| 4455 | from "The Greenville Record-Argus", 9 Oct 1958 Our HAPPY BIRTHDAY greeting goes to Mrs. Gertrude Mohr, native West Salem township resident who has spent her entire lifetime there and who is marking her 85th birthday today.

Mrs. Mohr, who attended Fredonla Institute and taught school for many years in West Salem, is a member of the Maysville Community Church, is very alert and assists with the household chores in her daughter's home. We understand that Mrs. Mohr is always "ready to go to places", and is often the center of attention at games and activities of the Neal children. Four-year-old Teddy calls on her quite frequently to "Come on Grandma, let's play cowboy," and Grandma does a good job of it, so we are told. Her family includes three other children, Mrs. Ethel Holmes, Floyd and Arthur Mohr, all of the Greenville area, and 14 grandchildren and 32 grandchildren. Isn't it wonderful? Imagine being called Grandma by 46 young people! Many more happy birthdays, Mrs. Mohr. | Woods, Gertrude Emma (I1653)

| 4492 | from "The Herald Paladium", 15 Nov 2011 Village receives gift of history by Pam Gehl PAW PAW -- The village of Paw Paw recently received a gift of its history in the form of a rare 74-year-old $20 bill printed especially for a local bank. The legal tender with serial number 56 was one of 122 $20 bills drawn on the First National Bank of Paw Paw in 1929. Kalamazoo resident Philip Thoms presented the Village Council with the rare currency, valued at between $300 and $500, at Monday night's meeting. The bill was given in memory of the Thoms family. Thoms said he received the bill from the estate of his brother Allen, who was a longtime Paw Paw resident. Thoms said he didn't know how Allen acquired the bill. Village President Roman Plaszczak said years ago banks could have paper money printed by the federal treasury. Records indicate the First National Bank of Paw Paw had seven occasions since it was chartered in 1865 when it issued those special bills. The last time was in 1929, and four years later the bank failed. "This is a great piece of our history," Plaszczak said. "The back of the 20 is a standard back. The front of the 20 is standard other than they put the First National Bank of Paw Paw, Michigan, on it, as well as the bank's serial number and 1521, which apparently is this bank's number," he said. Some questions remain unanswered. Plaszczak said he is trying to learn why local banks had money printed. He speculated it was a way of tracking the currency. The bill also has signatures of the Register of the Treasury, Treasurer of the United States, cashier Howard Parks and President Robert H. Cavanaugh. "Cashier and president, I wonder if those are local ( bank officers)?" Plaszczak asked. "We'll probably be able to figure that out with a little time and research." Village Manager Bradley Noeldner said he's investigating the most appropriate way to display the bill to have it both visible and safe from theft. "Because of the type item it is and the information we have about it, we want to make sure that it has a proper home," Noeldner said. "We may not even want to have it here at Village Hall. If we could work it out we may want to have it on display periodically at the (Van Buren County) Courthouse museum." Plaszczak, who is also a history buff, said the bank figures in an interesting piece of Paw Paw history involving a local Civil War hero and the first bank robbery in the village. Plaszczak said that according to local documents and research, Romanzo Mortimer Buck arrived in Paw Paw prior to the Civil War and worked as a clerk in a hardware store. When the war broke out, Buck, like many men from the area, enlisted in the Union Army. "He joined (C Company of the 4th Michigan Calvary) out of Detroit. He enlisted as a private, shortly after became a sergeant and eventually became a captain," Plaszczak said. The cavalry unit participated in more than 100 battles and skirmishes, including some of the bloodiest battles of the war. "There were a number of guys from the Paw Paw, Kalamazoo, Hartford area that were in this unit," Plaszczak said. "They road through Alabama and Georgia with Sherman. They fought the Texas Rangers, and this unit actually defeated the Texas Rangers. By the time 1865 rolls around these guys, including Mr. Buck, had to be really tough, hard-core guys." At the end of war, Buck's unit was among those assigned to the search for Jefferson Davis, the fleeing president of the Confederacy. On May 10, 1865, two of Buck's men found a group of women at a campfire. Buck joined them and after interrogation they learned that one of the women was Jefferson Davis' wife. "There was this tall woman with the group, and upon further investigation it turns out that this tall woman was Jefferson Davis himself (dressed as a woman)," Plaszczak said. "So Buck, a trooper from Paw Paw, and a trooper from Schoolcraft captured Jefferson Davis." At the time Davis reportedly had $18,000 in Confederate gold on him. That gold disappeared, and Buck and others claimed that a Confederate soldier infiltrated the unit and stole it. However, when Buck came back to Paw Paw he had sufficient funds to open his own hardware store. The First National Bank of Paw Paw was chartered in 1865 but had no building to house the bank. Bank founders decided to rent space in part of Buck's hardware store for the bank. In 1868, the safe was found empty of its entire contents of $22,000. Without a lead in the case, the bank hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who placed an undercover agent in Paw Paw. "He finally figures out that it was Buck that stole the money," Plaszczak said. Buck had buried the money at a family farm near Keeler, and nearly all of the funds were recovered. Buck was convicted of bank robbery. "He only got about two or three years in the state penitentiary, which I suspect is a pretty light sentence for that time," Plaszczak said. After serving his sentence Buck returned to Paw Paw, where he appeared to be a prosperous and well-accepted member of local society until his death at the turn of the century. Buck's name appears on many invitations, lists of committees and records of social functions in the village. "So it turns out that the guy that caught Jefferson Davis is also the guy that committed the first bank robbery in Paw Paw," Plaszczak said. | Buck, Romanzo Mortimer (I11212)
