His Neck Broken in Two Places
- Arnold Lee Instantly Killed Last Night Near Dow City
- Team Was Startled as Lee Climbed Into Wagon and He Was Hurled to His Death Beneath the Wheels

- Arnold Lee, a well-known Dow City character met sudden death in a runaway accident a mile east of that city last evening. Lee with his companions, John Holliday and John Shafer, were returning from Arion. Near the wagon bridge over the Boyer east of Dow City they met B. M. McElwain on horseback. They stopped to talk with him and Lee got out of the wagon. They were all in a jolly mood and just as Lee started to climb into the wagon one of the party gave a yell. This started the horses and they sprang down the road throwing Lee and Shafer. The latter escaped with a few bruises but Lee had his neck broken in two places and his death must have been instantaneous.

Mr. McElwain rode to town as speedily as possible and help was quickly on the scene but it was at once found that Lee was beyond all help. The body of the unfortunate man was placed in the wagon from which he had been thrown and taken to the undertaking rooms and later the remains were taken to the home. Mr. Lee was a man in the prime of life. He leaves a wife and two children in destitute circumstances. His father and mother, brothers and sisters are also well known Dow City people. Mr. Lee had lived most of his life in the vicinity of Dow City and he was well known to all. At this writing no arrangements have been made as to the obsequies. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of the community.

*A barber in Manning kept his shop open on Sunday, July 25 and shaved several persons and the result was he was arrested and fined five dollars and costs, in all $14.60. We thought such a small thing as that would go unnoticed in Manning, but we find that even in Manning there are law abiding citizens. It was not a violation of any town ordinance but of the statutes of the state of Iowa.

*To the Editor of the Enterprise:
- Dear Sir -
Inasmuch as there was considerable criticism and censure given the Methodist church people last week on the occasion of the funeral of Arnold Lee, for some of the good people of Dow City supposed they had refused to grant the use of the church for said funeral. The undersigned being at present and for a long time past, the custodian of said church property, considers it advisable to say that there was no request made for the use of the church on said occasion, and would further state that the policy of the board of trustees has been very liberal in that respect, giving the custodian the power of granting the use of the church for funerals when he considers it advisable to do so.

And I desire to say further that the church has never been refused at any time for funeral services. The public have appreciated the privilege granted; it is the largest church in the city and most conveniently arranged for large gatherings, giving neighbors an opportunity of showing their sympathy with the bereaved and paying respect to the memory of a departed neighbor. As a personal matter will say that on nearly all funeral occasions in the church, I have given particular attention to all necessary arrangements thereby adding to the comfort of those attending as far as it was possible to do so. In conclusion I will say that should there be any further need for funeral services in our church, just call on or phone me in regard to same.
Yours truly, Thomas Rae, Custodian of Methodist church property in Dow City, Iowa.
Aug. 10, '09.

*The Rebekahs gave a farewell reception to Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Whaley at their home last Friday evening. About thirty were present and the evening was pleasantly spent in playing games after which refreshments were served. Mrs. Whaley was a faithful member of the degree staff and all regret losing her. As a token of esteem she was presented with a souvenir spoon.
*Card of Thanks - We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness and assistance rendered us in the death and burial of our beloved husband, son and brother, Arnold Lee, also for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. A. J. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lee and family.

The loss was complete and to those who claim to know all the facts seem to think a great wrong has been done. We sincerely hope the matter will soon be adjusted because we believe it would be better for all concerned.

*Clair Butterworth sold his meat market, building, fixtures and stock to H. A. Rudd Monday and gave possession Tuesday morning. Mr. Butterworth has been running the business for himself for nearly fourteen years just passed. Before that time he was employed by others for about the same length of time, so he has been a fixture as a Dow City business man so long that he will be greatly missed. We trust, however, that he will find something to do so that he will still remain one of our citizens. Mr. Rudd who succeeds him is a good butcher, having had several years experience in the best shops in Omaha, and will endeavor to keep the business fully up to the standard set by Mr. Butterworth, which has always been to sell only good healthy meat and other meat market products. We wish the new proprietor success.

*Edward Horace Buss was born in Crawford county, Iowa, on April 29, 1871. He has until the time of his death, resided in the county and made his home with his parents. At the age of seven years he was afflicted with sunstroke which permanently affected his mind and destroyed his reasoning and mental powers but until this time, he was the brightest and keenest to learn of any one in his class at school, but after this he would learn a lesson today and tomorrow know nothing about it. Thus leaving him a care for life to his parents and loved ones.

