The Cass County Tribune, February 19, 1897 An Ancient Newspaper Phil SAUTER, the well known harness maker, is the proud possessor of a newspaper 169 years old. It is entitled the New England Weekly Journal and was published in the city of Boston under date of April 28th, 1728. It is in excellent preservation, the printing being very clear, and the paper quite clean and free from discoloration. The type is the early English style, and somewhat difficult to read. The most conspicuous items are under the head of News from England, but which was nearly two months old. Notices of slaves for sale, and descriptions of slaves having run away partly fill the paper which is only a single sheet. There was only one copy like it at the worlds fair, and Mr. Sauter intends to have his copy fraimed [sic] and exhibit it at the trans-Mississippi exposition next year. Mrs. ROCKWELL Dies Suddenly. WEEPING WATER, Neb., Feb. 15 [article cut off] [Column of brief news items] Dan Smith, the efficient foreman of the B. & M. paint shop, is getting around again as spry and as chipper as a two year old colt. His rheumatism is being driven out of him and he feels as happy as a lark. The Misses Alice and Ethel Dovey, in company with their grandmother, Mrs. C.S. Dawson, are visiting in New York prior to their departure for Eng. [article cut off] Mrs. Robert Sherwood met with a severe accident the other day, slipping down and fracturing her arm. Mrs. W.

Plattte Council No. 372, Knights and Ladies of Security admitted two new members Thursday night, and over a dozen are intending to join.

For a cool, clean, sweet smoke Flor de Pepperberg, Buds and Bocky are superior to any brands of cigars in this western country. Ask your dealer for these brands and enjoy a first-class smoke. J. Pepperberg, Mfr. Herman Dettman, who recently removed from Wabash to Elmwood, has determined to return to his former place of business. Elmwood will lose a substantial citizen and first-class business man, and Wabash will be the gainer. Charley Rutherford, the engineer, went up to Lincoln Monday to undergo an examination by Trainmaster Carter as to his engineering ability.

Mrs. Shipman states that it is doubtful whether the sight can be saved. Work upon the rebuilding of the coach shop will be commenced as soon as the ironwork can be gotten out. Casting the columns is now underway and in a few weeks, the work will be commenced on the building itself. The company has been making the tool chests to replace those lost by the men in the fire, and the action of the company in every particular has been as to create the warmest feeling of appreciation by the men. The Burlington never does things halfway, and its employees and the public should not overlook that fact. Plattsmouth Journal, Monday, June 25, 1917 Merle Parmele drowns. Top of article cut off.The young man had gone to the farm from this city at an early hour this morning and the drowning occurred shortly after 11 o'clock, and it was after 12:30 that the body was brought home by the members of the rescue party from this city.James Jones, the friend of Mr. Parmele, who was with him at the time of the unfortunate affair, states that Merle had been paddling around on a log over the pond and had tried to get off and swim, but suddenly seemed to have stepped off into a hole of very deep water and was unable to get out. Mr. Jones came to the aid of his companion, but the drowning man fought so desperately that it was impossible for effective assistance to be given and the death of the young man resulted. The body was brought back to this city, where it was prepared for burial and removed to the home of the parents to remain until the funeral services. The death of this estimable young man, just in the flower of his young manhood comes a a crushing blow to the parents and other relatives and friends and its suddenness has dealt them a most heart breaking blow, from which they are bowed in grief. In the sad hour of death, the deepest sympathy of the community goes out to the stricken ones with a prayer that the wounds may be healed by the Divine Spirit although deep and hard to bear. Mr. Parmele was one of the highly esteemed young men of the community, who was devoted to his duties and whose quiet and unassuming actions had won him a great many warm friends who are grief stricken at the tragedy that closed so untimely his promising life. He was twenty-seven years of age and leaves beside the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Q.K. Parmele, one sister, Mrs. Charles H. Hula, to mourn his untimely death. The funeral services will be held on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home on Marble street, and the interment had in the Oak Hill Cemetery.

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock the ladies of St. Mary's Guild of St. Luke's church assembled at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Herold in the north part of the city to tender a farewell to Mrs. E.W. Cook, who will soon depart for Rock Island, Illinois, where they will make their home in the future. As the festivities were to be held on the pretty lawn and porch at the Herold home, the spacious porch and lawn were made very attractive, comfortable and homelike with easy chairs and tables garnished with beautiful bouquets of golden flow. In the midst of these alluring surroundings a large table had been placed, which was laden with the many good things to eat. As the ladies gathered, Misses Ursula Herold and Margaret Schlater introduced a flag guessing contest, in which little folders bearing the numbers corresponding with the numbers of their flag chart, were distributed. The ladies were requested to guess the nation to which the flag belonged. Miss Ione Dovey was awarded the prize - a handsome bouquet of garden flowers, having guessed the largest numbers. This little flag chart was constructed by little Ursula HEROLD and was quite unique and artistic in its make-up. At the hour of six, Father Leete pronounced a word of prayer and then a delicious and most toothsome super was served in cafeteria style. Just before the good things to eat were about to disappear, watermelons were brought on the scene and served. It was announced that a watermelon eating contest would be held and those desiring to participate were asked to line up. In this contest, Mrs. Robert A. Bates carried off the prize, a tiny gift basket. A peanut hunt was then announced, peanuts having been hid about the lawn and the guests were requested to find them. Mrs. R.A. Bates found the most and received a handkerchief. The next contest was to drive four nails into a board. Mrs. J.C. Peterson, Sr., proved to be the swiftest and was presented with a fine hammer. The second prize was given to Mrs. P.J. FLYNN - a kitchen utensil. The next game was the best of all that of keeping a feather up in the air for five minutes without touching it with their hands. Mrs. James DONNELLY captured the prize in this unique contest a beautiful little traveling case. The guests entered into the various games and contests with much interest and enthusiasm and each diversion furnished the nucleus around which was woven much amusement and pleasure. Mrs. Cook then expressed her appreciation of this delightful farewell, and also expressed her regrets at having to remove from the midst of the guests, as she had enjoyed her associations and work in the St. Mary's Guild at Plattsmouth. Mrs. J.A. Donelan, president of St. Mary's Guild, responded and expressed the regret of the society at being called upon to lose Mrs. Cook from its midst, but wished her much happiness in her new home. Social conversation brought to a close one of the most delightful social events of the summer season, and also one that will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to be in attendance. After thanking Mr. and Mrs. Herold for their kind hospitality, the guests dispersed. Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 30, 1917 Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, March 21, 1918 Dr. E.W.
