The third annual reunion of the Old
Settlers Association of Kandiy obi
county took place at New London
June 10. 1t was a most enjoyable &C.
casion for the original old settlers as
we'll as for the crowds of people who
attended who would not come under
that category. The picnic was by
long odds the greatest event of the
kind in the history of the association,
and the increased interest shown by
the public was as gratifying to the

HOOK OF Is Indians passed and killed

ous to him that with his friend Elk

the Yellow Medicine agency to pro-
test when word reached them that the
same Indiansparty had killed a family
at Acton, only 1Omiles away and they
were obliged TO fee in, an opposite d.
rection5 forth lives. Mr.. Wicklund
went on to ssll of the early settlers of
Fahlun and Lake Elizabeth, expressed
his pleasure at being present at the
meeting and closed with the hope that
all the old settlers might at least meet
in heaven, where many had already
preceded them.
Editor E. r. Lawson, of the New
London Times, was then called upon
and read poem composed by
"Snooks". thread as follows:

That as worthy of praise is our pioneer bold
When these fair lands of ours were but

He broke up the lands, and he titled we'll
For his arm it was strong from hard honest

For he looked to the future and he worked
with will.
But those days were days of hard struggles
When the warwhoop of Indians was heard

And now in old age he reviews with just

Then salute: Lift your hats my young
Whenever you meet an old pioneer gray,
Though his form may be bent from the
weight of gone years
He is more worthy he than half score OF
peers:
Mrs. Flora Kec was then called
upon to respond to toast in behalf
of the wives ofthe pioneers. She said:
kind friends: feel it an honor to greet you
in behalf Of each and all of this assembly. We
! feel the purpose of our meeting here today is
of a twofold nature. The first may be to re-
view our past experiences giving and receiv
ing sympathy and encouragement from one

true and noble hearts of our pioneer men anG
women-tried by an experience which tells OF
lives well nigh spent in the faithful struggle tc
realize more fully the meaning of our beloved
Declaration of independence and enjoy those
blessings of liberty which are due every indi

by blood but has been sustained and fosteret
by the most persevering diligence, hardship
and discharge of unainching duty. The early
settlers of Kandiyohi county may well De
proud of their history-for will it not compare
with that of the Pilgrim Fathers? There are

and to break one acre of ground for each,
and then we started for the land Office at
st. Clopd, where we learned that the land
we had taken vas held as railroad land.
Even went to Wisconsin and to Saltwater.
came back in August and lived alone for
three weeks. Ny nearest neighbor vas J.
W. Burdtck at Green Lake, What long
weeks! Then came Thos. 0smund5on, John
and Hedge Holland and John Iyeeson, the
latter who was killed in 81 by the Indians
Ole Halvorson was also there that fall to
take land. In 1850 quite number of settlers
came in: Chris. EuRen. Erick Kapperud,
Sven Boreen. John Halvorson and his par
ents. Ole Dahl and the Peterson boys. In
1850 Even came back with his family. Ole
Knudson, Even O. Glesne, the two Broberg
families and Lundberg with his large fami-
~. In 1851 quite number of settlers came
to take land and also in 1867, but we're not
allowed to remain long on account of the
Indian outbreak. In all these, years the
Indians came around every fall but they
awere peaceable and no one was alarmed over
their presence.
Il will tell you how Norway Lake was
named. After we had got through with the
mosquito band, we tried to play smart
Alexis one day. We went down to the lake
and cut two dry trees and made raft and
cut two long poles and then we were ready
to sail. "A strong south wind caught our
craft and bowed US into deep water where
our poles were too short. We had to sit
down on the logs holding them together
with our feet, and drifted with the wind all
day. While In that ridiculous position we
named the lake Norway Lake and the name
has chung to it to this day. The story of the
outbreak will come later in . pamphlet"
= The POSTMASTER then called upon
Rev. E. p. Wicklund to respond to
the toast of EARLY. days in South
Kandiyohi county" Mr.. Wicklund
responded in an extemperaneous ad-
dress. He came to the county in Oct.
1858 and located in what ia now the
town Of Lake Lillian on the banks of
the lake. Was obliged to wade q
slough to get there. The water was
very high in those days. He told of

as follows: .==s:sssE = ss.=.s :
Hail to the Pioneers! Hail to the Pioneers
Hip Hurrah! Hip Hurrah!
They cleared up the forest trees
And broke up the plains and hills
And made Of the wilderness glorious land.
Hard and many were the trials and privations
In those old stirring days of long ago.
Awful, hideous, were the shrill warwhoops
When the redskins on the war path did 60.
Early and late they worked
Seldom their duty shirked
Hallowed these lands with honest sweat of

Honor the pioneer,

The following letter received from
Rev. Andrew Jackson, who had been
expected to be present was read:
Rush Point, MIMI, June g. 1907
Mr.. Louis Larson:
Dear Old Friend:-I am thankful for the in
vitation to take part in the exercises of the
Old Settlers Association on the nineteenth of
June, but on account of my poor health I am
unable to be present. Respectfully yours,
ANDREW JACKSON.
The president of the association,
Mr.. II. Blakely. responded to the SUBJ

wheels, on the sides Of which were
tackled coon skins. At the close Of
the mornings exercises the board
seats of the old wagon were filled. by
old settlers who were given q genuine
old-time ride to the town hall where
dinner was to be served. The ride
was enjoyed by the participants, jolts
and all, because no doubt it reminded
them of old times when the ox-wagon
was an approved style of locomotion
IN this country. The rig and the en-
phatic commands of ''Gee," "Haw"
and whoa attracted q good deal of
attention. Ok teams are becoming SO
scarce here, where fifteen or twenty
years ago they were the regular thing,
that the younger generation look upon
them as curiosities.
The town hall, where the ladies of
New London served dinner to the old
settlers and their wives, was nicely
decorated with the national colors and
with green leaves. Pictures of WASH
ington and Lincoln adorned the wall
back of the stage. Covers had been
laid for ninety and the tables were
fully occupied. The keen appetites of
the old settlers did ample justice to
the good victuals prepared. The fol-
lowing persons were among those
seated at the tables:

wife, H. Dahl and wife. E. P. Wicklund.

in substance said:
