AUBURN — A presentation of more than 25 influential people of DeKalb County will be performed on Friday, Dec. 8, and Saturday, Dec. 9, at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile
AUBURN â On the 120th anniversary of Carbaugh Jewelers, owner Mike Littlejohn has created a piece that ties together the full history of the downtown Auburn store.
The opal pendant features a stone that dates back a century and was touched by two past owners, father and son Charles and Bob Carbaugh. It was found in an envelope from Littleâs Jewelry Store, bearing the name of Ed Little, who founded the business in 1901.
Store employee Jan Bundy discovered the opal as she was sorting through the belongings of her late parents, Bob and Betty Carbaugh of Auburn.
An outside envelope bore her fatherâs handwriting, and her grandfather had written on a stone-protecting paper inside, identifying the stone as an Australian black opal.
