On Saturday evening, at the church
hall, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Olson
were pleasantly surprised and enter
tanned by the people of Coon Valley
and of the surrounding country, the
occasion being their silver wedding
anniversary. One feature of the even
ing was speeches by Rev Sovde, the
POSTMASTER, and by other prominent
citizens. Besides the sum of money,
an immense bouquet of chrysanthe-
NUNS from the Salzer Seed firm pre-
scented to the honor guests, was evil
dence of the friendly esteem in which
the couple is held. Tables in the base
ment where the crowd was served,
were loaded with delicious eats. A
beautiful wedding cake, white frosted,
with twenty-five candles and the name
"Olson" as decoration, and bouquet
of red carnations, marked the table
of the bride and groom. Mr.. and Mrs
Olson are among the prominent citi-
zens of Coon Valley where they have
resided the past fifteen years. There
is an old saying that "some was not
built in a day." This is equally true
of Coon Valley, and we are safe in
saying that no individual has done
more than Mr.. Olson to make the viii
lage the neat and up-to-date place
that it is today. Ever since the viii
lage has been Incorporated, with the
exception of one year, he has served
at its head, as President, which fact
needs no comment. 1t speaks for it.
self. At one time he was member
of the school board and in that capa-
city and always, some of his best in
terests have been for the school. Mrs.
and social circles, never failing to lend
a helping hand wherever it is needed.
The best wishes of the people of the
community is that they may again
help the Olson's to celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary twenty
five years hence. d. . Major r. II. Hen
dershot, the original Drummer boy of
the RappahannOck, and his son, j. II.
HenGershot, fifer, soloist, and reader,
ase'gacd by local talent, took part in
TIE entertainment given Friday night
81 the village hall under the auspices
of The Coon Valley public schools. |
These two gentlemen gave a novel and
unique program of songs, recitations,
martial music, and limitations. Moth
ing was more enjoyed by the large
audience, that greeted them, than the
numerous songs and jokes by the
Major, in which he introduced kindly
reference to many in the audience,
and his sons fife and ocarina solos
played through the nose. Every num-
Der of local talent was well sustained |
and appreciated. We cheerfully rec
ommend the Major and his son to the |
public schools as special attraction |
for their entertainments.
