The Thorntown Enterprise says:
Robert Laverty, who now enjoys fairly good health, although way up in the eighties, 64 years ago laston a Wednesday he arrived in Thorntown. He came here in 1836, and lived on Tom Gregory's farm. Thorntown was truely in it primitive state. There was but one general store, run by Jackson and Truely, located where George Coulson now holds forth. all the Indians had left but some of there huts were still to be seen. Main street was then a swamp, and many times he has seen teams stuck. Many of our good farms were comparatively swamps. Cincinnati was the nearest trading point. David Daley run a tavern, where the Oldendorf Co's shop stands. Probably no other citizen has had the privilege that Robert has had of witnessing the remarkable growth and development of this section, and he points with considerable pride that he has spent continuously 64 years of his life in Thorntown. During all of these years he has been actively engaged various pursuits; the last position he held was watchman at the Big Four and Main Street crossing. He has always been considered a straight forward man, and no one questions his honesty of purpose or integrity.
