You know you live in a small town when . . .
The death of Robert Allen Marshall in his home on the Newton/Jasper County line, has left many in the community shocked and concerned. While there has been no one arrested in this case, Indiana State Police Detective Rick Bonesteel said, "This appears to be an isolated incident where that particular home or family was targeted. The community need not be in a panic or feel unsafe."
. . . the murder of one man creates the need to reassure people they're not all in danger of being slaughtered. I don't mean to seem amused by their fright, and I hope it doesn't come off that way. Being realtively safe is one of the good things about a small town.
