NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1939 Ye Snooper’s Column Things About Nyssa’s Shops We did with many others this past Sunday pause to pay our last respects to an old friend. One who in the years we have been in Nyssa we did come to love well and whom with so many others will miss him in his accustomed place. We do speak of Fred Marshall who tho he had for many years passed his three score and ten was still called "Fred" by those who knew him. And while illness had kept him for a long time from any activity in the marts still was he noted for his generosity and charity to those in need, and for his gentleness and neighborliness to everyone. And we did think that perhaps no greater thing can one leave be hind when release from this mortal coil comes than love and goodfel- lowship in the hearts of those who remain behind. This past week when the sun was at its worst the permanent boss didst lose his prize chapeau. Tho why he shouldst set such store by it is past understanding. For it ist battered past all semblance of its former self. A dent up in the front, a dip down on the sides, the crown long since hast acquired a squashed effect and as polka dotted as a thoroughbred Lewlien’s tummy. But he says it fits his head. So thats that. And after long search and a day when he did go bareheaded rather than wear the cleaned one reposing on the closet shelf this much prized object wast found re posing on the closet shelf where it belongs. How it got there wilt never be known for usually it hangs on the nearest door knob or ist draped effectively over the vase on the book case or just any place but where it belongs. Perhaps we ourselves in an absent minded moment didst put it away out of company eye sight. ; 9 But anyhow didst vow to clean up the place where things should be put but seldom are. And were amazed at the things that had found their way in there We started on the bosses ties. Slews of them far past further useful ser vice.
