HANNA E. WHITE

Hanna f. White died April 10, 1923,
of bronchial asthma at her home in
Pendleton, Indiana, at the age of 80
years.
Deceased was born in Philadelphia.
Pa, Feb. IL, 1S41. In early youth
she moved with her parents to Pend
Teton, Ind, where she was married to
Josiah White. Three children were
born to this union-Oliver, Lille and
Alice, all of whom preceded her in
death and are buried in the Prescott
cemetery.
Shortly after their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. White moved to Big River,
Pierce county, Wisconsin. After a
number of years they sold their farm
and moved to River Falls, where Mr..
White died several years later. Mrs.

remained there ever since.
In compliance with her earnest re-
quest, made many years ago, her
nephew, Dry White, went to Pendle--
ton and brought the remains to Pres

COMMUNICATION
TN Hammond News

As some are uncertain as to the
original names of our early town
ships, perhaps the following, taken
from old copies of the Hudson Star
and River Falls Journal, may be of
interest. 1.-THE school lands bought
up by Mann, Hammond and Company,
embraced what is now, the townships
of Warren, Hammond, Baldwin and
Springfield. All, originally belonged
to Hudson, but after the purchase,
took the name of Hammond and sub
seuuently the latter names. Ham
mond was created by the county board
in the winter of 1856 and as named
after r. B. Hammond of Waukesha."
For some time, the eally settlers
here were in the habit of calling our
little village "Town Site" Hudson in
1S49 was given the name Buena Vista
beautiful View it is said, by Joel
Foster who fought in the Mexican
war at Buena Vista with Gen. Taylor.
In 1851 on petition, the Legislature
changed the name to Willow River,
on account of the trouble and confu-
sion caused. by another Buena Vista
in Wisconsin. But the name was I'M
satisfactory and on the suggestion OF
Alfred Day, the Board in 1852 declal-
ed the name to be Hudson. Baldwin
was named after Abraham Baldwin
by act of the County Board in 1872.
1t was cut off from the East side OF
Hammond. The village was first call
ed Clarksville."
AS stated in a later issue of the
Star-T5mes, warren derived its
name from a place of the same name
=. xrytsoh ,oloon
of the early settlers in the fifties.
Roberts was named for an engineer
who assisted in laying out the lall-
road"
From a booklet compiled by the
North Western Railroad system, the
n. & r. V. of New Richmond, quoted,
some years ago, the following regard
ing that place, New Richmond was
established in 1850 and bore the
names of Fosters Crossing lover Will
low River) Gridley and Fremont res
pectively at various times, down to
1862, when the name was finally f1Xed
in its present form. 1t was named
for Richmond Day, one of the orlgl-
nal founders of the place. The coun-
ty was named for the liver and the
river for Monsieur ST. Croire, a
Frenchman who was drowned at ITS
mouth.
According to the River Falls Jour
nal prescott was the first town OIL
ganized in Pierce county 1858. The
town of Greenwood was organized
the next year and in 1858 it was
changed to River Falls"
There was more of interest, but
this will suffice.

SCOUTS ATTEND SERVICES

On Sunday. April Is, about forty
Bow Scouts, of Troop No. |, River
Fails, marched in parade formation
to the Congregational church, where
special Boy Scout services we've held
The Troop formed at the high school,
and marched through town and UP
Elm street, under command of Scout
Master A. r. johnson, and Asst.
Scout Master Max Taylor.
The boys occupied reserved seats
in the center of the church, and were
privileged to listen to a wonderful
sermon by the DR.. Thrrsh. The text
of the sermon was the bible story of
David and Goliath" and DR.. Thrush
fully impressed the boys with the ne
cessity of courage ina Christian life.
One of the things he told the boys
that was especially worth while, was
"Never fight unless you have to, but
if you have to fight, never give up.
The sermon was a Boy Scout sermon
but so delivered that it was of great
interest also to the older folks.
The Boy Scouts are very grateful
to DR.. Thrush for the invitation tc
his church, and also for the special
preparations which were made.

Normal School Girls
in Gym Demonstration

The Gymnasium demonst alton to
be given by one hundred fifty Nor
NAL girls tomorrow night promises
to be one of the most ambitious af-
fairs ever presented in River Falls.
The program will include military tao
tics, drills, fancy dances, and bas-
ket ball game between two picked
teams. Anyone of these numbers
alone will be worth the price of adj
mission. The costumes f.. the dances
are costing in the neighborhood of
500.
This is the only opportunity the
business men, towns people, and stu-
dents will have of financially support
ing Girls Athletics. The money
raised by the Girls Athletic associa-
ton is to pay for team pictures in the
Meletean, to buy athletic trophies for
the girl athletes, and to assist in a
project of equipping the training
school playground. Those who have
SCH the costumes and who have seen
practises of different numbers, assure
the writer that the show is well worth
twice the money and that anyone who
fails to see it will regret it.
The doors will open at 7:45. The
program begins promptly at Sis.
