Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1916-12-07
MRS. CREVELING LIKES
TO HEAR FROM AUDUBON


Mrs. R. ]. Creveling, former
resident of Audubon, but who with
her husband moved TO Boone two
years ago, writes us very interest
ing letter under date of December Bird
as follows:
1--WE failed to get our Republican
for week before last, the issue OF
November 23rd. Please send us a
COPY. / enclose sc for which please
send me the first issue in October, II
you have an extra copy. Ours came
but was accidentally destroyed before
II had read it. You see we value the
paper. 1t is like getting letter from
an old home.
Mr.. Creveling still holds to his old
habit of being always well and ready
for his rations three times day. l
seem to have more than recovered
from my serious illness of last sum-
mer, as have better health than for
several years past. 1t was a severe
and expensive remedy, but / am glad
the doctor and surgeons did not get
all the compensation. They ale, as
class, faithful and hard working men
and deserve much compensation. we
have our share of capable men and
women in that line. told my doctor
one day that he was almost as good
as DR.. Brooks, of Audubon.
| I suggest that the Womans Clubs
there unite to boost for hospital for
the town, as was once agitated to
some extent, by one of them. Surely
a hospital is blessing to town as
we'll as a convenience. Ours crowns
the only hill in the city and is an
ornament to our part of town.
We are opening beautiful new
park, little south of town. and
street car line north and south seems
an assured thing in the spring. The
lime we have runs mostly east and
west and much profit is from carry
ing men to the railway shops at the
extreme east, and lawyers, county
offers, etc., to our court house at the
extreme west, and there connecting
with a suburban line, which goes out
to mines, tile and brick yards out
near the river.
We are now h. wing built fine new
court house, but alas, it has to be
searched for, if found. Did any of
lyou Audubonites ever hear of some
I"feeling" between towns, or parts of
a town, about the location of court
house? Well, we have just passed
Through such time, but in this case,
1.-THE side that was in managed to stay
in, and l do not think that, in that
case, the feud becomes as bitter as
when that side loses, so we are quite
resigned, and when we have guests
from abroad, it will be a nice little
excursion to take our dinner and go
over and see our new court house"
The ride on the Inter-urban to FIT.
Dodge is a beautiful one. FIT. Dodge
lis a great convention town. l have
lattended two conventions there, the
District Federation of Womeps Clubs
a year ago. l surely missed the old
Ninth District faces, for they were
not there. This fall the state w. c.
IF. N. convention was there and an old
time friend and myself went down to
l"Russell's Store" as good point
from which to view the parade, and /
hoped l would find Mrs. Russell
(your Clara) there, but she was not,
and Mr.. Russell (your JIM said she
was out home and as l stood with
him viewingthe parade. Mrs Russell
lpassed us in one of the automobiles,
looking as happy as of yore. Surely
l shall meet some of your club women
at the biennial which is to meet there
next May.
Now / must stop, and will remark
that although SO very well in gener-
al way, toothache and neuralgia,
which has all seasons for its own kept
me in bed all of last Thursday, and so
we missed eating Thanksgiving dinner
with our son Heron, as we had been
Invited to do. And now with best
wishes for all l am,
Mrs. r. J. Creveling, 1872 Marshall
| Street, Boone, Iowa.
p. S. Our latch string is always
out for old friends.
