HOW OREGON WOMEN VOTE.
Former Cresco Lady Writes About
= Her First Experience at the
Polls-Women Serve as
Judges.

Following are extracts from a let
ter written to a Cresco friend bv Mrs
Florence Henry, now living in Elgin.
Oregon, and published in last weeks
Cresco Times. Mrs. Henry is daugh-
ter Of David Gorsuch and a neice OF
the NARROW brothers of DEBORAH and
Winneshiek:
Il want to give you a few timely
notes on my inltiatory experience as
a full-tied9ed voting citizen at a re-
cent annual election held in our lit
tie city and where ] found many old.
time-worn anti objections completely
wiped off the slate.
Voting was done in the main room
of the city hall, room used also for
the public library, and reading room.

the wife of our Baptist minister. All
were new to the work; nevertheless
they received many Hattering compIl-
ments from the powers that were.
In times past, it has been my priv
llege to attend ministerial confer
ences, Sabbath school, w. c.. T. o..
and Suffrage conventions, teachers
associations, etc, but never have |
seen meeting of any kind whatso-
ever conducted more quietly, eXDc-
ditiously and decorously than thic CITY
election. Voters of both sexes and
OF all ages above p years passed
quietly in and cut after depositing
their ballots and not one word did I
near spoken inside the hall except
necessary questions and responses.
Particularly pleasing to me was the
ease with which l witnessed one
young couple dispatch the old, old
bug-bear Of what to do with the chill
dren when mother votes. These par
ents took baby right along with them
IN MS cab, arrived at their destina-
ton. Father stayed outside with
DaDy while mother went inside and
voted; then mother took charge OUT

performance took up no more of the
Woman's time than for her to enter a
place or business and buy a yard of
ribbon, or loaf of bread
Ballots counted at the close of the
day disclosed the fact that more
women had voted than men-proof

DR.. ]. d. HeXom and family moved

on the occuparlU4. Va general farming
In the day time the father engaged
at his trade of blacksmithing in the
evening, being the first blacksmith in
the northern half of Winneshiek
county. He also made all of the shoes
and clothes for the family, and it was
a matter of two or three days drive
with OK teams to Lansing, the near
est trading post, thirty-five miles
away.
So the boyhood days of Edwin
Hover were spent amid the pioneer
conditions of frontier district Ills
practical training was thorough. for
at an early age he began working in
the fields. Upon attaining his ma
Jority he chose as his lifework the
occupation to which he had been
reared, and until the time of his
death gave his attention TO agricul4
tural pursuits, and became the own
.er of 237 acres Of fine farm land in
Pleasant township.
In the year 1868 Mr.. Hover was
united in marriage to Miss Bertha
Maria Christian, a native Of Vardal3
Norway who came to the United
states with her parents in 1857. Nine
children were born to the union, sew
en- daughters and two sons, TWO OF
the daughters dying in infancy. The
surviving children are: Mrs. e. L.
Outset, Toronto, s. D.; Mrs. Carl Ry-
nerson, Estelline, S. D.; Mrs. Edwin
Nordheim, Satire; Elmer Hover
Newburg, Mimi; Mrs A. L. Lodahl.
Alma and Edwin Hover, of Locust.
The bereaved wife and mother also
survives, and all have the sympathy
OF many friends in the loss of this be-
loved husband and father.
The deceased was a man who had
lived long and honorable life. He
was a man who never allowed per-
sonal affairs to monopolize his time
and attention to the. exclusion of par
ticipation in matters relating to the
public welfare and his efforts in be-
half Of general progress were potent
factors in the growth of the commu-
nifty. He was always a staunch re-
publican and was called TO fill vari-
Gus positions of trust, having served
as township assessor for sixteen
years, acted as trustee and also as
justice Of the peace for many years
He was also a member of the board
of supervisors for three years and
served during the building of Winnie
shiek's new court house.
Mr.. Hover was faithful member
of the Methodist church at Locust
for over fifty years. He was posses
sed of loving, christian spirit, and
to serve God with all his heart was
his highest aim, and through his ill
ness he never uttered a word of COM
PLANT, but was perfectly satisfied
with Gods will.
The funeral was held Sunday af-
ternoon, May Z, from the home and
the Norwegian Methodist church at
Locust. Rev. Wang, of Newburg,
Mimi. spoke comforting words to the
bereaved ones. A large congregation
was present to lay their last tribute
to the deceased.
Mrs. /. j. Kessey, of Forest City,
Mr.. Lewis Hover of st. Paul, and all
Of the children were present at the
funeral.