In the year 1906 he was compelled to go to the hospital for an operation which revealed the fact that a cancer of the stomach had formed. After this operation he felt pretty well until eighteen months ago when he was again afflicted with the same dread disease. He was a terrible sufferer but bore his pain and distresses without a murmur unless in a delirium of pain with which he was so often affected. He departed this life on last Friday evening, August 27 at 8 o'clock at the age of 38 years, 3 months and 28 days.

We don't know how the needle was recognized s the same one unless by the expression on its eye. How it got from the young Lady's waist into the man's arm is a secret which baffles science.

*Dow City, Iowa, Oct. 11, '09;
Mr. Rudd, Editor of the Enterprise:
Dear Sir:
- Last Wednesday on reading an appeal in the Christian Home of Council Bluffs, asking for potatoes, a though came to me, why not ask the school children to contribute? So I sent a note to Miss Goddard, also the paper, to read to the children asking her to put the matter before them, asking each one to bring one potato or as many more as they chose. I also asked her to place the matter before Miss Strahan and Miss Wiggins which she did and the same noon I received a note from Miss Goddard saying the children were very much interested and to send the sacks right away (I had related I would see to the shipping and pay the freight).

To my surprise when I weighed them and prepared them for shipment we have 6 ﺵ bu. from only the three rooms. I think it is a good thing to teach young children to think of those who are less fortunate than themselves. I thought it would please the children to see an account of it in the Enterprise. A "Lady of Dow City" P.S. Some of the children brought half a bushel or more. This same Lady would gladly see to the sending of any outgrown garments or shoes in good condition if they were only brought to the same teachers.

*Married - At the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Hallowell last Friday evening at six o'clock, was solemnized the marriage of their daughter, Ada, to Mr. J. G. Rule, Rev. J. J. Varley, a former pastor of the M. E. church here, pronounced the ceremony in a most beautiful and impressive manner. At the Close of the ceremony congratulations were extended, followed by merry jest and cheerful conversation. We know nothing of the refreshments or presents but feel assured the feast was delicious and the presents numerous and valuable.

The bride is a lady of many graces of mind and person, who is capable of filling the home she will adorn with happiness and will prove to be truly a helpmate and companion to the husband she has chosen to honor. The bride has taught many terms of school in this county and two years in Idaho. She was a graduate of the Iowa State College at Ames. The groom was raised to manhood in Paradise township and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Rule who are honored and respected people. He is a young man engaged in the hardware business in Red Oak, Iowa, and will make his mark in the world.

They departed Monday for Red Oak which will be their future home. The congratulations on the happy event are numerous and the Enterprise is pleased to join on this occasion and add its hearty good wishes to those being so freely expressed.

*Bad Fire in Arion - Three Buildings and Post Office with contents Were Destroyed - About 11:30 Sunday evening an alarm was given that fire was burning in the store of C. R. McKeeman, known as the Arion Mercantile Company. The alarm was made general as soon as possible but by the time the fire department got out the fire had spread to that extent that nothing could be done to save either building or contents which were a total loss. The fire also spread immediately to the drug store and postoffice and nothing was saved from that building. The next in path of the flames was the saloon building of Pat Hederman which was destroyed with nearly all the contents. Some of the merchandise was removed from this building but we are informed they were nearly all stolen.

The ice house and barn of Mr. Hederman was also burned as well as some other small out buildings. Another frame building a few feet distant from the saloon, was saved by the arrival of the Dow City fire department who are given credit for some very good work and were throwing water on the flames in twenty five minutes after the telephone message reached Dow City. They were helped to reach there so soon by flagging a freight train and loading the apparatus.

The Charter Oak fire department responded but not being able to get a train at once were too late to be of service. Their willingness and effort is appreciated, however. The Kemming stock of clothing was nearly all removed from the store but by heroic effort that building was also saved. Some damage occurred to the bank across the street by the heat breaking some of the windows. The losses and insurance so far as we were able to learn were as follows: C. R. McKeeman, stock of merchandise loss $12,000; insurance $11,000.

