Emmetsburg Democrat Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa 24 Aug 1910 Off For Iowa City Fifty-Three Emmetsburgers Go to A.O.H. State Convention. Yesterday the members of the A.O.H. of this city and the L.A.of the A.O.H. left for Iowa City to attend the state convention and state reunion of both organizations. They had their own special car. They took their drum corps and and six members of the Gaelic jig dancing club. The dancers are Myrtle KERWICK, Misses Jean and Mary KELLY, Ruth EGAN, Veran and Mildred McNALLY. All are little folks. They dance exeptionally well. There were 53 in the party. They attended a big meeting of the order at Cedar Rapids last night and had a grand time. The following are the names of those who went: M.F. KERWICK, Myles McNALLY, P.V. NOLAN, M.J. CONWAY, M.M. MAHER, M.F. BRENNAN, J.C. BRENNAN, Patrick JOYNT, Joe T. JOYNT, D.W. JOYNT, Chas. GRACE, Andrew GRACE, H.J. O'NEILL, B.M. FITZPATRICK, T.J. DUFFY, L.F. RYAN, M.DWYER, W.A. MURPHY, John E. BRENNAN, John O'BRIEN, E.M. CLENNON, W. NOLAN, Joe NEARY, Phil BOUGH, Myrle KERWICK, Karl EGAN, P.H. DONLON, Chas. HIGGINS, John HIGGINS, Chris CONLON, Ray JOYNT, Jas. NALLY, Owen GOLDEN, Joe MAHON, Jas. P. CARNEY, Ben MURRAY, P.F. HAND, and Richard McEVOY, Misses Jean KELLY, Mary KELLY, Vera McNALLY, Mildred McNALLY, Ruth EGAN, Kate CROWLEY, Julia CROWLEY, Kate DUFFY, and Mary LAUGHLIN; Mesdames Sarah McDONALD, J.D. McCARTY, D. KELLY and D. RUTLEDGE. Home From Plummer, Idaho. Geo. B. McCARTY, Cahs. SIEGLE, and S.W. DICKASON arrived home from Idaho Friday. They came over the Canadian Pacific. They had a grand trip. Teh season has been dry in northern Idaho and in southern Canada. They stopped at various points in Alberta and Saskatchewan on their way home. Mr. McCARTY bought 21 lots at Plummer, Idaho and P.S. BROWN 24 lots. Mr. SIEGEL and Mr.DICKASON did not make any purchases. Plummer will doubtless be a county seat when the new county is organized on the reservation strip. It promises to be a good town. It has two roads and will most likely secure two more. Ray McCARTY has a valuable quarter section of timber land adjoining the town. An Old Soldier Passes Away. A Mr SCOTT who for the past few years has lived on the old BROWN place at the head of Medium lake died Saturday. He had been ill for some time. The remains were taken to Otho, Webster county, last evening for burial. He was 75 years old and was a veteran of the civil war. He had been married twice. One son and daughter and his second wife survive him. The Democrat did not know him, but those who knew him during the few years he lived in Palo Alto county, speak very highly of him. The surviving relatives have the sympathy of all in their sorrow. Just a Reminder. We wish to remind Rev. C.W. BARBER that he did not have to ask for police protection in Emmetsburg or Carroll- two towns he has misrepresented in most of the speeches he has made in Iowa-but he had to ask for such protection in his home city of Des Moines, the capital of our state, the place where he is best known and where he should be most beloved as a pastor and as a citizen. Further comment is not necessary. Never Thought of Uncle George. H.J. THOMPSON of Whittemore was in Emmetsburg Friday morning. He had been at Cedar Rapids and was returning home. He had his suitcase with him but he resented the suggestion that he might be bringing some of Mr. SHIRMER's pop to George BOYLE for a Sunday party. He says that George feels that a man of 64 ought to have something older and better than pop. A Suggestion About Our Schools. The Democrat thinks taht a department for teaching stenography, typewriting and book keeping should be added to our Emmetsburg High School course. It would accommodate a great many boys and girls and parents as well. Our schools should be more practical. The should supply as far as possible the local demand. 21 Head of Cattle Killed. Tuesday night of last week 21 head of cattle were killed by lightning in Thomas KIRBY's pasture in Nevada township. Nine belonged to Thomas KIRBY, Jr., seven to James BURNS, and five to Mr. STUDOR, who lives near Mallard. Mr. BURNS had some insurance, but the other gentlemen had none. The total loss is estimated between $600 and $700. 000525 Cathy Joynt Labath Palo Alto Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapaloal/paloalto.htm
