Dr. Tipton Again Wins
Golf Championshic
The twenty-first annual golf
tournament of the O’Neill Country
Club held the first of the week,
with qualifying rounds on Sun
day and the play offs on Monday
and Tuesday. On account of
present conditions there was not
as large a crowd present as usual,
but the members of the Club
feel that the tournament was a
big success.
Max Golden, 1941 champion,
| was the medalist of the meet, and
' the boys all figured they had
Max to beat if they wanted to
cop the championship, and they
were right. Max went on to the
semi-finals when he was put out
by Dr. Tipton, from whopa he
won the title last year; but the
O’Neill boy did not give up with
out a struggle for it took 22 holes
before the Omaha man was able
to cop the match and get into the
championship flight.
In the finals he was pitted
against Scovie Jaszkowiak, who
had won the right to play for
the championship by defeating
Pug Horn, of Ainsworth, in the
semi finals. Dr. Tipton defeated
“Scovie” and for the second time
hi three years he is again the
champion of the O’Neill Country
Club.
In the consolation mgnt £.a
Casey won the title by default, as
his opponent failed to appear for
the play off.
The second flight was won by
M. H. Luth, defeating Dr. Green
2 up. The second flight was
composed of some very classy
players and the matches were
good ones.
The third flight was won by
Dr. Fisher and the third flight
consolation by Rev. V. C. Wright.

entertained the visiting ladies
with bridge parties at the Club

held at 2 o’clock this afternoon
from the Presbyterian church,
Dr. John E. Spencer officiating,
and burial in the cemetery at
Mineola at the side of her hus
band and children who have pre
ceded her.
Margaret May McCormick was
born in Cedar county, Iowa, on
December 23, 1857. She grew to
womanhood there and on Febru
ary 17, 1881, she was united in
marriage to Joseph M. Hunter,
the ceremony being performed in
her native county. They lived in
Cedar county, Iowa, until 1884,
when they came to Holt county
and Mr. Hunter took a homestead
northeast of O’Neill in the Min
eola country. They were residents
of that section of the county until
1914 when they moved to this
city, and this had been her home
ever since.
Mrs. Hunter was the mother of
five children, three sons and two
daughters, one son and daughter
surviving. They are William M.
Hunter, North Bend, Oregon, and
Mrs. Cleda H. Brady of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. Mrs. Brady has
been here the past three or four
months and her son, William, is
expected to arrive here Thursday
morning for the funeral.
Mrs. Hunter was a charming
woman and had a host of friends
in this city and county, being es
pecially well known in the east
ern half of the county. Her hus
band1 passed away in June, 1926,
and for several years Mrs. Hunter
made her home with her son and
his wife near Star part of the time
until her son’s death in Decem
ber, 1939, since which itme Mrs.
Hunter and her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Carrie Hunter, moved into
her residence in this eity, where
she lived up to the time of her
death.
For fifty-eight years she had
been a resident of this county and
went through all the hardships of
the early-day pioneers. Through
Indian scares, the big blizzard of
1888 and the drouths of the nine
ties and of 1903-6, but always had
faith in the ultimate prosperity
of this section of the country,
where she had lived for so many
years. Her passing adds another
to the long roll of old timers who
have passed away during the past
ten years, and Mrs. Hunter and
her late husband were among
those who assisted a great deal
in the building of this va*t em
pire of ours.
William E. Gaffney
William E. Gaffney died last
Sunday morning at the home of a
neighbor, Patrick Corrigan, near
Emmet, as the result of a heart
attack at the age of 56 years, six
months and twenty days. The fu
neral was held last Tuesday
morning from St. Patrick’s church
in this city, Rev. J. J. O’Brien of
Emmet officiating, and burial in
Calvary cemetery.
William Gaffney was born near
Emmet on the first day of De
cember, 1884, and had been a resi
dent of the county all his life.
He never married and with his
brother, Thomas, also a bachelor,
lived on a farm about three miles
west and one south of Emmet.
For several years he had been
afflicted with heart trouble,
which was aided by an inward
goitre. Last Saturday evening
he went to Corrigan’s and spent
the night there. He was taken
sick during the night and Dr.
McKee of Atkinson was called,
but he passed away early in the
forenoon. He is survived by
three brothers and six sisters.
They are: Bert and Thomas of
Emmet; John, Denver, Colo.; Mrs.
Mary A. Grady, Denver; Mrs.
Bessie Rotherham, Inman; Mrs.
Anna Fickle, Craig, Colo.; Mrs.
Nellie Galligan, Denver; Mrs.
Rose Cain, Denver; Mrs. Gene
vieve Flood, O’Neill.
William was a genial and com
panionable man and, while he
had been in poor health for sev
eral years, he was always trying
to do something to keep his end
up. He had a host of friends in
the western part of the county,
where he was well known, and
his many friends, while they
knew his health had been poor,
were shocked to learn of his
sudden death.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our many
friends and neighbors for their
kindness and sympathy shown
during our recent bereavement
in the loss of our beloved brother.
