Missing silverware


Wed., June 5, 1935 - Howard came up tonite to see if Ray could take us tomorrow.  Ray's going to take us and Howard is going along, too.
Thurs., June 6, 1935 - Ray came about 2:00 p.m.  We left here at 4:00 and didn't get to Trena's until 7:30.  The dance was at Washington. We left the dance at 1:00, stopped at Trena's for my silverware and got home at 4:40.  Had a good time.
Fri., June 7, 1935 - I slept until 11:00 this morning.  When I got up I looked over my silverware.  Half a dozen knives were gone.  I wrote to Trena right away.  Howard stopped to take me to the Dane dance at Carroll but I was too tired to go.

Well, as late as it was when they went to get it, it is no wonder Grandma didn't notice her missing knives.

Turning down a chance to go to a Dane dance . . . she must have been really tired.

Here's the rest of 1910 from the Winside history book:

     July 14, F. S. Tracy sold his hardware store to parties in Stanton.
     August 4, Estimate of city's expense for the ensuing year was $3,237.86.
    September 5, Winside teachers commenced their school terms today in the following districts:  Ida Heyer, No. 16; Olga Johnson, No. 24; Alice Brown, No. 28N; Minnie Hansen, No. 28S; Clara Heyer, No. 41; Ethel Prince, No. 62; Hazel Davis, No. 65; Edith Prince, No. 70; Gertrude Bayes and Josephine Carter in No. 39.
     September 6, Tinky Smith has completed the sidewalks around the school.
     September 15, the Woman's Club wants everyone to save all of your old papers.  Receptacles are placed at E. W. Cullen, Brune and Co., and the post office business places.  The proceeds from a carload will be used to buy library books.
    October 1, Post Office moved from the Frank Tracy hardware store to the east part of the A. H. Carter building.  (Same location in 1941.)  John and Fred Miller have rented the store building just vacated and will open a restaurant.
     October 27, A. T. Chapin gave the fire boys an oyster supper at the restaurant, in appreciation of their quick response to the fire at his place.  Mr. Chapin managed to get the flames out before they arrived but he appreciated their quick response.
     November 3, George Farran, I. O. Brown, Henry Trautwein and Lloyd Holcomb returned today from a hunting trip, bring back 200 ducks.  Omaha boosters arrived today.  The crowd waited nearly two hours out in the cold for them but were well repaid.
     November 12, Charles Unger had a cement roof placed on his new house but proving unsatisfactory it was removed and is being replaced with an ordinary shingle roof.
     November 17, Dick Waddell now makes his rural route trips in two wheel covered cart, which is easier on the team as well as the driver.     December 1, Hans Gottsch bought the John Jaszkowiak residence property opposite the new Lutheran church.
     December 14, the board of education plans to have the 12th grade added, if enough are interested to justify it.

The Omaha boosters came to wait for the ducks to arrive?  I wonder if the oyster supper was held in the restaurant mentioned one item previous.  Maybe Winside had only one restaurant in 1910.
