only one that makes whisky out of sweet corn. The town is small with a good bit of history too. The area is Richland township. The school was the Richland Red Devils. Darn shame they did not call it Red Devil Whisky. The town to me was a thriving metropolis as was Mellott. Newtown was the home of Claypool Chevrolet, A grocery store, a drug store that served food and ice cream, a gas station, a bank, a post office, McNight insurance, Mckelvy hardware, or something like that, a park with a bandstand, the school. Dad used to take rolls of film to the drug store and drop them off for developing, of course it was a pick up point for Kodak. And three churches. A ways out of town on 55 towards Attica was Dri-All grain driers, a company that built grain driers. The company still exits but there are only about 6 people running it. I worked there a short time after high school. I can remember riding my bike to town, the local farmers were playing music on the covered bandstand. You might search for a local guy named Bob Quirk who is quite the writer about the local lore and great stories if you are into small town history.
Mellott had two grocery stores, a John Deere dealership, a Farm Bureau CO-OP where Dad and older brothers hauled freshly harvested grain out of the fields of the family farm. There was a bar, A railroad and Depot, A bank, a car repair shop, a body shop, a post office, two churches. Way back when outside of town was a dirt race track. I can remember as a kid the local guys would drag race on the Wingate road too and in the fall those big grain driers would cycle on and off. They made quite a noise even a mile away.
