MRS. SIENISEN CALLED
TO HEAVENLY HOME

AS gently and as kindly as sleep
comes to the weary mother at the
end of the days toll, so death came
to Mrs. Anna Catharine Siemsen, an
aged and highly respected resident
of Audubon at her home last Sat
urday night about 1900 o'clock at
the end of a well spent life. Her
friends knew that she had been all
ing for some time and it was only a
few days before her death that her
illness was considered critical.
Mrs. Siemsen was born in Schles-
veg, Holstein, Germany, February
"a, 1913, where her youth and ear
ly womanhood was spent, and was
just past 76 years of age at the time
of her death. She was united in
marriage to Peter Siemsen in Ger
many and to this union six children
were born as follows: Mrs. Robert
! Flagg, Niarda, Mont; Mrs. f. A.
Hood. Milesville, S. D.; Fred Stem
sen at home in Audubon; Mrs. P. C.
Nelson of Audubon Chas. Siemsen
of Richmond, Calf; and John
Siemsen residing near Ross, Ia. All
the children are living, the husband
and father preceding her in death
several years ago. Urged by the
call of the land of the free, Mr.. and
Mrs. Siemsen left Germany in the
year 1867 and located at Davenport
Iowa, where they remained Is years.
In 1882 they moved to Audubon
county and resided on a farm in
Douglas township, later moving to
a farm near Ross, now occupied by
their son John Siemsen and fam
lily. Retiring from farm life they
purchased the home in Audubon and
moved to town where Mr.. and Mrs.
Siemsen lived in joyous content
! ment until the death of Mr.. Stem
sen. Her son Fred has been a
much devoted and close companion
to his mother since the death of his
| father.
| The high esteem in which Mrs.
! Siemsen was held by the citizens OF
! Audubon and vicinity was testified
! by the number of those, both old and
! young, who came to do her honor
as she lay dead. Kindly and affec-
5 tionate to her family loyal to her
friends and helpful to all in need,
! Mrs. Siemsen well earned the love
and regard which was hers. She
was faithful Christian woman.
The funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
at the Methodist Episcopal church,
with Rev. c. w. Proctor in charge
of the service. Interment was
made in Maple Grove cemetery beside
the body of her husband. Many
friends of the family were in attend
ance at the church service and fol-
lowed the remains to their final
resting place, until called upon to
join the heavenly spirit at the day

HOW ELKHoRN GOT IT'S NAME

In the Atlantic News of March 20
we find the following obituary of
Mrs. Theron Winters, which we
think will be of interest to our read
erS:
Mrs. Caroline Whitney Winters,
wife of Theron w. Winters, god
mother of Elkhorn and one of the
founders of the town, died at the
family residence, 1909 Cedar street,
this morning at one O'Clock. She
was 81 years old. Mrs. Winters
death was the result of extreme age
and after effects of an attack of the
grippe of two years ago. Few
women now living in this part of
Iowa played a greater part in the
development of this part of the state
than did Mrs. Winters. Born in
New York she came west to Wiscon-
sin and later into western Iowa,
where she became one of the pioneer
builders of Shelby county. 1t was
in the year 1865. just after their
marriage at Oshkosh Wis, that Mr.
and Mrs. Winters journeyed into
Iowa and settled on the present site
of the town which later came into
existence and to which she gave a
name. Mr.. and Mrs Winters
were part of a colony of Wisconsin
people who came to Iowa. Pleased
with the ridge country of southeast
Shelby county the colony halted
there and proceeded to build them
selevs homes and establish a town.
When a postoffice had been estab-
lished at the settlement and it was
necessary to give the place the name
it was Mrs. Winters who suggested
Elkhorn. The name was suggested
ed to her because of so many elks
horns in the timber near by. The
elk used the timber as stamping
ground and would shed their horns
there.
Besides the distinction of being
the one who gave Elkhorn its name,
Mrs. Winters also had the honor of
being its first postmistress. The
postoffice was kept in the Winters
cabin for a number of years.
For a number of years Mr.. Win
tiers traversed the stage route along
| the ridge country between Atlantic
and Harlan and carried the mail.
This was in the latter sixties and
prior to the ADVENT of the railroad.
Mr.. Winters also gave the acre or
ground which constituted the first
cemetery used by the settlement.
This is situated some two miles
south and west from Elkhorn and
now goes by the name of Clay Hill
cemetery. After a residence Oh
J twelve years at the town which they
helped to found, Mr.. and Mrs. Win
tiers moved to Atlantic. Here they
remained for three years, Mr.. Win
tiers being engaged in the operation
of bakery. Leaving Atlantic the
family moved to Marine and there
Mr.. and Mrs. Winters continued to
make their home until three years
ago when they came to Atlantic TO
live. Mrs. Winters was one OF the
founders of the Methodist church in
Marine. Mrs. Winters was born at
| Albin. n. n. Her father was one
of the whitney family, noted in the
affairs of the Empire state for years.
She was IL years old when her pa
! rents moved to Wisconsin.

SOME IOWA TOWNS NOT
OBSERVING NEW TIME"

Several western Iowa towns are
taking the lead in what MAJ develop
into a countrywide decision. on the
part of rural towns, to disregard To-
cally the daylight saving plan of
setting the clock ahead.
Farmers, accustomed to arising
early and working late during the
spring and summer months, disre-
garded the change last year insofar
as their home affairs were concern
ed. Rural protests against the
daylinght saving law threatened to
lead to the repeal of that law dur
ing the recent session of congress.
Woodbine, Iowa, announced last
Friday that its stores would open
and close on the "old time" to ac
commodate the farmers. The
farmers, it was explained, dislike
quitting work in the middle of the
afternoon to hurry to town before
the stores close. Saturday night
is not a problem in most of the

FARM HANDS DRAW
GOOD WAGE RETURN

Farm hands are coming in de-
mand for oats seeding and other
work on the farm. One man who
has been trying to get farm hand
finds that the men are inclined to
ask pretty good pay for their work
this year. Many were paid good
wages last year and it is reported
that some of the men are being paid
$65 for their services. per month.
The scale seems to not go below an
approximate sum of $45 per month
and it is probable that with the ele-
walton of the price on commodities,
including farm labor, that the man
who works on the farm will be better
paid than ever this year, so far as
the number of dollars is concerned.
Now is a good time to pay your
