The esteem in which Ralph HerthI
neck, who died suddenly Nov. 4, was
held by the community at large was
evidenced at his burial last Friday
morning. His little home on STATE
Road could not nearly contain ths
hundreds Of friends and rfeighbors
who came from near and far to ex'
press sympathy and pay to him their
last tribute Of respect. The funeral
services were held at the home, but
/ at the last moment it was found nee
essary to arrange also for a brief ser
vice in the church at Valley City in
order to accommodate the crowd.
Perhaps never before III its history
did the community grieve SO deeply
and generally the death Of one Of its
members as in this instance. The
procession seemed endless that pass
ed before his flower banked casket
and strong men were not ashamed to
weep. Burial was at the township
cemetery and Rev. H. ]. Hahn Of
Valley City offciated.
A very serious accident, that came
close to being fatal, occurred on the
Henry Bauman farm on the state
road last Tuesday afternoon, when
Chas. Bauman's hand was caught in
corn-shredder, and observers state
that he barely avoided being drawn
into the machine bodily. His hand was
frightfully mangled. He was rushed
to Valley City where DR.. Appleby
temporarily dressed the injury and
then was taken to the Elyria hospi-
tai. It is feared that he will lose
his hand.
While unloading coal at the Valley
City station last Tuesday noon, AL
bert Stoskopf suffered an attack Of
the malady that has troubled him for
years, and suddenly lapsed into un-
consciousness. Fortunately prompt
attention quickly revived him again
and he seemed not the worse for the
attack.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Steck and Mr..
Henry Steck last week attended the
funeral Of their uncle, Mr.. Sherwood
in Cleveland.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson and Mr..
Meine visited at the Mesmer home
Sunday.
They say that Howard Grabenstet-
ter has invested in husky young
bull terrier, We cannot say definite
ly whether this has any correction
with the robbery Of the meat market
or not, but it would seem so. In the
future burglars entering the meat
shop may find, not only the highly
relished 'hot-dogs", but "a real bull
dog. @g X 1.
Miss Cora Steck and Miss He'll,
both of Cleveland, were guests at the
pretty home of Mrs. VIM. Steck.
|, Advance notice has, it that Valley
City is going to have a series Of pre-
Christmas bazaars that will merit the
attention Of the Christmas shoppers.
Four have been mentioned so far and
the first Of the series is the high
school bazaar to be held in town hall
on Friday evening, Nov. 18. The high
school girls thru their own efforts are
attempting to- secure funds for an
other sewing machine in their Do
mestic Science department. You la
dies who believe that girls should
learn more practical arts in high
school, should see to it that this ,ba-
zaar is a huge success.
Complaint has been lodged with the
school board that on last Tuesday af-
ternoon "hd-wagon" with its prec-
ious freight of children tried to beat
a locomotive across the tracks and the
margin of safety was reduced to a.
perilous degree. We cannot empha-
size the slogan Safety First" too
much where the children are con
cerned-it should be written large on
every kid wagon.
Several machine loads Of local foot
ball fans motored to Oberlin Satur-
day to witness the Oberlin- Wooster
game. s8l N
Valley City is definitely converted
to football and its conversion is due
to q team that not only plays but
wins. The, local fans are beginning
TO believe they have a real team rep
resenting them as q result Of two
consecutive victories, In which their
goal line was not once crossed. The /
first victim was Strongsville and the
second Olmstead Falls, whom they
defeated last Friday A 90. In the
first minute Of play, on the second
down, Howard Frank, the speedy
quarterback, rot away with the BAN
