Page Man, 90, Is
Veteran Door Rapper
(Continued from page 1)
He had to chase the horse by
the sound of rustling leaves.
The meandering nag finally
waltzed through the barn door
with the eight-foot rake attached.
Now in the twilight of life, Mr.
Downey regrets he blasphemed
against the horse. His father, who
heard some of the utterings, nev
er scolded.
While still living at home at
Star, he was with another man
after a load of hay that balmy
morning of January 12, 1888,
when the noted blizzard struck
in all its fury. Almost as soon as
it hit they became lost and
followed the edge of the mead
ow, they hoped, knowing that
somewhere nearby there should
be a dugout.
Believing he smelled smoke,
he told the man to stay with the
horses and he would attempt to
track the odor of the smoke. He
had gone only about three feet
when he walked into the side of
the dugout and found the door.
The occupant of the dugout
took care of the horses and they
stayed on until the storm abated.
Two very unusual things were
Lewis Downey . . . native of
Wisconsin.
—r-~-rrmrriinniimiini[«nrnriiimiBiiiii—m
Mrs. Downey . . . the former
Bertha Tavener on her wed
ding day.
noted about that storm, Mr.
Downey recalls. .He does not re
member lightning, but declares
there seemed to be a “terrific
amount of electric current” pres
ent during that smothering, chok
ing, whirling, freezing snowfall.
“The air seemed charged with
electricity.”
He noted as they groped their
way to their home the next day
in the 40-below temperature the
snow had not drifted in places.
It had simply been carried away,
leaving bare prairie.
Mr. Downey spent 17 years
canvassing the country for the
Arlington nurseries, selling shirts,
ties and socks as a sideline.
One day he became fright
ened by a dog. He hurled his
suitcase at the canine and had
the pleasure of seeing the an
imal scoot away. The dog
watched while he picked up his
widely scattered samples.
On another occasion he was
ascending open porch steps at a
house in Atkinson. The dog of
the house stuck his snoot through
an opening and took a hefty
chomp on Mr. Downey’s shoe.
The teeth didn’t penetrate the
leather but the contents of the
suitcase wer again distributed
because Mr. Downey took a fall.
When Lewie was quite small
and trailed his mother around,
he had the misfortune to fall into
the wash tub of water. Resusci
tation was accomplished by
draping him over a barrel. This
was a simple method used by
pioneers.
The same thing happened to
their son, Ora. He fell into soap
suds. The doctor lived next door
and he obligingly shook Ora as
free of suds as he could. Mr.
Downey remembers that Ora
blew soap bubbles for some time
before normal bleathing was re
sumed.
Mrs. Downey, the former Ber
tha Tavener, and her parents took
up a homestead on the place that
today is the home of her broth
er, Elmer. Her father, James
Thomas Tavener, brought the
family here from Girard, Kans.
Bertha attended school at In
man. She believes she graduat
ed about 1895—the time of the
first graduating exercises at In
man.
Mrs. Downey insists that
nothing exciting or interesting
has ever happened in her life.
She has simply worked and
taken care of her family where
ever Mr. Downey’s business
took them.
She worked at the Page school
on the hot lunch committee with
Mary Darr, Hattie Carson, Ethel
Shearer and Maggie Anderson
when that plan was in the exper
imental stage.
A heart attack was the decid
ing factor in the move from the
acreage to the small house.
Mr. Downey was nearly blind
for seven years preceding an op
eration on his eyes for inward
cataracts. Since the surgery, he
has had better vision than he ever
had. With the passing years, he
has become deaf and a hearing
aid helps, although there are
times when they have to resort
to writing as a means of com
munication.
The Downeys are quite active.
Mr. Downey celebrated his 90th
birthday anniversary on July 24.
A sister, Mrs. May Minton of
Independence, Mq., and Mr.
Downey are the only remaining
members of his family. Mrs.
Downey has three sisters, Mrs.
Grace Lamason of Norfolk, Mrs.
W. P. Evans of South Gate, Calif.,
and Mrs. Zora Carroll of Bell
Gardens, Calif.; also one broth
er, Elmer of Page. They came
from a family of 10 children.
The Downeys are the parents
of two sons, Dale of South Gate,
Calif., and Ora of Norfolk. A
daughter died at the age of 18
months during a seige of double
pneumonia.
