OBITUARY

Winferd Paul Hines was born August 31, 1906, and died June 29, 1915. Had he lived until August of this year he would have been 9 years old. Paul was taken very sick last Saturday with appendicitis. On Tuesday morning an operation was performed, but the trouble was so far advanced that the operation could bring no relief, and seven hours later death ensued. Paul was an unusually bright boy and possessed qualities which gave promise of a prudent and useful life. A garden and chickens were among his possessions and of these he made disposition to other members of the family with the foresight of an adult of mature years. He was a faithful attendant at Sunday school and anticipated church membership. His parents, Mr and Mrs Thos Hines, bowed down with grief, have the sympathy of the community in which they live in their untimely loss.

The funeral service was held at the home Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev B.H. Coonradt officiating and interment was made in the Hamburg cemetery.

SKULL AND MASTODON FOUND

The heavy rains of the past few weeks have unearthed some long buried objects, and among them has come to light this week the skull of a human and a mastodon tooth.

A.L. Fisher brought to this office Monday a well preserved skull which he found in Dog Creek, or the Branch, about a week ago. The skull is very dark in color and those who have seen it insist that it is an Indian skull.

A mastodon tooth was found near the Bert Pippitt place, measuring 6 1/2 inches and weighing 5 1/2 pounds. It is a molar tooth and has two roots. This animal resembles much the present day elephant and roamed these parts during the Glacial or Pleistocene age.

 
Not many, if any, know that Ranta Latashaw, nephew of the old chief, Waubonsie, was in Hamburg for a few hours Tuesday morning on his trail home to Paul's Valley, Okla. He was born on the site where Bartlett now stands, in 1855, about the time B.M. Baldwin purchased the land. Latashaw is 60 years old. He owns land near Sulphur Springs, Okla.

Franklin Shaver of Hamburg, Iowa and a cousin of Mrs Newland, became the bride of George R. Jordan, junior member of the wholesale grocery firm of Liechner, Jordan & Co. of Portsmouth, Ohio.....

A reception will be held in their honor at the J.W. Jordan home, the parents of the groom, in Portsmouth, on Thursday evening.
