• Notes

  The Hascall Block In the 1970's a National Fast Food Chain, Wendy's, featured as a part of their decor, tables with old newspaper advertisements set in acryllica on the table surface. One of the ads was for products that could be found at the store located in the Hascall block in Goshen. The Hascall block actually referred to a single building on the block. Chauncey Smith Hascall, is the Hascall who erected that building. The building was located at Main and Lincoln, in 1922 it was razed and City National Bank, 102 North Main was erected on the site. The Hascall Hall, was a part of the Hascall Block. In 1853 General Tom Thumb, P.T. Barnum's famous little man appeared in the Goshen Opera House, Hascall Hall. _____ Obituary The Goshen Times August 30, 1894 From Wednsday Daily Times Chauncey S. Hascall whose illness has been mentioned in this paper for several days, died at the residence of Frank Abbott in East Chicago, last night at 10 o'clock, from a paralytic stroke sustained last Sunday. The deceased was over 82 years old and had enjoyed good health up to the hour he was stricken. mr. Hascall was for many years a prosperous merchant in Goshen and leaves standing as a monument to his memory the large red brick block occupied by the Hawks drug store at the corner of Main Street and Lincoln Avenue. The building was an imposing structure in its day and was erected by the deceased but afterwards sold. Mr. Hascall leaves to mourn aside from his wife and four children a large circle of old friends and relatives. _____ Pioneer History of Elkhart County, Indiana Mr. Hascall was a prosperous business man for many years. He was associated for a time with Washington Earle in conducting a general store, then the largest store in Goshen. Mr. Hascall built the brick block on the corner of Main Street and Lincoln avenue, which was torn down several years ago to give place to the present City National Babk building. The store occupied the corner room of the old building and was familiarly known as Hascall's corner. He had the contract for and built a part of the Lake Shore railroad and was interested in other important projects. Some of his business ventures turned out disastrously and during the last years of his life he was in rather straightened circumstances. He was given the nickname of "old Hascall", by which he was known to the people of his day.
