Fred Lammert, a well known farmer residing a short distance northwest of
Postville, was so badly injured in a runaway while returning from that place
last Tuesday evening that he never regained consciousness and died the
following day.

Local Happenings.
A. VanCunin and Dr. Joyee Schmidt motored here form Iowa City Saturday
evening for an over-Easter visit in the home of the latter's parents, Dr.
and Mrs. A.A. Schmidt.

The Goodrich Produce Co. in this city had more business Monday than the
proverbial cranberry merchant, there being five helpers at work beside
Manager Howard Gordon, viz., Wallace Gordon, Ed Thoma, Harry Gordon, Fritz
Meyer and Richard Gordon.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul Koevenig and baby motored here Saturday from Dubuque to
spend Easter in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.J. Meyer.

Mrs. F. Frantzen of Ossian spent Easter here in the home of her sister, Mrs.
W.E. Durno. She was on the way home from Hammond, Ind., where she had been
to make the acquaintance of a little daughter recently born to Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson of that city. Mrs. Wilson will be best remembered hereabouts as
Sylvia Lukenbill of Ossian.

In sending in her subscription remittance to the Herald, Mrs. Anna Redhead
Spurling of Los Angeles, Calif., says: "Have been having such a wonderful
time seeing the beautiful country and getting settled in a little apartment
of our own, and time sure goes by quickly here. We are just delighted with
it all and now think this is where we will spend the remainder of our days.
Best regards to all our dear friends back in the old home town."

On Friday last, J.W. Campbell drove to Cedar Falls after the Postville
delegation at the state teachers college, Carolyn Campbell, Loretta Horgan
and Helen Wegner, whom he brought back with him to spend Easter with home
folks.
