JOHN O. GIVES HISTORY OF FORMER WOLCOTTITES.

From Milwaukee I journeyed to St. Paul, Minn. where I called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Beach. Mr. Beach, as is known to most of the readers of the News, is the son of the late Charles H. Beach, of Wolcott, and Mrs. Beach is Lillian, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wells. The Beaches have one child, a daughter, Gladys Wells Beach. a pretty little miss of seven years.

Mr. Beach, who is a civil engineer in the employ of the Northern Pacific railway, was out on field duty in Minneapolis, so I took the address so that I could find him later, spent a very pleasant hour with Lillian, discussing Wolcott matters and departed.

The next place of interest that I visited in St. Paul was the Minnesota state capitol, a comparatively new, and fine building. There is a great similarity in the state capitols of the United States. I have been through quite a number of them and none can compare with that of New York state, which cost six times as much as that of Minnesota, and is not large enough now to handle the business of the state, and many thousands of dollars are paid annually in rentals for offices outside.

Perhaps the reason that the capitols of other states cost less was the absence of graft, in their construction. It is a well known fact that the capitol at Albany was the most luxuriant piece of pasturage for hungry politicians that New York state has ever produced.

Adjoining the state capitol at St. Paul is the Minnesota State Historic building, which contains a very interesting collection of relics of the past, mostly articles that figured in the early history of the city and state. Among the exhibits is St. Paul's first postoffice, a little case about two feet square divided into compartments, perhaps four by six inches in size it was made by A.L. Larpenteur, and used in the store of Henry Jackson, postmaster in 1846-1849.

There are ancient oxcarts and farming implements, musical instruments, etc. There is one old melodeon once owned by John Brown, the abolitionist, who resided for a time in Minnesota. On the melodeon are framed portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

There was one exhibit, however, which, it seems could have had no direct connection with St. Paul or Minnesota, and that was an ancient instrument of torture from Manila, Philippine Islands. It was a garote(sic), a device somewhat resembling a chair with a heavy upright timber for a back. There was a heavy stock-like collar at neck height to encircle the victim's neck, and at the back of the collar was a heavy screw by means of which the collar was drawn backward till the victim was choked to death. A card attached stated that thirty-seven people had been executed in this machine.

From St. Paul I made a side trip twelve miles north by autobus, to visit Jake Reed, brother of B.C. Reed, of Wolcott, and a former Wolcott boy whom I had not seen in more than 37 years.

Jake Reed and Billie Wells, now of Anacortes, Wash. and a brother of Albert Wells, left Wolcott in September, 1886, for Jamestown, North Dakota, where Jake engaged in the retail meat business in company with Alson Wells, brother of Albert and Billie Wells, till the fall of 1920, when he became infected with the automobile bug and established at White Bear, Minn., the J.A. Reed Motor company with his son, Harold Enos, as junior partner. Their line of business is a filling station, service and storage.

They have a large gasoline trade and furnish regular storage for eight of the big auto buses running between White Bear and St. Paul, and furnish gasoline for the entire fleet operated by the bus company.

The J.A. Reed Motor company have no direct agency for any car, but have a contract with another sales agency, through which they receive a share of the commissions on all cars sold to the prospects turned in by them, and during the past season have done a nice business along this line without a cent invested. The Reeds own their own large storage tank and buy their gasoline of whom they please in carload lots.

Jacob A. Reed, in 1893, at Jamestown, N.D. married Millicent Ferrier, and five children have been born to them, as follows: Harold Enos, a sturdy six footer, who will tip the scales at around 200, who is married and has one child, John Haine, aged about one year; Lois, married to Geo. Game-they have two children, George, Jr. 5, and Averill Reed Game, 3;-Grace Cabal, married Jabez Lloyd-they have three children, Robert 4; Richard, 3, and Millicent Ann, 2;- Helen, who is still at home is 19 and has not yet finished school. During her vacation she was doing reportial work on the local paper.

At the time of my visit, Mrs. Reed and the youngest daughter, Jane Averill, 9; were visiting a married daughter at Jamestown, N.D, and I saw them there later at the home of Alson Wells, where I learned that a new Reed grandchild had recently arrived in Jamestown.

There has been a severe drought in Minnesota previous to my visit, but while I was at White Bear there was a downpour of rain which continued till after the time for my return to St. Paul, and as my hotel there was only a few steps from the union station and the bus station several blocks away, I decided to go by train and, in going to the station at White Bear was the only time during my entire trip that I had occasion to raise my umbrella.

The autobus fare to White Bear was 30 cents and the railway fare back was 42 cents, and the railroads were losing money at that. The auto buses had made such inroads into the business of the steam cars in the vicinity of St. Paul that the public service commission had given the railroads permission to remove twenty suburban trains.

St. Paul is located on the Mississippi river at the head of navigation for large steamboats. It is the capitol of Minnesota and the second city in size in the state. Its population as last reported was 234,680, its altitude above sea level is 694 feet.

The first white man to visit the site of St. Paul , so far as is know, was Father Hennepin. Voyaging up the Mississippi, he stopped there in 1680. Nearly a century later Jonathan Carver, a Connecticut Yankee, was the second white visitor; and in 1838 came Pierre Parrant, a French-Canadian, the first white settler. In 1841 Father Gaultier, a French Catholic priest, founded the first church there, and named it St. Paul from which the city derived its name. It received its city charter in 1854, and united the suburb, West St. Paul in 1876. Since the latter year there has been such a rapid growth that the outskirts of the city reach those of Minneapolis, these two cities being known as "The Twin Cities of the West."

