Off line to Walter, My dad told me that when he was a young man, standing around with a group of his friends, one more friend arrived with one of the new early cars. The new owner offered to take them all for a ride, but one of them was very drunk. They very carefully told the drunk one that he could come, but if he got sick he was to put his head out the window to throw up. They repeated it very many times to be sure he got it. They went for a ride, came back, and all got Out of the car, including the drunk one, but as he stepped back on the ground he got sick and stuck his head Through an open window as he had been told and threw up in the car. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I suppose you know that sine of the early Blacksmiths gradually became the early auto repair shops, usually doing both in the transition period. ~~~~~~~ I've got a webpage up now for Houston N. Morgan, the actor son of Sidney's Mayor Wm W Morgan, but I think I already told you. http://home.att.net/~johnjamesbentley/MORGAN/houston.htm Elaine

"ANDERSON A BUSY TOWN".-- While in Anderson last Saturday we were surprised at the magnitude of the business carried on there. Hutchison & Chambers have a large stock of general merchandise and are doing a large. business. Their stock is up to date and they handle reliable goods, and they believe in making known that they are there for business by advertising. Hutchison Bros. have a large hardware and implement stock and deal in live stock and grain in addition to their store. It is reported that these firms at Anderson are doing as much business as any like firms in the county and what one can observe there most any day in the week will bear out the report. This firm also believes in judicious advertising and by making known their business have built up a fine patronage. Their stock is carefully selected and they handle only the best goods on the market. The new bank, in charge of Mr. Fichter is enjoying a nice patronage and is a much appreciated convenience and will undoubtedly grow to be one of the largest and soundest banking institutions in the county. Anderson is certainly booming and becoming noted as a trading center.

N.B.: Barbara, Margaret, it looks like the Omaha diocese should have been considered as part of the picture! I never even gave that possibility a thought.......It is very, very dim, but I seem to remember that some of Fremont county's other records (naturalization ?) are also found in Omaha.--W.F.

In 1903, Charles Metelman of Sidney bought the first car in that town......W. B. White had an auto in 1903....Joe Samuels of Riverton had an auto in 1904.....In 1907, "automobile excursions were the craze".....In 1908, Charles Monson, Prairie township, built himself a automobile house on his farm........In 1908, Trewett was making automobile repairs at his garage in Anderson.....At Christmas time, Santa Claus was "pictured" making his rounds in an automobile. The following notes taken from the SUN of 1908 helps in our understanding of what our ancestors were experiencing , even before Henry Ford entered the picture: 1.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. June 11, 1908.--Harry Goode and C. A. Metelman went to Council Bluffs last Thursday and came back with an automobile, which Mr. Goode had purchased while there. It is one of the finest of the many fine autos of this locality. A Reo Roadster, a two cylinder, twenty horse power machine, and one that Harry will certainly get a great deal of pleasure out of. 2.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. July 16, 1908.--Harry Goode and I. L. Morgan and wife, went to Malvern Sunday in Harry's auto to attend the chautauqua. Mr. Morgan occupied the rear seat and clung to the brass rod. Harry didn't slow up much for the rough placers and Mr. Morgan performed many surprising acrobatic feats enroute. They got through without any mishap, however; and report a very enjoyable day. 3.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. July 30, 1908. -- Harry Goode, Frank Magel, Charles Metelman each took an auto load to Lake Forney, Sunday afternoon.......Two auto loads of people went to Hamburg from here Tuesday evening.--"Local News". 4.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. July 2, 1908. "AUTOS IN IOWA".-- The motor vehicle record in the office of the secretary of state shows that there are 6,136 automobiles in use in Iowa. Of this number, 1,436 have been bought this season; 408 of them during the month of May. The June record when complete will exceed this amount by a considerable number. "A noticeable thing," said Henry Saberson, of the secretary of state's office, "is the number of licenses which are sent to the small towns of the state. Hardly a one but has from five to thirty autos registered from it. Up to Jan. 1, 1908, there were but 4,700 in Iowa. The increase this year is evidence of the popularity of this means of transportation". 5.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. September 3, 1908.--Carson, a town in Pottawatomie county, has 23 automobiles in town. 6.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. September 10, 1908.--Harry Goode's auto is a Roadster......P. B. Laird and James Vanatta have bought autos......Eber Haning has an auto......Jay Leeka bought an auto. 7.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. October 1, 1908. -- Clate Paul of Thurman has a new auto....Charles Graham has a new four cylinder Rambler automobile.... Tom James recently bought a new four cylinder Rambler auto.....Charles Estes has purchased his second auto. (The next issue of the SUN says he sold one of these to Jay Leeka......Then the SUN issue of Nov. 12, 1908 says Charles F. Estes has bought his third Rambler.--W.F.) 8.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. July 2, 1908. "A New Auto".-- Last Saturday Frank Magel accompanied by his brother B. W., went to Omaha where he purchased a new Jackson Auto. Several of the boys started from here Sunday intending to meet them at Glenwood. Harry Goode with C. A. Metelman, Ralph Lovelady, and Ed Jarman in Harry's car, and Glen Magel and Mike Harned in Glen's car. Harry got through allright, but the other boys met with an accident on a piece of bad road between here and Tabor that put them out of the running for a time. 9.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. August 7, 1908.-- M. Inman of Prairie township purchased a new Maxwell touring car, in Omaha. 10.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. September 3, 1908.-- S. A. Chambers, of Anderson, little red auto will take him any place over the hills in this county. 11.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. July 30., 1908.-- A party composed of Edwin Mitchell, Winifred Hawley, Ralph Lovelady and Fern Shannon took an auto ride to Lake Forney Friday evening where they had a most enjoyable time, and hope soon for a repitition of everything but the breakdown on the road home which delayed them several hours. 12.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. August 7, 1908. "THREE NEW AUTOS".-- Last Thursday A. F. Woodard sold three $2,400 automobiles in Tabor, one to E. C. Brackney, a former resident of Sidney township, one to Arthur McMahill, and one to Warren Gregory. The machines are all the same make and pattern, the only difference in them is that Mr. Gregory went the other fellow $40 better and put a fine speedometer on his machine. 13.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. August 13, 1908 --(1). While on his recent trip to Auburn, Indiana, Sam Chambers purchased a new Kiblinger automobile. They are a good machine and Mr. Chambers will have one of the best runabouts in this locality. --(2). It is said that two more of our young men are contemplating the purchase of autombiles in the near future. An auto is a very nice thing, but for a moonlight drive we prefer a good gentle, well broke team, and the slower the better. 14.--THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. September 3, 1908. "AUTOMOBILE REGULATION".-- The following are some of the road rules being published at present governing the running of automobiles. It will be well for auto enthusiasts to study them closely and act accordingly: "On discovering an approaching team, the automobilist should stop off-side and cover his machine with a tarpaulin painted to correspond with the scenery. Automobiles running on the country roads at night must send up a red rocket every mile and wait ten minutes for the road to clear. They must proceed carefully, blowing their horns and shooting Roman candles. In case a horse will not pass an automobile, nothwithstanding scenic tarpaulin, the automobilist will take the machinery apart as rapidly as possible and conceal the parts in the grass."-- Our Nebraska exchange. Number 14 makes me think that not everyone was crazy about this new craze--the automobile.--W.F.

