Before sitting down to supper Rev. E.
u. Neill, of this city, one of the. first
Presbyterian ministers OF the state,
asked blessing, and then made few
remarks suitable to the occasion. lie
referred to the happy celebration that
had brought so many of the old fellows
together. and referred to the first issue
of the Pioneer in st. Paul in 1S49. in
which lie said he remembered having
seen the advertisements of such firms as
the st. Paul hotel, b. w. Bronson,
Surveyor and Justice of the Peace A. l..
Larpenteur and others.
He spoke of Nathan Myrick's COM
mission house business, and also said
that he occupied the first cabin in town
that had a birch-bark roof. He INDUCED
in many little pleasaDtries, and then
reminding his audience that they ought
to ever remember to thank the Author of
all good for His many gifts, lie ended by
remarking that Minnesota has gained
for herself the reputation of being so
favored i'll every respect that even the
holy father of one branch of the church
had declared himself to be quite in love
with her. He then read a set of resolu-
lions that had been forwarded to MIR.

The costumes worn by many Of the

ter, wore an exquisite toilet of black and
red brOcade, with black lace trimmings.
Mrs. Shepard, Mrs. Myricll's oldest
daughter, wore black satin, with tur-
quOise trimming.
Sketch OF the Hosts.
Mr.. Myrick's history aud that of sew
eral other members OF his family is
interviewer with the early history of
Minnesota and Wisconsin. He was
born in WeStport, Essex county, New
York, July Z, 1922. He was one OF eight
children, four of whom aftePward be-
came residents of this state. MIR. My
rick is of good New England stock. his
grandfather, BraZille Myrick, of Yer
mont, having served i'll the Revolution.
AT the age of eighteen he came West
with SIO0 which he had saved, and his
lifei from that time on was one of
excitement and adventure. 1t was in 1913
that MIR. MyricK went East for bis
bride. On August II of that year he
married Miss Rebecca E. ISmon, at
Charlotte, Vt. Since that time the lives
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Myrick have seen
many changes. They were among the
earliest settlers in st. Paul. and it is
hard to realize in these times that they
once lived i'll the wilderness. They
have had eight children, of whom only
three are living, and in st. Paul.
'Pen PIctures.''
From the Pen Pictures" of the late
Maj. Newson we make the following
extract: ;
That tall man VINO has been travel
ing our streets for quarter of a cent
ury and over, and who, to use a border
expression, has been a 'ruStler,' is
the well-bnown Nathan Myrick, who was
born in New York state in 1922. and
who, at the age of eighteen came to La
Crosse and laid out that town. a good
slice OF which he still owns. Mr. My
rick entered largely into numbering in
Wisconsin in The years of 1871
up TO 1S4S, when he came TO
st. Paul and engaged extensively
in the Indian trade. having at one time
stores in st. Peter, Traverse de Sioux,
Winnebago agency, Yellow Medicine,
Redwood agency, Big Stone Lake and
at Lake Traverse. Mf. Myrick was also
at one period largely interested i'll prop
ertv at Lake Superior. At the time of
the Indian outbreak all his stores at the
above-named places were destroyed by
the savages.;
