Below are some election breakdowns of the Decatur County vote in presidential elections as posted in the Greensburg Daily News.

It is interesting to see that the area unlike the rest of the county, Millhousen and/or Marion Township voted for members of the Democratic party for some time.

While the building dates back to the 1860's, Stone's Tavern was formally founded by Mollie Reisman after prohibition ended around 1934. It is said that a speakeasy operated in the building during prohibition.

The large back bar that decorates the front dining room dates back to the 1850's and was recovered from a saloon that existed east of Stone's.
