"We desire to express our heartfelt gratitude to the many loving friends for the assistance and sympathy extended to us during the sickness and death of our beloved little Floyd.

Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Conklin,
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Buchanan."

February 1902 Yuma "The new Wullbrandt house north of town is showing up in great shape."



April 1904 " Last Wednesday one of those pleasant affairs, which always please our readers, occurred at the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Waters, the occasion being the marriage of their daughter, Miss Eva, to Morris J. Blake, of Hastings, Nebraska, Rev. Winterbourne officiating. The ceremony was performed at high noon with the accompanying appropriate functions, Mendelssohns Wedding March and the ring service. The groom was dressed in the customary black , while the bride was arrayed in a beautiful gown of Japanese silk, while in her hand she carried a beautiful bouquet of carnations and roses. After the ceremony, a splendid dinner was served and those present did ample justice to an abundance of good things.
The bride is one of those talented and popular young ladies of whom any community may well be proud. She is a graduate of the Greeley Normal school and has been an earnest worker in the educational field in Morgan and Yuma counties. With her charming ways she won the approval of parents and pupils, alike, while her work has been of the highest standard.
The groom is the son of Fred Blake, Hastings' most enterprising meat man; and his popularity is founded not alone upon his sterling integrity, but is also due in a large measure to his genial temperament. During the past five years he has been engaged in the cattle business in this county, but recently entered into business at Hastings where he no doubt will enjoy the same measure of success that has accompanied him in the past.
The invited guests were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Deyo, Mrs. P. A. Wullbrandt, Mr. and Mrs. George Blake, Carl Wullbrandt, Miss Gertrude Wullbrandt. and Miss Bessie VanGordon. The happy couple took the eastbound train for Hastings where they will make their future home. The Pioneer joins their many friends in wishing a long, happy and prosperous wedded life ."

November 1906 "We understand that the element of Wray who believes in the illegal selling of whiskey is out after Crenshaw's scalp and are using the bug poison plentifully to accomplish Bob's defeat. Crenshaw believes in supporting the laws of our land, and you as people would not care to elect an outlaw to one of your offices of trust; he must be a law abiding citizen. We are satisfied that R. M. Crenshaw wonld prefer defeat to having a lawless booze gang manage his campaign. We believe such a gang have had their day, and that not one citizen of our county outside of the gang can be influenced by any amount of whiskey. We have a better opinion of our people and that they are going to re-elect Crenshaw. - Yuma Pioneer of Oct. 26.
The above is a somewhat radical statement, brother editor, and coming from the homo town of P. A. Wullbrandt, too, it must make that gentleman and his friends feel very kindly toward the Pioneer man. An outlaw, eh ? Since when, Mr. Grisell, did Wullbrandt become that kind of a citizen? His reputation heretofore, as vouched for by evety citizen of Yuma, his home town, that has been approached on the subject has been of the highest order. Such politics as in that article makes a man sick and the editor lays himself open to prosecution for libel. What you say about Crenshaw believing in supporting the laws of the land is no doubt true of every man on the Republican ticket. Can the Democrats say as much? Oh, Shorty, Shorty, thou dost lower the profession in using such foul language, and the end you sought by such an abusive article will no doubt make votes for the man you hape to see defeated. f Mr. Crenshaw desires defeat rather than have the votes of the high-license people; whom you class as booze gang, and you class our chairman, W. C. Boggs, and bur secretary, Allen C. Akey, our committeemen, J. M. Boggs, A. L. Kissinger, E. T. Ambler, Asa Miller, W. T. Pair, Rufus Roberts, Frank Boggs, Dan Jackson, Alex Ludlum, J. W. Cody, Wm. Langredoerfer, H. W. Jacksson and C. W. Pickett, as the booze gang who is managing the Republican campaign including that also of P. A. Wullbrandt, then, dear brother, there is not much left. You were certainly mistaken in your text. Better considor the matter again . Perhaps your liver isn't working right, or maybe your politics are wrong. It is the privilege of a hungry dog to howl but an editor and a man ought to find better employment. Tone down that think tank of yours some or the safety valve is liable to become overworked and blow the ding-blamed crown off. You may jump on the Rattler all spraddled out if you wish but don't, please don't, say such unkind things about our candidates; it hurts when it is so very, very — shall we say — untrue? If you make an honest fight you shall receive favors of the people; but they that throw rotten eggs shall be everlastingly - skiddooed."

February 1907 Eckley "Mrs. Peter Wullbrandt of Yuma visited at the section house with Mrs. Eliott several days this week."
