As the story goes, the members of Carmel Land Improvement Company decided to name the new planned community in Newton County after the man who "abstained" from drinking at the celebration barbeque held following the sale of town lots in 1903. But that wasn’t the story Lillian Simmons Adickes, Eugene Mansfield Simmons and Bonnie Simmons Sherer heard from their grandmother, Roselle. The town was named after their grandfather because, Adickes told the group gathered at the Mansfield Community Center Wednesday, he held his liquor better than the other town fathers.
