We with pleasure continue our
notes OF last week as to the pleasing
people of Willow township. The very
fact that they are far from the towns
make them more neighborly with
each other. and so the community
pirit is built up.
We closed our narrative last week
down in the southwest part Of the
township. 1t is in this locality that
two; branches OF the Willow meet. and
the little valleys give a picturesque
look to the landscape not noted in
some parts of the township. 1t is in
the this locality where the Cue family
is found on fine farms. The Cue
name has always stood for good citi-
zenship.
The Fourth of July was not one OF
| JOY to the home of Mrs. Thos. Devine
living on section 20. On that day her
husband. who had been sick for many a
weary month was buried. The funer-
al was held in the Catholic church at
Charter Oak. He was born in Ire
land. and So years old at the time of
his death. He was married in Gin
ton county to Miss Sarah McGinnis,
and they lived IN our county fourteen
years. They have ten living chill
dren. the youngest of whom is boy
of eight. The widow and her girls
and boys mean to take up the burdens
of life bravely.
On section II is the quarter section
of C. Coleman. He has been out in
Nebraska this year leaving the farm
in charge of his capable son Alfred.
We hear Mr.. Coleman will soon be
back in Willow again. The neighbor
to the east is Mr.. Hunter who has a
nice farm home back from the road
and most interesting family. On
section 30 on the east side. is the
home of Mr.. Aug. Aronson and fam
lily. He is an old resident of the
township. He and his wife are ex-
amples of the Industrious. high mind
ed Swedes who have toiled patiently
in Willow and other parts of our
county to own home and bring up a
family in right ways. A peculiar
thing about the Aronson home is the
presence of two colonies of bees in the
walls of the house. They live be-
tween the Notwithstanding and the
lathes having openings in the boards,
and have been there undisturbedi for a
number of years. In but few instan-
ces have the bees stung the children.
He is expecting to build new house
before long and then the bees will
have to locate themselves elsewhere.
On the other side of section 30 and
on the Monona county line is the farm
once owned by Mr.. John WAY and i'm
proved by him. The buildings show
the work of such a capable and in
dustrious man. Isaac Strait and fam
| lily now reside on the farm. Mrs.
Strait is sister of Mrs. Lewis Ro-
mans Of Denison. Here they have a
fine monograph and more than one
hundred records. and so there is plen.
ty of music in the home.
One of the old time residents OF
the township is Mr.. John Higgins
Just now the premises are being i'm.
proved by new barn which will be
36x5O with IA foot posts. The neigh.
u bors among which are Messrs. Olsor
and WINNER have helped draw the
lumber. John is typical hard work
ing Irishman, and is making success,
