There is little doubt in my mind but what this person was our Littleberry Lingenfelter! I wish I had copied all of those articles I had seen/read before I realized who the author really was. (A "woman" wrote this one? NO WAY!) THE FRONTIER GUARDIAN. Vol. III No 17. September 5, 1851. 2 - 4. "THE NEW FASHIONS".--Mr. Editor: Allow me to trespass upon your patience once more, as it is proverbial of one of MY SEX (?), to have the last word in almost everything, at least so it is said. And supposing that all females are endowed with certain inalienable rights such as holding their "Women's Right's Convention," and endeavoring if possible to bring the "usurper" man, into a sphere of equality, and to wear whatever dresses they please, even if it were to adopt a BLOOMER, or what I consider a prettier name CAMILIA, whose business is it? I would really like to know. Some editors take it upon themselves to see what they can say to oppose this beautiful costume, with the advice of a few "oldmaids", who would never change their minds if they knew it would be the means of getting them a _______. With the few preliminaries above, I will enter upon what I have to say. I saw with my own eyes a beautiful CAMILIA in our streets, and supposing that some of your readers would like a description, I will here give it: The "a la Turk," wore a neat hat, trimmed with red, with a splendid wrought veil, white dress, reaching just below the knee, turkish pants, with morocco slips--upon the whole she was attired most graceful. Now, what editor, lady, or gentleman can take any exception to such a beautiful costume? I would almost venture to say scarce none with the exception of some staid person, continually fretting about every thing that is new. The new fashion which recently appeared in our streets, worn by the gentleman (or would be "usurpers") was one not altogether to my fancy. The wearers not feeling at home in the CAPAPIE, they appeared somewhat awkward. Their coats in the first place were two or three inches too long, their pants were entirely of the wrong color, which should have been a light blue, instead of red, and were too tight above the knee, their caps answered every purpose, and their shoes were too high to make a neat appearance; but upon the whole made a very fair show. Suggesting these few improvements, I will close, fearing that I have already trespassed too long upon your good nature, and expect ere long to see the CAMILIA and "a la CAPALIE", to become the prevailing costume, in spite of the opposition of "old Maids, and old Bachelors" combined. .....Yours truly,.......L. Mr. Editor: Finding that my communication did not appear in your last, I desire to make a small addition. When returning from Church last Sabbath, during the shower, I could not help but seeing and experiencing the great inconvenience, of wearing what I cannot call by any better name then "draggle-tails"; they were all besmeared with mud and wet half way to the knee. And from this time I have made up my nind never to appear in the streets, in such a "toggery". In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I am resolved--regardless of the frowns or sneers of any. L.

The first thing Mr. Lingenfelter said to a Herald reporter, winking at a friend, was: "You can tell your readers I am a German spy who came down here to look over the situation in Iowa" Making the practical joke all the stronger, Mr. Lingenfelter displayed on the lapel of his coat an American flag--the Stars and Stripes which hold such sacred qualities for every American citizen of today. He is a democrat of the first quality, and undonditional in his support of President Wilson. Mr. Lingenfelter is a son of one of Fremont county's early-day attorneys; was born in Sidney; remembers many events of pioneer times which are interesting to the younger generation, and was a schoolmate of Ed.

He was born at Floris, Iowa, May 18, 1896, where he lived until 5 years of age when he moved with his mother to Farragut where he lived until he was a member of Compay E., 168th Infantry, 42nd or Rainbow division. Ernie, as he was known at this place, was of a sunny disposition, ever ready to do his part as was the case in serving his country. His last day of service was freely given, as it was his time off, but they needed more men and he willingly offered his service. A military funeral was held Sunday at 10:30 from the City park. Rev. H.D. Herr delivered an eloquent tribute to this young hero who gave his life for us. The beautiful musical selections were furnished by Mr. Anderson of Shenandoah, Messrs.

