In honor of the occasion his daughters gathered at the parental home last Thursday with well filled baskets and ate dinner and spent the day with their father. Present were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Brackney of Omaha; Mrs. Fred Bell of Tabor; Mrs. Clyde Heaton, Mrs. Roy Breiner, and a niece, Mrs. Walter Wilton, all of Malvern; Mrs. Ed Younts and Mrs. Ned Carter of Sidney. Grandchildren present were Mrs. Duane Hampton of Tabor, Barbara Jane Brewer of Malvern, Marjorie Brackney of Omaha, Marlyn and Flo Carter of Sidney. One great grandchild Daneice Boyer, and a special guest. G. T. DeFreece, completed the list of guests. The guest of honor was born in Athens county, Ohio, 91 years ago and came to Washington county, Iowa, with his parents in the fall of 1854. The next spring they moved to Fremont county where he has since lived, first on the farm northeast of town and the past 23 years in Sidney. He married Frances Ruse, a neighbor, and lived with her 60 years until her death two years ago. In the entire 60 years he was never away from his wife overnight except one two-week period at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Mr. Martin has always been active and has been seen regularly on the business streets until just recently when failing eyesight kept him at home. He has always cared entirely for the yard.

April 21, 1938. "SATURDAY A BIG DAY FOR MARRIAGES; A NUMBER OF FIRSTS".-- Saturday, April 16, was the first day of 1938 on which three marriage licenses were granted in the office of Clerk John Redd, and the first day in many a moon when couples were almost treading on each others' toes in their eagerness to secure licenses in Fremont county. Also, Mayor Vernon Jonson and Justice of the peace L. E. Holloway performed their first marriages ceremonies, deputy clerk Fred Lorimer acted as witness for the first time, and the three couples concerned were being married the first time. 1.--Harold Daunies of Kansas City, Mo., and Patricia Scott of Reno, Nev., were married by Mayor Johnson, Fred Lorimor and John S. Redd acting as witnesses. Don Powell of Kansas City accompanied them to Sidney. 2. Lowden Edwards of Rock Port and Lola May Perry of Watson, Mo., were wed by L. E. Holloway, J. P., at his home. Mrs. L. E. Holloway and Russell Hatten witnessed the ceremony. 3. Justice Holloway also married Harry Dixon and Mary Chancey, both of Tarkio, Mo., with Don Millikan and Frieda Voltmer witnessing the ceremony. Here's hoping all the "firsts" work out right and that all concerned live happily ever after.

Sept. 6, 1904. -- "A $4,000 Automobile".-- Some little excitement was caused on our streets yesterday evening by the appearance of a tourist automobile car. It was sure a fine outfit. There were three men and two women who were going to their home at Leavenworth, Kans. They purchased a $4,000 machine at Toledo, Ohio, and went from there to New York and were coming back. A large number of people gathered about the tourists looking at the thirty horse power auto and its unique equipments. N.B.: Henry Ford's Model T began production Oct. 1, 1908 and ended production on May 27, 1927. The first of these cost $850, but during the 1920s the price had fallen to $300. Many can visualize what a Model T looked like, so just what was it that made the Leavenworth car so expensive?......In 1915, John Ross, Leslie Ross, Joy Thomas and Clyde Farwell drove John Ross's 1914 Ford Tourist Car to the San Francisco Exposition, but it certainly could not have been purchased for any price like $4,000 (they didn't have that kind of money)!.....In 1908, cars competing with Henry Ford's cost between $2000 and $3000.....Every so often, I find clippings about so - and - so in Fremont county owning a car, so if those clippings date before the Model T, it seems one needs to add a dimension (green colored) to the biographies of those early Fremont county automobile owners!--W.F.

