Falmouth Outlook Friday 28 Jul 1922 Vol. 16 No. 8 Pg. 1 Col. 5 MARRIAGES AULICK-COWLES A wedding of unusual interest, owing to the prominence of both the bride and groom, came as a most agreeable and happy surprise to the many friends of Sigel Philip Aulick, of this city, and Miss Florence M. Cowles, of Butler, when on last Wednesday afternoon announcement was made that they had been married in Dayton, KY, that day. The officiating minister was the Rev. O. J. Steger, pastor of the Brighton Street Baptist Church in Newport, former pastor of the Falmouth Baptist Church and a close friend of the bridegroom. The happy marriage was the culmination of a beautiful courtship of several months. They met for the first time a year ago, and it was love at first sight. They tried to keep their secret, but the frequent trips Mr. Aulick made to the Cowles planation aroused suspicion among friends who suspected that he was preparing to steal the march on them. The marriage of this popular young couple unites two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race - The Cavaliers of Virginia and the Puritans of New England. The bride is the daughter of Miriah Cowles, and the late O. W. Cowles, who was one of Pendleton County's most prominent business men and farmers. He came to this county from Massachusetts when a young man and married a Pendleton Co. girl. By thrift, industry and keen business foresight he became the richest man in Pendleton Co. The bride is one of Pendleton County's most accomplished young ladies, retired in disposition, but possessed of all those fine womanly charms and lovable disposition that will make for happiness along the pathway of life. She is herself a businesswoman of extraordinary ability, and is the wealthiest woman in Pendleton Co. There had been a number of young men who wooed, but it remained for Mr. Aulick to win this flower from the garden of love. The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Mar. L. Aulick and the late A. F. Aulick of this place. He was born and reared in this city, attended the Falmouth public schools and is one of our most successful business men and farmers. At the beautiful Aulick Plantation overlooking the South Licking River, a few years ago he erected a handsome pressed brick bungalow which has every modern convenience and is one of the finest suburban farm homes in Pendleton Co. This fine home and its surroundings reflect his progressiveness and love for the better things of life. It shows, also, his loyalty and devotion to his mother, in providing her so many comforts to lighten her tasks during her declining years. Mr. Aulick has resided with his mother and looked after the Aulick estate since the death of his father a number of years ago. Knowing that the Aulick family has a long line of proud forbears, we give the following bit of interesting genealogical history, which we have obtained from the Public Library in Cincinnati: "Henry Aulick, of Virginia, a great uncle of the bridegroom, was a Commodore in the United States navy in the early part of the nineteenth century. His son, Richmond Aulick, was a Lieutenant Commander in the United States navy. Commodore Aulick resided in New Your during his service in the navy, and it will be remembered by some of our older folks that he once visited his kindred near Four Oaks. The Aulick family originated in the middle ages in Central Europe. The famous 'Aulic Council' originated in the late middle ages, and organized in a later form by Emperor Maximilian I in 1497. as a rival to the Imperial Chamber, was the highest Court of Appeals in the Empire (Hungary). This famous Council ceased to exist on the extinction of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806." After a few days honeymoon, Mr. & Mrs. Aulick returned to his home near this city. Owing to the sad death of Mr. Aulick's brother, Ernest Aulick, a reception could not be held in their honor as was planned. Later they will go to housekeeping with the bride's mother near Butler. The bride and groom have numerous friends who are showering them with happy congratulations.

Worth (Texas) Daily Star] Mrs. Florence Chalfant Peak, oldest resident of Fort Worth, Texas, and mother of the first children born in the original army post died at her home, 820 West Fifth Street, that city, at 4 a.m. Friday 14 July 1922. She was nearly 90 and had lived in Fort Worth since 1853 when she came here as the bride of Dr. Carroll M. Peak, who was Fort Worth's first physician. Mrs. Peak was ill only a few days. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 4 p.m. Saturday. Burial will be in Pioneer's Rest Cemetery. BORN IN KENTUCKY Mrs. Peak, who was Florence Chalfant before her marriage was born in Pendleton County, KY on the Ohio River, 20 Dec. 1832. She came to Texas when 20 years old, she and Dr. Peak stopping in Dallas for a few months before settling in the old post which had just been vacated by the soldiers. Dr. Peak was just out of the Louisville Medical College and was seeking a location, and when an emergency call to the bedside of Capt. Julian Field at the post summoned him here he decided to move. Mrs. Peak lived with her husband in the post for four years, and her first two children, the late Clara Peak Walden and Howard W. Peak, Sr., were born there, the first children born at the post. Mrs. Walden was one of the first three principals of the public schools in Fort Worth, and was for many years a leading educator. As the wife of a pioneer doctor and the mother of a pioneer family, Mrs. Peak witnessed the beginning of the city of Fort Worth and was an intimate part of its life. Moving from the post in 1857, Dr. Peak built his home on the spot that is now the block bounded by Weatherford, Houston, First and Throckmorton streets, which was the family homestead for many years after the Civil War. Dr. Peak was the only physician in this section and frequently made long trips to the beside of his patients. In this Mrs. Peak was his helper in many ways, and particularly in nursing the sick and ministering their needs. Mrs. Peak was one of the organizers of the First Christian Church. During her active years she was one of its leading workers. Through Mrs. Peak would have been 90 in December, she was in comparatively good health until a few days before her death. Her declining years were spent quietly in her home with her daughters, and nothing delighted her more than to tell of the early life of the frontier settlement which has become Fort Worth. She is survived by her son, Howard W. Peak and two daughters, Mrs. Lily Peak Jones and Miss Olive Peak. Her grandchildren are: Carroll Peak, Howard Peak Jr., Mrs. Florence Hill and Mrs. Frank Kent, the latter of Clinton, MO.

