I borrowed a couple of Santa's elves and they help to add 73 typed pages to our Cedar Co. web site!! I think this is a great addition for research. Lots of names, dates, etc., and I'm impressed that we were able to get it added just before Christmas, maybe those who get a new computer for Christmas will be looking for someone who was in Cedar Co. early on. This file is large so if you have problem with it loading, let me know I will cut it in half. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mocedar/index.htm Or to go directly to the new information: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mocedar/cecogoodspeed.html Thanks to Genia (Helm) Rhea and Eileen Cummings. They were so much help with this project. To all who volunteered, maybe next time!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR, to each and every one. Kay

Willis Vassor, son of James and Alice Flood, died Oct. 19, 1905, at the age of three years, five months and 10 days, and was laid to rest in the Hackleman Cemetery Oct. 20. Little Willis was almost super human, having the most perfect form, both in body and intellect, and was endowed with moral worth beyond belief, and thus assigning him a place with the good and happy on the other shore. And now this angelic boy may be deputized to extend his little hands entreating the parents and loved ones to follow and enjoy that happy place. A few more years of sorrow past, We'll reach the happy shore; Where death divided friends at last, Shall meet to part no more. The people with heartfelt sympathy all partake of the bereavement and grief of the surviving friends.

There is a lot of selling out and leaving Cedar County. We are looking for a big coming back next fall. Some of the old Cedar County folks already have come back. Nov. 23: Frank Nickers has returned from Kansas where he has been working for some time. B. B.

Excerpts taken from October 1905 issues of the Cedar County Republican Community Items Mt. Enon Oct. 12: Most farmers have their wheat sowed. Health is good in this part. B.F. Vickers is going to help Sam Simrell make sorghum this week. Graceland Oct. 12: We are having some cool weather this week. Jim and George Graves have left for Oklahoma. Willis Hornbuck returned home Saturday from Oregon where he has been spending the summer. East Ivy Oct. 19: John Flood and family will move to the territory in a few days. Earl Johnson is the champion bean eater. He ate 13 cans of Boston Baked Beans in two days. Who can beat that? Ham Fredle, while cutting cane the other day, made a mistake and stuck the corn knife in his leg. Blood poison has set in and Dr. Ben Younger is waiting on him. Jerico Oct. 19: G.S. Brown, who recently purchased an interest in the Jerico Roller ills, was married to Mrs. Alice McKinney while he was absent on a trip to Iowa. Mr. Brown is well known to the people of this town and country. He resided here about 12 years ago, and was in the real estate business with C.E. Whitsitt, Mrs. McKinney has resided near Logan, Iowa, for a number of years, and is well known and highly esteemed by the people of Logan and vicinity. They were married at the home of Mrs. McKinney's mother Sept. 20, by the Rev. Cramer. Wagoner Oct. 19: Working the streets is the order of the day. Grandma Marshall and granddaughter, Miss Pearl Montgomery, are visiting in Polk County his [sic] week. James Hyder, of near Cedar Creek, reports a fine crop of molasses this year --- about 500 gallon. Tingley Oct. 19: The moonlight nights of last week started the annual harvest of possums and skunks. From the number of false reports that are occasionally circulated, it is quite evident that there are persons in the neighborhood who are inclined to be careless in drawing conclusions. It does no particular harm to surmise a thing so long as public expression is not given thereto. When, however, an individual utters what he believes might be the fact, and yet does not know it to be so, is guilty of an act more likely to injure than to benefit. Several false reports have been current of late which have elicited no little wonder as to how they could have originated. The best method is to not indulge in guess work when it comes to discussing other individuals and their business affairs. Oct. 26: Aaron Tingley will have a sale in the near future as he contemplates moving to Joplin. George Gillman left a few days since for Bisbee, Ariz., where he goes to work in the mines. Filley Oct. 19: Joe Walden is building an addition of one room to his residence. Our "Texas rangers" have returned, and from the movements of some of them, it looks as though they are going to be Missourians for a while yet. Crisp Oct. 19: the pie supper at Crisp Friday night was successful. The pies were sold to the highest bidders, Miss Hattie Duncan received the dish of choice candy for the prettiest girl and Frank Lindley received the looking glass for the ugliest man. The proceeds to for library books. Caplinger Mills Oct. 19: Whinrey Bros. are getting ready to repair their mill dam that the high water damaged. There will be a meeting of the Caplinger switchboard directors on Saturday night, Oct. 21. Claud Oct. 19: Our little city is improving, A.L. Burchett has erected a new barn. C.M. Dawes returned on last Saturday for Texas where he has been to look out a location. He says Texas don't suit him as well as old Cedar. Ivy Oct. 19: Some chills and fever in this part yet. The school at West Union is getting along fine with a good attendance. Forest Grove Oct. 26: Summers Bros. have moved their saw mill from Balm Springs and set on the Tom Morton land near Hazel Dell Church. [The following article is not under any community heading or otherwise] Hiram N. Paynter and Miss Stella Jackson were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.G. Jackson at Bear Creek Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Keeton, of Fair Play, officiated. The groom is the cashier of the Stockton Commercial Bank and one of the best young men associated in business circles in the county. He is a son of Judge G.W. Paynter. The bride is a charming young lady whose friends are numbered by her acquaintances. Her home training has prepared her well for her new station in life. The happy couple came to Stockton Monday afternoon and went to the home which had been prepared for them in the C.R. Church property, which the groom purchased a few weeks ago. Their many friend extend best wishes and congratulations. The young people turned out and gave the happy couple a reception Monday night and were invited into the house where they were treated to fruit and cigars. This issue has two advertisements for C. Rogers Druggist and D.S. King, for farm implements and buggies, surreys, wind mills and pumps.
