Equal to Professional
Home Minstrels Made A Decided Hit.
A pronounced success is the general verdict of the immense crowd which packed the City Opera House last night to witness the entertainment by the George & Mougey Minstrels. It was perhaps a greater hit as a home talent production than Wooster people have seen in recent years and throughout the entire performance the highest interest was manifest and the most hearty applause given each and every feature rendered.
Shortly after 8 o’clock the bugle call announced to the expectant audience that the show would begin. The curtain was raised just as the quartette orchestra played the last strains of “Old Oaken Bucket” and then by a novel and skillful plan the performers marched in to the music of the orchestra and with the most exact movements took their places in the semi-circle. The stage arrangement was beautiful. The setting represented a sunset and gave the back ground a most cheering aspect. Dressed in gaudy costume the four end men (the only ones in black faces) sat at the front of the stage. H. Zeigler and Frank Boigegrain with the bones on the left. Al Mougey and Fred Faber, with the tambourines on the right. In the center on a slightly elevated seat sat the interlocutor, Geo. Plumer, Jr., and at his right and left sat the vocal quartette made up as follows: Charles Curry 1st tenor, J.J. Bechtel 2nd tenor, James Glass 1st bass, Thomas C. Clark 2nd bass. Messrs. W.G. McClellan and Ed. Rhein made up the remainder of the circle. On the back part of the stage, stationed on an elevated platform was the orchestra, the persons and parts of which are: Prof. Dan Roth leader, 1st violin. Frank Smith 2nd violin. Jacob Graber clarionet. Charles Roth coronet. Will Hess piccolo. H. Roth trombone. Geo. Limb bass viol., Ad Ellsperman snare drum and between the orchestra and the minstrel circle sat Messrs. Frank Fletcher, Ban Alcock and Harry Sweeney, members of the Fletcher Mandolin Club.
“The grand assembly of bright stars of the amateur ministrelsy” then rendered the following programme:

Part I
Overture—“Siege of Paris, Orchestra
“Windsor Club”, Mr. H.H. Zigler
“Again Your Darling I’ll Be” Mr. Thomas Clark
“The Colored Band” Mr. Alvin Mougey
“Don’t Shut Out the Sunlight, Mother” Mr. J.J. Bechtel
“Bunch of Whiskers on His Chin” Mr. F.E. DuBois
“My Sweetheart Irene” Mr. Charles Curry
“The Sidewalks of New York” Messrs. Du Bois and Mougey
“I Am Dreaming” Mr. James Glass
Grand Finale—Full Chorus assisted by the Fletcher Mandolin Club.
Part II
Overture, Orchestra
Signore Castello in his wonderful balancing acts.
Prof. Dio De Fau in his celebrated “Challenge Trick” on the slack wire.
The Fletcher Mandolin Club in selections written especially for this Club.
Mr. Harley Zigler in his soul stirring Stump Speech entitled, “Who and Where.”
Our Crack Drill Corps under command of Capt. Forbes Alcock will execute all the intricate movements known in military tactics.

The musical part of the programme was rendered in pleasing manner. The soloists showed much power in their parts and the quartette sang with splendid harmony and grace. The Mandolin Club were well received. Nearly every musical number vocal and instrumental rendered during the evening was heartily recalled. The jokes were lively and apt and the local hits fitted first rate without being malicious.
Signor Castello (Ed Rhein) in his balancing acts received generous applause and especially was the feat of balancing a whalebone whip very well performed. Prof. Dio De Fau (W.G.McClellan) showed special skill on the slack wire. Harley Zigler awakened and inspired the multitude and proved himself a “spell-binder” of unusual lungs and versosity. Capt. Forbes Alcock’s men in their gray dress suits and bearskin shakos, not only looked well but manifested marked skill in the silent drill. The corps consisted of Messrs. Taylor, McClure, Shively, Glass, Curry, Faber, Hildebrand and Dice.
Very many who meant to attend or desired to do so were detained in different ways and all of these will be glad to hear that they will have another chance, as ther is some talk of having the George & Mougey minstrels repeat their performance in a week or so for sweet charity’s sake, the money made to be placed where it will do the most good. We think the members of the company would willingly lend their services and repeat their performance, should the proper people interest themselves in it.

Jolly Church Picnic. 
English Lutherans Have Plenty Of Pleasure.
 Old and Young Enjoy Themselves—Prize Winners—John Wesleyans Get Away With Martin Lutherans.
A perfect day for such exercises drew out one of the largest crowds the English Lutheran Sunday School has had in recent years at the picnic and field day sports at Highland Park yesterday. Over 400 plates were served at dinner and many persons went out during the afternoon to witness the programme.
The first on the programme was a game of ball between the Methodists and Lutherans. Last year the Lutherans were challanged at the Methodist picnic and left the field victorious. This year the invitation was extended to the Methodists for a friendly game, which was accepted. John Calvin called judgment while John Wesley downed Martin Luther in a score of 27 to 14 as follows.

Batteres—Taylor and Hay, Lehman and Miller.
Umpire—D.H. Morgan, Presbyterian.

No. 2. Handicap running race—Primary Department. Little Mary Clem ran like the wind and won a set of Drawing pencils. Master Tawney wanted his papa to buy him a handicap so he could enter the race.
No. 3. Shoe race—Frank Starn gave the town boys a pointer how to pick out a pair of shoes and put them on when running to a fire. He received a pair of tennis shoes.
No. 4. Sticking Pole—Ada Starn captured a pocket case for making the best circle and then walking into the center blindfold.
No. 5. Sack Race—Curtis Shipley won for Mrs. Shipley’s class and Eallace Criley for Dr. Criley’s class. In the tie run Wallace Criley won a base ball.
No. 6. Touching tree with wheel barrow—There were 10 or 12 contestants, but Miss Elsie Branstetter made the best circle. Her prize was a pair of scissors.
No. 7. Egg race—This was one of the best numbers on the programme. There were 15 lady contestants. Miss Grace Gaut knows how to pick up an egg in a spoon and run. Mother time isn’t in it. She received an egg bank.
No. 8. Apple eating race—For amusement this number was the best on the programme. Twelve boys with hands tied, trying to eat as many suspended apples, made a most ludicrous sight. Harvey Miller was one of the smallest contestants, but the way he devoured a big sweet apple after he got the thing started was a caution. His prize was a necktie.
No. 9. Potato Race—Imo Miller picked up a row of potatoes one at a time and placed them in a basket in the quickest time and received a link set and pair of cuff buttons.
No. 10. Touching bull’s eye with a pin blindfolded is a nice little trick. At least about 15 young ladies think so. For out of that number, in walking 20 feet only one touched the paper. Miss Emma Hoffman. She received a picture frame.
No. 11. Pie Eating—Probably this number crowded the apple race for amusement and entertainment. None of the proposed contestants mustered up courage to enter. This pleased the judges and starters for they had worked hard and the sight of six tempting country pies gave them a good hungry feeling. Lew Bolus, Dave Nice, Henry Wiler and John Rockey sat down to the little table with great applause and three ladies gallantly stood near by to see that the fairly ate the whole pie. Wiler and Nice both thought they had a pie face, and made a good impression at the start, but lost much valuable time holloing for water, while Bolus ate in that slow get-there-style that fairly made the eyes of the other contestants bulge out. Nice in despair got up on his chair and jumped down repeatedly to help settle the pie, but fate was against him, for Bolus cleaned his platter first and received two pie pans for his feat.
No. 12. Running Race—Rilla Lowery did not leave any grass grow under her feet and won a solid rubber ball.
No. 13. Tug of War—The old men vs. the young men. The old men showed the youngsters how to pull the first time, but in the second and third pulls the boys pulled the wool over the old men’s eyes and won a nice catching glove.
No. 14. Three Legged Race—This was a great race. There were five trials before Jess Miller and George Limb were declared winners and received a good clothes brush and bottle of perfumery.
No. 15. Barrel race—Free for all with three entries. Fred Reddick won a stick pin.
No. 16. Throwing ball—Free for all. Ed. Snyder received a ball bat. A Mr. Hackenberg, of Wittenberg College, was the best thrower on the ground, leading the others by 15 or 20 feet.
No. 17. Running race, 100 yard dash—Harry Lehman ran like a young cyclone and received a book.
No. 18. Bicycle race—Only one entry. Charles McFadden went over the course with a speed that challenged competition and was awarded a leather belt.

September 4th, Co. D travels to Newark for the Annual Encampment of the Eighth Regiment at Camp Howe. Second Lieutenant Marcus R. Limb and Private George S. Limb participate.

A First Class Drum Corps.
New Organization by Wooster Young Men.
The Wooster City Guards Drum Corps is an organization only a couple of weeks old, but as most of the members have had more or less experience along the line proposed, it is likely to be permanent and to serve excellent purpose. Capt. H.L. Kuhns has done much to encourage and promote the enterprise, which will be associated in a measure with his Co D, 8th Infantry, O.N.G., the boys wearing the regulation blue uniform and having their headquarters, practice room, etc., in the City Armory, together with the Guards.
The organization will be thoroughly drilled and will be a fine affair for all street parades of the various political parties and whatever occasion requires the inspiring music of the fife and drum and the blaring bugle. The present membership is as follows: Drum Majors—Frank Cummings, James Edwards. Bugles—Chas. Roth, E.R. Kronk, Geo. Wood, Harry Strow, Theo. Wiggins, D. Goudy. Fifes—W.H. Robison, Albert J. Harry, C. Grank, W.G. Hess. Snare Drums—Frank Kester, Ad. Ellsperman, Horace Barrett, Fred Schuch, Geo. Limb. Bass Drums—Geo. Miller, Emil Conrad. The business manager is Ad. Ellsperman, agent of the U.S. Express Co.
Many of these names will be recognized as members of the G.A.R. drum corps that did so well until its dissolution about three years ago. The first public appearance of the new drum corps was made today, by such of the members as could get away to a Democratic mass meeting in Nashville, Holmes Co., this afternoon. The corps left on train 31 for Shreve, from there going overland in carriages to Nashville, coming home on train 20. The 14 who turned out made a fine appearance and pleased the public. The money secured by the various engagements, the boys will use to buy bugles and other equipments, it being their intention to secure all needed supplies in a business way, without any call upon the community. The enterprise is a worthy one in all ways, and will doubtless deserve and receive the hearty public appreciation and support.

Music To Make More Music.
Methodist Church Choir Concert and Social a Success.
From Friday’s Daily.
The entertainment given in the Methodist church last night by and for the benefit of the choir, was a success in every way, the financial portion being especially gratifying. The concert was given in the church parlors, which were all too small to accommodate the audience. The programme was as follows: Selection, Mandolin Club, Anthem, Choir; Recitation, Lucy Barrett, Piano Solo, Mrs. Geo. I Woner, Vocal Solo, Mrs. W.A. Mougay, Selection, Mandolin Club, Overture, Church Choir.
The Mandolin Club as usual pleased all with their music. Miss Lucy Barrett gave her number so well as to be recalled. Mrs. Geo. I. Woner, who made her first appearance before a Wooster audience, executed her selection so pleasingly as to stamp her as an accomplished performer and was greeted with such persistent applause that she was forced to respond to an encore. Mrs. Woner’s name on programmes in future entertainments will be hailed with pleasure by those who heard her last evening. Mrs. W.A. Mougay in her number increased the good impression she made at a recent concert by the charming manner in which she sang a pretty soprano solo, and was equally pleasing with her encore. The piano accompaniment was played by Grace Taylor. The surprise of the evening came when the newly-organized church orchestra played an overture. The instrumentation and membership are as follows: Director, W. Clifford Stauffer; piano, Miss Lily Landis; violins, Miss Birdie Wilhelm, Clarence Nolan, Wm. Hurst, Harry Young; flutes, Will Hess, Henry Schuch; clarinets, Will Smith, Fred Krause; cornets, Horace Barrett, Clayton Goudy; trombone, George Limb; cello, Prof. Cooper; bass, ? Jones. Although organized only within the week and appearing after the third rehearsal the overture was so well executed that an outburst of applause greeted the effort. In response to the vigorous plaudits, “The Bohemian Girl Waltz,” by Whitcomb, was played. The orchestra made such a pleasing impression that many of the members suggested that steps be taken to make the organization a permanent one for church work. After the programme had been carried out, refreshments, sherbet and cake, were served to all by the male members of the choir, who were all dressed as waiters. The proceeds to be invested in new music.

Success of Wooster Band Concert.
A very large audience attended the concert at City Opera House last Thursday evening, given for the benefit of the newly organized Wooster City Band. This organization is composed of the best talent, and is incorporated so a to be permanent, and not disband every few seasons, as a number of bands in Wooster have heretofore done. They deserve and receive the substantial support of our citizens, who believe that Wooster is able to have f first class band.
The members of the band consist of the following gentlemen: Musical Director, Prof. Steve E. Smith; Tuba, Frank Lowery; Baritone, Will S. Brown; Slide Trombone, Harry Sweeny; 1st Trombone, George Limb; 2d Trombone, Emil Conrad; Solo Also, Everett Reider; 1st Alto, Columbus Grant; 2d Alto Edward Reider; E Flat Clarinet, Jacob Graber; Solo B Flat Clarinet, Oscar Puegner; 1st B Flat Clarinet, J.R. Webster; Iiccolo, Will Hess; Solo B Flat Cornets, Harry Strow, Dayton Goudy; Tenor Drum, Fred Schuch; Bass Drum and Cymbals, Horace Miller.
The Program of the concert was as follows:
March—The Great Cap’ai – Band
Overaturo—A Pleasant Evening – Band
Selection – Ladies’ Mandolin Club
Clarinet Solo—The Warbler – Jacob Gruber
Descriptive Overture—Senator Jones’ Fox Chase – Opera House Orchestra
Vocal Solo—Ah, So True – Mrs. A.W. Mougey
Selection—Old Kentucky Home – Band
Variations by Baritones, Bass, Cornet, Piccolo, E and B flat Clarinets
Tenor Duet—Merry Birds of Spring – Messsrs. Crites and Curry
Original Selection—Patriotic Airs – Band
Entire change of costume and scenery necessary for this production.
The playing of the band, each number, was surprisingly good, surprising to musical critics who were present to hear what the organization could do. The local and original fox chase overture, specially composed by Prof. Smith, introducing a live fox and hounds, too immensely with the audience. Mr. Jacob Graber proved himself a proficient in his fine solo clarinet playing. The tenor duet by Messrs. Charles Curry and Will Crites was well up to their high standard of musical skill.
Mrs. W.A. Mougay was encored for her artistic and charming singing, and is always a favorite when she appears.
The Ladies’ Mandolin Club won new honors by their fine performance. The Club consists of the following six members: Mrs. James Hill, leader, 1st mandolin; Miss Lola Hurst, 1st mandolin; Miss Grace Martin, 2d mandolin; Miss Lucetta Manges, 2d mandolin; Miss Ella Kinkler, guitar; Miss Jennie Long, guitar. Their first number was a polka. The music was so good that they were encored, and the club re-appeared on the state and gave “Valse la Cuba,” an original composition by their musical instructor, Prof. Alfred Lusk. It was fine and loudly applauded.
This concert by the Wooster City Band, in general and in detail, is regarded as being one of the very best ever produced by local talent, and the public is assured that the band will earnestly strive to advance in popular opinion.

