Gone are the sweet prairie Williams and blue bells of Mrs. Ault's girlhood but they are still very vivid memories of her youth at Cedar Creek. Another sweet smell lingers in the memory of her daughter, Lorene Cummins that of the perfume Lew Myers, the drug gist, always sprinkled on the girls when they came in his store. "We felt like queens," comments Mrs. Cummins, Cedar Creek's Doctor Duff was one of the county's best known physicians. "No night was too dark nor no mud too deep to stop him," says Mrs. Ault. The first schoolhouse was about a mile out of town near Vic Stoehr's place. Hattie Hol mes taught several terms there. August Snyder later moved the school building to Cedar Creek where he used it for a hardware store. The building later be came the drug store and final ly the Ladies Aid building for which it is still used. Mrs. Ault went to Gretna to relatives to attend high school. She then taught school at Heil School. She had 4 children. Berniece, now a children's librarian with a Masters from Columbia, has taught In Cass County schools, as well as other schools all over the state. Jack Ault operates Ault store in Cedar Creek. Lorene Cummins, a young looking five time grandmother, lives in Lincoln and works at the State House in the Depart ment of Education. ' Kenneth gave his life in! World War II. He was naviga tor on a B-29. Lorene, reminiscing on her childhood in Cedar Creek, com mented that there were two passenger trains a day into the town. They could go to Omaha at 9 a.m. and return at 4 p.m. but it was a rare treat when they did. One particularly exicting mo ment was when Chris Metzger's buffalo got loose and terrorized the town. The Ault family was having Sunday dinner when the shaggy fellow came and stuck his head in the gate as if he'd like to be invited in. McBride was in the butcher shop then and the children lov ed to go in to get the hog blad ders for balloons. Mrs. Ault has a sister, Mrs. George Sayles, living in Platts mouth. Another sister, Mrs. Emma Hopple is County Super intendent at Bridgeport in Mor ril County. Many years have passed since the 76-year-old, Mrs. Ault (who now lives with Mrs. Cummins) hiked to Metzger's Ponds. Fire has taken many of the Cedar Creek buildings. Cars have taken many of its people away but memory stirs up little dust swirls around the feet of bare foot children oblivious to the cares of tomorrow, knowing lit tle of the yesterdays already gone yet happy in the simple country pleasures of little "In helder's Station" that pleased their grandparents.