Lewis of Atlantic, who was formerly in the photography business in Riverton, is now reporting for the Herald. THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. December 13, 1904: FIRST : "TO THE PUBLIC".--John F. Lewis, for many years a resident of Riverton, but since 1900 a citizen of Atlantic, has taken a position on the editorial staff of the Herald. The above named gentleman is no stranger to the Herald readers, as he was a frequent, though often an anonymous, contributor to the paper while he lived at Riverton. For the present Mr. Lewis will have charge of the local department and any assistance given him, or courtesies extended, will be thankfully appreciated by the management. SECOND: "BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION".--It gives us much pleasure to again greet our old friends through the columns of the Herald, and we trust the feeling may, in some degree at least, be reciprocated. When a man has, like the writer, lived for a dozen years in a county as good as old Fremont, and among the whole-souled people who dwell within her borders, he can never forget either the one or the other, "mid pleasures and palaces though he may roam." And, by the way, it is beginning to dawn upon the mind of the multitude that pleasures and palaces are a sham, a delusion and a snare, and that there is more real happiness found in quiet places, and among unpretentious people, than there is among any other kind. It is often the case the people whose surroundings are such that they ought to be happy fail to realize how well off they are. If a man is seeking happiness there is no good and sufficient reason why he should leave Fremont county in order to find it. If a man cannot be happy here, the chances are that he will not be happy anywhere. During the time of our former residence in the county our business was to show up our fellow citizens on paper through the medium of the camera. We have now entered upon the task of showing them up by means of the pen. If they are painted just as they are, the picture ought not to be an ugly or a displeasing one. There is not much use in people making long statements about what they are going to do, being "here to stay," etc. We have seen people who "came to stay" who didn't stay three weeks. But whether our stay be short or long, it shall be our earnest endeavor to make the columns of the Herald (as they have been in the past) interesting, useful and instructive, and to this end we ask the cooperation of all good people. Hoping that we shall be able to retain the esteem of all our old friends and to make many new ones, we remain, Yours Sincerely, JOHN F. LEWIS.

She sits (it is always "she"--no man will take the job) at the crossroads, so to speak, of all the stew and fret, the rush and the worry of the entire community. In the use of the telephone as in everything else people go in crowds. As if actuated by some mysterious power of teleopathy every one wants to use the telephone at exactly the same moment. From local, rural and long distance patrons, a storm of yells, rings and hellos come pouring into the ear of "central" with the din of hail on a tin roof and with the rush and roar with which the water is said to have gone over Ladore. To this babel of tongues she must always return a pleasant answer.

Surnames: Sumpter, Jordan Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/4211 Message Board Post: THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. June 14, 1900. "Cutting Affray".-- Last Friday night about 10:30 an altercation took place on our streets between Will Jordan and John Sumpter.We know nothing of the provocation of the quarrel, but in the mixup Sumpter received two black eyes and Jordan was struck with a knife two places in the arm and received a serious stab in the left side which narrowly missed his heart. Jordan was taken to the Park Hotel where his wounds received the immediate attention of a physician. His symptoms were for several day coonsidered dangerous, but it is now thought that he will recover. Sumpter was arrested by Sheriff Dixon Saturday and arrainged before Mayor Morgan who set Thursday, June 21st, for his preliminary hearing. He was placed under a $500 bond, which was promptly given. N.B.: Forgive the interruption of this account, but please notice -- again -- this TREND where hotels were being used like hospitals are used at the present time. It was common practice at this time to put those in dire need of medical attention in a hotel room where the doctor could make his visits on a more regular basis. I have read accounts where parents from farms would have to leave even very young children who needed the constant care of a doctor in some local hotel.--W.F. THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. August 9, 1900.-- John Sumpter, who stabbed Wm. Jordan on the night of June 8th, was rearrested Saturday and held in bonds of $1,000 to appear before the grand jury. When first arrested, immediately after the affair, he was discharged for non-appearance of prosecuting witness. The state now rearrests and he must be legally cleared or convicted of crime. The wounded man, Wm. Jordan, died Friday, August 3, eight week after receiving the wound. The HERALD has refrained from commenting on this sad affiar, believing it better to wait until all the facts are revealed in the proper manner and the blame is laid where it rightly belongs.

Surnames: Hatten Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/4210 Message Board Post: THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. August 9, 1900.--Our genial friend, ex-host of the Crozier House, G. T. Hatten, is better situated than some of his friends are, in that he has birthday presents to purchase only once a year, for Mrs. Hatten's birthday anniversary and that of their son, Merle, come at the same time, August 7th. In celebration of this, about thirty-five of Merle's young friends gathered at the Hatten home and spent such an evening Tuesday night as will be remembered for a long time. It was the 14th anniversary of Merle's birthday. Refreshments, ice cream, cake etc., were served; the young people engaged in such innocent games and pastimes as cause time to fly rapidly away. A fine magic lantern was operated to the intense delight of all. In fact all had such a good time that, boy like, each wished that Merle might have a birthday every week.