Make A Hit.
Co. D Receiving Attention At Cedar Point.
How a Practical Joker Was Fooled—Sandusky Maidens Smitten With the Boys in Blue—“The Bullet Torn Flag.”
Special Correspondence to The Republican.
Camp Bard, Cedar Point, Aug. 7.—The coming of Co. D to this place was well advertised and upon arrival in Sandusky was applauded by many people who were at the train.
Headed by Shreve’s invincible military band, we marched to the boat landing and boarded the Worley for Cedar Point much to the pleasure of the boys. The camp was found ready for occupation. The advance detail in charge of Sergt. Gasche are hustle?, and had all in readiness. After a hasty dinner prepared by our expert caterer, Jacob Graber, who can cook as well as he can play a clarinet. Jacob and his assistants are cooking special meals for the boys who are easily pleased since they ran up against hard tack and beef.
We find everybody anxious to help us in every way possible. Canton Wright had us well advertised. We occupy the same site as did the Canton—amidst a clump of trees, making a cool and comfortable camp. Near our camp is a good drill ground, on which the company drills morning and afternoon.
Sunday was a big day for Cedar Point. Thousands of people were on the ground. As usual, the boys in blue were in demand. It was nothing unusual to see such boys as Charles Unger, Harry Branstetter, Geo. Limb, and Horace Miller (and there were others) with a fair damsel on each arm.
At the dance pavilion Quintin was in great demand by a fair Sandusky maid, whom, we learned, had wooden feet. It was not necessary to call an ambulance for her.
The Captain is enforcing the strictest kind of military discipline, and complimented us very highly on our conduct thus far.
They tell a good one on Corporal Bob Cameron. Bob sleeps on the upper deck, and had fun at the expense of the boys in the lower deck by accidentally falling through the slats onto the boys below. The last time he did it he found a tubful of water awaiting him. Bob would rather swim in the lake.
“Bobely,” one of our recruits, who never looks at a girl at home, is in great demand. He has proposed to several fair ones.
This lake breeze is a wonderful inducer of a desire to eat.
Ed Mahaney is the champion egg eater, it being his usual issue for breakfast. But “there are others”
A bit excursion from Medina Tuesday. We expect many visitors.
Here in part of an article in the Sandusky Register about Co. D. Note what is said about the “bullet-torn flag.”
“Their tents are new, and are noted for their orderliness. The camp, indeed, is a model one. They have with them a “pup” tent, which is quite a curiosity, as it is the only one in use in Cuba by the Eighth Regiment which is now in existence. All were ordered confiscated on account of the yellow fever germs, but this one was smuggled out by the boys, and is preserved as a relic. Another thing of interest is the regimental flag which is in their possession. Torn and tattered, rent by Spanish bullets, it is proudly given a position of importance at the side of the Captain’s tent. Even in its badly used up condition it is more highly prized than its elegant neighbor, which graces the other side of the tent. The latter was given to the company on its return from Cuba, and is inscribed with the words “Expedition to Cuba” in gold letters. This very interesting company, which has written its record indelibly upon our national history, will be here 10 days. They intend to have a good time and already many of them have gotten into the good graces of Sandusky girls by the same bewitching smile still remembered by the dusky Cuban girl and the Southern beauty.”

Worthy And Attractive.
Are the Social and Military Entertainments ? at The Armory by Company D.
From what many say, we know that Company D, 8th Ohio, at Wooster, officers and men are very enterprising and up to date in everything in the military line as to skill and discipline, and, also, that they endeavor, in a social way, to make the Ohio National Guard popular with citizens, by their genial, honorable personal behavior as gentlemen.
From time to time, regularly, from before, and since, the members of this reorganized gallant Company of the 8th Regiment went to Cuba and returned with honors won in that foreign land, they have, in all ways, endeavored to merit the approval of the public.
Their Armory, on East North street, is consequently a rendezvous of entertainment, which is regularly given there under direction of their Commanding officers, Capt. F.C. Gerlach, Lieut. W.E. Barnard and Lieut. G.W. Unger, and their capable non-commissioned officers, and all men in the line. These entertainments are pleasurable affairs, attended by citizens, men, women and children, all enjoying it as a pastime.
The last, and best one, was Monday evening of last week at the Armory, where a large audience of old and young assembled and much enjoyed, witnessing the various exercises, which, of course, included a lunch and social features.
For pleasure and a good time, go every time to Company D’s entertainment announced to be held at the Armory.
At this last entertainment was the following, exciting and novel.

Programe of Action and Honors Won.
1. Physical Drill, by Sergeant G.S. Limb.
2. Bayonet Exercise, by Lieut. W.E. Barnard.
3. Manual Arms, by Lieut. G.W. Unger.
4. Company Drill, by Captain F.C. Gerlach.
5. Squad Drill contest, won by Corp. C.E. Unger. The object of this contest was to see which Corporal could show the most ability in drilling his squad from a programe given him one-half hour before drill.
6. Freeze-Out Drill, won by Corp. C.E. Unger and Sergt. G.S. Limb. The object of this contest was to see who could drill to the last man without making a mistake. First prize, Company medal and $1; second prize, 50 cents. These prizes are contested for on the first Monday of each month.
7. Tug of War, with six men each, won by Wagoner Naftzger and squad.
8. Blank Cartridge Race, won by Private Lee Gregory. The object of this contest was to see which man could first fire six cartridges placed a different intervals on the floor, each time bringing the cartridges to the starting point before firing. The sixth cartridge loaded signified when the last one was fired.
9. Equipment Race, won by Private Ralph E. Hard. The men in this contest removed their equipment, placing it at intervals on the floor, returning replacing it. The first man ready for inspection won the contest.
10. Pitching Shelter Tents, won by H.L. McClellan and Harry Branstetter. Such tents as were used during the Cuban campaign. The object in this contest was to see which two could be first to pitch their tents.
11. Striking Shelter Tents, novelty, won by Percy Maize and Clement E. Langell. The object in this contest was to see which two men could first take down their tents and be ready to march away with all their equipment. This is supposed to take place during a midnight alarm. The men in the tent pitching contest had had no practice in pitching tents since the Spanish American War.

City Band Concerts on the Public Square.
The first open air, free concert to the public, was given last Thursday evening by the Wooster City Band at the band stand on the west side of the public square. At least 1,000 people attended and expressed the pleasure which the music gave them.
After the band had played an excellent opening piece, Probate Judge Robert L. Adair called the assemblage to order. He stated that the band was an organization of which Wooster might feel justly proud, and that the citizens generally ought to be liberal in supporting the band in a financial manner. That the members of the band had, themselves purchased instruments at a cost of about $800, that they deserved to get suitable uniforms, which will cost about $400 that of this sum the band will furnish $300, and that they therefore request the citizens of Wooster and vicinity to donate the other $200. In addition to this the running expenses of the band are about $300 per year for music, rent of room, etc. which is paid by the members of the band. The band should be supported. An opportunity will be given within the next few weeks for every citizen who desires to support the band to make a donation.
The members of the band are Director S.F. Smith, cornets Harry Strow, D.W. Goudy, Horace Barrett, C.P. Bixler; clarinet, Harry Hurst; piccolos, Will Hess, Wile Smith, Eb Bass, Frank Lowery, baritone, Chas. Roth, tenors, Emil Conrad, Geo. Limb; solo altos, T.S. Wiggins, C.G. Grant, Warren Keister; snare drum, Robert Ellsperman; bass drum and cymbals, Clem Franks.

For University Benefit.
“An Evening With the Muses” at City Opera House.
The Wooster Citizens Committee of Fifteen, appointed to raise means to rebuild the University, on last Tuesday evening gave an entertainment at City Opera House, which was very largely attended, to an overflowing assemblage, to see and hear “An Evening With the Muses,” by home talent. It was a delightful program of music, tableaux, comedietta and drills. The state setting was fine for all the several performances. Applause and encores were frequent, and well deserved. For the creation and managing the tableaux, special credit is due to Mr. James B. Minier, who has no superior. The exercises lasted most interestingly until eleven o’clock.

A Grand Success.
“An Evening With the Muses” Draws a Good House.
Many Add To The Fund.
Beautiful Tableaux—Pretty Comedy—Fine Vocal and Instrumental Music—Splendid Impersonation—Exhibition Drill by Canton Wright—Entertainment Pleased Audience.
The second event in the Citizen’s course for the benefit of the fund for the rebuilding of the University, styled “an Evening with the Muses” took place at the City Opera House Tuesday night and was enjoyed by a large audience. The entertainment, which was conceived and managed by James B. Minier, was a success in every way and pleased all.
The tableaux on which Mr. Minier spent much time and hard work, were simply beautiful and deservedly applauded.
The singing of the Ladies’ Quartette was a charming feature; Carey E. McAfee in his piano solo and the duet with Ralph Plumer won deserved plaudits; Prof. George F. Schwartz, whose skill with the violin is so well known, came in for his usual measure of approval and was forced to respond to an encore; Mrs. Charles Bevard was in good voice and gave her selection in such a way as to be very heartily applauded, and in response gave a very pretty ballad; Miss Mary Travelli Glenn in her piano solo easily sustained her reputation as Wooster’ first pianiste; Miss Eleanor Blocher in her impersonation met with a fine reception and most deservedly, as she is a finished artiste in this line; Miss Frances A. Glenn gave a plantation medley in a way that took the audience by storm; “Alice in wonderland” the comedietta by the young ladies from Hoover Cottage, was the novelty number on the programme, and was presented very cleverly, the stage setting was pretty and appropriate while those taking the speaking parts did especially well, indeed those who only took part in the march, which was prettily executed, came in for about as much applause as the others. Miss Freshwater distinguished herself by singing a comic song as well as a pro… drill by a squad from Canton Wright Patriarchs Militant, under command of Capt. Alcock came in for a round of well deserved applause. The Alcock Mandolin Club furnished music for Militant drill. The Bricker Club during the intermissions. We give the program and names of those taking part:

Mrs. Flossie Keister.
That death loves a shining mark was exemplified by the passing away of Mrs. Flossie Keister, wife of Arthur Keister and daughter of Steve E. Smith and wife, who died in Wooster last Saturday afternoon, September 17, after a few weeks’ illness with lung disease. She was born in Applecreek, and was in the 22nd year of her age. Less than a year ago she became the wife of Arthur Keister on October 17, 1903. Many friends are mournfully sad by the untimely departure of one much beloved for her bright and pleasant ways. Deep sympathy is given to husband, parents and relatives. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at the home on South Bever street, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. DuBois, pastor of the Methodist Church. The singing was by Miss Cora Hoelzel and Mr. J.B. Minier; Dr. W.G. Whitmore and Bernard McCarron. The tribute of flowers were many and beautiful. The pallbearers were Will Smith, Harry Young and Carey Grossenbach, Arch Dice, Will Gray, Geo. Limb.

Killed:
Heinie Diehl Fatally Hit By a Ball in a Game at Wooster Last Saturday Afternoon.
A very sad accident occurred in Wooster last Saturday afternoon, resulting in the death of Heinie Diehl, a young man aged about twenty years.
A game of base ball was being played at the Fair Grounds between the Coach Pad Works team and that of Tom Brown, both amateur teams of experienced players. The game was progressing finely in the presence of a large number of friends of both sides, and all was pleasure.
Heinie was at the bat, and Bert Thorne, who was pitching, threw the ball as usual, and Heinie, in attempt to avoid the ball, dodged and stepped forward over the plate, when the ball struck him at the back of his right ear.
He dropped the bat and ran to first base, but in a moment called for another to take his position which was done, and he walked to the grandstand and sat down, rubbing his head. But it was soon seen by his manner that he was weak and hurt. A glass of water was given him, but he grew worse, half unconscious, and was promptly taken in a buggy to the city, to the office of Dr. J.J. Kinney for treatment, where he died in a few minutes, shortly before four o’clock, in less than an hour after the ball hit him, death caused by concussion which had bursted a blood vessel in his brain. No one is in the least to blame for his death, as it was simply an accident that could not be averted.
He was a son of the late Philip Diehl, and an intelligent and worthy young man, much liked by a large circle of acquaintances. He graduated at the Wooster High School in the class of 1902, and a member of the Christ Evangelical church. He is survived by his mother, a widow, Mrs. Adam Buchbeit, three sisters and two brothers, to whom much sympathy is given for their bereavement.
The funeral services were held yesterday, Tuesday afternoon, from the German church on West Henry street, conducted by Rev. F.H. Graeper. The attendance was large.

Memorial Day Fitly Observed.
Living Soldiers Honor Memories of Their Dead Brethren—Events Successful.
Wooster was decorated with flags and bunting Wednesday i honor of the dead and the living soldiers. Owing to the rainy weather the events were not nearly as well attended as would otherwise have been the case.
The exercises opened at the Opera House where Post Commander Thomas Everly called the gathering to order. The speeches as programmed in these columns followed. The address by Lieutenant Mahlon Rouch was a patriotic and exhilerating portray of the results of bravery of American soldiers.
At the cemeteries the graves of the soldier dead there were decked with flowers. The day was successful.
During the afternoon the sun came out and smiled on the memorial services. After the graves had been decorated all the organizations assembled at the cenotaph where the ritual services were held.
The following were the committees:
Committee of General arrangements: R.J. Smith, Chairman; Enos Pierson, Secretary; Dr. T.A. Elder, Treasurer; J.B. Taylor, S.J. Blake, Wm. Hummer, Russel Kinion.
Program—J.R. McKinney, Major F.C. Gerlach, Lemuel Jeffries.
Music—Enos Pierson, Geo. D. Dunham, Thos. Brown.
Decoration—William Hummer, W. Woolman, Otto Barden, Lyman Critchfield, Jr. S. Rickabaugh, J.H. Blessing.
Flags—S.J. Blake, A.M. Trunk, H.L. McClarran.
Transportation—J.B. Taylor, A. Branstetter, W.E. Barnard.

