WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

January 16, 1880

 

Curling Club

 

            Waupaca may now boast a regularly organized Curling Club, ready for the icy campaign of 1880.  The following gentlemen constitute what may be called the charter members:  E. Coolidge, H.W. Williams, Rev. F.C. Haddock, S.T. Oborn, W.A. West, T.L. Jeffers, Ed Bailey, R. Bailey, J.O. Scott, A.R. Lea, D. Lytle, E.C. Bronson, Ed Jeffers.  The following are the officers of the club:

                        President, E. Coolidge

                        Vice Pres’t, H.W. Williams

                        Secretary, J.O. Scott

                        Treasurer, S.T. Oborn

            The boys marked out a rink on the lake last Saturday morning and made it lively all day.  On Monday they were not so sore with their vigorous exercise but that they renewed their work.  It is probable that before the close of the winter there will be some lively games.  As yet it has been but mere practice.
