Minnewaska Ice has been sold

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, Oct. 2, 1924

Mrs. Edward E. Barsness received the sad news from Klamoth Falls, Ore., on Wednesday night that her father, W. S. Toombs, had passed away that afternoon. Mr. Toombs died after three week’s siege of typhoid fever. Hope for a recovery was held out to the last, but complications set in which brought his life to a close. A full obituary will be published next week.

The Minnewaska Ice, which has been in the ice business since August 1903, sold out their interest to O.E. Manor of Minneapolis on the first of the month. In 1903 when Mr. Boyer took over the ice business there was no ice delivery, and the ice house was situated where the Standard Oil filling station now is. This burned down shortly afterwards and the present ice house was built. Since Mr. Boyer passed away last winter Mrs. Boyer has had charge of the ice business. She retired from the business when she sold out to Mr. Manor on October 1st. Mr. Manor who has been in the same business in the past is going to give the people of Glenwood the same splendid service as was given by Mr. and Mrs. Boyer.

All coupons issued in 1924 will be accepted by the new firm. Anyone wishing to cancel or redeem unused coupons may do so by calling on me or at the First National Bank. Mrs. G.T. Boyer.

A man by the name of Smith was taken to the Glenwood hospital last Monday evening to receive medical attention for a badly crushed hand. The injurywas received while the man was filling a silo at his home near Villard.

From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, Oct. 2, 1924

Mrs. Ann Hutchins of Glenwood was very badly hurt on Monday afternoon of last week. While the Ford in which she was sitting was standing at the side of the Madison Lake road a mile and a half from Mankato at about three o’clock in the afternoon, a Buick sedan crashed into the rear of it and pushed it for about 100 feet. Mrs. Hutchins who is about 70 years old was thrown from the car and her head hit a stump. She received a scalp wound, but it is thought that her skull is not fractured. She was taken to the Immanuel hospital.

Notes from Public Library: Mrs. Helen Pederson, librarian at the public library, wishes to express her thanks to the girls who sold tags for the benefit of the library last week, and to all who purchased tags. The receipts of the sale amounted to $45.00, which will be devoted to the purchase of new books. A number of new children’s books have just been received at the library. The librarian extends an invitation to all to visit the library and make use of its facilities.

The grain samplers have never been more busy than they have been during the last month. During the past month according to L.D.

They contained all kinds of grain, wheat, rye, barley and flax. During the last few days the daily average has been between 250 and 450 cars.

From the Starbuck Times, Friday, Oct. 3, 1924

John Rud, who has been leasing the butcher shop at Kensington this summer, made a deal Saturday by which he bought the building, equipment, fixtures, two lots, barn and garage from the owner Adolph Wicklund. The building has living rooms upstairs which he is renting out. John has had a fine business this summer and was so pleased with it he decided to buy it. L.O. Smedstad, formerly of Lowry, has been working for him.

G.A. Hagert, Starbuck’s popular harness and shoe repair man, last week installed a fine new shoe finishing machine. It is a Landis machine and is driven by a Century one h.p. motor. It has a suction fan which draws away all dust made by the polishing wheels and throws it out of the building. Mr. Hagert has been known for his good service and work, and the new machine will enable him to give still better and quicker service to his growing list of patrons.

Alfred Evjen won the Cuban parrot given away at the Purity Drug Store last Saturday evening. The parrot and cage went to the 10th name drawn and Mr. Evjen was the lucky one. Mr. Arneson has not received the parrot vet but expects to in a short time. The first parrot died the morning after arriving here and the second died enroute. He hoped to be able to deliver a real, live parrot to Mr. Evjen on his third attempt.
