WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

February 16, 1883

 

 

 

      Irving P. Lord after wrestling for three or four days with neuralgia is able to be about.

 

 

 

      Will and Frank Carr drove over to New London Wednesday to attend the wedding of their mother.

 

 

      Messrs. Dana Bemis & Co have placed a Globe windmill over their apparatus near the Baptist church, for testing the famous rotary power attachment - the coming desideratum, for farmers’ feed mills, dong business, etc., when desired to be driven by wind-power.  The clutch attachment takes the cake and platter too.  But what is better, it is going to be the coming power when applied to machinery.

 

 

      Mr. Royal Green who has been identified with most all the prominent building enterprises in Waupaca for the last twenty-five years, having assisted in building the first court house and finishing the new one, is still hale, hearty and healthy, showing what a temperate life will do for a man.  He is on deck ready for another quarter century.  Mr. Green informs us the outlook for building in 1883 is good, and contracts are already being placed in his hands, for an early commencement of business.

 

      An exchange says the latest fashionable craze among the young ladies is a “Hair Album,” in which is kept a collection of locks of hair of their gentlemen friends.  The samples are neatly tied with a ribbon, and fastened in an album, properly labeled with the name, age, color of eyes, and general appearance of the donor, with such remarks on his character as the fair creature deems fit.  It is said these albums are kept secret from the eyes of gentlemen, being brought forth by the ladies for comparisons with each other.  But it hasn’t struck Waupaca yet, thank heaven!

 

 

      Mr. O.M> Baldwin, late photographer of New London is back in Waupaca, and stopping at his wife’s home - Mr. O.G. Secor’s.  It is rumored O.M. will start the picture business here.

 

 

      Mr. Hanson Billings of Racine, arrived in Waupaca yesterday and will be found at his furniture house at the foot of Main street.  Mr. Peterson has charge of the work department.

 

 

      Yesterday morning W.S. Bemis, president of hte Waupaca Novelty Iron Works and E.M. Pavey, Att’y of Stevens Point, started for New York on a mission connected with some big land and lumber enterprise in Marathon County on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western road.

 

 

      Mr. Ole O. Hole’s mother, Mrs. Ane E. Hole, an aged lady living in New Hope, Portage County, is in a very critical condition, having been stricken with paralysis several months ago.  Mr. Hole went last Friday to see her, and returned Monday.  He is afraid she will not live long, as her extreme age - 73 - makes it doubtful for recovery.

 

 

      A very pleasant matrimonial event is about to take place at Crystal River, when on the 20th. H.J. Cornell, brother of the Methodist minister of Rural, will take unto himself a wife, it being Katie, the amiable and affectionate daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Gruner.  Rev. A.P. Mead will, we understand, tie the little knot that will enable “two fond hearts to beat as one.”  All the above will occur as announced - Providence permitting - and then a pleasant trip to Michigan, Mr. Cornell’s home, will take place.  Good luck to them is the wish of the REPUBLICAN.

 

 

      Our printer friends “over the way”, Will Ogden and Ann Strain, were married at the home of the bride’s mother, in Weyauwega, on Saturday last, Rev. C.E. Carpenter, pastor of the Waupaca M.E. Church, officiating.  The happy pair came back to Waupaca and went to work Monday as if nothing had happened, proposing to take a wedding trip when blizzards and snow banks have melted into gentle zephyrs and the whip-poor-Will sings “when the spring time comes gentle Annie.”  The REPUBLICAN wishes them a cup overflowing with happiness.
