MEETS SOME COUSINS
Vice President Marshall Is Relative
CT Richie Family.

Ottumwa Courier: One of the uneX-
pected things, and made more pleas
ant for its uneXpectedness, was the
meeting between Vice President Mar
shall and FIVE of his cousins. The lat
ter are all Mahaska County residents
owning good farms in that county.
The meeting was a happy one for all
and took place in the foyer of the no.
tel Immediately following MARSHALL S
arrival there.
The Iowa relatives were four broth
ers and the son OF the younger of the
quartet They we're C. P Richie, H.
Richie, w F. Richie, J. II. Richie,
all of Cedar. and Thomas Richie of
Oskaloosa. The latter's wife and son
Robert. were here for the day to see
and meet their distinguished relative.
Now you newspaper fellows must
not use your imagination too strong
about this said one of the five, for
you see we are only third cousins.
Our mother was a Patterson and a
cousin of Mr. MarshalI's mother. We
all came from Ohio in the neighbOr-
hood of Mansfield and Mr.. Marshall S
family are also Ohioans. We came out
to Iowa in 1884"
But one of the five had ever seen
Mr.. Marshall before and that was the
elder of c.. P. Richie who says that
Tommy" Marshall was then only Is
years old.
You know there is a streak of pro.
phecy in our family" said one OF
the five AN uncle of both Mr.. Mar
shall and my mother, A. c. Patterson
of Mansfield Ohio, who by the way
is a republican, once predicted great
things for his nephew, The vice presi
dent of TODAY was then but an infant
and had been thrown out of his baby
carriage. The uncle told the relative
wheeling the buggy, better be care
| full of that boy. He might be president
of the United States some day Sc
you see he came nearer the truth IL
his prophecy than he dreamed of wher
he jokingly made the remark"