Flowers—Woman’s Relief Corps, Kieffer Circle, L. of G.A.R. and Daughters of Veterans.
Auditing—Thos. Everly, George Limb, I.H. Myers.

The decorations at the City Opera house were beautiful. Streamers, flags and flowering plants were used to make the stage a worthy setting for the sentiments that were expressed by the speakers and echoed by the large audience.
Lieut. Rouch asked eloquently for a continuance of the memorial custom and touchingly mentioned that younger hands and hearts must soon take up the work of keeping the soldiers’ graves green and fresh.
The interest manifested in the events of Wednesday are a strong guarantee that the enthusiasm and love of country possessed by young America will not allow, in Wooster at least, a cessation of the interest is Memorial day.

Miss Helen Brandt and Mrs. Harry Billiard entertained the Mystic Twelve Tuesday evening at the home of the former on East North street. A pleasant surprise awaited one of the members, Miss Laura Sunday, who soon become the bride of George Limb. Some time ago each lady was requested to make a fancy towel with their initial embroidered on them. Tuesday evening these towels were presented to Miss Sunday who received them with great surprise. Contests were in order and a valentine shower in the form of a mail box was also very interesting. Miss Belle Wilhelm presented the bride-to-be with a pretty picture in behalf of the club. The hostesses served an elaborate lunch and the entire evening was an exceedingly happy one for the guests.

They were wedded at the Methodist parsonage at 6:30 by Rev. J.W. Dowds and took the next car for Elyria where they will spend several days before going to Cleveland and up the lakes. Miss Sundy wore a tan traveling suit which became her well. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sundy of Madison Ave. For the past few years she had been employed at the Experiment Station as bookkeeper in which capacity she was very proficient. She has also served as bookkeeper at other business concerns in the city and always with the same kindly and cheerful ways. She is a young lady endowed with those graces which make her not only a favorite but also a friend among her associates. Mr. Limb bears a clean reputation, diligent in business and manly in principles. He is First Lieutenant of Co. D, and was in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He is shipping clerk at the firm of Smith & Schott. He has a home in readiness to take the lady of his choice and in a few weeks they will be at home on East North St. in the Robinson property.

Lieut. Redick holds the distinction of never having missed a muster during the sixteen years that he has been a member of Company D.
Capt. Limb said this afternoon that affairs are moving fast in military circles and that Company D may possibly be on the way to the border in a few days. The boys are about equipped now. Drilling is the order of the morning and afternoon.

Unreadable Headline About a Study of Twins
It might be interesting to others to watch and study twins and their variations but nothing can compare with the fun that twins themselves have when they “look alike.” Daniel Funk, local attorney, tells of some of his experiences with twin sisters. One time Mr. Funk was asked to take Miss R. to a social gathering. When he called at the house a young lady admitted him. She left Mr. Funk with her brother in the parlor while she went to get her wraps. She returned to the parlor in company with her sister—dressed exactly alike. Mr. Funk was not only face to face with twin sisters but an embarrassing situation as well. He didn’t know which one he was to escort to the party, but he took the one nearest to him and went to the party just the same. All during the evening Mr. Funk was the target for many jokes. On the return to the twins’ home, he determined to find out whether he had the right or wrong girl. He accomplished this by referring to the same things he talked about when he first entered the girl’s home. He had the wrong girl for she didn’t know what he was talking about.
At another time Mr. Funk asked one of these same twins to go to the opera house with him. The one he asked had seen the play so she told her twin sister to go with Mr. Funk. Mr. Funk piloted his friend to the play entirely unconscious of any duplicity. Nevertheless, when he found it out, he was just as amused as the twins were.

Some Are Alike,
Others Different
This leading up to the subject of this article—Some of Wooster’s twins. Below will be found a brief account of the similarities and differences between a number of twins.

The Diehl Sisters
Though one of these twins is married and the other single the resemblance remains as confusing as when they were in the same home. Miss Anna Diehl is employed in the People’s Savings and Loan office; her sister, Emma, is the wife of W.G. Schott. They are the daughters of Mrs. Lena Diehl of East Liberty street. Miss Diehl states that their tastes are alike, they like the same people, their teeth are formed alike and they wear the same size shoes and gloves. This great likeness has been apparent since their babyhood.
An Orrville man tells of an unusual experience with the Diehl twins. While one was employed at the court house some years ago, the other worked at the then Plank & Gray mill, East Liberty street. The Orrville man quite frequently accosted both of them, but he didn’t know there were two. He learned to know Miss Diehl at the court house. He complained to a friend one day about “her” conduct.
“When I meet her at the court house she is always pleasant and friendly,” he said, “but when I meet her down here on East Liberty street she walks past without even looking at me.”

The Fouch Brothers
Thurman Fouch and Sherman Fouch are twins, but their resemblance is not as marked as in many other cases. Thurman is a farmer living near Wooster. He weights more than Sherman who is a rubber worker in Akron. Sherman is taller and more slender than his brother though both are tall. Thurman is darker featured than Sherman.

The Annat Sisters
During their girlhood days, the resemblance between Clarissa and Adelia Annat was very noticeable but since they married and are away from each other, the likeness has diminished. Clarissa is now Mrs. Walter Tyler of this city and Adelia is Mrs. Edward Shupe of Cleveland. Mrs. Annat states that their tastes were very similar when they were young girls. One is wholly right handed while the other is able to use her left hand as readily as the other hand.

The Carl Twins
Paul and Pauline, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.G. Carl, East North street, are as unlike in every way as strangers. The children are two years and five months of age. Paul is quick tempered and gets over his “tantrum” in a hurry. Pauline is slower to wrath and is more sincere. Paul is light haired fat little boy, while Pauline is dark-eyed and slender. The Carl twins get along nicely together in playing, despite their different natures.

The Thompson Sisters
Here are twin sisters who have little in common, except in the matter of style in clothes. The Thompson twins are 18 years of age. Miss Irene is employed in the main office of the Buckeye Aluminum Co. She is more slender than her sister and weighs less. She has light hair and sings alto. Miss Ruth Thompson is Titian haired which explains why there is always a bit of wrestling match when the subject of color comes up. Irene can wear red, but Ruth’s hair protests against that hue. Ruth sings soprano and is attending college. The sisters are the same height and are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Thompson.

The Limb Twins
While there is still a resemblance between Miss Florence Limb and her twin brother, George S. Limb, in their school days, the likeness was greater. Their tastes were identical and in school both scored high grades in arithmetic. For 18 years Miss Limb has been one of the main assistants in the county treasurer’s office so it is easy to see that her school record is used to good advantage now. Mr. Limb is city letter carrier. Miss Limb’s predecessor in the county treasurer’s office was Miss Emma Diehl, who is also a twin, and who is mentioned elsewhere in this article. An incident that is both peculiar and significant is told by Miss Limb: “When my brother George reached Montauk Point from Cuba in 1898, he was overcome by an attack of typhoid malaria. I took sick with the same malady the same day he did. The day he reached home I told my folks that he would be at home that day, though no one had informed me of his coming.”

The Gray Sisters
Phyllis and Doris Gray, five years old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gray, are another pair of twins that are unlike. Phyllis is lighter haired and her blue eyes are darker than her sistner’s. Phyllis is not easily excited, but when she gets angry she pouts around a while. Doris is quick spirited, but soon forgets the flash of temper. Doris has always been a half-inch shorter than Phyllis, but they weigh the same.

The Smith Brothers
Russell and Roger, twin sons of Dr. and Mrs. Alonzo Smith, are so ….unreadable at top of next column…The little four years old lads cling together like leeches. When one asks his mamma for bread or cookies, he always asks for his brother, too.

The Goodheart Sisters
Estella Mae and Luella Fay are twin sisters of Mr. and Mrs. U.S. Goodheart of North Market street. The resemblance between them is great. They are freshmen in Wooster college. These young ladies who are eighteen years of age, have great fun in fooling their friends. More than once Estella has recited her lesson to the teacher when the teacher thought she was listening to Luella. Their intelligence is evidently similar for the general averages in grades does not vary more than one per cent. There is but one half inch difference in their height and two pounds difference in their weight. One remarkable feature about the twins is their ability to use mental telepathy. If one can’t recall a name or object, the other can tell instantly what it is.

The Delmont Twins
Paul and Pauling are the 14 year old son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Delmont. This brother and sister do not act nor look alike. The fact that both have had typhoid fever and their collar bones broken may or may not be attributed to them being twins. Mrs. Delmont says that if one gets sick the other may not get sick immediately afterward, but sooner or later a similar sickness overtakes the other one. Paul is left handed. As in the case of other twins, they champion each other’s cause and will fight hard for one another.

The Scott Sisters
Out on East North street and next door to the E.G. Carl twins, live Miss Ruth and Miss Roxy Scott, 18 years old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scott. Since their birth their weight has not varied more than one pound. Both young ladies have dark eyes and dark hair. They are built so nearly alike that Mrs. Scott puzzled to know which is which if they are a distance away from her. One must know them quite well to be able to tell one from the other.

The Myers Twins
Waco and Mosco Myers are the twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Myers and are 14 years of age. Waco is dark haired and has dark blue eyes. She weighs more than Mosco. Mrs. Myers in describing her twin daughters says, “Waco is calm and ?? while Mosco is very spirited. Waco is domestic while Mosco does not care a bit about that kind of work. The girls do not resemble each other and are really different in every way. Waco has light brown hair and light blue eyes.”

Gabriel Twins
Florence Mae and Frances Fay, 14 year old daughters of Mrs. Hannah C. Gabriel of East Bowman street, are so nearly alike that when one had an operation for appendicitis, the other followed “suite” not long afterward. Both have had their tonsils removed and in their actions, thoughts and appearance they are very much alike. Their height and weight have varied but little since birth. Mrs. Gabriel describes their likeness in these terms. “The girls are more loyal to each other than they are to me. It is only lately that they will wear clothes that are not absolutely alike in every way.”

There are many other twins in the community, among them being Dorothy and Archie Kramer, Ed and Lewis Scobey, Paul and Pauline Humbert, Robert and Raymond Dix.

‘Twas Twenty-Four Years Ago Today That The ‘Old Eighth’ Was Mustered Out Here
Twenty-four years ago today, November 21, 1898, the Eighth Ohio, or “McKinley’s Own,” was officially mustered out of service in Wooster, following the conflict with Cuba. Few, if any soldiers, ever forget such dates as these. Col. F.C. Gerlach, who came into the Daily Record office yesterday on business, incidentally mentioned the 24th anniversary of the event. A Record reporter knew from past experience where to find data concerning this memorable occasion, and hurriedly dispatched a messenger boy to the home of Mrs. Wm. E. Barnard on Nold avenue, who undoubtedly has the most complete record of Spanish-American war clippings of any person in the county.
The mustering out took place on Monday, this being preceded the day before by a final dress parade and final assembling of the regiment. It was estimated that 5,000 people thronged the square to witness the ceremonies on Sunday.
For 10 days or more preceding the mustering out, Wooster kept open house for the hundreds of soldiers who assembled here. Instead of khaki colored uniforms, the dark blue figures paraded the streets night and day.
Mustering out day meant that the soldiers were paid off in full. The amount required that day to pay the officers and men of the 8th regiment equalled $149,700. The boys wanted to buy presents for the home folks so the Wooster Merchants were kind enough to permit the soldiers to run a charge account until pay day.
One sentence, taken from the Daily “Republican” published the day after the mustering out, reads thus:
“The good will which the men bear toward Capt. Gerlach, Lieutenants Barnard and Unger and Sergeant Geo. Limb was made manifest when they lined up for the last time on Monday morning when hearty cheers were given for them.”

NOTE: Miss Jane Limb (1913-1965) is the daughter of George S. and Laura Belle, and would have been 9 years old at the time of this article.

Gives Supper-Bridge
Mrs. Brooks S. Mansfield of Annapolis entertained the members of the N. and G. club and several invited guests at a most charmingly appointed supper-bridge in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.W. Wile, Nold Avenue, on Monday evening. A unique idea was employed in the table and house decorations where the blue and gold of the navy composed the color scheme and painted sailor boys added to the decorations and contributed to the effect by indicating the places at the table. Bachelor’s buttons, daisies, delphinium and baby’s breath were the flowers in use in the decorations. Several tables of bridge were in play after the supper, the first prize being awarded to Mrs. Glenn Stauffer and the second to Mrs. George Limb. Mrs. John Russell, Jr. of Hollywood, Calif., was an out of town guest.

Extend Mail Service Into Bloomington
Application Goes Through In Short Time
Further Extension Cannot Come Until New Sidewalks Are Constructed
The first extension of city mail carrier service into Bloomington will become effective on November 15th, Postmaster H.L. McClarran announced today.
The extension will only effect ten residences, those on Wayne avenue, east of Beall avenue, but the step marks the beginning of what will later develop into further service in the Bloomington area. Geo. Limb is the carrier who will serve the additional residences.
The application for service in other parts of Bloomington is to be delayed until sidewalk construction is completed, as applications will receive no consideration otherwise.
The present application went in to the department just three weeks ago, the postmaster said.

Add Another Clerk
Postmaster McClarran has also received word that the department approved his application to add an extra clerk in the post office and a substitute for four hours daily. This will help take care of the heavy Christmas time mail. John Jameson has been named clerk, being promoted from the position of substitute. Alex Jacot takes the substitute’s position.
The lobby of the post office is now being kept open until 9 p.m. regularly and all mail dropped in prior to 8:30 goes out the same night.

