I deeply appreciate reading the article pertaining to the lone school of 1904. As many of these students in later years were very close friends of mine and I have not seen them for over 30 long years and often think of them as childhood friends are always dearest in life's memories. The little girls Marie Cason was a close friend, also her folks and brothers and sisters, as were the Blake boys, the Dobyns, Busch- kes, Clay Wood, Walter and Hobart .lohnsnn the Mason bovs. the Crancpr rhilrlren. the PettVS children and many more. I was raised in Lexington and was one of the four to be tne first to enlist in World War I, and in, those early days of 1900 lone to Henoner was a day's travel by team and buggy so social contacts were very limited. Once in a while some of the business men of lone Bert Mason, Mat Hal vorsen, and others wrould stop In Lexington and tell us the hap penings of lone. I read another article from the lone school about a year ago re garding the population of the sur rounding country. This article contained a lot of thought for Morrow county, and U. S. A. In 1910, as I remember, about every section of 640 supported a fam ily and there were many country the three R's and the teachers schools where we were taught were free at discipline. My nrst teacher was Miss Elsie Palmer and she walked over the moun tains to teach for $40 a month and she was wonderful, in Tone there were three stores and two hotels and some saloons and a verv few people in debt. In Lexington there were three fino stores, a drug store, two hotels, two livery stables, two blacksmith shops and two bar ber shops and wheat was boc per bushel. Another article I read in March 29 GT was the passing of our very dear friend and former mer chant Ruffie Nichols. To be sure all that lived in Morrow county in Ruffie's time will remember him as he was a friend of us teenagers as well as to the peo ple of the county. In the last few years I have always stopped to visit Ruffie and Lulu, but both are now gone. D. B. Boone Roseburg, Ore. cnhnni crnunds which was plant ed with a tree on Arbor Day 1904.
