Paul Machledt, 79, died at 3:15 pm Jan 7, 1996, at Union Hospital in Terre Haute. Born Nov 29, 1916, in Montezuma, he was the son of Fred Machledt and Maggie Mankin Machledt. Machledt was working at Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co. in 1936 when was called to serve in the Army Corps of Engineers in WORLD WAR II. After service in Africa & Italy, he was discharged as a staff sergeant in 1938 and returned home to Montezuma. In addition to resuming his old job at the gas company, Machledt started a sideline business installing gas heating equipment and water heaters. This sideline evolved into the furniture store business. In 1946 Machledt Furniture Co was established in Montezuma. In 1969, Machledt opted to devote full time to the growing furniture business and bought a saloon building from his grandfather, Joe Mankin. Today, that building remains the hub of the store activity and serves as the main entrance to Machledt Furniture. The furniture store area grew to encompass what was two small boarding houses, the 254 seat Rea Theatre and old King Hotel. To the south, across the alley, two more buildings were acquired for the business, Miller Hardware Store & the original Cornwell Hardware Store. On June 18, 1939, he married Mildred Goff at Bethel Church in Rockville and in 1989, Mildred & Paul Machledt invited friends to a celebration marking their 50th wedding anniversary as well as their presentation of the Cultural Center Building to the town of Montezuma. The center is the site of both the town's public library and the Town Hall. Machledt was a member of several civic and service organizations and was also a member of Montezuma Presbyterian Church. He is survived by his wife, Mildred, two daughters, Gwen Moore of Indianapolis & Martha Francis of Tulsa, Okla; two sons, Charles Machledt of New Port Richey, Fla and Fredic Machledtof Indianapolis and seven grandchildren.
