“ANOTHER O’NEILL
BOY MAKES GOOD”
T. V. Golden covered himself with
glory and reflected great credit upon
the O’Neill Country and Golf club and
the city when as the representative of
the club he captured the cup in the
secretary’s flight' at the Northeast
Nebraska Golf tournament at Norfolk
last week. At that he had to defeat
another O’Neill golf player, W. H.
Harty, to do it, the two earlier in the
tournament, defeated all of the other
contestants in the importannt event.
Both IVJf. Golden and Mr.»Harty play
ed championship golf throughout the
_ tournament, making several' holes on
the Norfolk course below par a num
ber of times. The final contest be
tween the two O’Neill men was a bat
tle and it was witnessed by a large
gallery. It sufficies to say that the
contestants were tied on the thifty
sixth hole and that it was necessary
to play another before Mr. Golden was
declared the victor. The Norfolk
News and the Norfolk club members
were enthusiastic about Mr. Golden’s
!T~ form and playing, which was nothing
new to local players however. They
have known it for years, and that is
why they affectionately accorded him
the title of “The Dean of North Ne
braska Golf Players,” even if he is
only seventy years young.
ANOTHER FIVE
GENERATION FAMILY
O’Neill ia probably the only town in
the country having two families of
which five generations are living. Lit
tle Miss Dora Cooper, daghter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ted Cooper, is the represen
tative of the fifth generation of one of
them and the state newspapers re
cently carried photographs and an ac
count of the five generations. Mrs.
Fred Gatz is the representative of the
second generation of the other family,
a photograph and account of which ap
peared in the World Herald Monday
evening. The account is from Colum
bus, Nebraska, and is as follows:
