Re the Hotchkiss Essential Oil Co. The Hotchkiss Oil Co. sold the manufacturing operation of the business to William Leman, Inc. of Bremen, Indiana in 1982. Anne D. Hotchkiss remained as President until her retirement in 1984. In 1987 the Hotchkiss Buildig was placed on the Register of both State and National Historic Sites. In 1990 Lleman discontinued operating the essential oil busines in Lyons and moved production and distribution to Indiana. In 1991 Miss Hotchkiss donated this property to Waye County and in 1998 the Lyons Heritage Society leased it from the county as its headquarters. Miss Hotchkiss is still very much alive and well and will be the Grand Marshall for the Peppermint Days Parade. The Hotchkiss Building will be open Saturday July 17 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. with tours available. As a trustee of Lyons Heritage Society I will try to answer any questions either on the list or by e-mail directed to my address as shown above.