The building which was owned by F. A. Woods, of Lincoln, Neb., and value at $6,000 was no doubt insured but for what amount we could not learn. The post office and drugstore building was also owned by Mr. Woods and is included in the above estimate. M. W. Maxey who owned the drugstore building had $750 insurance while his loss is at least double the insurance.

The entire contents of the postoffice was also burned, the fixtures of which Mr. Maxey, the postmaster owned and will lose. The loss to Pat Hederman on saloon building and contents, ice house and barn was about $2000, on which he carried $1,000. Mr. O. W. Nelson was also a loser to the extent of about $500 on stoves which he had stored in a rear room of the drug store and on which he had no insurance. So far as we could learn there is no intention at present, by any of the losers to rebuild. The loss is a serious one to our neighboring town and we know how to sympathize with them.

Randel, insurance agent, is also in this building.

*We have repeatedly warned boys against doing damage to property on Hollowe'en night, but it has not been heeded and property owners have been to considerable trouble and expense to replace buildings that have been damaged by being overturned. We hope it will not occur again this year. No doubt there will be special police appointed to assist in protecting property but parents could do more than all others if they would keep their boys at home. Those who keep their boys at home will have the satisfaction of knowing where they are and if damage ids done that they are not the guilty ones. I am not speaking against innocent pranks, but those depredations that are committed which cause damage to property.

*Dow City has a restaurant of which the town may be proud. It is a neat brick structure erected by the Odd Fellows and is occupied by W. C. Rolls who has spared no expense to git it up with first class furniture, the equal of which cannot be found in any small town, or even in towns much larger than Dow City. Mr. Rolls is giving people who patronize him the worth of their money. He has a first class helper in the person of Lincoln Goddard who can wait on as many people as any man in a similar position. Courteous treatment is given everyone and it is a pleasure to go there when hungry, because of the satisfaction in obtaining a good, clean first class meal. Mrs. Roll's business has increased constantly since he moved into this place, but in order that it be a permanent success the patronage must continue which in all probability will be the case. We sincerely wish Mr. Rolls the success he so much deserves.

They Celebrate Golden Wedding
- Mr. and Mrs. Morris McHenry are married Fifty Years- Many Friends Honor Them
- Best Known and Beloved Couple in Crawford County Receive Congratulations on Golden Anniversary

*On December 25, 1909 at Dow City, Mr. and Mrs. Morris McHenry celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day. They are both early settlers in this county. Hon. S. J. Comfort came to Crawford county in Sept. 1855 and settled near Dow City bringing his wife and three daughters, Mary L. being the oldest. Morris McHenry came to Mason's Grove in the May following. There were no towns in the county then and people lived in the groves for the wood and shelter. Mr. McHenry came on foot from Council Bluffs and reached the home of Mr. Comfort in the evening, and owing to the absence of Mrs. Comfort, his future wife cooked his first supper in Crawford county.

He reached Mason's Grove the next evening and crossed the Boyer river to Mr. Benjamin Dobson's house. There being no bridges the crossing was made with the horses and wagon on a ferry boat on Dobson's mill dam. There being no surveyor in the county although Mr. H. C. Laub had been appointed but never qualified as he had no compass. He made a bargain with Mr. McHenry that he would go to the County Judge at Coon Creek and get sworn in provided McHenry would work on his farm while he was away. This McHenry was glad to do. Mr. Laub had become quite a friend to the young surveyor and had been sending him quite a number of hard mathematical problems for him to solve which McHenry had worked out to Mr. Laub's entire satisfaction.

Mr. Laub Laub appointed McHenry deputy surveyor and he thus entered upon his life' work. At the August election following (1856) he was elected County Surveyor. Not finding enough surveying to occupy all his time, at the solicitation of the Mason's Grove neighborhood, he opened a day school in a log school house fitted up by J. Dobson and himself and boarded around during the winter of 1856 and 1857 thus happily passing the hard winter. This was the first school in the county.

In October 01 1856 the first church in the county was organized of which Mr. McHenry was a charter member. Rev. William Black of the M. E. church was pastor. His "circuit" took in Crawford, Carroll, Calhoun, Sac, Ida, Monona and part of Woodbury county. In the spring of 1857 Mr. McHenry helped organize the first Sunday school in the county. Geo. C. King was superintendent, McHenry was one of the teachers. At the April election in 1857 he was elected County Assessor and assessed the whole county at an expense to the county of $50.50.

