Among the many interesting auth
ors who have lived in Keokuk during
a part of their career, and who have
done a part of their literary work in
this city, there are perhaps none who
are dearer to the hearts of Keokuk
citizens than Mrs. Sarah S. Pollard,
who died at her home in Fort Madi-
son, May 20, 1907, at the age of eighty
five years and eight months. Mrs.
Pollard, or as she was known in the
literary world as Kate Harrington,
lived for few years in this city. She
is the aunt Of Miss Eta Ayres and
j. J. Ayres, who are present residents
here. J. A. S.. Pollard, her son, is a
resident of Fort Madison at this time.
While people of the last generation
know about Kate Harrington" from
what they have read or heard their
elders say, the older residents Of this
community remember her well and are
fond of recalling instances when "she
lived and worked here" and each one
is anxious to relate his bit of personal
knowledge concerning the poet-author
to assure you that he really did know
her.
1t was years ago that she lived here,
and then only for a. short time Her
friends here are not quite sure where
her home was but they say lit was
little house on North Fifth street -
She taught q private school there
and some of Keokuk's prominent BUSH
ness men were among her pupils.
Her poem, Centennial is said to
have been written while Mrs Pollard
was a resident of this city, in 1875.
Came From Farmlngton-
Mrs. Pollard moved to Keokuk from
Farmington, Iowa, and after short
residence here, moved to Fort Madi-
son where she lived until the time
of her death, which occurred in 1917.
Besides her son, j. A. S. Pollard, VINO
resides there now, she has grandson,
Harrington Pollard, at one time city
attorney of Fort Madison, who Is also
one of it's present citizens
Mrs. Pollard was the author OF
novel dealing with condition prevalent
at the time of the civil war and called
Emma Bartlett" or prejudice and
Anaticisms." Full Surrender" one
of Mrs. Pollard's hymns, ranks among
the most popular consecrated songs
of the present century. In her e1gh-
tieth year Kate Harrington wrote a
story in verse, "Althea, or the Morn
ing Glory" which was published by
Sherman, French and company, Of
Boston, Mass. =,
The Centennial and Other Poems,
a book of verses which Kate Harrlns-
ton wrote during the seventies, is per-
haps one of her best known works,
and contains many lines in which Keo-

C.. G, Llchtenberger Of keol<uk Was
one Of the Iowa Delegation at
National Meeting at Port
land.
HAWKEYEs ARE ON MAP
Parade Is Featured by Them and Their
Praises of the Best
State Ia the
Union.

c. G.. Lichtenberger has returned
from the national convention of the
r, P. A., which was held in Portland,
Ore, recently. Iowa, as usual, was
put, on the map of the westerners,
and Mr.. Lichtenberger and other
members of the Iowa delegation
helped tell the world that the Hawk
eye state is the finest in the union.
The Iowa delegation went to Port.
land in a, special car and joined tn Q
Omaha and Nebraska delegations at
Omaha. There was the usual amount
initiation of the K. X. K.-Keep KoUl
Klub. South Carolinians were the
victims Of the initiation, and the
stunt consisted of sitting on a cake
of ice.
The delegation from Iowa was all
excited over the fact that one Of its
number borrowed a button hook at
1 o'clock in the morning, and a Port
land reporter wrote this squib about
the Keokuk delegate:
':R. N. Stark, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
and C. G.. Lichtenberger, Of Keokuk,
were congratulating themselves on
being out in the cool west when they
read that the schools in Omaha had
been closed on account Of the heat"
Iowa Big in Parade.
The parade, which is always fea.
ture of T. P. A. gatherings, was no
exception this year, and the Iowa
delegation, us usual, sang the praises
of the state. Here is one of the
songs, sung to the tune of Smiles:
1--WE have miles Of wheat field grow,
ing,
We have miles of corn on cob,
We have miles of fatted cattle low
We have hogs and chickens by the
COB"
There's lot more Of It, but that
gives you an idea of the things they
have to eat in Iowa, Portland paper
says.
The Indiana delegation preceded
the Iowa crowd and at the end Of
every verse they began to chant,
You're liar now" However, there
were enough former Iowans along the
line OF parade to drown out the In
diana response with automobile
horns, and Iowa got a glad hand
wherever the boys were.
While in Portland. Mr. Lichten-
berger drove to st. Johns, where he
met the members of the firm of Bon
ham & Currier, former Keokuk peo-
pie.
On the trip out, the special train
was held at Pocatello, Idaho, for sev-
eral hours and prison train drew
up in the yards, filled with aliens
who were being taken to the coast
for deportation. The cars had steel
bars at the windows, and steel doors.
