Jemez Springs

A. p. Vanderveer died at his home
on the Cebolla last Monday, Of pneu-
monia, following a short illness of in
fluenza. The news of his death was
q real shock to the community. Il.
M. Fenton, father of Mrs. Nanderveer,
was summoned from Albuquerque and
will conduct funeral services. Mr.. and
Mrs. Vanderveer entertained their
neighbors from several miles around
at a. Christmas dinner and tree, and
they and several of the guests were
stricken with influenza within few
days. Mrs. Vandeweer and her two
year-old daughter are still i'll, though
not seriously so, also the-several Fluke
families.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. s. Freelove and
three children are down with the
"flu" at their home in the Cueva.
Reports of fearful winter in this
vicinity are somewhat exaggerated. 1t
is true that three inches of snow fell
in October but it melted the next day.
On October 81, 1906, eighteen inches
fell in one day. Nineteen inches OF
snow fell here last November and
eighteen inches in December, the same
as in January, 1913. There were thir-
ty-six inches of snow in January, 1915,
three years ago. There are now about
six inches of snow in the open valley
and considerably more in Shady Side
canons. Really cold weather set in
rather earlier than usual this year,
and we experienced a cold wave, in
common with many other places, with
2 degrees below zero on Christmas
morning and 10 degrees below on New
Years morning.
The weather has greatly moderated,
averaging about As degrees maximum
and 10 degrees above, minimum. This
data is taken from the official records
of the local weather observer. Thir-
teen degrees below has been expert
enced only once before in recent years,
January 7, 1918. y SN<-
