The Leader is in receipt of letter
from Dan Crowley, ponca, Neb., form
er resident of WatertOwn. in which he
gave the information that the Republic

coined visitor in his home since the first
issue nearly fifty-four years ago begin
ming with j. A. Hadiey and changed pro-
prietOrs and editors at least dozen
times during its existence, the late j.
I. Moak having been one OF its editors
for several years. Being in n reminis-
cent mood, Mr.. Crowley called attention
to the fact, that when his parents lOcat-
Ell here, the place was known as John
sons Rapids and that he was the first
white child born in what is now known
as WATERFOWL, the date OF his birth being
February %, 1910. Thst a man in Mil

Among other "reminiscences he men
toned the fact that his mother helped
an aged English lady make maple sugar
on the ground where the Hotel CONNER
cial and Gamm's drug store now stand.
That he was well acquainted with most
of the fathers of the business men Of
WatertOwn: the Schempfs, Revells, Wig
genhorns, Gamms, Richards on the hill,
and many more whose names he could
not recall. and desired that we should
ask Ex Mayor Wertheimer if he knew
Dan Crowley. That when his parents
located here, it was a wilderness and
fish and game plentiful, settlers limited
in number but all anxious to do their
part in developing the country, whose
labor had made this section blossom as
a rose and built city of which the in
habitants have good reason TO be proud.
He wished to be remembered to all OF
his old friends and neighbors and hopes
sometime to again visit the place of his
birth and the scenes which will not be
forgotten while life lasts.