From St. Paul, I went to Minneapolis, where for several days I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Addison I. Plank, at 1,225 Hawthorne avenue.

Addison Irving Plank, who will be remembered by some of the readers of the News, is the son of the late Lewis Plank, who prior to 1886 lived on East Port Bay street on the place known in recent years as the Sam Perry place, where Addison was born. He has not visited Wolcott sincein the late seventies, but those who knew him then would readily recognize him now, for "Ad" has never grown up and never will. He is still a kid and enjoys it as much as ever. For thirty years he has been a telegraph operator in the employ of the Western Union at Minneapolis.

In 1895 Addison Plank married May Hollenbeck. They have two children, Anne and Addison I., Jr. Anne was named for Addison's mother. He also has a sister Anne, and as his daughter inherited her father's small stature, she is called little Anne. She is married to a man by the name of Miller, lives in Rapid City, South Dakota, and has one child, a daughter, perhaps a year old, a pretty little midget.

The son, Addison, Jr., is attending a technical college in Chicago.

As I happened to be at Addison's over Sunday, when he was off duty, we went to Hopkins, Minn., about nine miles west to visit Addison's half brother, Frank Plank, and family.

Lewis Plank was twice married and Frank is a son by the first marriage. His mother was a Park, daughter of the late Samuel Park, sister of the late Alonzo Park and aunt of Mack Park, of West Port Bay street. She had two sons, Frank and Theodore, who is two years Frank's senior and now living at eighty years of age at Eugene, Oregon. I will have more to says(sic) of him later.

Frank Plank is 78 years of age, and a veteran of the Civil war. He left Wolcott in the late sixties to take up a soldier's claim of government land in the vicinity of Pipeston, Minn., and there he met Josephine Rice, whom he afterwards married, Mrs. Plank says that the reason Frank became interested in her was because the first time he saw her she was on horseback driving a herd of cattle. She is a capable woman, but has discontinued the practice of horseback riding and herding cattle- she does, however, drive an automobile.

The Planks have one daughter, Mabel, who is still at home. They have a very pleasant home on a small farm, which Frank still works himself. The house is equipped with many modern conveniences, such as water system and electric lights, both of which are farm plants and owned by them.

Lewis Plank's second wife was Anne Groat, sister of his brother, William's wife, who was Harriet Groat. By his second marriage there were four children, as follows: Florence, Anne, Addison and George.

They left Wolcott about 1868 going first to Kalamazoo, Mich., where they remained about two years, and during which time Mr. Plank was engaged in the bakery business. They then went to Waterloo, Iowa, where they remained for a couple of years. Then they went to Anoka, Minn., where Mrs. Plank had a brother living.

In 1867 Mr. and Mrs. Plank returned to Wolcott and during that summer Mr. Plank did carpenter work on the Page building, which is now the Streeter variety store. They then went to Auburn, N.Y., for a couple of years; then to the Hudson river valley for about a year; then they returned to Anoka, Minn. Anne in the meantime had married Dana Coleman, and removed to Minneapolis. Addison as has been previously stated married in 1895 and his father took up his abode with him and Mrs. Plank went with Anne, who with her husband and mother, removed to Paynesville, Minn., and there on Nov. 22, 1895, Mrs. Plank died. Mr. Plank remained with Addison for a couple of years, then went to live with Theodore, at Pipeston, Minn., and there soon afterward he died.

The Coleman family now reside at Whittier, Calif., and Mrs. Coleman's younger brother, George Plank, lives with them.

While the Planks were living at Waterloo, Iowa, the daughter, Florence, married Thomas W. Hansell, and about a year later died of pneumonia leaving a child which survived about a year.

NOTICES OF HURON CHURCH: THREE CHRISTMAS SERMONS

The next three sermons will be in keeping with the idea and spirit of Christmas.

The topics will be: Next Sunday morning, "Gods Gifts". John 3:16; Sunday, Dec. 16, "Christ's Gifts;" Sunday, Dec. 23, "Your Gifts."

We cordially invite you to attend our services. During the summer and fall we were encouraged and gladdened by the large attendance and the good spirit of the people. A church cannot be of use without people. Where there are many people it can be of greatest value. You wouldn't like to live in a community without a church. If it helps you and your community to live better or happier or easier, then support it. it needs your presence as much as your presents, probably more. Don't let the fear of cold weather in the future keep you from church now.

Choir rehearsal will be on Friday evening at 8 o'clock. Come and help out in Christmas singing.

THE BIG IDEA. In our business of retailing clothing it is to think more about what we give to the man who buys from us than we think about what we get from him. It's the greatest business idea we know of. To see how much real value we can put into each purchase, to give more attention to style; to be sure of high quality in fabrics and tailoring; to sell at as low a price as possible-these things help us to carry out the "big idea." WE BUY FOR CASH   WE SELL FOR CASH&Nbsp;  WE SELL FOR LESS   GEORGE T. LINEHAN, The Live Cash Clothier (Successor to Buckminster & Graves) Wolcott, New York.
