FENNIMORE..
The Times says:
A week ago it was snowing and
blowing— today John Vesperman is
sowing his father’s Henry Vesper
man’s wheat. Nothing could better
illustrate the wonderful change of
weather we have experienced in a
few days. That’s the first grain that
was sowed this year without a doubt.
Mrs. Malachi Simons on Monday
celebrated her 91st birthday. She is
enjoying reasonably good health and
is able do her own work. Mr.
Simons, who was 85 in February, is
not so robust as usual and does not
get out of the house much. They are
among our most venerable and highly
esteemed citizens. It is a comfort to
them to have their son Richard with
them.
It was with sorrow we heard yes
terday of the death of one of Fenni
more’s oldest and best known citi
zens, Mr. H. H. Hampton, which oc
curred Monday at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Henry Dufner, at Clin
ton, 111. “Uncle Sam” as he was com
monly called, will be sincerely mourn
ed by a large circle of friends. He
has been in poor health the past win
ter and since going to Clinton about
Christmas time has been much worse,
being confined to his bed much of the
time. He is survived by his wife, one
son, Horace, of Choteau, Mont., and
one daughter, Mrs. Henry Dufner of
Clinton. 111. The body is expected to
arrive from Clinton today and will be
taken to Lancaster for burial at the
Boice Prairie cemetery.
Fennimore’s grand old man, M. P.
Smith, observed his 89th birthday yes
terday. For his advanced age he is
remarkably active and keen of mind.
He has been a resident of Fennimore
for nearly 70 years and has cast his
ballot at every presidential election
and lived under the regime of all but
six of the presidents of the U. S.,
a truly marvelous record. His first
vote was cast for Winfield Scott. His
long life has been interwoven with
the history of Fennimore and he is
greatly beloved by all. May he live
to round out a hundred years is the
wish of his friends. Mr. Smith took
occasion to have his picture taken at
the Brintnall studio yesterday and we
hope to be able to reproduce same for
the benefit of former residents of
Fennimore. An enjoyable birthday
dinner was given in his honor yester
day. \