Collection Of Taxes Brings In 2 Millions
The June tax collection, which was ended on July 20th produced total revenue in Wayne county of $994,093.13, Treasurer Florence C. Limb announced today. Last December a collection was $1,121,192.48 making a total for the year of $2,115,285.61. This is the largest tax collection ever made in Wayne county in any one year.
“The taxes are just about all paid, too,” Miss Limb said today, the records having been thoroughly checked.
Miss Limb and her assistants, G.C. Fritz, Ada Bell, Laura Limb and Emma Schott, have reason to feel quite chesty over their work in making the collections. Upwards of half a million dollars was handled in the last ten days of the period, and when the books were checked with the records of the auditor, they came out, practically to the penny.
In making the collection, the treasurer and her assistants issued approximately 50,000 receipts, making that many different transactions which were necessary to complete the work.

Best Exterior Lighting Displays Are Selected By Special Committee
The Prize Winners First — Mrs. J.S.R. Overheat, 1012 Beall avenue.
Second — Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Sidle, 223 North Grant street.
Third — Mr. and Mrs. F.K. Shibley 1179 Forest Drive.
Fourth — Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Foss, 1011 North Grant street.

The above result was announced today by the special committee of judges which made a detailed study of exterior illuminating effects at Wooster homes, planned for the holiday season
More than half a hundred home owners illuminated their places of abode and lawns as the new feature of holiday observance spread thru the city. The contest for exterior lighting was sponsored by the Wooster Daily Record, and prize money was contributed from several sources.
The first prize is $15, second prize $7.50, third price $5 and fourth prize $2.50. Checks for the sums will be mailed to the winners in a few days.

Well in Agreement
The committee of judges composed of Mayor E.K. Geiselman, chairman; F.E. Boigegrain, Guy Richard, Prof. N.O. Rowe and Mrs. D.C. Kennard, was pretty well in agreement as to who should be the prize winners, although as the ? ballot ?? [bottom line of column unreadable]
Following their trip around the city in which they viewed the special effects produced by all of the contestants the judges held a session at the mayor’s office. Prior to last night each judge, on his own account, had studied the general layout of lighting effects. The displays were discussed at some length and then a vote was taken. There was then further discussion at which special merits of some of the leading displays were brought out and in a short time there was general agreement in the committee as to the division of prize money.

The Prize Winners
The general artistic effect of the Overholt display caused it to win first prize. Members of the committee were struck with the effect of the flood lights playing upon the evergreen trees, and the sheer beauty of the blue star that surmounted the whole display. The display also has a groundwork of lights to indicate a planting of crocuses.
The Sidle display won second place largely because of the artistic effect and originality of the upper portion of the general layout.
General uniformity and artistic effect was the basic claim of the Shibley display and also of the Foss display.

Some Unique Features
Members of the committee pointed out today that among the most novel displays they viewed was that of George Heisler, in the Heisler ???? avenue. Because ?? [bottom line of column unreadable]
with a home, the committee did not consider it in the contest, but pointed it out as one of the most elaborate and original in the city. The display consists of the illumination of a large evergreen tree, which lights up almost the whole park.
The illumination of the entrance of the Curt Hudson home, at the intersection of Pearl street and Scovel avenue, made a decided impression upon the judges as an example of what can be done with the use of only a few lights. This one came very close to being awarded a prize.
The Dominic Noletti home on East Bowman street was another which received consideration by the judges, the only display entered by an Italian American resident of Wooster.

Honorable Mention
Among the displays given honorable mention by the judges were those at the A.L. Fabans home on Henrietta street, at the R.L. Bethke home on Henrietta street, at the Jane Limb home, 850 North Grant street, at the Ben Alcock home, 351 Beall avenue, at the Dr. L.A. Yocum home, 116 East Bowman street, at Charlotte Ims, 447 Beall avenue and at the Mrs. William Annat home, 558 North Market street.
The general impression of persons who have been admiring the displays during the last week is that the judges made a very excellent selection of prize winners.

Many Lights Are Twinkling
Wooster Homes Diffuse Christmas Spirit Through Minimum of Illumination.
Outside lights are twinkling from a background of evergreens and snow at many Wooster homes this week diffusing a Christmas spirit to all who gaze upon them.
Probably the most elaborate glittering effects in the city are those at Wooster College and at the Heisler park. In both of these places large evergreen trees have been covered with colored lights, which are visible from a considerable distance. The Heisler tree has a greater number of lights and is larger than the college tree. The college tree was cut in a nearby forest, but the Heisler tree stands on its original stump and is to be illuminated from year to year.
The Bethke and Fabens homes on Henrietta street, the Limb home on North Grant, the Overholt and Secrest homes on Beall avenue, the Tyler home on North Market, the Haerle home on Blessing avenue and the Dr. Paul home on North Bever street are some of the many that are brilliantly and tastefully illuminated.
At many other homes the small potted Christmas trees, window wreaths and strings of lights around doorways or windows produce remarkably pretty effects.

Committee To View Lights Friday Night
Mayor Clyde M. Miller announced today that his committee, charged with the task of judging the illuminated home exteriors in the Christmas time lighting contest, will make its tour of inspection Friday evening. The members will meet at the People’s Savings and Loan Company at 7:30.
The committee will divide $35 in prize money, furnished through the Record and by the Radioelectric Co., and the Shamp Electric Co., among the owners of those homes it decides are the most tastefully illuminated.
Homes entered in the contest are those of H.M. Doyle, Cleveland Rd.; F.E. Schultz, North Grant; Ben Alcock, Jr., Beall Avenue; Curt Hudson, 220 Pearl street; Raymond Sidle, N. Grant street; W.R. Foss, North Grant street; Frances Yocum, 116 East Bowman street; Domenico Noletti, 1109 East Bowman; Andres L. Aabens, henrietta st; Dr. R.C. Paul, North Bever; Mrs. W.D. Tyler, North Market; Masonic Temple, North Market; Roland K. Bethke, Henrietta; Fred Shibley, Forest Drive; Jane Limb, North Grant st.

Shibley Home Placed First By Committee
Bethke, Schultz And Limb Decorations Win Other Prizes in Order.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred K. Shibley, 1179 Forest drive, won the first prize for having the most attractive outside Christmas decorations, according to the report submitted by the judging committee today.
The other prizes go to the following homes.
Second, Mr. and Mrs. R.N. Bethke, 256 West Henrietta street.
Third, Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Schultz, 918 North Grant street.
Fourth, Mr. and Mrs. George Limb, 850 North Grant street.
$12.50 goes to the winner, $10 to second place, $7.50 to third place, and $5 to fourth place.
The judging committee consisted of Mayor Clyde Miller, Mrs. David Taggart, Dr. H.C. Young, Clarence L. Landis and John Ferguson.
Originality of the decorations and the Architecture of the homes were elements upon which the judges based their decisions.
“There were so many beautiful homes,” said Mayor Miller, “that the committee deliberated a long time before choosing the four most attractive.”
The Masonic Temple was beautifully decorated, but, since it is not a home, it could not be given a prize.
George Heisler’s tree in Hills park illuminated with more than a hundred lights, received much favorable comment.
There were many other such decorations in the city, which the people decorated more out of the goodness of their hearts than anything else.

Would Divide City
The committee suggested that the city be divided into four parts for the contest next year, thus giving each home owner, no matter in what part of the city he lives, an incentive to decorate his home. Since Market and Liberty streets very precisely divide the city into four parts, the committee suggested that these streets be used to divide the city.

Sign Up Now For Contest
Christmas Lighting Prizes to Be Awarded North And South of Bowman.
The Christmas lighting contest, one that made the residential section of Wooster the most alluring of any last year, is now in progress. Tonight, if you will glance through the paper, you will see the coupon which you must sign and mail to the Record office if you wish to enter the contest.
The prizes, which last year were awarded to Fred Shibley, R.N. Bethke, F.E. Schulz and George Limb, will be awarded on a slightly different basis this year. To avoid any discrepancy which might arise in selecting the winners, it has been generally agreed that the city will be divided into two parts this year, the dividing line coming at Bowman street. All houses north of Bowman will compete, while all those on Bowman and south will compete with each other.
In the past contests some have hesitated to compete against the more elaborate north end homes. In future years it may become necessary to divide the city into more than two districts, but for the present the division at Bowman will suffice.
Two sets of prizes of the same amounts will be given. Last year some of the electrical shops in town offered to help in the contest. Nothing has been said to them as yet, but they will likely want to help out again.

North Grant St. Homes Win
Limb, Schultz, Grossenbaugh And Sidle Displays Take Light Prizes.
North Grant street citizens “mopped up” on the home illumination prizes offered through the Daily Record, which were judged last night by a committee headed by Mayor J.W. Ebert.
The committee selected the George Limb home as first prize winner north of Bowman street and the decoration entered by Billy Schultz as winner of second prize.
South of Bowman street, first prize was awarded to the C.W. Grossenbaugh home, and second prize to the Raymond Sidle home.
All four of the prize winners are on Grant street.
The judges, in addition to the Mayor, were A.L. Fabens, Mrs. David Taggart, Dr. Delbert G. Lean and Karl Overholt. The judges included in their judging only such homes as had been entered in the competition, which did not include several elaborate displays at homes where prizes had previously been awarded.
The competition was exceptionally close, and the judges had quite a time arriving at their verdict. All displays entered received consideration and number of those not awarded prizes were plced first by one or more of the judges on the first ballot.
The committee commented upon the beauty of the Heisler illuminated tree, which has 122 lights on it, and upon several other projects which were not entered in the competition.
Checks for the prizes will be mailed to the winners within a day or two. First prize in each case is $7.50 and second prize $5.

Dog Tales 
By Poody Switzer
The dog that follows the mailman is proverbial and Chip, who follows his master, George Limb, each day as he delivers the mail on Beall avenue, has earned the name of a wise dog.
Chip is a four year old collie dog and every day he is seen tagging along behind the mailman, or hunting him.
Chip never gets to go down to the postoffice with his master early in the morning because Mrs. Limb does not leave him out of the house until her daughter goes to school. But when Chip does get out, away he goes in search of his master.
It doesn’t take Chip long to find Mr. Limb because he goes about his task in a rather scientific way. He trail him. Many people along the mail route have said that they have seen Chip run up to the door steps and sniff at the mail box. He makes sure his master has been there and then goes on to the next one. Finally he catches up with him and gets to sty on the job the rest of the day.
Chip is known to a lot of school children as well as the people on the mail route and everyone says he’s a dandy, friendly dog.

Select Prize Winners For Home Lighting
Schultz, Johnston, Limb and Klise Displays Ranked in Order By Judges.
Surprised at the genuine beauty and profusion of outside home illumination, particularly in the Wooster Country Club area, the committee headed by Mayor W. Ebert and composed of representatives of local service clubs and the federation of women’s clubs, last night studied the eighteen entries in the contest for prizes and made the awards as follows:
First prize, $10, Bill Schultz, N. Grant street.
Second prize, $5, Brooks Johnston, Burbank road.
Third prize, Geo. S. Limb, North Grant street.
Fourth prize $2, Leo J. Klise, Henrietta street.
Several other displays figured prominently in the voting of the judges before a final selection was made, and a number were eliminated with genuine regret because the judges realized their many good points and general adaption to their surroundings.
The outside illumination project is distinctly a community affair, prize money coming from a number of sources. On behalf of these anonymous givers and for itself, the Record desires to express its sincere thanks to Mayor Ebert, Mrs. R.M. Salter, Dr. J.W. Creighton, Wayne Hart and Dr. R.A. Brooks for their time and effort in viewing the various exhibits and selecting the winners.
The committee met at the office of the mayor at 7:30 p.m. and with Wayne Hart as official chauffeur, visited every exhibit which had been entered. They did their scoring as they went along, and then returned to the mayor’s office where considerable time was required before final selections were unanimously agreed upon.
“Not only was every entry worthy of consideration,” said Mayor Ebert today, “but there are many displays not entered which are just as good as the average of those in the contest. It is certainly a beautiful sight to drive through the north end of Wooster these evenings to enjoy these really marvelous displays.”

Wilhelm Display Wins First Place
Johnston Is Second, Foss Place Third
Christmas Lighting Committee Gives Six Others Honorable Mention.
The very beautiful display of outside Christmas season illumination at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis C. Wilhelm, 846 North Grant Street, won first place in Wooster’s annual Christmas lighting contest, which was judged last night by a specially appointed committee of five.
The award of first prize carries with it a cash award of $15.
Second prize of $10 was awarded to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Johnston, Burbank Road, another outstanding and elaborate display.
Third prize went to mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Foss, 1011 North Grant street.
In casting ballots last night at the mayor’s office after the committee braved the cold night and toured the city to examine the various displays, more than a dozen homes received votes. A few were quickly eliminated, but several displays were very close runners-up to the prize winners.
In fact, the committee, in announcing its findings, gave an honorable award rating to the following homes.
J.J. Klise, Henrietta Street; Ceylon Hudson, Forest Drive; Frank Hagrle, Blessing Avenue; George Limb, North Grant Street; R.M. Bethke, Henrietta Street; and Fred Shibley, Forest Drive.
Members of the committee were: Mayor J.W. Ebert, chairman; Mrs. Sara O. Salter, president Federation of Woman’s Clubs; J.P. Grassbaugh, representing Kiwanis; Harland H. Mosher, representing Lions; and C.L. Landes, representing Rotary.
Members of the committee and many other observers are of the opinion that this year’s display is the finest the city has ever had. Most of the displays that have been beautiful in past years were even more gorgeous this year through the addition of some new equipment. There was also a disposition on the part of more people to use outside illumination, some of a very modest scale, others in more elaborate displays.
The illumination contest was inaugurated a number of years ago by the Daily Record, and has been continued as an annual feature that adds much color to the Christmas season. Prize money has been provided from various sources each year. The mayor, the Federated Women’s Club and service clubs have co-operated splendidly, and judges selected each year, their decisions meeting with general satisfaction. The Record takes this opportunity to thank the committee for last night’s work.

