Dignity on Wheels
Hon. John V. Colegrove commenced the year 116 of the American Independence with a brand new suit of clothes. 'Squire John looked at himself in the glass. The suit looked well, fitted well, felt well, became him, and in short the 'squire looked charmingly. But he not only looked charmingly he felt that way. It was a feeling of serene happiness which the 'squire hadn't experienced for a long time. He seemed to like this feeling and concluded to experience it some more. He kept on experiencing and at last got gay. Now, as the 'squire is naturally of a melancholy turn of mind this gayety affected him greatly, he himself didn't just exactly know how. This much, however, he did not know, viz: that something had to be done, and the 'squire actually did something, 9snother astonishing occurence). the first thing in the line of amusement that suggested itself to the 'squire's mind was a bicycle ride. Of course he had never ridden one of these animals: but this fact didn't discourage him, for he reasoned, and reasoned logically, that as he had never before worn a first class suit of clothes, and yet the very first effort in that direction ahd been crowned with success, therefore what would be the matter with a bicycle? Why nothing." Without any further deliberation the 'squire went and hired a wheel, and not being fond of notoriety he took the creature to a back alley. It was with considerable trouble that John managed to get on it, but strange as it may seem after a spin of less than ten steps it was without any troublew whatever that the machine managed to get on him. The bicycle rode the 'squire until some sympathizing friends, that is - of the 'squire's, not the bicycle's - took it off him. The 'squire's new pantaloons are now at the tailor shop undergong a series of repairs. For further particulars it might be well to state that his honor reached the repair shop by the aid of a couple of newspapers in lieu of less transparent nether garments.

Train
Stalled by SnowDrifts
North Dakota
Passengers suffer from the cold and hunger
One man attempted suicide
and hastened the rescue of the entire party - sidetracked four days and five nights
St Paul, April 3 - Passengers arriving on a Great Northern train, due last friday, tell of being snowbound for four days and fie nights on the prairies of North Dakota in the midst of the worst blizzard the Northwes has seen in many years, with only food enough for two frugal meals a day, and with such a small amount of fuel that the ladies had to wrap themselves in blankets and the men to wear their overcoats day and night to keep from freezing. The train was completely lost to the world. Late Thursday afternoon it picked its way out of Williston in the hope of being able to reach Monit, 14 miles away, before night. Almost midway, at a little stopping place called Ray where there is only a siding, a coal shed, and awater tank the train stalled. The engineer thought he could run the engine back to Williston and get aid, and, taking the conductor with him started on the trip. The lone engine was stuck in a dried in a cut a short distance out of the town and had to be abandoned. This left the train of eight coaches and about 250 passengers alone on the siding and with all communication cut off. Then started the long siege, during which the cold had to be borne and hunger stifled. There was much suffering and there was an incipient riot the first day. the second class passengers insited that they must have as much or more food than the others, and as they were in larger numbers and had more ravenous appetites it was difficult to confine them to their quota. Many were not willing, as they first class passengers insisted, that the women and children should be taken care of first, but after some argument they were prevailed upon to yield. Monday evening, Prof. Colegrove of the University of Washington, who was enroute East on a vacation trip and who had been despondent and morose, attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. There was a physician on the train but he had no facilities for performing the necessary operation and it ws absolutely necessary to get into communication with one of the neighboring towns. In their desperation the passengers broke open everything in the train's chest, and in the conductor's box found a telegraph instrument. A young man, an electrician, on the train faced the blizzard and tapped one of the wires and attached the instrument. He knew little about telegraphy and notified the operators at both Minot and Williston of what had occured. From each place a snow plow was started in front of an engine bearing a surgeon. The one from Minot after a hard nights work reached the siding early the following morning and the wounded man was removed on the first train to St. Paul where he was cared for at the City Hospital. The almost famished passengers who had suffered from the cold and exposure were given food and warm berths in the first train pushed through the drifts. The rotary plow made one trip through the drift between Ray and Minot, but the snow piled so rapidly that it was necessary for the rotary to pass through and then precede the train through the cut. Prof. Colegrove was brought to st. Paul yesterday. The jugular vein is partially severed and it is not believed he can recover. He has been ill from too close application to work, and had decided to spend a month with relatives and friends in Hamilton, N.Y.

>From what I can ascertain, Frederic Arthur Colegrove b. 1911 d 1990 (and son of Herman C Colegrove of Great Bend, Kansas) went by the name of Arthur. His son, I believe, went by Arthur, jr. My only proof is the geographical location, previous newspaper articles, and census enumerations for the area. However, I believe that Frederick (Fred) arthur and Anna Gabel were the parents of an Edith Alice Colegrove mentioned in the following article (they were married in 1933). I recall seeing several other articles about an Edith Alice Colegrove that performed in dance recitals under the guidance of her mother. There is another Edith Alice Colegrove in this geographical area and a sister to Frederic Arthur but she would have been too old to be the lady mentioned here:

Winner of AAUW Scholarship
The 3150 AAUW scholarship for the current year has been awarded to Edith alice Colegrove, 17, daughter of Mr and Mrs Arthur Colegrove 2722 17th. She is a senior at Great Bend high school and was chosen by the board of the local branch of the American Association of University Women. Presentation of the annual award was made by Mrs E.L. fuller, branch president at the high school, recognition assembly this morning. Selection of the award winner for 1953 was not based on scholarship alone, although the candidates considered were required to ahve a B average. The fund is presented to a senior girl who plans to attend an AAUW approved college and has interests in activities other than actual classes, as well as the individuals own attitude and efforts in obtaining an education. Miss Colegrove plans to enter a five-year nursing course at the University of Kansas this fall. During her high school education she has been amember of Kayettes Future Homemakers board and participated in dramatics and the modern dance class.

Father of Great Bender Preached Death Service
Russell - "My father preached the burial service for Chris Carter". Herman colegrove 1519 Washington, Great Bend, said this week after reading a story in the Russell Daily News pertaining to the disinterrment of the body of the man who died 58 years ago in a well cave-in. Colegrove's father H.P. Colegrove was a minister at the Bunker Hill Methosist Church and was called in to read the services over the well-head, below which the 42 year-old farmer was trapped by quicksands. This week relatives of Carter hired bulldozers and power shovels to extricate the body of the farmer. Herman colegrove said he was in the Spanish American War during the time the tragedy occurred.

Spanish - American Veterans to Meet
Four members of Company M, 20th Kansas Regiment, all veterans of the Spanish - American War, will hold a reunion Friday at 1 pm when they gather for dinner at Ulanda's dining room. Herman Colegrove, Great Bend, said that the reunion was started when Edwin J. Laird, retired Methodist Minister of Des Moines, Ia., visited his brother, Edgard Laird, of 901 Baker, Colegrove then called other members of the regiment in nearby towns - George W. Smith of Chase and L.W. Hubbell of Jetmore. Fifteen survivors are all that remain of the 106 men who served under Col. Frederick Funston from June 1868 to Oct. 10, 1899. The men were the students at Salina Normal University and all went to the Phillipines where they served at the front most of the time, according to Colegrove.
To put a twist on things, Could Robert G Colegrove's wife, Pamela, and the Wife of Charles Colegrove be related? The maiden last names seem very similar and could possibly be a newspaper typographical error... The first name of Mrs Charles Colegrove and Pamela's father are the same, being "John", but the newspaper articles are 30 years apart. Hmmmm Any ideas?
