Of welded life at their home in Tenny-
son, Tuesday, August IA, 1928 Will
liam and Catherine Muller were mar
ried in the little st. Andrews church
in Dutch Hollow by Rev. Father w.
H. Verloef, August A. 1861. To this
union were born thirteen children,
six have passed to the great beyond.
Seven are living and are off doing for
themselves. The worthy old couple
are now where they began married
life, living together alone. Mrs
Mechler was born in that part Of the
town Of PotOsi known in history as
Dtuch Hollow in 1845, and here she
has lived her entire lifetime. MIR.
Mechler was born in Baltimore, Md,
in 1910, and came to Dutch Hollow
with his parents in 1848, and he too,
has made the old burg his continuous
home Both are hale and hearty and
active for people of their age. 1t is
the sincere wish Of their countless
number of friends that they may live
to enjoy many more marriage ami
VerSarieS.
In my narration Of two weeks ago
pertaining to the recent death of
Charles OFT in Oregon, and in which
] made mention of his marriage TO
Miss Kate stroll in 1872, | beg to cor
rect an error made therein, in as
much that it was not Miss Julia Run
MON who was the bridesmaid at the
wedding, bat in fact it was Miss Mag
gle SWale, now Mrs. Maggie Will
mers, who was bridesmaid with the
writer as best mal My memory that
is generally good for long past re-
minecenscs certainly failed me in
this incident, and | beg pardon for the
error The principals to the mar
riage have both passed to the beyond,
but the attendants are yet living IN
PotOsi and are 81 years older than at
that time.
There are two short and dangerous
curves in the main Travelled road from
the Rupp or Pluemer hill leading into
Tennyson, that should have the at
tention OF the County Road Commits
sioners These curves in question are
only four or five rods apart and are
menace to the travelling public, in as
much that many automobiles must
round these curves, and in many in
stances driven by wild and crazy per-
sons. that the road at this point is ac
tUally dangerous. We are informed
that two touring cars and a truck
went over the dump at the bridge last
week, but luckily no one was injured.
This road can easily be Strengthened
to avoid these curves with little eX
pense and it should be done before Il
serious accident occurs at this point.
