ELWOOD McCracken who established and for twenty-eight years daily drove the hack between Young America and Kokomo, Indiana, died last week at Young America, Cass County, Indiana. He was seventy-two years old.
The hack he drove was of the pioneer type and its passing, eight years ago cut the last tie that linked Cass and Howard Counties of today with the old days and customs. Eight years ago because of increasing years, he gave up the reins of the famous old hack to a younger man, who shortly abandoned the old hack for up-to-date vehicle, and drove it until a little over a year ago when the post office at Young America, Indiana, was abandoned. The little town is now covered by rural carriers.
