Who is Wallace Newmann?

June 16, 1932 - Rained this a.m. so they had to come in from the field.  They went out again this p.m.  Mom and Ray came out this evening.  They brought some ice and we made ice cream.  Today is Annie and Ola's wedding anniversary.  They've been married six years.  Mrs. Maud Smith's birthday.
June 17, 1932 - Rained last nite.  Edwin came here about 12 o'clock.  He's been in town and couldn't get home because of the rain.  He went home this a.m.  Took a nap with the kids this p.m.  Today Annabelle said to me, "Marian, can't you know nothing?"  Wrote to school kids, Jane, Aunt Nan and Mrs. Smith.
June 18, 1932 - Annie mixed bread this morning and I tended to it.  Also made a cake and pie.  Aunt Lena and Uncle Hans here this p.m.  Went to the dance at Hoskins tonite with Ray.  Had lunch and came home with Wallace Newmann!  Had a real good time at the dance.

Wallace Newmann is an entirely new name for this diary.  And he warranted an exclamation point.  I looked a few entries down the road and I didn't see his name again.  I find that humorous for some silly reason.

I haven't done any Winside history for a time, so here we go with where I left off, 1895:

     June 17, the board voted that Main street, between Weible's store and the Carter store be roped off for the 4th of July, and speakers stand and booths be allowed to be erected in the street and the village marshal be instructed to allow no teams on this street -- allow not to exceed six shades to be erected in the park -- the marshal to be further instructed to wrap all trees in the park to protect them from abrasions and breakage, and allow no other buildings in the park on the 4th of July.
     July 17, Estimate of expense for the ensuing year, $1631.99.  Mill levy was set at eight mills.

And because that wasn't much to read and also because the first item for 1896 made me snicker, I am including 1896 now instead of waiting for a future post:

     January 6, D. J. Cavanaugh was instructed to notify Louis Lorke to run a more orderly saloon or suffer the consequences.
     February 7, it appears by the tax list of the county of Wayne for the year of 1895, that the county clerk apportioned 3 18-100 miles of the C. St. P. M. & O. Railway Co., as subject to taxation in the village of Winside -- whereas in fact there is but 1 11-100 miles -- it is hereby resolved by the Board of County Commissioners, the County Clerk or the County Treasurer is hereby authorized to correct such error and correct the amount of village tax to be paid by the railway be in accordance with the actual amount of mileage there.
     May 4, a saloon license this year, $400.00.
     June 1, a side walk was laid on the north side of the park.
     June 5, Edwards and Bradford Lumber Co., was awarded the contract for dimension lumber for the town at $19.00 per thousand.
     July 6, Estimate of village expenses for the year $1070.00.  Levy for the year of 1896-1897 was made eight mills.
     October 6, the village attorney was instructed to notify the R. R. Co. to enlarge the culvert across the railroad ditch on Whitten street, enough to carry off the water without flooding the street and city park.
     December 7, by an agreement of the town, the town hall rents to the board for $2.00 per month and to the Justice of the Peace for $1.00 per month.

And there you have it.  The photo is of Ola and Annie since their anniversary was mentioned.
