The first Kearns Car was an Auto Buggy they called the Eureka! It was manufactured in 1907 at the former Kearns buggy Factory on South Center Street. A small catalog of its many features (some very advanced) was printed and distributed. We do not know how many were made and sold, but we do know one survives, but its present location is unknown.

(What advanced features did it have and what did it cost? Answer next month.)

The American Legion Argonne Post #45 was chartered in Beavertown. It met on the second floor of the Opera House (aka The P.O.S. of A. Hall). It later merged with Post #23. The Post had a lot of captured German war material stored up there. As kids, we would go in and play with it. They also had 2 machine guns and a naval rifle on Cedar Hill Cemetery where we played war during WWII.
