Have Lived in Nebraska for
Fifty Years Welded Life

Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Garner OF Whit
ney, Neb., celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary last week. About
200 guests attended, including all the
early settlers of Dawes county and
relatives from all parts of the United
States.
Mr.. Garner came to Nebraska in
1854 and Mrs, Garner came in 1857,
settling in Dakota county, where they
were married in 1867.
Mr.. Garner served two years in the
civil war, having enlisted in the First
regiment, Nebraska Volunteers Com
pany l.. He afterwards superintendent
the first freighting outfit from Coun-
Gil Bluffs to Denver, crossing the
plains many times with teams and
meeting with many exciting adven-
lures with the Indians.
( In 1885 Mr.. and Mrs. Garner moved
to Chadron, living there until the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad
company built its line to Casper, when
they moved to Whitney, where they
have lived ever since, running hotel.

and he made fun of her, calling to
younger sister arose, but the elder
sister cried, she was so ashamed.
In the meantime, the hunter seems
to have fallen in love with the young
er sister, for now he asked her to
marry him. This she agreed to do if
he would promise to destroy his
wooden wife and never to reveal the
fact that her sister, was sick from
over-eating. The hunter promised,
but extracted her assurance that she
would not tell what he had done
with the wooden figure.
: "Then," continues the myth, pub
lished by the bureau Of American
ethnology, they were married" And,
in fact, it is readily assumed that
they lived happily ever after" for, SO
the story reveals, the young woman
was wise and kind and proved a
better wife than the first, especially
in weaving. Eventually, growing very
rich, the hunter returned to his ma
tive village, where he gave great
feast, built large house and finally
became head chief of his generation.
