John [[Kauke (surname) | Kauke]], age 77, will be engineer for locomotive for line to [[Millersburg, Ohio | Millersburg]], getting ready to celebrate a visit to the opening of the new railroad.  Friday’s Daily Record.  The laying of track on the [[B and O]] extension is being delayed owning to the failure of the contractors to get rails from mills.  This iron is all down to the [[Ca and C]] track near [[Holmesville, Ohio | Holmesville]]. From this point to [[Millersburg, Ohio | Millersburg]] different rails are to be used and the track made to the compromised guage 1 1/2 inches wider than the main line.  The work of surfacing and balesting is going on steadly each day requiring 250-275 cars of gravel put on the road bed.  Thursday afternoon at 3pm, 225 cars had been loaded and a heavy brace on the steam shovel broke and necessitated a shut down until B [[Barrett (surname) | Barrett]] and sons could repair the damage.  Millersburg Farmer.

The weather has somewhat interfered with the [[B and O]] track completion to [[Millersburg, Ohio | Millersburg]].  The ties have all been distributed and part of them laid between the Infirmary and this place but no iron has been laid from that point south.  The gravel trains are busy at work graveling the road south of the infirmary which is the proper thing to do with winter so near at hand.  Saturday’s Daily Record.

[[Hard (surname) | Hard]] stated the purpose of the meeting was consideration of proposed celebration of completion of the [[Cleveland, Wooster and Muskingum Valley Railroad]] to [[Millersburg, Ohio | Millersburg]].  The citizens of that place have been given to understand that when the time arrived, [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] would go down there in force and with them united in jollification.  Some action by this meeting was therefore necessary.  Hon.

[[Hard (surname) | Hard]] called on JH [[Kauke (surname) | Kauke]] above all others, gave [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] this room to say a few words.  He remarked that Saturday he would be 77 years old and was therefore ready for a celebration and urged the businessmen of [[Wooster, Ohio | Wooster]] to turn out in mass.  The resolution of Mr. [[Critchfield (surname) | Critchfield]] was unanimously adopted.  Committee appointed Hon.