At the August lection of 1857 he was elected County Treasurer and Recorder (one office then). He surveyed the town of Denison in the fall of 1857. Not having surveying for the winter of -57 and 58 he taught school again at Mason's Grove, his future wife being one of the big girls and read in the Fifth Reader. He did not hold on to the Treasurer and Recorder's office to which he had been elected because the judge thought he had enough other offices.

In the winter of 1858 was held the first District Count in and for Crawford County - Hon. M. F. Moore, Dist. Judge: Morris McHenry, Clerk in the absence of the regular clerk, Mr. Purdy. In May 1858 Mr. McHenry moved to Denison and took charge of the Treasurer and Recorder's office, Judge Dow having been elected to that office so that he could appoint Mr. McHenry as deputy, for the people still wanted him to do the business. He retained the office until 1872 when he declined a re-election. The office that he prized most was Superintendent of the M. E. Sunday School to which he was elected on coming to Denison. He held that office most of the time until 1877 when he resigned and moved out of town and was succeeded by Gov. L. M. Shaw.

On December 25th, 1859, he was married to Mary L. Comfort, daughter of Hon. S. J. Comfort, at Denison. There was at Denison only two preachers, Rev. J. W. Denison of the Baptist church. He had a job to marry John Purdy, Clerk of the District Court at Coon Grove some three miles south of town. The Methodist minister, Rev. D. P. Billings, not having been fully ordained could not act so the choice fell on the Methodist Class Leader, Mr. John B. Huckstep, who was a Justice of the Peace. Thus were married two county officers on the same evening - Uncle Morris says he took solid Comfort when he was married and has had solid Comfort for fifty happy years. In the year 1866 he bought the right of way through Crawford county for the Cedar Rapids & Missouri River R. R. now the C. & N. W., also lands at town sites at Carroll, Maple River Junction, West Side, Vail, Denison and Dow City. The two latter were not used because arrangements were made with Mr. Denison and Mr. Dow for their lands.

The Golden Wedding was celebrated on Saturday, Dec. 25, at their home in Dow City. None but relatives having been invited and no presents, printed in plain letters on the cards, a good many valuable presents were quietly slipped in. Congratulations and presents coming both from the Atlantic and Pacific coast. One of the most gratifying features was the hearty congratulations to Uncle Morris and Aunt Mary from the great body of nephews and nieces outside of the family.

Uncle Morris says he was born of poor, but respectable parents on the 29th day of July, 1831, in McHenry Valley, Allegany Co., New York. He is of Scotch Irish descent but in Schleswig he passes as Der Duetscher from Dublin. Mary L. Comfort was born in Adams county, Illinois, Oct. 30, 1842. Both Mr. and Mrs. McHenry are active and cheerful, both are live members of the Methodist Sunday School. Uncle Morris having a class of six or eight boys. Uncle Morris is still county surveyor and is now actively at work on the ditch to straighten the Boyer River. Aunt Mary still keeps her windows full of flowers as of yore. To this union five children were born, the oldest, a little girl, passing away at the age of ten months. Those living are William C., Charles, Mrs. May Wilder and Morris McHenry, Jr. There are thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Their children were all present except W. C. who was absent on account of sickness in the family. The children and grandchildren were there for dinner which was one of the best ever served in Dow City. In the afternoon and evening other relatives to the number of about fifty gathered to enjoy the sunshine of this home and all were served with delicious refreshments. Because of the limited room in their house, and the great number of their friends, only the near relatives could be invited, but their hearts are large and warm enough to hold us all. One item of interest is the Uncle Morris and Aunt Mary were married in the house where C. K. Meyers is now living. The house has been added to, but still is the same.

Among the relatives present were Mr. and Mrs. Sears McHenry, L. Seemann, S. J. Woodruff, A. Heisley, C. F. Cassaday and Leon Cassady, Dr. L. M. Coon and mother of Denison, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Jackson of Omaha, Frank Jackson of Eagle Grove, J. A. Williams and family of Council Bluffs, Mrs. T. G. Bruner, a sister of the bride, of Douglas, Wyom., Mr. and Mrs. Frank McHenry and Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Morrison of Dow City. (there are pictures of Morris and Mary McHenry with this article)
