Real Time is
Enjoyed at the
Mynard Picnic
Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wiles I
Scene of a Delightful Gather
ing Tuesday Afternoon
On Tuesday afternoon the mem
bers of the Mynard Community Club
met at the grove of Mr. and Mrs.
Mvron Wiles a few miles west of
Mynard, where they had a most en
joyable picnic, which included the
entire community as there were some
thing over three hundred In attend
ance. The Mynard Community club
is a most progressive association, and
includes all the people of Mynard
and surrounding territory, and with
the organization they have many fea
tures for the benefit of the entirr
community which the club embraces
having a community hall in the base
ment of the Mynard church, and have
maintained their activities for many
years which has consisted of relief
work for this and other communitie?
as well as missions, and programs and
entertainments of all kinds.
The picnic which they gave on
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Wiles is in keeping with
their idea and work. Judge Ja.ne
T. Begley was the principal speaker,
hi? auuri-ss being in line with
n unity work and was most enthusias
tically received. Tiie Farmers unian
band of Louisville furnished the
music, and many were tne contests
which furnished amousement for all
present, a horse shoe pitching court
for those who loved that sport, a ball
game in which two teams were chosen
Richard Livingston winning by a tal
ly of 7 over the other captioned by
Lawrence Leonard, who made a close
score of six runs. There were foot
races, by the men, the boys and the
ladies, but the one which elicited the
most amusement and received the
greatest""applause, was the one when
the farmer's wives pulled the men
over the dead line, and received the
Kreat applause.
Another fact which had given the
men some ease of mind was a con
test of throwing rolling pins at a
dummy suspended from a tree
whether to give the women practice
of the proff that the wayward hus
band was in no danger is not known.
However, no woman was able to hit
the dummy with her weapon, the
they stood but a few feet away. With
al it was a most enjoyable gathering.

Death removed another interest
ing Otoe county pioneer shortly af

gust 20, when Mrs. Emma McCarthy,
77, of 203 Fifth street passed away.
Mrs. McCarthy, widow of the late
John McCarthy, prominent in Wyom
ing precinct's history, had sustained
a stroke of paralysis three days be
fore her death.
She was born March 22, 1851, at
Wood River, 111., the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Grosjohn, a fam
ily whose history is also linked with
that of Otoe county and southeastern
Nebraska. In 1857 the Illinoisans
came to Nebraska territory, when
the daughter was six years old. Here
she obtained a pioneer girl's educa
tion and on March 4, 1866, was
married to John McCarthy.

wedding the young people crossed
the plains by wagon, after the man-!
ner of all travelers of that day and '
reached Black Hawk and Central'
City near Denver, Colo., arriving at j

about 30 years, then coming to Ne-J

ty,, a period of more than 70 years. 1
she had taken an active part in its
social and business affairs. Her hus-!
band died when her children were
young. With remarkable ability she'
brought them up. Her unfailing good
judgment and matronly solicitude for
her children and others in her'
neighborhood contributed much to
their future welfare and encouraged
them to be of splendid service to
their community and its people.!
Wyoming people speak kindly of Mrs. '
McCarthy and . her passing was a
great shock to those among whom
she had lived so long.
She is survived by the following
children: F. H. and C. G. McCarthy,
Union, Neb.; Nettie McCarthy, Lin-.
coin; L, F. McCarthy, Omaha; John
