DANCY.
| The continued dry weather did
quite little damage to some crops
| throughout this locality, the only
seemingly favored ones are the hay
makers.
Mrs. Louis Larson of Rugby, N. d.,
is spending few weeks visiting her
parents, John ATTENDING and wife near
Dancy.
George Topham Sr. and wife Mrs.
| G.. G.. Knoller and Mrs. A. W.
| Clements were those from here who
were at Wausau the first part of the
| past week in attendance to the funer-
al of the late Sam Welland. Sam was
born in the village and had many
| friends who were very sorry for his
early taking away. Lengthy men
ton of his demise was made in the
columns of this paper last week, and
if we were to say anything, it would
resolve itself to thiS-that all the good
that could be said would not be too
much. Kind and obedient to his
widowed mother, faithful, honest and
upright in his work, and with all the
qualities that go to make man in
the fullest sense of the word were this
young mans characteristics, and the
world would be better and happier if
more were like him. His early death
is sincerely regretted throughout this
locality.
George H. Reynolds of Marshfield
and j. P. Malick of Stevens Point
were in this village couple of days
the past week on business pertaining
to the Dancy Drainage Dist, and were
the guests of G. G. Knoller
An immense crowd was present at
the picnic held near here the 9Th and
also the dance in the evening. First
class music was furnished by Columbia
orchestra of Wausau. The game of
ball played between Dancy and Moon
in the afternoon was won by the for
mer by a score of to 2.
While ditching in the Dancy Drain
age Dist. few days ago one of the
dredge boats unearthed an old shot
gun bearing the date 1922. The wood
of same was in excellent state of pre-
seryation, and the brass trimmings
showed no rust. Could this old gun
speak, it could no doubt give quite an
interesting history of this section of
the country in an early day-long be-
fore the whites were so important a
factor as they now are. The head
waters of the Little Eau Pleine river
was in an early day an Indian camp
ing ground and it is thought that
there is much, if unearthed, that
would be of historical value to those
interested in Indian lore in that
locality.
