Plattsmouth Journal, July 4, 1918
The editor and wife [of the
Plattsmouth Journal] are rejoicing because of the arrival of a new
son at their home on Tuesday, July 2nd, 1918. Little George William
Jr., says that he likes his little brother all right but he makes an
awful noise. So we are all satisfied with the young man and we know
he will keep us good company for he has a dandy pair of lungs. We
find it hard to say what we want to say, but we will let it go at
this and accept the congratulations of our friends because of our
happy good fortune. -- A ten pound baby boy.
Geo. Nickles and Gertrude Long
motored to Omaha Sunday.
Word has been received here
from Corpus Christi, Texas, to the effect that Robt. Patterson, son
of the late Silas Patterson, is confined to his home suffering with
pneumonia.

business in Nehawka Sunday evening.

Ford route.

of Manley visited over Sunday the home of the latterÕs [print

Alf. Nickels, who has been down
at Hot Springs, Ark., for the past few months, where he has been
receiving treatment for rheumatism, has started for home. The trip
will be made in his Ford car, and he left on Tuesday of last week, so
we may expect to see him home most any day. For some distance out of
Hot Springs he met with very rough roads and only made 231 miles the
first three days. We trust that he will arrive home feeling greatly
improved from the baths and treatments received.
All the sons and daughters of
Mr. And Mrs. Wm. Puls gathered at the parental home last Sunday to
spend the day. There were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Puls and family, Mr. And

pleasant one for them all.
L. H. Puls, the Murray Alamo
Light Plant Agent, has just completed the Installation of one of
those fine plants in the beautiful farm home of Wm. Peters, southeast
of Weeping water. This plant is the largest made by the Alamo
company, and covers the residence and every outbuilding on the farm.
It will not only give perfect light all over the farm, but will
furnish power for all the minor machinery about the home, such as
separators, washing machines, churns, etc. The farmers of Cass county
are progressive and want everything modern in and about the home. The
Alamo solves the light question for them.
SOCIAL DANCE.
There will be another social
dance given at the Puls & Gansemer hall in Murray, on Wednesday
evening, July 10th. The music will be furnished by Dandusdenes Famous
Colored Orchestra, of Omaha. You are invited to come out and have a
good time.

LESTER VROMAN RETURNS.
From Friday's Daily.
Lester Vroman, who has been stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor in Kentucky, for the past four or five months, was mustered out of the service and returned home this morning. Lester is a fine looking young man, and presents still a better appearance in his natty uniform. He was a good worker, and the way in which he is costumed makes him look as though he had grown both taller and broader. He will soon be digging into the activities of civil life.
Note by descendant, Thomas York, written in 2002:
My father was buying a house in
Plattsmouth, but lost it, I think when the Burlington went on strike,
maybe around 1920, so he moved to Chicago. His sister and her
husband, Helen York Vroman and Eugene 'Tine' Vroman stayed in
Plattsmouth and raised their family.
