Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1893-03-23

We had a pleasant call from
Messrs. h. B. Imsdahl and M. Swan
son, two Of the most prominent Nor
wegian settlers OF the lower Snake.
They report every thing as going on
nicely in their neighborhood. Come
again gentlemen.
(Mr. Imsdahl for many years kept
stretching wire and building fence on
his farm on the lower Snake, until in
time, he became the most expert po-
litical wire puller in the county, and
now he has fenced in the whole
county and built a strong wall
around the court house. Mr.. Inns
dahl ia the present efficient register
OF deeds, and is serving his second
term. MIR. NJ. Swanson is the father
OF Henry Swanson OF this city
and he still resides on his beautiful
farm on the lower Snake.)
One item gives an account OF a
social at the residence OF George Nc
Crea, at which 49, 5 was raised tow
ards an organ fund. Another item
which is headed "That Sleigh Ride"

noon. Another local tells OF a social

was the browning feature OF the oc-
casion.
A letter to Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Sny-
der from q friend at Dundas, Mimi,
is also published, and we re-publish
that part OF it which refers to the

and last fall he entered into another
contest which he also won, and by
virtue Of that received a. warranty
deed to the fat office OF sheriff OF
Marshall county. A final proof no.
tice is published for Archy Brown of
Wanger, brother OF the Professor.
An item quoted from a Crookston
paper says, "Supt. Wood Of the Key

inshing and making ready for

days and among the business men
OF that town we find the names OF

Carrese was the coroner, and O.
Barker, justice OF the peace, an office
which, we believe, he has held contin-
ually since. and still holds.
AS our readers will note many
changes have taken place in Warren
during the dozen years that have
elapsed since then. Many Of the bus
mess men of that time have removed
and others have come to take their
places. Some have crossed over to
the other shore. Change is the inn
mutable law OF nature and must
come. There are many familiar faces
from those early days with lis yet,
and they are among our best citi-
zens. Let ns hope that the next doz-
Ell yenrs will bring to MI increased
prosperity and happiness!
