As a lodge member, Mrs Wal mer holds something of a rec ord, having been a member of the Rebekahs for 55 years. This is believed to be the longest membership in the district in which Orchard is included. She has held all offices in the lodge and has attended district assem bly meetings throughout the years. She joined the lodge while living at O’Neill. Of the original family of 11 children, Mrs. Walmer has one brother, Hurley, and one sister, Mrs. D. N. Loy, living in O’Neill; a brother, Charles, in Schuyler; a brother, Ben, in Turlock, Cal., and a sister, Jennie Binkerd, in El Monte, Calif. On September 20, 1950, she would be happy to observe her 78th birthday anniversary with a family reunion. Mrs. Walmer enjoys fairly good health, attends church and lodge regularly, looks afl er her business affairs, visits with friends, and takes trips whenever the opportunity pre sents itself. She has many keepsakes linK ed with happy days gone by. She has a scrapbook with clippings regarding family affairs and other items of interest; photo graphs of children and grand children and great-grandchild ren occupy a prominent place, treasured pieces of china and glassware may be seen in a glass front cabinet; a sunny window is filled with thriving plants at testing to her love for flowers, and a ready smile for. those who call reveals her friendliness for folks in general. In a reminiscent mood, Mrs. Walmer went back to childhood days when in 1879, a youngster 7-years-okl, she came to Ne braska and to the vicinity of \Vhat is now Ewing with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs George Jones, who later be came so well-known in Ewing, O’Neill and Holt county as well as in Orchard and other Ante lope county towns. The first home was a com fortable sod house. 12 miles north of Ewing and 17 miles from O'Neill. The house was large enough, recalls Mrs. Wal mer, to shelter a goodly num ber is occasion demanded. One night 27 persons slept there, among them other pioneers looking for a location. Asked about schools, Mrs. Wal mer replied that at first there was no public school, but since her mother had been a school teacher, she obtained text books and taught her own children, later, a sod house pro vided a place for a public school. Desks were provided by planks secured around the walls and with other planks for seats. The pupils sat with their faces to the wall and, when they wished to leave their seats, they had to swing their feet over the top of the plank in order to get out. Slates took the place of black boards. This first school was ('ailed the Lambert school. "The first sermon preached in that neighborhood was in the Junes sod house by Rev. Bartley Blain, later to become county superintendent of Holt county.” recalls Mrs. Walmer. “And,” she continued, “the first dance in that neighborhood was in my father s house, too. And when he built his new barn, the first barn dance was held there, with S. W. Brion, of Ewing, doing the fiddling.” Oldtimers remember what a good fiddler he was and how folks enjoyed dancing to his merry tunes. —— Dr. Biid’s Gifts Placed in Home PAGE — The belated Christ mas and birthday anniversary gifts for Dr. E.
