A neighborhood romance was
what they called it when Pearl
Lulu Moler began keeping com
pany with John M. Grutsch in
Rock Falls township north of
O’Neill.
Miss Moler was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Moler,
homesteaders who had moved in
from Iowa. She was born De
cember 12, 1885, in a sodhouse
13 miles northwest of O’Neill.
Mr. Grutsch was born at Strat
ford, Ont., Can., September 20.
1880 and, at the age of four,
moved with his parents onto a
"homestead relinquishment”
which the Canadian couple had
purchased.
Married at O'Neill
The wedding took place March
27, 1907, at the Methodist church
in O’Neill and the Reverend Ab
bott performed the rite in
,i quiet and simple ceremony.
Wednesday, March 27, 1957, the
Grutsches received their friends
and relatives at open-house at
the Fellowship hall in First Pres
byterian church here in obser
vance of their golden wedding
date.
The anniversary cake was
decorated by Mrs. Lyle Vequist.
Mrs. James McNulty poured.
Mrs. Frank Sullivan had charge
of the guest book. Other nieces
cut the cake and helped with the
serving.

Mr. Grutsch's ancestral farm—
one that had been homesteaded
by his grandmother, Anna Gru
tseh, in the late seventies. The
place is located I3t£ miles north
west of here and they still re
gard it as home, although they j
have spent the past six years in |
O'Neill living in retirement at
128 East Fremont.
Following the death of his
mother, the family returned
to Canada for two years. Other
wise, Holt has been his home for
70 out of his 76 years.
Mrs. Grutsch’s brother, David
Molcr, lives on the original Moi
led family farm and, occasionally,
Mrs. Grutsch revisits the site
of the old sodhouse.
Big Sod House
"It was a big one and a good
one,” she recalls. "Most of the
families lived in sodhouses in
those days. Curtains formed the
partitions. Ours was big enough
that it used to be a place for the
folks of the community to gathe.'.
“I spent 10 happy and comfort
able years in that sodhouse,” she
remembers. “The soddie used to
weather the storms in good j
shape, but one spring day there j
was a terrific wind. When th •
storm had passed we found half
of dad’s vest hanging on the out
side, half on the inside. Appar

roof momentarily”

Mrs. Grutsch's living brothers
are David Moler of O’Neill, Al

Moler of Wall, S. D. Two of her
sisters and two brothers are de

Mr. Grutsch has one living sis
ter, Mrs. William Eckert, of
Stratford, Ont. Three years ago
he visited Stratford. One sister
and one brother are deceased.
Enjoy Good Health
Both Mr. and Mrs. Grutsch
enjoy good health and anxiously
looked forward to their golden
wedding day. Prior to the cele
bration, they admitted the excite
ment was similar to that of their
wedding day.
Mr. Grutsch served a number
of years as treasuier of rural
school district 150 and served sev
eral terms as township assessor
and road overseer.
“I guess I’ve been mostly a
uemocrat,” he mused when asked
about his political leanings.
"But she,” pointing at his wife,
“was the daughter of a ‘red-hot
populist’!”

Miss Birmingham Reports
Highlight of the annual meet

ARC activities abroad presented
by Miss Mary Louise (“Lu”)
Birmingham, daughter of Mr.

O’Neill.
Last month she was recalled
from Nancy, France, on emer
gency leave because of the ill
ness 0(f her father.
At Nancy, about 200 miles east
of Paris, she has been serving
as assistant center director.
“There are six ARC centers!
under the European headquar-j
! ters,” she told her audience. |
“Three are in France and three
are in Moraceo.”
Miss Birmingham, appearing in
ARC dress uniform, elaborated
! on the activities of the centers
: for about 30 minutes. She said
! they represent the American Red
| Cross’s big peacetime effort in
that portion of the world.
"The centers are open to ser
vicemen, their dependents and
their invited guests from 10 a. m., j
to 11 p. m. The centers are well
equipped for recreation of all
types and fill a big void in the
lives of the Americans who have
been transplanted into a foreign
i land.
Hostels Are ‘Meccas’
“’'/he centers are veritable mec
cas for the troops, particularly
the draft age group,” she declar
ed. “But all Americans, wives
and children of servicemen, have
come to rely a great deal on this
service. Hostel and dining ser
vices are provided.
“It is an off-base home away
from home,” Miss Birmingham
said of the Nancy cepter. Two
more centers are in the planning
stage. The centers are open seven
days a week and require huge
civilian staffs to keep them in
operation and to make them
clean, comfortable and whole
some.
In the Nancy area there are
two American army units and
one air force installation. Oc

ginning of the story.
January 28 the club voted a
community-wide contest for a
project idea for the club to work
on this year. A prize of $5 was
posted for the best idea. These
suggestions were read and judg
ed by the club members at the
February meeting.
On February 28, the club again
met and the ideas for the project
contest—of which there were
eight—were written on the
blackboard and numbered.
It was decided to vote on all
eight—then continue voting un
til one idea got a majority.
Mrs. Anthony’s suggestion on
polio shots won. It was her hope
that all children in the Inman
trade territory could get polio
shots.
She received the $5 prize, but
generously declined to accept the
money, saying she would leave
it in the club treasury to help de
fray expenses of the project.
Committee Named
The club then voted that the
chairman appoint a committee of
three, with Mrs. Anthony as
chairman to promote the idea.
Mrs. James M. McMahan and
Mrs. Earl L. Watson were ap
pointed.
Within a few days a survey
had been made and it was found
there were in the neighborhood
of one hundred children and
young adults who had not re
ceived polio shots.
S. Alan Rouse, director, divi
sion of poliomyelitis, state de
partment of health, was contacted
and the club was informed that
any civic-minded, non-profit or
ganization or group could spon
sor a poliomyelitis immunization
clinic if a local physician was
willing to cooperate and give the
injections.
The Anthony family had pre
viously received polio shots from
Dr. W. G. Fletcher of Orchard.
He was contacted and he said
he would be “happy to help out”
and give the shots free of charge
to such a group, and the state
department was to furnish the
Salk vaccine at no cost to the
designated physician upon his
request, providing the sponsor
ing group agreed to keep com
plete records of all injections giv
en by number and age.
Miss Barbara Brunckhorst,
commercial teacher in the In
man public school, and her class
typed up forms and cards to be
sent to parents.
Miss Brunckhorst, herself a
victim of polio, teaches from a
wheelchair.
On Friday, March 15, a cara
van of cars went to Orchard and
95 children and six young adults
received polio immunization.
The group plans to go bad. on
Friday, April 5, for the second
shots, and sometime next Novem
ber the program will be com
pleted.
