Dresden Sunflower from Dresden, Kansas • 6

DRESDEN, KANSAS, SUNFLOWER SHIBBOLETH "Uncle Fuzz" and his better half at the McKay home, Mon- day. John Jenkins, of Kentucky, is visiting at the Brantley and Custard homes at present. Mr. and Mrs. John Fortin returned Sunday from their visit with relatives at Plainville Mrs.

Ballard and two children visited at the Frank Sweet home, Saturday and Sunday. There was no Sunday School nor League at Shibboleth, last Sunday, on account of wet weather. The last two weeks have reminded us that Kansas is under the democrat rule "for she sure am a-gettin' wet." The McConnell and Nelson families spent a very pleasant evening at the home, Thanksgiving night. Mr. and Mrs.

J. W. Tibbels and daughter, Mrs. L. W.

Patterson, were guests at the McKay home, Sunday and Monday. The second annual Thanksgiving feast was held at Shibboleth with a very large attendance. Those present were treated to a very interesting sermon at the morning service and as to the noon hour, we hardly think that all were treated with equal rights as we had several with a small capacity, such as R. A. McConnell.

In such cases we have decided to try and get a self-feeder for next year's feast. A very interesting program, prepared by Misses Tina Hoppas and Ida Young, was rendered in the afternoon. All in all, everyone present was thankful to live near Shibboleth. UNCLE Fuzz. August Henry Neimann August Henry Niemann was born in Spruce Creek, Jackson county, Iowa, June 20, 1841.

Mr Niemann's illness was of brief duration. He was stricken with paralysis on Friday, November 21st, and died Tuesday, November 25th, at 2:35 p. m.

The pall bearers were Frank Juenemann, Frank Trometer, Leonard Zodrow, John Zodrow, George Boor and John Ypma, members of the St.

Joseph society, of which Mr. Niemann was a member. Deceased was a man of kindly disposition, beloved by all with whom he came in contact and besides the sorrowing family a large number of friends sincerely mourn his departure.
