THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Fifty-Five Years Ago The Frontier, February 11, 1886 Chas. E. Downey, ■ _ . operation by the last of the week or the first of next. H. W. McClure and family have been very busy the past week pack ing up the store goods and their household effects preparatory to removing to Sioux City. Early Sunday morning a genu ine old time blizzard was ushered in and it continued for 24 hours with unabated fury. By six o’clock Sunday evening the storm equal led in fury the ever memorable storm of January 12, 1888, and was much colder. The trains were all blocked from Saturday night bo Monday night on the Elkhorn, while the ShoTt Line train that started out Monday at noon for Sioux City had not returned last night. The Item, February 5, 1891 King & Cronin, Editors David Darr has let the contract for a new residence. It wiil be a dandy and will cost $6,000.00. M iss Maggie Gibbons is now | teaching school in the district northeast of town. Married, at the Catholic Church in this city, on Monday morning, at 8:30 o’clock, Rev. M. F. Cassidy | officiating, Cornelius Keyes to Miss Lizzie Gallagher. The city has appropriated $1,000 to aid in putting down an artesian well and a contract for the work will soon be made and the work prosecuted. This issue of The Item is under new management, its former edi tor and manager, Ezra Saunders, having turned over the business to the undersigned, who will put forth their best efforts to further the interests of O’Neill and Holt county and maintain the good rep utation the paper has attained un der its former managers. In poli tics it will be republican, straight, pure and unadulterated.—Clyde King and Dennis Cronin. The Item, February 13, 1891 A good judge of poor newspa pers remarked the other day that our first issue was better than any paper in O’Neill, since the Free Press died. We don’t want the earth. Fwty Years Ago The Frontier, February 14, 1901 Seven inches of ice is the best afforded this winter, but O’Neill ice dealers are glad to get that and are making haste to get it into stor age before a thaw. Miss Emma Dickinson, who has been visiting at the Gilligan home here for the past week, departs for her home at Tekamah tomorrow. In the county judge’s office the work of making a general probate index was recently begun, the county authorizing the employ, ment of a clerk for that purpose. Miss Kittie Dwyer is doing the work. The first snow in Nebraska this year amounting to anything came last Friday when the greater por tion of the state was visited by a moderate fall of flakes. Mr. and Mrs. John Harmon re turned Thursday from their wed ding trip and are now comfortably installed in their home in the west, ern part of town. Thirty Years Ago The Frontier, February 9, 1911 The heavy snow of Sunday did not materially affect the train service on the two lines running into O’Neill. The McGinnis electric light sys tem expects to be in working or der within a few weeks. The pol ing and wiring is progressing rap idly and the machinery is being set in place. Twenty Years Ago The Frontier, February 10, 1921 Seven bandits stole a car here from J. F. O’Donnell last Sunday night, drove to Orchard where they blew the safe and got away with about $1000.00. The car was later found at Yankton. Five men were arrested in Sioux City as suspects. The remodeling and finishing of the basement rooms of the O’Neill National bank building, for Club rooms for the American Legion has been completed and the rooms are now ready for occupancy. We notice by the Horse Review, a newspaper published in Chicago, in the interest of horse owners, in its issue of January 26, a lengthy article devoted to the track record of Belle Coronado, who won the victory in the ice racing contest at Toronto, Canada, January 1 to 4, in a nine heat race. This horse was formerly owned by J. H. Rei mers, living southwest of Inman, who sold the animal about two years ago to Henry Scott, of North Carolina. Ten Years Ago The Frontier, February 12, 1931 Mrs. Anna Joyce, one of the early pioneers in Holt county and northeast Nebraska, died last Sat urday, February 7, at St. Joseph’s hospital in Omaha following an ill ness of about three weeks. She was 75 years of age. Her husband passed away in 1929. Harry Page, residing three and a half miles north of this, city, sow ed ten acres of ground to rye last week; he also sowed ten acres of sweet clover in a pasture after the ground had been disced. We un derstand there is no frost in the open ground and that there is moisture all the way down.