Young’s Orchestra As It Appeared Thirty Years Ago
[photo that is pretty dark]
Rear row, left to right — Horace Barrett, George Limb, Frank Lowry, Theodore Muschenich, Harry Sweeney.
Front row — William Hess, Harry Young, William Smith, Warren Keister.
Here is a picture that brings back memories. It shows the original members of Young’s orchestra, which flourished for many years in Wooster and played at a great many of the outstanding social gatherings of the era.
The orchestra was organized about 30 years ago and later on became affiliated with I.O.O.F. lodge and played at a great many of the outstanding social gatherings of the era.
The orchestra played for many public affairs, such as banquets, socials, dances, musical comedy productions at the opera house, and many times at commencement exercises in Wooster as well as in Millersburg, Fredericksburg, Jeromesville, Lodi, Seville, Creston and Smithville. Trips to outlying towns were often made in a covered wagon furnished by Al Luce.
The dance floor on the third floor of the West Liberty street which for so many years was known as Miller’s Hall was laid upon the strength of the popularity of Young’s orchestra. For years it was generally conceded to be the finest dance floor in this community.
The group of men shown above played for many years without a piano as a part of the orchestra but in later years this instrument was added and Mrs. Frank Haerle was the accompanist. The orchestra continued until the advent of jazz music. In later years the membership included Jacob Graber, clarinet player; Harry Robison, the noted cornet soloist; Scott Mackey on the trombone; the late Elmore Sturgis, baritone; and others.

Today marked an important anniversary in Wooster’s military history, for just 40 years ago, April 26th, 1898, Company D, Eighth Regiment, O.N.G., left Akron to go into service in the Spanish American war.
The company, commanded by Capt. F.C. Gerlach, who later served in the World war as colonel of his regiment, joined the other companies of the Old Eighth at Akron and proceeded to Camp Bushnell, Columbus, where it was mustered into the federal service.
On May 18th the regiment entrained for Washington, D.C., and on July 6th sailed for Cuba on the transport St. Paul, commanded by Capt. Sigsbee; arrived off Morro Castle and disembarked at Siboney on July 10th. As the regiment arrived, the terms of Spanish surrender were being arranged.
While the regiment was not in battle, it suffered the hardships of the rainy season, hot climate and yellow fever. Men died in Cuba, in the detention hospital, in New York and upon arrival home as a result of this exposure. The members of Company D returned in detachments as their health would permit.
The regiment was mustered out in Wooster on November 21, 1898.
In addition to those shown in the accompanying picture, others going from Wooster were Fred S. McKinney and Zaddock F. Atwell, hospital stewards.
Col. Hard, who was in command of the regiment during the war, returned to civilian life in Wooster at its close, and for many years operated the Wooster Electric Co., one of the pioneer electric power companies in this part of the state, and forerunner of the present Central Ohio Light & Power Co., here.
Col. Hard’s son, Dudley J. Hard, of Cleveland has carried on the family’s military tradition. He first enlisted in Wooster, and later transferred to Troop A Cavalry in Cleveland. In the Spanish-American war he was a lieutenant with Company I, Eighth regiment. He was commissioned a colonel in 1917 and commanded the 135th regiment overseas and until its muster out in 1919. He continued active in military circles and rose to command the 37th Division with the rank of major general.
Company H of Shreve, commanded by Capt. A.H. Critchfield, now General Critchfield, and Lieutenants S.M. Swartz and M.S. Robinson, was another Wayne county unit in the regiment.
The first call for volunteers reached Wooster in April 20th, and orders were issued to recruit militia companies to the full strength of 75 men. A riot call, ten taps of the fire bell, filled the streets with people, for the excitement of war was in the air. Nineteen recruits were added the first night. Numerous men in north-western Wayne county enlisted in Company C at Polk, and others in the vicinity of Rittman and Doylestown in companies at Wadsworth and Akron.
While the Wayne county soldiers were at Camp Alger, impressive Memorial Day services were held in Wooster, with Mahlon Rouch as chairman of the day.
When the muster out came in November, approximately 200 men from Wayne county ended their period of military service. More than a score had died from fever and exposure to unhealthful climate made more deadly because of the scanty and unfit food which they were provided.
The greatest contribution the Spanish-American war gave the nation was this object lesson in the health of its soldiers on duty. During the World war, Wayne county sent some 1,500 men into service, and except for influenza, the death rate was reduced to a minimum never reached in the armies of any nation. The merciless criticism which followed the ravages of disease and the failure of the food supply brought a revolution in army management of these most important services and paved the way for the fine record of World war time.

Red Cross Rollcall Begins, Workers Named In City And County To Procure Members
The annual roll call of the American Red Cross in Wayne county got under way today, although a majority of the solicitors will delay their canvass until Monday.
The Rev. Chas. E. Rath, county roll call chairman, today submitted the following.
Editor Daily Record.
The Red Cross thermometer has again been erected on the square, indicating that the Red Cross roll call is again before the citizens of the city of Wooster and the citizens of Wayne county for their consideration and support. The roll call really begins on Armistice Day, Nov. 11. Last Monday we were working at headquarters trying to get our supplies ready for distribution to the workers on Monday evening. Things were rather disorganized and we were hardly looking for anyone to come in and take out membership. Imagine our surprise then, to see David and John Foss, sons of Mr. and Mrs. C.P. Foss of this city walk into the office and say they wanted to enroll in the Red Cross. Now the truth of the matter is, that these boys are still minors, but they were not going to allow that to interfere with their taking out full membership, so each one paid his dollar and walked out smiling after receiving his button and membership card. That’s the spirit we like to see. That is the kind of spirit that will make this roll call the best ever. These boys might have waited until someone asked them to enroll, but they could not wait that long.
The election is over now, things are settling down to normal again. We can give our attention to the Red Cross. Let us know wait until bad weather sets in to deter us from doing our part.
The roll call is on, we want you to have a place in the roll of these who support cheerfully this splendid organization. Please remember that we keep a card index of all our membership by glancing thru the cards we can tell who are the regular supporters. Some have a clean record ever since the card filing system was established. The members of the various teams will soon be calling at the different homes in the city of Wooster and the towns and homes in the county, make their work easy, send the worker away with a smile on his face because you have enrolled. The names of the various teams in the city, and the solicitors in the county, are given below. Paul Willour is in charge of the city canvass.

Hudson, Mosher And Foss Homes Win Lighting Awards
The outside illumination at the G.A. Hudson home, 1856 Burbank road, was awarded first prize in the annual contest conducted through the Daily Record, and judges last night by a committee of five members of the Wooster Business and Professional Women’s club.
Second prize west to the Harlan Mosher home, 225 West Pine street, and third place to the Walter R. Foss home, 1003 North Grant St.
First prize is $15, second $10, and third prize $5.
The larger use of spotlights to accentuate natural home surroundings was evident this year, and was used effectively in two of the prize winning displays, that at the Hudson and Foss homes.
Honorable mention was given by the committee to the following outstanding displays:
[line at bottom of page not readable] … Road.
Clifford P. Foss, 1295 Quinby Avenue.
Curtis Wilhelm, 846 North Grant.
George Limb, 850 North Grant.
J.C. Fetzer, 610 Northwestern Ave.
Harry Ackerman, 428 South Bever.
Raymond Schad, 733 Spruce.
Members of the committee, in making their report today, announced that it took them a long time to arrive at a decision, because of the many factors involved in the lighting effects, and the closeness of the competition among those receiving honorable mention and those finally selected as prize winners.
This year’s displays, it was generally conceded, were the most beautiful in the history of home ???.

Just a Little About a Midweek Feature — The Wooster Garden Study Club Last Night
The Wooster Garden Study Club and guests of the club heard a most entertaining and instructive lecture and question-answering by Dr. Alex Laurie of Ohio State University. He told of new varieties of flowers that may be successfully grown in this climate, and, incidentally, gave a helpful hint about your next summer’s garden — start it now, indoors, in sand instead of soil. Among other comments made by Dr. Laurie was regarding recent experiments made in the University laboratories with the highly publicized vitamin B-1, which was found to be greatly over-rated in growing plants and flowers.
Since we are not technically perfect on garden subjects we are mentioning these particular highlights of the lecture. Mrs. George Limb entertained at a buffet dessert afterwards, and there was an informal period of garden-chatter. For their next meeting — on Friday, February 2 — the club members are being entertained by Dr. and Mrs. J.H. Gourley at their home on Quinby avenue.

At their attractive country home just north of Wooster, the H.H. Heemans were entertaining the Wooster Garden Club last evening. This was the June guest program, with Mrs. Wilson Flattery, Miss Margaret Kate, Mrs. George Limb and Mrs. Vincent Ward assisting Mrs. Heemans as hostesses.

Dr. C.E. Kendel of Cleveland, former seed dealer and specialist in Iris culture, spoke on irises.
He told of the many species of iris found in the temperate zone, but said that most irises grown are hybrids.
Sketching the care of roots, treatment for infection, and best method of planting, Dr. Kendel illustrated his talk with slides of rare, highly colored irises. About the rooms were arrangements of iris blooms, brought by club members, and there were other flower arrangements throughout the house.

For the buffet refreshments after Dr. Kendel’s lecture, Mrs. M.H. Frank and Mrs. Glenn H. Stringfield were pouring.

First Prize Winner In Christmas Lighting
[photo]
This picture, taken by a Daily Record staff photographer last night, shows the first prize-winning George Limb home, North Grant street. The cross over the doorway is in red lights, while the window lights are blue.
The very simple, yet remarkably beautiful effect which the George Limb family, North Grant street, achieved in outdoor Christmas lighting, won the approbation of the judges, who made their decisions last night and caused it to be given number one ranking.
The front of the house was flood lighted, bringing out the whiteness of the window sash and the green of the evergreen plantings, and thus accentuating the red cross over the doorway and blue lights in the windows.
Second prize went to the Claude Mann home, West University street, only about a block away from the Limb home. This was a well worked out and elaborate display, well balanced.
Third ???? Earl Gray home, on the south side of Elm Drive, (number six), which was another carefully worked out design.
The judges gave serious consideration to five other very fine displays, each of which would have been worthy of a prize in competition less keen, and gave them honorable mention.
These displays are at the homes of Harlan Mosher, West Pine st; Wayne Markley, Forest Drive; J.D. Sayre, Elm Drive; Franklin Sprankle, Woodland Avenue; and Robert Frye, Spruce street.

John Sundy, 84, Is Fatally Injured
First Traffic Victim Here in 20 Months Dies Here 45 Minutes After He is Struck.
John Sundy, aged 84 years, was fatally injured at 7:15 o’clock last night at the intersection of Market and Bowman Streets when he was struck by an automobile driven by Mrs. H. Louis Stettler, Jr., 238 West Henrietta Street.
Witnesses reported that Sundy, who was walking to attend services at the United Presbyterian church, where he was a faithful member, and where he had served for many years as an elder, was carrying an umbrella, and that he apparently did not see the approaching car. A drizzling rain was falling.
Mrs. Stettler, wife of an official at The Akron Brass Manufacturing Company, had taken the maid in the Stettler home to the movie, and was enroute home. Her young son, Louis, Jr., was riding with her. She told police she did not see the pedestrian crossing the street until her car was upon him.

Lived 45 Minutes
The body of the badly injured man was carried the length of the street intersection before the car was brought to a stop. He was taken to Wooster hospital, where death occurred 45 minutes later resulting from injuries to his head and chest. He did not regain consciousness.
It was the first traffic fatality in Wooster since May 26, 1940, more than twenty years ago

Lived Here 55 Years
Mr. Sundy was born in Pennsylvania, January 25th, 1858 and had been a resident of Wooster for 55 years. The family lived for many years at the foot of Madison Hill. Mrs. Sundy died a number of years ago. Mr. Sundy had been residing with his daughter, Mrs. John R. Johnson, 222 Clark Avenue.
Surviving are six daughters, Mrs. George Limb, Mrs. Charles Schollenberger and Mrs. Johnson, all of Wooster; Mrs. L. Lee Hebberd of Warrensville; Mrs. Robert Dunlap of Forty-Fort, Pa.; and Mrs. Kenneth Wylie, of Hopewell, Va.; by one brother, Samuel Sundy, of Perry County, Pa.; and nine grandchildren.
The body was prepared for burial at the McIntire Funeral Home, where services will take place on Monday at 2 p.m.
The pastor, Rev. Elden Bennett, assisted by Rev. F.D. Henderson, will officiate. Burial will be made in Wooster cemetery. Friends may call at the Funeral Home Sunday afternoon or evening.

Y.M. Plans Anniversary Of Basketball Monday Night
“The old game of basketball ain’t what she used to be, many long years ago…” This might be a paraphrase of many an old timer, who grew up with the game around Wooster some 30 odd years ago.
According to Jay Jolliff, Frank Zarlengo and others of that vintage, “there were no autos at that time, no picture shows, and nothing else to do.” So basketball got going almost as a five night energy outlet for the boys of the town. It was played at the old Armory where you could bounce the ball off the walls, and keep on going.
Games would be booked with teams as ambitious as Ohio Wesleyan and Wooster College. And the local boys would take the college fellows in consistently.
When the now famous Old Company D team or the Jolliff Brothers Quintet played Ashland they would set out at 2 p.m. with horse and wagon in order to get there by game time. With lanterns underneath their blankets and a hot bowl of oyster stew underneath their ribs they generally arrived back home by about 4 a.m. Twelve hours for one game. Those were the days.
A YMCA man by the name of James Naismith started this American game off just 50 years ago. Back in 1892 Naismith was looking for an inside game for the winter which would have as much zest as the fall soccer and football season.
He stumbled on to the idea which he placed two peach baskets at the ends of the gymnasium balcony so that the goals had to be made vertically by passing instead of by kicking. From the very first the game struck fire and swept every corner of the country in a very few years sponsored by YMCAs everywhere. It was soon picked up by schools, then later by independent groups and back-yard gangs of kids until now it is second only in interest to football itself.
1942 marks the Golden Jubilee anniversary year of basketball. Naismith is being honored everywhere for his contribution to the field of wholesome sport. As part of their local program the Wooster Community YMCA plan to stage an anniversary demonstration at the finals of their season’s end elimination tournament next Monday evening. The games will be at the local High School gymnasium to which the public is invited.
It is expected that part of the evening’s fun will be a demonstration of how “we used to do it,” in old-time togs, by a bunch of old-timers themselves. Jay Jolliff has agreed to captain the outfit. Coach L.C. Boles will appear as referee.
Among those who still live around Wooster who were “basketball hot shots” in their hey-days are Jay Walter, Bill and Joe Jolliff, George Limb, Harry Alcock, Albert Myers, Frank Zarlengo, John “Tim” Flood, Jay Frick, Wayne Markley and Francis Whitaker.
Basketball secured its local rootage early. And there still seems to be abundant root-age if the Muskingum game of this week is any indication. It is this spirit of clean sport, and the originator of it, that the YMCA wishes to highlight at the Basketball Anniversary night on next Monday evening, March 9.

State Cage Tourney Nears Time For District Clashes
The Community YMCA announces two events of interest to local young men for next week’s program. One is a basketball anniversary celebration and the second a stag banquet. The QYB Council is arranging both affairs.
Monday evening at the High School gymnasium the 50th year of YMCA basketball will be commemorated. Dr. James Naismith, of the Springfield YMCA College, originated the game back in 1892 for his embryonic physical directors.
The public is invited to see two teams of Wooster old-time basketeers stage what they call a “come-back” from their prime of 40 years ago. Jay Jolliff avers that the Jolliff Quintet will be on hand to take all comers.
The opposition is likely to be captained by George Limb of the old Company D outfit with Captain George Barnard acting in capacity of manager. Coach L.C. Boles will see that right is done by each team. McIntire’s will furnish ambulance service.
The real sparkling event of the evening, starting at 7:30 sharp will be the championship game in the QYB League. The Rubco team, which has not lost a local game during the entire playing season, will meet the Fabs, who nosed out the right to perform as runners-up in a Friday night match with the Produx.
The line-up for the Rubco will likely be Captain McClintock, Stanley Beachy, Junior Arnold, Willis Speelman, Charles Reed, Ross Cody and Lester Myers. The Fabs, according to Manager Sam Garee, will likely start George Leppla, Rolland Stentz, Al Bursani, and Bill Turney.
Wednesday evening the second event of the week will take place in the form of a stag banquet at Reining’s restaurant. The four teams in the QYB League will be toasted, the volunteer officials who gave of their time will be thanked, the honors of the season just closing will be passed out and plans will be announced for the continued YMCA activities for young men.
Coach E.M. Hole of Wooster College will appear as the special speaker of the evening. He will speak on the subject “Sports As I See ‘Em.” Dick Welden is arranging special music. Secretary Angel promises some fun surprises.
Tickets are available to any young man at the Y for 65 cents.

Wooster Men Left 44 Years Ago Today For Service In Cuba; Memorial to Them Will be Dedicated Sunday
By Jack Leggett
Just 44 years ago today Wooster’s Company E and Company H from Shreve marched to the B. & O. station where they boarded a train which carried them to camp — and to a war from which the United States emerged a full world power, a war which crumbled the age-old might of monarchistic Spain, a war which showed us weakness which we must never have again.
Now, 44 years after the first Wayne men started off to the Spanish-American War — a time span during which we fought and won a more savage conflict and have entered another which will probably be an even greater contest — a memorial is being erected at City Hall by Buckeye Camp and Buckeye Camp Auxiliary honoring the men who fought in that war.
The ceremony accompanying the dedication of the stone marker tomorrow at 3 p.m. will be short and the Wooster High School Band will be there to furnish the music. After the dedication there will be a social gathering and campfire meeting at Memorial Hall where the public is invited. The various patriotic organizations of the vicinity are especially urged to send representatives.
Officials of Buckeye Camp and Buckeye Camp Auxiliary thank the following persons for helping with the memorial and providing their services without charge.
J.B. Wylie of Chester Township who donated the stone, Harold Fisher of the Fisher Monument Company and Gary Grossenbach and Merton R. Johnson, who did the work on the stone, and County Engineer Metzler and James G. Shamp, Joseph DiScipio, Joseph Massaro, I.A. Andrews, all of whom donated their time in transporting the marker.
The Spanish-American War was not an overly violent one with huge loss of life as compared with the Civil War and World War I, nor did it run into so much money as those wars. Cost of the war between the states was $8,500,000,000. The first World War ran to $50,000,000,000 and the Spanish-American was just $1,800,000,000 [number is difficult to read]. And the nation acquired property valued at $8,000,000,000 as compared with none for the Civil and World Wars.

Learned Valuable Lessons
Possibly the most important things about the Spanish War were the lessons that ? learned. We discovered ? feed and care for an army. We were able to stamp out Yellow Fever. We learned that ?? sanitation and feeding ?? lives than ??. We learned how to establish ?? training camps.
We learned all these ? the Spanish ? learned them at a cost ?? had the above ? before that was the ?? loss of life would have been at most ?? the fever ? proper clothing, bad food, ? cient and poor ?? medical facilities and a host of other conditions to ? home to Americans the truth that the many things supporting and supplying the man with the gun are of equal importance with that soldier.

Philippines Again
We have had occasion to think of the Spanish war more in the past months than we had thought of for years for the Philippines are once more a theater of war and the flag that the American volunteer army raised at Manila at the turn of the century has been torn down and the Rising Sun banner of Japan substituted for the Stars and Stripes. American forces have been driven off the islands as were the Spaniards years back — but the Americans were not driven so easily and there are still grouops of our outnumbered soldiers holding out and beating off the Japanese attacks. The islands famed for Dewey and Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders are not lost yet. And if they do fall they’ll not be out of American hands for any 44 years.
The surviving Wayne County men who fought in the Spanish War were not all members of Companies D and H. Many veterans of other outfits have since moved into the vicinity. The roster of Buckeye Camp includes.
Wooster: Hurd Allerman, William E. Barnard, Albert W. Bersch, F.A. Berry, L.W. Christine, Charles Craft, W.A. Conrad, L.R. Critchfield, W.R. Curry, James Dewar, Arch H. Dice, F.C. Gerlach, Frank G.

Wooster Garden Study Club Meets In Garden At Limb Home . . .
Last evening the Wooster Garden Study Club entertained its members and guests with a novel program in the landscaped garden of Mr. and Mrs. George Limb, N. Grant Street.
During the hour of daylight the group had opportunity to observe the planning of the garden, its varied plantings, the pool and its rose pergola. As darkness fell the group, seated at the east of the garden, listened to Miss Isabel Barry, Educational Director of The Ohio Public Service Co., discuss “Night-Time Beauty In The Garden.” Miss Barry illustrated her lecture with colored slides showing lighting effects in other Ohio gardens and the ways and means by which they were obtained.
At the close of the lecture, after an instant of complete darkness, the lighting system suddenly transformed the garden into a new and exotic scene, emphasizing points of interest, as certain groups of flowers, special trees, and the pool lighted from below the surface. Mrs. Limb served refreshments assisted by Mrs. Scott Harry and Mrs. Glen Stingfield at the punch bowl.
Under Miss Barry’s direction the equipment loaned by the Ohio Public Service Co. was installed and operated by The Central Ohio Light and Power Co., Kenneth Gordon installation engineer, and made possible through the courtesy of Mr. Fert Bates and Mr. Robert Nash, executives of the company.

George Limb, 44, Dies Following an Operation
George Limb, aged 44, a son of the late Major M.R. Limb, former mayor of Wooster, died yesterday in a hospital in New York City, following an operation performed a week ago.
Funeral services will be held at the Walter B. Cook Funeral Home, 117 West 72nd st, New York, on Friday. Burial will be made there.
Mr. Limb, who served as a radio operator in World War one, was with the army of occupation in Germany following that war, and illegible line where he was in the radio business for some years, a pioneer dealer here.
Since leaving Wooster he has continued his special radio work, and for the past few years was in important government service. His operation was brought on, it is believed, because of overwork. Pneumonia which followed, resulted in his death.
Surviving are his wife, Irene Funk Limb, one daughter, Betty, and one brother, Major Fritz Limb, serving somewhere in the South Pacific. He was a nephew of Carl, George and Florence Limb of Wooster.

Major, Who Enlisted at 13, Says Two Wars Are Enough
“After this war I am going to settle down and do a lot of fishing,” was how Maj. Fritz Limb explained his plans for after the war.
“I’m also very grateful that I’ll be too old to be in another war. Two’s enough in one person’s life,” he continued, expressing his opinion of war as a career.
Maj. Limb was the son of Major M.R. Limb, who commanded Company D, 146th Infantry, formerly a Wooster company when he went overseas in World War I.
When thirteen, Fritz ran away from high school and enlisted in the regular army. “Had to lie about my age and tell them I was eighteen to get in,” he recalled. While in the army his rank was plain buck private.
“If there had been any ???, I probably would have had ??,” he remarked.
Fortunate in going overseas along with his father, Pvt. Limb served in France, Germany and Belgium.
“I got out of the army in ? and reenlisted – in the navy,” Maj. Limb said.
After four years in the navy as a radio operator, ?? decided it was about time to go back to school. “I took a course in engineering at Valparaiso University in Indiana and while there was in the officers reserve national guard,” he related.

Called to Duty
In the fall of 1940 all officers of the National Guard were called to active duty and after training in several camps in the states were sent to Hawaii in 1942 where Major Limb was connected with the engineer combat battalion.
From Hawaii Major Limb’s battalion was called for duty in the South Pacific where they participated in battles for New Guinea, the Ad? and Marshall Islands. ?? Dutch New Guinea ??? campaigns ? Front ??? New Guinea they were sent ?? of Leyte in the ?? Philippines then up to ??? the battalion became ?? known as The Avengers of Bataan.

In Manila Hospital
?? Major Limb was wounded ?? and went to a hospital in Manila and was later ?? the states for rest and ?? Ashford General ?? White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. This action took ?? years overseas.
On his blouse Major Limb wears the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart with Oak Leaf clusters, World War I ribbon with 3 stars for three major battles, the Am? Theatre ribbon for work done on the Alcan highway, Asiatic-Pacific ribbon with the Bronze Arrowhead for making an assault landing and three campaign stars, Philippines liberation ribbon with two stars.
Major Limb has about 145 points toward a discharge, however, officers are not given discharge privileges for points received.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m just another G.I.” Major Limb remarked. “Because I’ve been an enlisted a lot longer than an officer.”
While in Wooster he was visiting at the home of George Limb, North Grant st and Carl and Florence Limb, Nold ave and returned yesterday to the hospital in West Virginia until he’s reassigned.

Vets Recall Events Of Conflict In Which Disease Took Big Toll
by Elisabeth Quinby

“Forever in thine eyes, O Liberty, shines that pure light whereby the world is saved, and though thou slay me, yet will I trust in thee.”
— LYMAN CRITCHFIELD, jr. (in letter home, 1898)

Two world wars and current strife in the Far East and in Europe have over shadowed the short hazardous war the United States fought with Spain half a century ago.
Sunday, April 25, is the 50th anniversary of the official call for United States troops to fight in the Spanish-American War.
In Wooster and Doylestown and Orrville, in Shreve, Millersburg, Medina, Creston, Killbuck, Smithville, Marshallville, Loudonville, Apple Creek, Big Prairie — in hundreds of villages and cities the golden anniversary will pass quietly.
But those who survived the ordeal by disease, lack of food, and skirmishes with Spanish troops, will not ever forget the war months in 1898.
On February 15, 1898, the U.S.S. Maine was hit and sunk in Havana harbor, with the loss of some 200 lives.
Egged on by the Hearst press in particular, the country was seething until the war call came on April 25.
In the spring of 1898 the Eighth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, possessed a complete 12 company formation: A. Bucyrus; B. Akron; C. Polk; D. Wooster; E. East Liverpool; F. Canton; G. Wadsworth; H. Shreve; I. Canton; K. Alliance; L. Canton; and M. Mansfield.
President William McKinley’s home city, Canton, was represented by three companies — and Ohi’s Eighth Regiment was to become famous as “McKinley’s Own.”
On April 23, 1898, Col. Curtis V. Hard, commanding officer of the 8th Regiment, O.N.G., was informed the call for troops would be made Monday, April 25.
Capt. F.C. Gerlach of Wooster rounded up his men Sunday morning, went with them to a special war-eve service at the Wooster Methodist Episcopal church that night. Rev. J. Frank Smith took his text from Samuel 2, 10:12: “Be of good courage; Let us pray for the men, for our people and the cities of our God.”
Men of Wooster’s Company D could not know that night that they were going to meet death chiefly from pestilence — yellow fever and dysentery — instead of bullets.
(Many years later, at a Memorial Day service in Wooster, the late Edwin Slusser Wertz landed the 1898 U.S. Army as having been the direct influence in vast improvement in health and diet conditions for American soldiers in later years.)

On the 26th of April, 1898, the 8th Regiment was assembled at Akron, and two days later proceeded to Camp Bushnell, Columbus, where it was mustered into U.S. service as the 8th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, on May 13, 1898.

MEANTIME, back in Wooster, outstanding citizens of the community chipped in a total of $395.50, with which a bay horse was bought for Col. C.V. Hard and a seal brown horse for Chaplain I.N. Keiffer, beloved confident of the Wooster contingent. Col. Hard’s horse was named “General Wooster;” the horse given to Chaplain Keiffer was “Martin Luther, Jr.”
A dispatch from Camp Bushnell to the Wooster Republican on May 2, 1898, brought news of food gripes and of Cpl. Charlie Scott’s appointment to chief of police duty. “Assistants are Will Curry, Pete Miller, and Blondy Plank. Can you guess the reason why? (oversleep), runs the news item.
On May 16, the 8th Ohio was ordered to Camp Alger, in Fairfax county, near Falls church, Virginia. The camp was only nine miles from Washington, D.C. Crowds from the capital city came out daily to view the troops on parade.

ALL ALONG the way to Camp Alger the troops were greeted by mobs of cheering citizens. At the camp the 8th Ohio waited impatiently for orders to proceed to the front, in Cuba. Rumors flew — the 8th was going to Washington, to Puerto Rico, back to Columbus, out to Manila, where Dewey was attempting to take the Philippine Island for the United States.
The 8th Ohio was one of the earliest regiments to reach Camp Alger, which became one of the great permanent camps of the Spanish-American War. The camp was at Woodburn Manor, near Bull Run, one of the historic spots of the war between the states. Regiment members griped about food — in the historic manner of troops — about the long overdue pay, and about the camp’s being far from civilization.
Among celebrities of the regiment were Chaplain Keiffer, who was to die suddenly before the troops left for Cuba; Capt. Ammon B. Critchfield, of Shreve’s Co. H, “weighing 294 pounds, jovial and brave;” Capt. F.C. Gerlach of Wooster, Co. D, “the splendid young captain;” Col. C.V. Hard, “erect on his elegant bay, dignified, unimpassioned.”
Back in Wooster, 1st Sgt. Arch Dice was recruiting additional men. More than 40 men were added to the company rolls before he returned to Camp Alger. A fellow passenger on the trip was Chaplain Keiffer, who became ill soon after arriving in camp.
In June, Col. Hard, commander of the 8th O.V.I., wired back news of the sudden death of Chaplain I.N. Keiffer.

