Social Security Matters

Dear Rusty: I hope we haven’t made a mistake! My wife just applied for her Social Security benefit. She was born in May 1962, and the estimated amount of her benefit is $1,280/month. Her work income last year was $5,616; however, mine was about $65,000. I do not plan on taking my benefit until the age of 70 in July of 2027.

Library art committee at work

Members of the Artwork committee and other interested individuals shared their information with the library board at its March monthly meeting. Committee spokesperson, Gae Henderson Matchette, reported the committee had visited three Indiana art museums to see how other facilities handled donated pieces of art. All museum curators offered tips for the Tipton library, and two curators from the Indiana State Museum even came to Tipton, examined the art and offered suggestions.
