You can still find Harry W. Baals' name in Fort Wayne. He was its mayor on Jan. 1, 1938, when a plaque was installed in front of a house on 704 Rockhill Street that was the birthplace of Jane Alice Peters, whom we know as actress Carole Lombard (in avatar above). The plaque was put up by Selznick International Pictures in conjunction with her new film "Nothing Sacred," four years before her death in a plane crash returning from a bond rally in her native Indiana.
