LAKE CITY NEWS
Raspberries are beginning to ripen in this locality. There will be a heavy
crop here this year. The cherry crop is very light and robins are taking
what cherries there are.
"Buster" Carter has been nursing a case of the shingles for the past two
weeks. It seems to us a carpenter would know shingles belong on a roof
instead of the body. Ha!
LAKE CITY COUPLE ARE MARRIED
Mr. Kenneth Weidner and Miss Leona Hamilton surprised their many friends
here last Tuesday by going over to Judge Franklin’s and making a life
contract.
The "tin can brigade" followed them to the Justice’s office and were
witnesses to the ceremony. After the serenade the crowd were treated to
candy.
Kenneth is the son of Mrs. Luther Vernon and is well known here; his bride
is a relative of Mrs. William Heard and has made her home at the heard
residence for about eighteen months. Both have many friends here, who wish
them a world of happiness.
They have taken up their residence in the Streif house, just east of the
church and are now at home to their friends.
MOVE TO FORT BIDWELL
Mr. and Mrs. John Reynolds and Mrs. Elizabeth Miller moved to Bidwell first
of the week, where they will reside in the future. John is taking charge of
the new butcher shop recently opened at that place by W. H. Hussa, of the
Surprise Valley Meat Market.
BROKEN ARMS
During the past two weeks, there has been, what we might call, an epidemic
of broken arms and dislocated shoulders in Surprise Valley and Lake City
seems to be the center of the epidemic. Little Marie Garrett suffered a
broken arm a short time ago when she fell; the small son of Cornelius
Steward also broke his arm in a fall and last week, Sam Sweeney dislocated
his shoulder bone.
Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Miller, were in from "Home Camp" Ranch, Nevada, Monday,
to attend the funeral of Mrs. Miller’s grandfather, I. D. Royce. (4:1)
Mrs. John Spalding and Mrs. Al Byerle of Susanville are visiting their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Bush, of this place, this week.
NEWS NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK
We overlooked to mention last week that the good old stork delivered a
7-pound baby boy to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Smith, on Sunday, June
21st; this makes two children in this family, both boys. Congratulations.
As we were about to close our notes, word reached New Pine Creek that the
grand old stork left a baby girl to Mr. and Mrs. Art Altenburg; Mrs.
Altenburg was formerly Miss Dorothy Vernon. The baby weighed seven-pounds;
Mother Dorothy and baby are fine, heartiest congratulations folks.
