Inclosinp rhprk for next vear's
Gazette Times which I cannot be
without.
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.

After the church service on

was held. Elder Keisig, wno is
head of the junior missionary
volunteers in the northwest con
ference district, was here from
Spokane to take charge of the
sprvire. He gave us a talk and
each of us received an honor in
leather craft and rock and mine
rals. Omer Huston gave short
talk on what we had to do to
get an honor and Steve and Peg
