An article undated appeared in the Paper of
Wabash County as follows: This weeks photoes include the Laketon General Store and Laketon Nurseries. Laketon Nurseries, above was a prominent business attracting many from Northern
Indiana to laketon. The business was started by George
Moyer and later operated by John
Moyer. Located north of the Eel River on the west side of 200W, the family owned business started in 1880 and was sold in 1972. Much of the ground is now owned and farmed by max and marvin
Blocher. The nursery office building is now the home of Ernest and
Pat Cripe. The other buildings belong to Rick
Cripe Mobile Transport Co.
A history including pictures of the family was included in the 1976 History of
Wabash County, indiana by Linda
Robertson appearing on pages 435 and 436. This book is still available from the
Wabash County historical museum or I could send you a copy.
