County road patrolmen found the

Lisbon with the diesel patrol with a
plow then going north out of 1As-

miles in all. By the time he start-
ed back the wind was drifting the
snow so he could hardly see where
the plow had been.
Lester Caraway and Virgil Long-
erbeam took the truck with a plow
and went west thru Bertram to the
paving and from Mount Vernon to
Springville. This outfit couldn't do
a very good job with the wet snow.
The packed, wet snow was too
much for the truck plow and it
folded up on the Charles Wickham
road on Wednesday. It is expected
to be repaired and back in use by
this afternoon.

New School Directors
Recalls Early Days
In Cedar Rapids,
Mount Vernon
The first of the charter members
of the Hawkeye-Record's Fifty-
Year Farmers club, Charles Travis
of Mount Vernon, was born in 1858
four miles west of town on a 287-
acre farm owned by his father,
Daniel Travis. The site of his prig-
lnal home was near to the present
residence of Fred St~neking.
Daniel Travls acquired the land
from Andrqw Safely, who had ob-
tained the acreage from the gov-
ernment.
Many interesting boyhood exper-
iences are recalled by Mr. Charles
Travis. He recollects, for instance,
when Marion was the flourishing
metropolis of the county and Cedar
Rapids was a small place located
mainly on what is now First street.
RECALLS RIVER FERRY
What is now Cedar Rapids' west
side was then known as Kingston.
Mr. Travis says, and was formerly
,cached only ~by ferry boat. When
the first bridge was built across the
Cedar river pedestrians were charg-
ed a toll of a penny a.piece and
wagons 10 cents.
"~edar Rapids had the right kind
of men," Mr. Travts says, "while
Marion fought off the first packing
plant and th cereal mill, Cedar
Rapids welcomed them, and they
helped make the city."
His early memories of Mount
Vernon go back to the time when
all the buildings on ,Main street
were of wooden construction and
the Cornell campus was surrounded
by a board fence in order to pas-
ture cattle.
BERTRAM POP~U,~--
,Mr. Travts received his early
schooling at the Caraway school,
which at one time had 64 .pupils.
This condition was due to the pres-
ence of many woodcutters in the
timber near Bertram. During this
era Bertram was quite a populous
place housing four saloons and was
noted for wild escapades on Satur-
day nights.
"rhree teachers of Mr. Travts at
the Caraway school were Ella Ox-
ley, Tom Colwell and Mike Cava-
naugh. Mr. Colwell lasted only
three weeks, .being unable to quell
the bad boys who made him the
target of their corn shooters. Mr.
Cavanaugh succeeded him and gave
a whipping to the bigger boys. He
spent a number of terms at the
school and M~r. Travis remembers
him as a fine teacher.
Despite the hardships of country
life in that day, Mr. Travis 'believes
that folks had better times then
than now. During the winter neigh-
bors used to assemble first in one
home and then in another, and the
children and adults both reveled
in simple pleamwes.
Another early memory is the
troubles of the North Western rail-
Httgh Roberts Photo
CHARLES TRAVIS
road trains in making the steep
grade west of Mount Vernon. In
those days the grade was not cut
down as much as it is now and the
little locomotives of that time often
became stalled. A pusher engine
used to be kept regularly at Ber-
tram and sometimes another en-
gine had to be called out from
Lisbon.
The first track of the North
Western line was laid to Cedar
Rapids shortly before he was born
but Mr. Travls says his father used
to tell how the railroad celebrated
Its extension by giving free rides to
l everyone from Cedar Rapids to
Clinton. They gave only the one-
way trip free, however, and some
of the folks without money for re-
turn fare had difficulty getting
home.
SINGLE-SHOVEL PIA)%V
As a young man Mr. Travls plow-
ed with a one-horse single shovel
outfit and it was necessary to make
two trips for each row. The first
riding plow ever turned out around
here he says was made by a man
named Kynett at Lisbon.
Mr. Travis was married to La-
Vcrna Buscnbark in 1886. A few
years later he traveled to Center
Point one day to buy cattle but
bought a farm instead, securing
improved acreage for $38 an acre.
The Travls' lived there six years,
then selling the land for $65 an acre
:and returning to operate the orlg-
!Inal Travls farm west of Mount
Vernon.
On this place they lived until
the death of Mrs. Travis in 1917.
Mr. Travls moved from the place in
1921, Four children of the Travis'
include R. A. Travls and Oren
Travls of Mount Vernon, Mile of
Cedar Rapids and Mrs. Ira Mills of
Cedar Rapids.
1868. When he was three months
old the family came to the United
States and to Iowa where they set-
tled in Cedar county.
On Jan. 7, 1907, he was united in
marriage with Miss Lottie Gibbone
of Lisbon, .Mr. Lynch was a long
time resident of Mechanicsville,
where he served as mail carrier for
fifteen years and was a veteran
auto salesman.
Funeral services will be held at
10 o'clock Friday at St. Mary's
Catholic church in Mechanicsville
with :burial there in Rose Hill ceme-
tery.

Will Dedicate New Hyn~u~ls On
Sunday
The entire service of worship at
the Lisbon Methodist Church on
Sunday morning, March 16th, will
be given over to the singing of
hymns from tile new Methodist
.Hymnals, which will be dedicated
at this time.
Fifty copies of this Hymnal have
been provided by generous folks in
the church, who have been anxious
that "the best Hymnal in Methodist
History," should become the must-
cal inspiration of the service of
worship.
This new Hymnal reflects the
whole history of church music
from the first century to the twen-
tieth. Every period is included.
The poetry of the hymns comes
from writers in nearly every Chris-
tian Nation and from practically
every denomination.
Those who love good music ar,
cordially invited to be present at
this service, 10:30 Sunday morn-
ing.
IREPAIR
I GLASS WINDOW IN
Two artifices from Chicago and
several local assistants put the
large stain glass window, which
fills almost the entire west side
of the ,Lisbon Methodist church, in-
to perfect repair last week. This
wonderful window, for design and
color, was placed in the church
forty-two years ago, when the
building was erected. Heavy north-
west winds had loosened the rods
and weakened the joints, and it
became necessary to give it this at-
tention to save it in beauty for fu-
!ture generations.
The fee was $100.00 and that was
but 5 per cent of the original cost.
One will look far to see a more
beautiful window in conception and
i picture. The colors are as bright
and delicate as when placed years
ago.
