Early Days in the West
Early Days in the West
"T. Graff Tells More of His Experiences on the frontier in the 50s." In this installment, Theophiel Graff tells of being caught in quicksand moving logs across the Platte river near the Bordo trading post; of being caught in a snowstorm near Fort Laramie, forced to survive in five feet of snow for over a week on the meat from a old dead mule; and encountering a large bear while picking cherries, his gun not to hand to defend himself. He also relates a humorous story he was told about how the Sweetwater River in Wyoming got its name - "...a freighter (wagon pulled by oxen) was approaching the stream with a load of sugar when his thristy oxen, smelling the water, ran to the river, going over the bank and upsetting the sugar into the water."

Ella Fisher working new Colusa
Ella Fisher working new Colusa
This article suggests that Ella and children may have left Orville Fisher as early as 1914. Colusa here is Colusa IL, located near Dallas City IL about 20 miles from her previous home with Orville in Blandinsville. By 1920 Ella and children have removed to Rice Ce o., KS. That she is writing to the Blandinsville Star-Gazette to apprise them of her whereabouts suggests she retained friends in Blandinsville after leaving Orville. Given Orville's many alcohol-related criminal activities including the the attempted rape of 5 y/o Ester Bailey in 1906 for which Orville served three years in the Men's Penitentiary in Fort Madison IA, one imagines Ella's was a very tragic and sympathetic figure in Blandinsville and well supported in her leaving.

Erma's horse was hitched with another belonging to a Mr. Henry to a breaking plow to plow a garden at Erma's House. "...the Henry horse became fractious, pumped against the Farris horse, knocked it down and continued to plunge until it pulled the sharp point of the plow (held by Charles Fisher) into it completely disemboweling it....The horse was killed and put out of it's misery. This was a hard blow on Miss Farris as she teaches school at Robin Green and used the horse every day and can ill afford to bear the loss." A collection was taken up to buy Erma a new horse.

Farris squash vine busts record 1938
"The most exiting thing in Blandinsville this week is a squash vine down at the Erma and Orie Farris home in the south part of town. It was grown by Fred Fisher from seed which weighed a small fraction of an ounce. And it has produced something over 400 pounds of squashes...Fred showed us his vine one morning last week. It covers three square rods of ground, has a parent stalk as big as your arm and leaves that look like palm-leaf fans. It had 33 squashes on it which weighed as much as.60 pounds per squash. Eight of them weighed well over 300, and that's à lot' of squash." Had to say who deserves more credit. Fred planted it, but the vines grew and were probably watered and tended by the Farris sisters. Women in this time rarely get credit for anything.

Plea by George Foster who was apparently Trustee for the Blandinsville South Cemetery for financial aid to maintain the cemetery.

We ask everybody who has a lot to help us with a donation of fifty cents to be left with R. R. Pearson at the bank. If all will respond promptly we will have enough for the summer and will not bother you again till the fall cleaning."
