Jefferson Democrat
March 28, 1891 Part #2

Big Springs Spray

Messrs John WEASE & Tbur.(?) BYRONS are both very low with pneumonia at this
writing.

VANDERCRUYREN's (?) mill does the grinding for the surrounding neighborhoods
& has a large patronage from other locations.

Our roads have been kept in good shape for traveling, the past year. Aug.
SCHULZE, our road boss, has undoubtably made a good overseer

There have been a power of sickness in this part of the county the past
month. Our Dr's GULBOR (?) & WILLIAMS, have been riding day & night

Fritz BOEMIER is in bad luck. He was married some three weeks ago & has been
sick ever since. He took sick the day he was married. We hope he may soon
get well

I have understood that citizens on the west side of the river are talking of
bringing Mr. FRANZ out and reelect him road overseer. My opionion is that
they could not select a better man for that position

Since my last letter, we have moved & located at the Big Springs, near
VANDERUAYECU's (?) Mill. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Meramec
Twsp, situated near the mouth of Head's(?) Creek. The valley is wide &
level, the land is rich & productive; the farmers are all industrious &
econimical and consequently, their lands are in a high state of cultivation

The Cooperative Store Association at House Spring's have held their annual
meeting & elected an entire new set of officers. John BRIMMER (?) is now the
President, Ferdinand WEBER, Treasurer & Harvey WINER is Clerk & Salesman.
After taking an invoice of stock, they found quite a (? looks like
rumun??i?ve), devided for the stockholders. Kroat(?) BOUACHER(?), who has
been acting as Clerk for the Co. the past year, is a young man of
extrardinary qualifications & has made a splended salesman
