Summary
On October 1, 2002, Dick Winnick’s portable home was moved from behind the former Pelke speakeasy on Donnel Mor’s Lane to the Bonner Centennial Farm for the winter, according to the November Beaver Beacon. The move is recorded as a transportation event, not as evidence that Winnick owned either site.
Evidence and limits
The report does not identify the mover, equipment, exact origin parcel, or a separate property transaction. “Bonner Centennial Farm” is retained as the newspaper’s destination wording and is not silently equated with a particular deed or structure record.
Open questions
- Can photographs or local records document the move and its equipment?
- Which parcel contained the former Pelke speakeasy?
- How long did the portable home remain at Bonner Centennial Farm?