According to statements made to Bracken County officers immediately following the shooting, McClanahan had driven young Hall and his father, Barney Hall, away from their home. Young Hall stated that he was returning, for his personal belongings when he met McClanahan coming toward the house. McClanahan wanted to shake hands with him and Hall refused. McClanahan then began cursing Hall according to his statements to the officers, and started toward him with an open knife. Hall then raised the shotgun, which he was taking away from home, and fired, the charge striking McClanahan in the abdomen. McClanahan died the same afternoon and was buried Tuesday afternoon in the Willow Cem. After the shooting Hall went to Brooksville, where he surrendered to county officers. He claims that he shot in self defense. The sympathy of the entire community in which the tragedy occurred is with young Hall. The Halls are well known in Pendleton Co.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Jul 1922 Vol. 16 No. 6 Pg. 1 Col. 2 "UNCLE" JOHN SHELL DEAD John Shell, oldest man in the world, is dead at his home in Leslie county. He had records to show that he was born in Tennessee in 1788, so that he would have been 134 years old if he had lived to his next birthday, September 30th. Mr. Shell, who had lived mmore than 100 years on the same farm in Leslie county, was well past the military age limit when the Mexican war broke out and at the beginning of the Civil War was in his seventies. His actual age had often been called in question, but doctors, who examined him said that they believed he ws correnct in his statement of his longevity. One of the most remarkable things about his funeral is that at his grave two of his mourners were brothers, one 83 years older than the other, William, 90, and Albert, 7. are the twain, the latter being the son of Uncle John's second wife, who was 45 when he married her and Albert is the only child of their union. First Wife Died at 122 By his first wife, who died 12 years ago at the reput age of 122, Uncle John had four sons and a daughter, who survive him... In appearence, Mr. Shell was not greatly differenct from other extremely old persons in any community. Through considerably withered and weatherbeaten, he retained his vigor to a surprising degredd and was impatient with those who would have put him away in a chimney corner. He was five feet fie inches in height and weighted 103 pounds. ... As a man who was living when Benjamin Franklin was United States Ambassador to France; who was eleven years of the age when George Washington died, who was a voter when Napoleon Bonaparte boarded the "Bellerophon" for that faitful trip to St. Helena; who helped to celebrate the election of Andrew Jackson and the victories of the American armies in Mexico; who was a bearede veteran when the California gold rush began in 1849 and saw the troops march away to the war between the states in 1861, to the Spanish American combat in 1898, and the World War in 1917, he was the oldest link between past and present.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 9 Jun 1922 Vol. 16 No. 1 Pg. 1 Col. 2 TOO MUCH "LICKER" James Cummins, a young man residing in the country, caem to town Sunday and took on a load of hootch. The stuff went to his head and he ran amuck on Main Street, and Marshall Perrin arrested him and started to the jail with him. The young man resisted the officer and of course came out second best. Young Cummins was arraigned in Judge N. D. C. Mains court Monday morning, charged with drunkenness and diaorderly conduct. He plead guilty and swore that he drank a concoction made of Jamaica ginger and other ingredients. As this was the first offense, the Judge let him down easy with a fine of $50 and costs and ten days in the county jail to think it all over. This should be a lesson to the young man, as resisting an officer of the law is frowned upon by all good people, and usually gets the offender in trouble pretty deep. Pension granted Increase of pension to $72 per month approved for Patrick Crawford. Veteran of Civil War and this increase is a merited one. Mrs. Edward Kautz, was awarded a pension of $30 per month for her husband's service in the Spanish American War. He died several months ago.
