E. Inman, a Silverton plumber. This Is the third old building to go down at 'Silverton during the past few - months. The first was the old Hubbs planing mill, part of which was built in 1850; the second was the Emerson school building, built. In 1893. The question of when the -old black smith shop was built seems to be unsettled at Silverton. -Over its ruins, during the past few days many .an old timer has1; disputed whether 'it was In the "sixties' or the "seventies" that It was built. ,., At all events, one gathers that it has . been many a long year ilnce. VDoc" Davis first used It as his livery. Since then it has seen other uses, best remembered of which was the, time It served as K.yQ. Steelhammer's blacksmith. "Daddy" Steelhammer jwas for years to Silverton school children the personification of Longfellow's "Village Blacksmith." ( ' During more recent years, since Mr. Steelhammer's retirement, the old building has housed j the Rob enalt blacksmith shop. The new building will contain two store rooms, one of which will be occu pied by the Inman , Plumbing business.
