THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN
July 30, 1903
An Old Settler
We received a call Saturday from one of the old timers in Fremont
county, Jason Rector. Mr. Rector first came to this county in
1847 and remained here a little over a year and went back east
and was married but returned to the county again in 1849, and has
resided here ever since. He was lived on the farm he now occupies
since February 1850, and he rather thinks that he is pretty
familiar with the place. Mr. Rector is a splendid citizen, and we
trust that he still has many more years to live and enjoy life.
New Principal of Schools at Randolph
The Harlan Republican has the following nice words
concerning Prof. Peterson, the newly elected principal of schools
at Randolph: "Allan Peterson has been chosen principal of
schools at Randolph, Fremont county, for the ensuing year, at
salary $70 per month. Mr. Peterson has been some years getting
through the state normal at Cedar Falls it being necessary that
he earn most of the money with which to pay his expenses although
his father helped him what he could. The time has now come when
he can reap some advantage from the months of effort he has sown,
and his many Shelby county friends rejoice with him. When a young
man gets an education by his own efforts, he generally has
something, and knows how he got it and what he got it for. If
Allan does not make a pronounced success of his work the judgment
of many friends will be wholly wrong."
Those Lost Methodist Records
In conversation with a SUN representative Mr. Arch. Mann, of
Thurman, added a little to early Methodist history in this county
thus: The first organization was at John E. Beatty's in October
or November of 1850. Another class was organized at William
Rector's in the summer of 1851. The first Presiding Elder was
John Hayden, and the first quarterly conference was held near
Waubonse in 1852. The early records were taken by John Beatty to
his home near Union, Nebr., when he removed to that place and
later were destroyed by the burning of his house which occurred
after Mr. Beatty's death.
Goes To Thurman
Will Adams expects to open a photograph gallery at Thurman next
week. Workman are putting in a skylight now. His rooms will be in
the upper story of the Warner building over the dry goods store.
Mr. Warner was in town Monday to complete some of the
arrangements. Will is a bright young man, of pleasing manners and
he understands his work thoroughly. He couldn't help being an
artist since he has been brought up in his father's studio. The SUN
wishes him success, and congratulates the Thurman people on his
locating there.