Mrs. Acord was a member of the party who left Fremont county in 1860. They traveled overland and reached Salt Lake City after many hardships. Her father S. B.

N.B.: The next issue of the SUN contained an account of this emigrating party, and this article has been posted here on Rootsweb. Also, Mabel Bridges compiled notes on her father Samuel Buchanan Frost and these notes also have been posted on this site......And don't overlook the statement that Frost lived on the farm which was owned by G. S. Benson in 1908. Research in the Sidney Court House would probably reveal the exact location of this farm.--W.F.

The newpaper business being concluded, these people quietly boarded the train and went to Nebraska City. They secured the necessary license and were married at 6 o'clock Saturday evening at the office of the County Judge, W. Wilson.

N.N.: This is the Darby who taught the winter and spring terms of the Lacy Grove district school from Dec. 1895 to May 1896. While there, he contributed a column of news from the Lacy Grove neighborhood--for THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN--and in so doing gave the only outline of the residents of that community that I know of.....For these Lacy Grove families, conduct a SEARCH on this site using the words "Darbys outline".--W.F.

May14, 1908. "Mrs. Reeves Called Home".-- The SUN chronicles the death of Mrs. Reeves, beloved wife and companion of Col. B. Reeves, her death occurring at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Davis, at Hamburg, Iowa, Friday evening at 11 o'clock p.m. May 8th 1908. Mrs. Reeves had for two years or more been a sufferer from organic heart disease, which was the casue of her demise after a last sickness of about two months duration. Col. Reeves had recently purchased a fine home in Hamburg in which himself and wife had planned to remove to and were moving there when she was taken so badly sick that she was taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Davis. Col. Reeves and wife have been residents of the county for over 40 years and were among the early pioneers, witnessing the growth and development from a wild unsettled state, and have hosts of friends who feel with deep sorrow the loss of Mrs. Reeves. All who knew mother Reeves speak of her as a friend 'indeed' to any friends or sufferer in need, and who always gave largely of her strength and love to her loved ones. The stricken husband, three daughters, Mrs. Davis of Hamburg, Mrs. Borchers and Mrs. Birkby of Nebraska City, Nebraska, two sons, T. B. and B. P. residing near Hamburg, survive to mourn the loss of a beloved wife and loving mother, also two sisters, Mrs. Givens and Mrs. Payne, old residents of the county mourn the loss of a beloved sister, who with many life-time friends hope again to be reunited in love, in that better land where there is no more death or partings, but where there is life everlasting and perfect peace and rest. The funeral services were held at the Davis residence in Hamburg on Monday, May 11, after which interment was made in the Hamburg cemetery. Many old time friends from Sidney desired to attend the funeral, but were prevented by the storm.
