IDENTITY OF LOCAL
“Ye ‘Ed’ has given us the
pleasant task of writing about
ourself—if you suffer, don’t
blame us, here goes:
“We were born on a cold Feb
ruray afternoon in our birthday
suit sometime in 1900, or near
ly so. Those present were Dr.
Nitwit (a real name), a nurse
and our father, a methodist
preacher, and our mother, whose
father was also a methodist
preacher. Father considered it
mother’s fault and has never
forgiven her.
“They became estranged ’Short
ly afterwards. We reached the
age of all-day suckers without
misadventure and were educat
ed at Huckleberry schoolhouse
near Georgetown, Deieware, at
the Fry School, Las Animal, Col
orado and a few others we’re
unable to recall. Went to the
U. of Colorado but they didn’t
like our line.
“At the tender age of 13 we
ran away from home and voy
aged to South America on a
‘wind-jammer’ out of New York
and got very sea-sick, returning
home to eat. We have eaten
much “corn willie ’ with the
doughboys and many beans with
the sailors.
AH HA! HERE HE IS!
“We married a girl who ‘yost
cum over’’ some years ago and
taught her to speak American,
she being a graduate of the U.
of Minn., and between us are
the proud parents of one bounc
ing bunch of good humor, now
about two years old, Patricia
Ann Warrington (Our correct
1 title being Charles King Warr
! ington).
“We have made 4622 Larkspur
I Avenue, San Diego, Calif., are
home port for the past thiee
years but would rather live in
Seward. I know Mrs. Wan ing
ton and Pat will agree with me
when I tell them of Seward. We
