Ponca, Neb., July 18, — Special:
A feature of the annual entertainment of the grandmother’s club of this city was the observation of the 80th birthday of Mr. H. C. Fields, who was a guest of honor. Mr. Fields has been a continuous resident of Dixon county for 55 years, having settled on a farm west of Newcastle, in 1869. In 1885 he moved with his family to Ponca, where he has since resided. Mr. Fields still enjoys excellent health, performing many tasks. He mows his own lawn and drives his own car with hands that once guided ox teams, and works in his garden.