THE CHAPLAIN, who was president of Century club here when he left from military service, had been feeling ill for some days.
“I talked with him a few hours before his death, and both of us agreed he was improving,” Col. Hard wired back to Wooster. “At 3:45 a.m. the attendant was startled to hear him gasp. Assistant Surgeon Wuchter, of Wadsworth, who tented next door, heard him and rushed in. He gasped again and was dead. The cause was probably neuralgia of the heart. Officers and men of the regiment are all thoroughly dejected.
To replace Chaplain Keiffer, Col. Hard recommended the Rev. Dr. J.O. Campbell, minister of the United Presbyterian church, Wooster.

— ADD SPANISH WAY
In his farewell sermon at the church before leaving for the front, the Rev. Dr. Campbell told his overflow congregation: “American arms are triumphant on the hill tops around Santiago, and are sweeping Spain’s navies from the seas. God always writes with a legible hand . . .”
On the 4th of July, 1898, orders were received by Col. hard to move his regiment to New York City, to take the U.S.S. St. Paul for Cuba. The ship was in command of Captain Sigsbee, who was in command of the Maine at the time it was destroyed in Havana harbor.
The ship left the evening of July 6 for Santiago. During the voyage the 8th Ohio had some diversion for the St. Paul chased several suspect vessels.

TROOPS WERE instructed to land at Siboney, about 12 miles down the coast from Santiago.
Arrival of the U.S.S. St. Paul on July 12 brought a special entry in the diary of the British Consul in Havana, Mr. Ramsden. “The sight of the 8th Regiment as reinforcements increased the despondency of the Spanish for their cause,” Mr. Ramsden observed.
“As soon as all were landed, the advance over the mountain trails was begun. “The heat was oppressive and the tropical sun beat down hard upon the heads of the boys from northern Ohio . . .” runs a dispatch from Cuba to the Wooster Daily Republican. The men saw many crude fresh graves, over which the buzzards hovered.

All through the war, which was officially over late in August, 1898, Lyman Critchfield, Jr. — known to succeeding generations in Wayne Co. as Judge L.R. Critchfield — kept up a running account of 8th Ohio news. Other correspondents signed themselves “Sgt. Slim” and “High Private.”
As they marched to encamp after landing at Siboney, the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry saw fresh graves along the road. Col. Hard received orders to encamp his regiment on the east bank of the Aguadores river.

THE CAMP was wet and unhealthy. From the time of muster in and muster out the regiment was to lose 106 men — with more deaths added the following year from conditions directly traceable to the Spanish American War.
Although Col. Hard asked and received permission to change the location of the camp to Sevilla Hill, the entire stay in Cuba was a constant struggle against disease.
The regimental graveyard was in a secluded spot high on the hillside and commanding a view of Santiago, five miles away. Irvin Lautzenheiser was the first regimental death in Cuba. Famous “Round Robin” letter signed by every officer in the entire army of Santiago protested against the circumstances which endangered the health of their troops.
Part of the Ohio men had gone into the signal corps — and, like Fred Leopold of Wooster, spent the war months in Puerto Rico. Spain progested the American landing on that island and tendered a peace proposal. (“Young” King Alphonso of Spain was ill at the time with the measles.)
On July 23, Col. Hard wired to Wooster: “Eighth All Well — notify towns interested.”

RUMORS OF THE disease which was striking down the 8th Ohio in Cuba still made a nightmare of the summer of ’98 for the families in this district.
Lt. Col. Charles Dick of the 8th Ohio was selected to return to the United States to confer with President McKinley on conditions in Cuba.
Lyman Critchfield wrote home: “The health of the 8th is good, of Co. D, excellent . . . Our precautions for preserving our health are strict. We boil all our water and do not eat the fruit here. Our rations are slim, but we expect them to be better soon.
“The boys are singing and joking and discussing war and fighting the Spaniards mentally. We have had no word from home since July 5. We have no drills and all the work is to cook our own meals and keep from starving. Between times the band plays “Yankee doodle” and we all shout and sing. At night we dream of being back in the States.”
In Puerto Rico, as July 1898, wore on into August, the headlines read: “Dons Fled Like Scared Rabbits From the Americans.” All our troops in Cuba were marching on San Juan.

YELLOW FEVER among troops in Cuba was rating scare headlines too, although the Wooster Daily Republican asserted there was not a case of the fever among members of the 8th Ohio.
“Last Saturday,” wrote Capt. F.C. Gerlach, “George Limb, Jerry Naftzger, Sterling Funk and myself walked to Siboney to get some things that were packed in our trunks.
“I had dinner with Capt. H.L. Kuhns. There was a report that there was yellow fever, but it was shown that it was not the genuine fever.”
To allay the spreading rumors, the 8th Ohio sanitary bulletins were published:
Aug. 7 Aug. 8 Aug. 9
Number sick 3,445 3,017 2,830
Fever cases 2,498 2,086 2,043
New cases 412 254 233
Fever cases — 390 307
Retired duty 406 — —

This is the way the war now stacked up:
Beginning of the war, Thursday, April 21, 7 a.m.
Admiral Sampson’s fleet sails from Key West to blockage ports of Cuba, Friday, April 22, 5:45 a.m.
First gun of the war fired by the gunboat Nashville, Friday, April 22.
First prize of the war — the Buena Ventura — captured by the Nashville, Friday, April 22.
The president asks for 125,000 volunteers, April 23.
Great naval battle fought in the harbor of Manila, P.I., and the Spanish fleet vessels destroyed by the U.S. squadron, in command of Commodore George Dewey, May 1.
Invasion of Cuba begun by the landing of 600 marines, June 10.
American troops at Guantanamo attacked by Spaniards, who were repulsed, June 11.
Second Manila expedition leaves San Francisco, June 15.
General assault — after previous victories — begun by the army and by ships at 7 a.m. July 1 and 2, the American troops capturing and holding the lines of the enemy.
Santiago de Cuba bombarded by the Fifth Army Corps on Sunday, July 10.
Pease overtures made by Spain announced by the authorities at Washington, Tuesday, July 26.
Army in Cuba ordered on August 4 to proceed to the new camp at Montauk Point, N.Y.
By August 5, General Miles had reached many miles in the interior of Puerto Rico, and the Spaniards were on the run.
Spain’s acceptance of our peace terms submitted to the president, August 9, 1898.

“HOME HOME,” ran the August 6 dispatch headline in the Wooster Daily Republican. “The longing words of sick soldier boys.”
Foul food, or no food at all, foul living conditions, foul everything in Cuba were behind the 8th Ohio survivors.
On August 5, Col. Hard was notified to have his troops in readiness for the trip north. “All men will be examined for yellow fever, and all suspect cases will be left behind. Tents will be left standing and only private horses will be embarked,” ran the official orders.
“All clothing and bedding that can be spared will be turned in to prevent infection.”
(Those were the days before the dread yellow fever had been traced to a certain breed of mosquitoes.)
On August 10, the entire regiment was re-united and encamped on famed San Juan Hill. On the 16th of August orders were received that the 8th Ohio was to embark on the U.S.S. Mohawk, a transport that had just landed 1200 miles away on Puerto Rico.
“The sick and emaciated 8th Regiment went north, with two deaths at sea. A number had been left behind in Cuban hospitals. We’ll have ?? camp until ?? September ?? sixty days’ furlough until mustering out on November 10, at Wooster,” goes the published account of the trip home.
Tragedy was still to hit many households in this county.
August 22, in a story datelined Burbank, Ohio, a typical story is told: “While Mr. and Mrs. David Naftzger were attending the camp meeting at Pleasant Home yesterday, a man whose horses were almost white with sweat drove up to the grounds and found Mr. and Mrs. Naftzger and told them that there was a death message at their home.
“Mrs. Naftzger exclaimed with pitiful accents, ‘Oh, I know who it is. It is my boy,’ and fainted dead away and had to be carried to their carriage.”
Fern N. Naftzger, their only son, had died of yellow fever in Santiago. He was only 19 years old.
After the 8th Regiment, O.V.I. landed in the States, the county was stirred by accounts of illness. There was a mass meeting in the Wooster Opera House, which resulted in Harry McClarran and Andrew Branstetter starting at 2 a.m. for New York, with $353.06 to be used in caring for sick Wooster soldiers.

COL. CURTIS HARD was attacked in the press following cessation of the war, for the “skeletal” condition of his troops on arrival at New York. Chaplain Campbell and the 8th Ohio Regiment came to his defense.
Lyman Critchfield reported that “some of the boys brought parrots with them. Co. D has one. We are teaching it to swear and use rude words in the English language. It talks Spanish now.”
The war was over.
Sick and dying soldiers still were hospitalized at Montauk Point, N.Y. Rumored deaths added to the anxiety of families back home.
Then the Wooster paper headlined:

“HARK, THE SIGNAL BELL. Twice it Will Ring for Our Own Boys: When They Leave New York and Are Within an Hour of Wooster.”
There was to be a formal reception at the depot, a parade, a supper at the armory, a 7:30 p.m. parade and fire works, a reception at the Opera House at 8 p.m.
Fire Chief Gerlach was primed to give the special signal by repeating the fire alarm three times in a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 sequence.
Company D, of Wooster, Company H, of Shreve, and the other companies in the 8th Ohio, came home to royal welcomes.

ON NOVEMBER 10, 1898, Company D reached Wooster. On November 11 they staged a full dress parade. The last full dress parade under Major Edward Vollrath of Bucyrus, came on November 18.
(Even the University of Wooster, through President Sylvester F. Scovel, invited the troops to an impromptu open house on the college campus.)
The regiment ? forgot its gallant band. They agreed: “In the dark days before Santiago, it was as a cooling draught to the fevered brain, to the weak, sick, and ragged boys of the 8th Ohio to hear the inspiring strains of the regimental band come floating over the hills at eventide.”
On November 21 — it was a Monday — the 8th Ohio Regiment, O.V.I., was mustered out. They were never to be together again as a regiment.
But, in 1906 Buckeye Camp No. 51, United Spanish War veterans was chartered on April 2. The camp still meets in Memorial hall on the first Monday of each month.
There are now 58 members of Buckeye Camp No. 51. Officers are: Charles King, Madisonburg, commander; W.B. Swartz, Wooster, senior vice commander; Percy Maize, R.D. Wooster, junior vice commander; Wiley K. Miller, Wooster, quartermaster; Fred Leopold, Wooster, adjutant.
Members of the camp celebrated Muster Day a week early this year, with a dinner on Sunday, April 18. A week from the 50th anniversary date, the entire north-eastern Ohio Booster of Spanish American war veterans and auxiliary members will come to Wooster for an all-day meeting.
The national association of the Spanish American veterans has been invited by Cuba to hold the annual fall convention there this year — but plans are being held up by a transportation bottleneck, Wooster veterans say.
Buckeye Camp, No. 51, United Spanish War Veterans, includes the following members today:
Resident Members — Barnard, William E.; Berry, Ernest A.; Bersch, Albert W.; Conrad, William A.; Critchfield, Lyman R.; Curry, William R.; Dice, Arch H.; Gray, Frank G.; Johnson, Merton R.; Jolliff, Harvey; King, Charles F.; Kinkler, Harry.

Non-Resident Members — Bedford, Frank P., Killbuck; Bensinger, Oliver, Rittman; Bird, Charles E., Loudonville; Brown, Thomas, Cleveland; Buchanan, Sam E., Creston; Campbell, Robert J., Shreve; Chance, Alfred R., Seville; Dewar, James, Dayton; Emrick, Edward, Medina; Ernst, William, Shreve.
Gensemer, Dubs K., Creston; Isch Elmer, Marshallville; Lautzenheiser, Perrine, Hudson, Mich.; Lemon, A.B., Millersburg; Manson, John C., Orrville; Marsh, Clarence B., Sandusky; Miehls, William A., Orrville; Merillat, Oliver B., Millersburg; Miller, Bert R., Shreve; Mumma, Lee R., Washington, D.C.
McFarland, Edgar, Columbus; McKeal, James, Shreve; McKeever, John C., Shreve; McKenzie, H.C., Big Prairie; Pontius, Lee, Orrville; Sterrett, William B., BridgePort, O.; Swartz, George, Barberton; Tanner, Wilbur, J., LeRoy; Werner, Samuel, Orrville; Zeber, George W., Harmony, Pa.
As soldiers always have, the Spanish-American troops thought they were fighting a final war.
Many of them have lived to find they were only starting on another 50 years of strife. Their sons and their grandsons have fought two major world wars.
Yet — they still feel the way they did when they volunteered in ’98.
“Forever in thine eyes, O Liberty, shines that pure light whereby the world is saved and though thou slayest me, yet will I trust in thee.”

Tells Of Visit With Late Harry Woodman
Harry D. Woodman, Spanish War veteran who died a few days ago in Bay Pines, Fla., had been in Wooster just a few weeks ago. Jay H. Jolliff met him in a downtown restaurant. In a note to the Record, Jay writes.
“I did not recognize him at first until he said, ‘Hello, Jay.’ then the old smile that was always Caddy’s brightened up his face. I remember him so well as a sergeant in old Company D. He wondered how some of his old comrades were. Col. Gerlach, Arch Dice, George Limb, James Rahl, Cap Barnard and many others. No doubt these follows will be glad to know that old Caddy had not forgotten them, and I believe it would be nice for all of us, who knew him so well, to send a kindly thought or perhaps a little prayer for the one who rests in the little cemetery at Bay Pines, Fla.

