The Courier-Democrat
This page still needs some work and is on my list.
The newspaper "The Courier-Democrat" was located on the corner of fourth and Main in the south east corner of the intersection from -------- to 1922. This building was remolded and set back from the street when the service station was installed in the early 1900s.

To the right is a picture from an add in the Courier-Tribune anniversary edition of 1938 which shows this station as it appeared at that time. I am told that this station was owned by two brother by the name of Van Valkenburg who owned service stations in Seneca, Vermillion, Frankfort and Wheaton. and was named "Van's Service". There are very likely people in Seneca who have more information on this and that information it will be added here if they so like. |