August 4, 1921. "FARRAGUT MOUNRNS and BURIES SOLDIER HERO".--The body of Harry Roberts arrived in Farragut Friday evening from France where it has been disinterred from the cemetery at Souilly. He was killed during the fighting in the Argonne Forest on Novembe 2, 1918, just a few days before the armistice was signed. Harry was born at Farragut on June 15, 1893, the son of Mr. and Mrs. E.F. Roberts, and was reared in that community, graduating from the Farragut schools in the class of 1911. He was a general, all-around athlete and was well known and universally liked. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity. In company with a number of others from Fremont county, Harry answered the call to the colors at Camp Dodge on April 25, 1918, where he was a member of the 88th division. Remaining in this camp about one month, he was transferred to Camp Travis, Texas, where he was a member of Company "I", 360th Infantry of the 90th Division. On June 6, 1918, his organization left Camp Travis for Camp Mills., New York, and sailed from Hoboken June 13th on the liner Olympic, landing in Southamption, England, June 22. A short trip across the English channel landed his organization in France on June 23, l918. His division immediately took up intensive training in the more modern modes of warfare and on August 22, his regiment entered the lines in the St. Mihiel (sic) sector, which was quiet until the morning of September 12, when the world rejoiced over the first all-American victory, in straightening out this threatening sector. During this action Harry was a runner, carrying messages at all times of the day and night, one of the most dangerous duties a soldier is called upon to perform. After St. Mihel (sic), the regiment moved back to Toul for a short rest after which they moved westward to the north and west of historic Verdun. The night of October 31 found his regiment in the front lines in the Argonne and Harry's battalion, under the command of Major J.W.F. Allen, was in the jump off position ready to go over at five o'clock the following morning, at which time they stepped over the top. The battalion met with immediate resistance from four machine gun nests in the vicinity of Grand Carre farm but these were soon silenced and the battalion continued pushing its way against obstinate resistance until about 2:30 in the afternoon, when the battalion was so worn out and decimated that it was called to a halt while the second battalion of the same regiment, which was immediagely behind the third, leapfrogged them and continued the drive. The second battalion continued the advance until about 10:30 that evening when they came to a halt in heavy timber about two kilometers north of Andevanne and about the same distance south of Villers-devant-Dun. On the morning of November 2nd, the second battalion was given the command to continue the advance and Harry's battalion was ordered forward to take up the position just vacated by the second. Just as Major Allen had succeeded in getting his companies placed in the positions allotted to them, the enemy raked their territory with a violent artillery fire, supported by a vicious machine gun barrage and it was this machine gun fire under which Harry gave his life for his country and humanity. He was wounded in the abdomen about noon of November 2nd and was immediately rushed to the first aid station where he was given treatment and from there he was sent by ambulance to Evacuation Hospital Number 6 at Souilly, where he passed away shortly after his wounds were dressed. His body was brought to Farragut Friday evening from Fort Des Moines in charge of Corporal John L. Jenkins, a member of Troop C of the 14th U.S. Cavalry. His father, E.F. Roberts, and three sisters, Mrs. Ward Corbit, Mrs. W.S. Coy, Jr., and Hazel survive him and mourn his loss, his mother having passed to her reward on June 20, 1920. Short funeral services were held at the Farragut cemetery Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. H.D. Herr. A quartet composed of C.C. Campbell, George Carter, Fred Long and Seth Cox gave two beautiful numbers. Pall bearers were Arthur and Harry Coy, Archie Perkins, and Paul Jones, friends of the deceased, and T.W. Iiams and Samulel Spittler of Sidney, members of Harry's division overseas. A large crowd gathered a the cemtery to pay their last respects to the memory of a young man who was liked and admired by all who were privileged to know him. Interment was made by the side of his mother in Farragut cemetery.

"Mrs. Sarah Bridgford A Long-Time Resident".--Following an article in the Argus-Herald several weeks ago descriptive of the wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lamb, nee Henrietta Cromwell, in which Mrs. Lamb was said to be thought the oldest native born person living in Fremont county, comes a challenge from another pioneer, Mrs. Sarah Bridgford, who still lives on the farm on which she was born, June 9, 1853, though she cannot claim a continuous residence during all that time. Garrison Berry Redd, father of Mrs. Bridgford, came to Fremont county in 1850 from Platte county, Mo., and lived a short time northwest of Sidney and then moved to a farm five miles southeast of town, buying it from the government in 1854 for $1.25 per acre. Mr. Redd died in 1873, and his wife and part of their family lived on the farm until her death in August 1920, the farm never changing hands until her death. Their daughter, Sarah, was married on Dec. 24, 1882, to Eli Bridgford, and moved with her husband to Frontier county, Nebr., where they homesteaded 160 acres of land. Before they had finished proving up on the Nebraska land, Mr. Bridgford died, leaving his wife and six small children. They lived on the land until she had finished proving upon it in 1893, when Grover Cleveland was president, and she still owns the Nebraska land. Mrs. Bridgford had bought part of the home place in Fremont county, and later returned here to live. She is still very active and enjoys going to celebrations in the neighboring towns as well as to the Sidney Rodeo, family picnics and all kinds of family gatherings. She still raises her own garden, and leads a very active outdoor life in mild weather. When cold weather comes, she crochets almost constantly making doilies, table and dresser scarves and also does much of her own sewing. She is one of a family of nine children, a brother, G. B. Redd, living near Sidney, and two sisters, Mrs. Martha Barton and Mrs. Elizabeth Barton living at Riverton. Mrs. Bridgford's children, who are all married, are Mrs. Charles Mortimore of Stockville, Nebr.; Mrs. John Weatherill of Shenandoah; Mrs. Art Mortimore and E.G. Bridgford of Hamburg; and J. W. Bridgford, who, with his wife live with her on the old home place, though in a separate house.