Veteran Teacher Has Devoted Life To Music
[photo w/caption: Young’s I.O.O.F. Orchestra, front row, William Hess, Harry Young, William Smith, Warren Keister. Back row, H.H. Barett, George Limb, Frank Lowry, Theodore Muschenich, Harry Sweeny.]
By E.H. Hauenstein
A music teacher watched the timing of a seven year old boy as he “rattled the bones” at a benefit concert while his “big sister” several years older, accompanied him on the organ.
Next morning the teacher told the boy’s father the child should learn to play an instrument. The father and the teacher went to the Thomas music store, bought a violin, and arranged for a series of lessons.
The music teacher was Dan Roth, the boy was Harry H. Young, and the “big sister” was Julia Young, later Mrs. J.M. Russell, who served many years as a church organist and choir vocalist in Wooster.
The music teacher’s suggestion started a musical career for Mr. Young which has continued for well over 60 years. For more than half of this time, music for Mr. Young was a sideline, but since 1927 he has devoted all of his time to it.
HE TEACHES instrumental music in schools, two days each week at Apple Creek, one day at Mt. Eaton, half a day at Madisonburg and a day and a half in Wooster city schools.
His first violin, by the way, is still in use, played by his grand-daughter, Rosalie Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Young, of Dover, where David Young is also a teacher of school music.
The benefit concert where Mr. Young made his first appearance in public, was given at the Academy of Music auditorium, in the building where the Freedlander dry goods store is located. It was the scene of many public events in the Gay Nineties and before. Proceeds of the concert which helped to shape Harry Young’s career went to flood sufferers at Cincinnati, he recalls.
BY THE TIME he was 12 to 14 years of age Harry Young had made sufficient progress as a violinist to play in an orchestra. He recalls that he was one of two boys in school who could play a violin. The other one was Arthur Funk.
“The first orchestra in which I played,” he said, “was organized by Steve Smith, who for many years operated a plumbing business in Wooster and later built and ran the Three-C hotel on South Market street.”
Not long after he started to play second violin in Smith’s orchestra, James Miller headed another orchestra, and Young’s services were in demand because he was about the only person who played second violin. He played in both orchestras for several years, and the managers had to consult each other so they would not book engagements on the same night, because, between them, they had only one second violinist. Another member of the Smith orchestra was Frank Lowry, who played the bass viol, and who continued his orchestra work in Wooster for many years. He also played in several Wooster bands. The Smith orchestra usually had five or six players, and provided music for dances staged by various groups, young people’s social clubs, the Masons and other lodges, the exclusive Everett club, and, in those days, the big event of the year, the Eighth of January dance which followed the speech-making.
HARRY YOUNG organized his first orchestra before the turn of the century. It was composed of four musicians, William Conrad, violinist; Emil Conrad, guitar; William Hess, flute; and Young, leader and second violinist. The orchestra in later years was increased to eight pieces, and at times nine men played. It was probably the best known orchestra in Wooster in the two decades preceding the first world war.
Other orchestras which played numerous engagements in that same era were Conrad’s orchestra, almost a family affair, with William and Emil and their sister, Lula, at the piano, and the Franks orchestra, organized by O.C. Franks, Wooster justice of the peace, who, in those days managed a barber shop. Both were organized around the turn of the century.
While the three orchestras were playing at local social events and other engagements, the membership of Young’s orchestra included William Hess, flute; Harry Young, violin; William Smith, clarinet; Warren Keister, cornet; H.H. Barrett, drums; George Limb, viola; Frank Lowry, bass; Theodore Muschenich, violin and Harry Sweeney, trombone; Harry Robison and Jacob Graber both played with this orchestra at times.
During the years it operated as the I.O.O.F. orchestra, Young’s group played for all the degree work of that lodge.
ONE OF ITS chief engagements was at the city opera house, managed by George Kettler. Traveling companies in those days carried only a pianist and the local manager was called upon to provide the orchestra. Usually the show troupe got in on the 6 o’clock train, giving practically no opportunity for the orchestra to study the score, or to practice with the pianist, the only one who was familiar with the pattern of the whole show and how the music fitted into it.
“It was largely a matter of playing without any thorough rehearsal whatever,” Mr. Young recalls.
One night the pianist with the show was a woman. The orchestra was running over a few of the high spots of the score with her. One orchestra player gave out with a blue note. She turned to him instantly.
“You’re drunk,” she enlarged.
Mr. Young assured her that the man in question never took a drink, but she was not fully convinced.
“I smell liquor,” she insisted.
The brief rehearsal was completed and the orchestra played for the show. Next day the trombonist, a substitute, admitted to Mr. Young that he had taken a drink before reporting for work. But it wasn’t the trombonist who blew the sour note, so the pianist’s sense of smell was apparently better than her sense of the direction from which it came.
“The dance music our early orchestras played was pretty elementary,” Mr. Young says, looking back from today’s standards. “We had no waltzes then, and we played schottisches, polkas, and the varsovienne, a variation of the polka. It was two-step and three-step music, suitable for orchestras small in number of players.”
IN 1915 WHEN Dan Parmelee came to Wooster, Mr. Young took his young son, David, to him for lessons, and suggested to the newcomer that a symphony orchestra might be organized here. The Wooster symphony, undertaken on this suggestion, last year celebrated its 35th anniversary under Mr. Parmelee’s direction, and has been a great contribution to the music of the community. Aside from the director, Mr. Young is the only charter member still in the orchestra. He has both 25-year and 35-year awards for this service, and his advance students in instrumental music continue to be a source of recruit material for the constantly changing personnel of that organization. The orchestra held its first rehearsals on the third floor over the Citizens National bank.
“Mr. Parmelee has done a great deal,” Mr. Young said, “to improve the standard of music of our community.”
Also important in creating a taste for better music, Mr. Young said, are radio and the phonograph, both of which bring into today’s homes the very finest in all classes of music.
When Mr. Young began to play his violin there were practically no pianos in Wooster or Wayne county homes, where the chief instruments were parlor organs or melodeens.
In 1913 Mr. Young undertook the direction of the Lutheran Sunday school orchestra, which played every Sunday for more than thirty years. At the present time he also has a Sunday school orchestra, — at Wayne church, north of the city, made up partly of young students he teaches at Wayne school.
He played an alto horn in several Wooster bands, chief of which was the well-known Wooster Board of Trade band, directed by Cary McAfee, Harry Robison and others.
IN HIS EARLIER years music was purely a sideline in Mr. Young’s life, but as the seasons came and went he found himself devoting more and more time to it. For years he worked in the D. Nice store, and later was a salesman with the Smith & Schott company. He found time, however, to give some instrumental music lessons to private students.
In 1927 at which time the Smith & Schott Co. was sold, Mr. Young proposed to County School Supt. C.A. Gibbens that he organize, on his own initiative, instrumental music classes in some Wayne county schools, and give them instruction. Mr. Gibbens placed his O.K. on the idea, but at about the same time there was an opening for a school music teacher at Smithville, and Mr. Gibbens recommended him for the job. That was in 1927.
The following year he organized the Smithville High school band, the first school band in Wayne county outside of Wooster and Orrville.
THE NEXT YEAR he pioneered in another development in music. With the sanction of C.W. Ellenwood, Frank Taggart and F.W. Dean, members of the Wooster township board of education, he interested 32 pupils from rural one-room schools in playing in a school orchestra. The first rehearsal was held in the basement of the court house, beneath the school superintendent’s office. The loud tooting of horns, not without some discords, aroused considerable objection from several sources in the court house, and after that first rehearsal, activities were transferred to Memorial Hall. An orchestra that gave a creditable account of itself was developed during the coming months.
A year or two later he developed a similar orchestra in the rural schools of Baughman township. One member of the board brought his son and daughter to the first rehearsal, and after hearing that initial effort suggested to Mr. young that he give up the attempt.
“I asked him to bring the boy and girl and then visit a neighbor while we rehearsed,” the veteran teacher recalls, “and to come back in several weeks to see if we had improved. By the end of the school year we had a 16-piece orchestra that everyone was proud of.”
One of Mr. Young’s students at Smithville was Ralph Gillman, now head of the music department of Akron public schools. A great many others, interested in music through his teaching, have gone on to musical careers, or at least have developed their musical talents as a part of their general education.
THE CREATION of orchestras by taking pupils of several rural schools to a central point for rehearsal is now a part of the grand scheme of musical training in the schools. These pupils have joined village school orchestras in the annual instrumental music festival held by the schools of the county.
When Mr. Young began to play his violin, no instrumental music was taught in the public schools of Wayne county, and it was not until comparatively recent date that special music teachers have served the smaller schools of the county. There was no music by radio, and no phonograph records. Old time fiddlers, church organ and choir music, the appearance of artists at public entertainments, singing schools, and music instruction at Wooster College, where the inspirational Karl Merz headed the department of music from 1882 to 1890, was about all the community had in the way of satisfying its musical tastes.
Mr. Young’s musical career bridges a period during which music has advanced in keeping with other vast changes in a revolutionary age. And he has been in the forefront all the way.

Thanksgiving Menu For Mind Is Presented
Fourth Division of Zion Lutheran church met in the Luther Lounge of the church Friday, with 14 members in attendance.
The meeting was opened by the group singing a Thanksgiving hymn.Mrs. Russell Gantz of the program committee, offered a devotional reading of Matt. 1-1-12; followed by a prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison by the group.
With Thanksgiving in the offing, and thinking of coming feasts, Mrs. Gant presented a clever menu substituting “something for the mind,” instead of “something to eat.”
This Thanksgiving menu is as follows:
Grace
Conscience — Clear
Kindness — Good Cheer
Tender Memories
Charity — stuffed with usefulness
Heart fond and true
Affection — Happiness — Good Thoughts
Best wishes Absent Friends

Concluding this menu was a picture entitled “You’ll take the Highroad” showing the superb beauties of nature. Mrs. John Maskas, the Division president assisted in the program by showing this movie.
The program was followed by a brief business meeting conducted by Mrs. Maskas.
The members gathered in the Fireside room for refreshments. Again the Thanksgiving theme was followed through, with pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream and coffee. Fruits and fall flowers decorated the table.
The hostess chairman, Mrs. E.V. Hoff, was assisted by Mrs. Geo. Gingery, Mrs. Chester Blake, Mrs. Malinda Itzenhicer, Mrs. Harry Snure, Mrs. Bert France, Mrs. N.G. Kalkas and Mrs. George Limb.

Wooster Has Twenty-Three Spanish War Veterans
[photo w/caption: Seated, left to right: W.E. Barnard, T.B. Brown, C.E. Clewell, Ed G. Kuhn, Frank P. Bedford, and E.D. Merkel. Standing, left to right: W.B. Swartz, John T. Swarts, G.W. Unger, Charles R. Scott, G.M. Swarts, Fred J. Leopold, and W.A. Conrad.]
Twenty-three Spanish American war veterans still live in Wooster.
Thirteen of them, shown in the picture, attended the recent 54th annual reunion of the 8th Regiment, O.V.I. Known as “McKinley’s Own,” this regiment was composed of 1,300 men, approximately 240 of whom are living. In the area surrounding Wooster are twenty more 8th Regiment veterans.
Veterans in Wooster who did not attend the reunion are Arch Dice, Frank G. Gray, Merton R. Johnson, Charles E. King, Harvey F. Ellis, George S. Limb, Harry L. McClarran, Arthur R. Milham, George B. Webb, Don W. Kostenbader.
Most of the men in the 8th Regiment in 1898 were between 18 and 19 years of age, which makes them about 73 now.
RECRUITS WHERE issued rubber blankets, dog tents, heavy flannel blankets, and a cup, plate, knife, and fork. The folks at home packed barrels of jelly, pickles, fruit, and tobacco which were sent to the boys.
Co. C had 109 men — one colonel, one captain, two lieutenants, six sergeants, 12 corporals, two musicians, one artificer, one wagoner, and the rest privates. Capt. Frank C. Gerlach, a pharmacist in civilian life, took along medicines which later saved the lives of many soldiers. The hospital corps had almost no medicine.
On the ship the boys slept in hammocks — one above the other. Fred Leopold of 323 W. Larwill st. remembers taking a top hammock because he didn’t want anyone getting sick above him. Also on the boat were 1,200 head of horses and mules. The signal corps of which Leopold was a member, had more privileges than many of the soldiers and they spent most of their time on deck getting fresh air.
IN PUERTO RICO with General Miles the soldiers had to eat wormy hardtack and often drank water that had not been boiled. Men with no experience were detailed out of the corop to do the cooking. Hardtack and tomatoes were thrown together in a wash boiler and boiled. Laundry was given to native women who washed it in the river. A reward of $500 was offered for a Confederate money passer. One of the soldiers was palming Confederate bills on the natives.
No records of the boy’s home addresses were kept. Leopold did not tell his parents he was ill with fever, but upon arrival in the States on a hospital ship he wired home. A return wire said his father would meet him in the morning. Before arriving he went to Washington and obtained an order for the release of his son. After two months sick leave Leopold returned to Washington for his discharge.
A telegraph operator on the Pennsylvania railroad for 47 years, Leopold retired in 1939. He still lives in the house his father built and which has been his father built and which has been his home for 70 years. Since his wife’s death he has been living alone. A daughter lives in Akron and his son, John, in the photography division of the 2nd Marine Corps, during World War I, now lives in Hollywood where he owns a large photography business.

Roses are Featured For Garden Tour Wednesday
Roses seem to be a favorite at the nine homes where flower lovers visited the gardens Wednesday during the Garden Tour Day.
Close to the end of the tour, visitors were served punch and cookies in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. David Taggart, 824 E. Bowman st. An unusual tiered arrangement of white chrysanthemums and red geraniums centered the serving table.
Roses and perennials were the day’s feature at the Taggarts’, for their annuals are not yet in bloom.
YESTERDAY’S Tour Day was arranged by the Women’s Advisory Board of the College of Wooster with the cooperation of the Wooster Garden Study club. The event was a benefit to raise funds to help in furnishing the lounge rooms of the new College of Wooster Faculty Club, formerly the Secrest home at the corner of University and Beall ave.
About 150 tickets were sold for the tour which was conducted between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m. Mrs. Taggart and Mrs. E.K. Emerson were co-chairmen for the event.
Roses — in all shades — predominated at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert N. Wright, 1023 Beall ave. Peonies were also in bloom, and their mock orange blossoms are just beginning to come out.
In the garden of Mr. and Mrs. George Limb, 850 N. Grant st., is a miscellaneous grouping of flowers including roses, peonies, poppies, and shasta daisies. A variety of flowering trees in the garden include hemlock and dogwood.
A GENERAL perennial garden is the way Mrs. Paul Bushnell, 704 Wayne ave., describes her garden which includes among other flowers, lupine, peonies, columbine, iris, pansies, violas, coral bells. The coral bells are planted to attract the humming birds.

By slides and lecture, the Wilsons took the group over the jungle trails, to the botanical gardens filled with exotic plants and through the banana plantations of the great fruit companies of Honduras.
