Writes Letter
Everett, Wash., February 20, 1933
Editor Sutherland Courier, Sutherland, Iowa
Dear Sir:
A wonderful pleasure has been afforded to me very recently; the
pleasure of reading the Fiftieth Anniversary edition of your
paper. How it has brought back to memory scenes of my early days;
of school day chums and class mates; of many events that had
almost passed from memory.
As I now recall it, I came with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Spence to Sutherland in the early part of 1882. I well remember
that we only came as far as Peterson by rail and thence to
Sutherland by wagon. The railroad reached town late that year.
Houses being very scarce at the time, it seems to run in my
memory that father finally located some living quarters upstairs
over what I believe was then L. Fairbanks' store. My father early
secured employment at his trade as wagon maker in the shop of Mr.
Van Horn.
My first schooling was under Miss Susie Davis, then on to Henry
Chesley and later to C. O. Holly. My father built two different
homes in the south part of town, the last one being the first
north of Dennis O'Brien. I worked during the summer school
vacation in 1887 and 1888 on the farm of A. C. Bailey and I
notice by the paper that he is still there. Could any boy of
those early days there ever forget A. C. Bailey? How he used to
bring in great wagon loads of the finest watermelons ever grown.
Each fall would see Asa selling some of his loads and giving the
rest to us boys.
As I look over the paper I recall again names that were almost
lost to my memory, Alice Reager, Pearl Ciley, Clay Jordan, Edith
and Edna Towberman, Roy Inman, Bert Rhoades, Mary Rowland, Dora
Briggs, John and Lucia Hitchings and many others. Of them all, it
has only been my privilege to have met with but one of those
early boyhood friends and school mates. I had the pleasure of a
short visit with John Hitchings in Winnipeg in the year 1911 when
I was returning to my home here from an extended trip East.
My parents moved from Sutherland to Sheldon in the summer of
1888. I finished the summer at Asa Bailey's ranch and went to
Sheldon to my home. Later we moved to South Dakota and in 1898 I
joined the 1st So. Dak. volunteers and went to the Philippines.
Upon return from there, I remained in South Dakota until Mar.
1901 when we all moved to Everett, Washington, my father and
mother, my brother Arthur and my wife and myself.
My father and mother are both gone, each passing on during the
year 1914. During practically all of my nearly 32 years here I
have been connected with city, county, state and federal
positions. At present I am engaged in the insurance work here in
this territory.
How I would enjoy a visit back to good, old O'Brien county, to
meet some of those old pioneers and my own older relatives and
make acquaintance with many new relatives that I have never even
seen nor heard of. I think that my last visit to Sutherland was
during the year of 1890 or 1891. It was through the personal
acquaintance of Mr. Floyd Martin, who resides here in Everett,
that I had the pleasure of securing your half century anniversary
edition. Floyd and I were friends here for a number of years
before we discovered that we had each trod the soil of Iowa, in
and around Sutherland in each of our boyhood days. And did we
visit through the pages of that special edition? Neither of our
wives could even interrupt us! Just one more word in closing and
that is to commend you for that very wonderful edition; the
excellent results of much long, hard work.
Very respectfully yours,
R. A. Spence
1501 Grand Ave.
Everett, Wash.
Fifty years ago it was "Rollie" Roland Spence. My
relatives there consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Bryant and Mr. and
Mrs. Abe Hill, uncles and aunts of mine, the aunts, in each case,
were sisters to my father. I presume that they are all gone long
ago, but there must remain yet some of many cousins. Mr. and Mrs.
Ed Triplett (Annie Bryant), Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Triplett (Maggie
Bryant), Walter, Cliff and Roscoe Bryant, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Holly (Daisy Bryant), Mr. and Mrs. Billy Reager (Blanche Hill),
Otho and Will Hill.
The youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hill died Monday

of the time he acted as personal teamster to Gen. and Mrs. Geo.
A. Custer. He received his discharge in the spring of 1873 at
Yankton, Dakota territory.
In 1892 he moved his family to O'Brien county, Iowa, and in 1908
took up his residence in Sutherland. He lived in Sutherland until
the death of his wife, July 4, 1926. Since then he has spent most
of his time with his son, L. D. Gaskill, in Burke, S. Dak.
Wherever he went he made hosts of friends who held him in high
esteem, because of his honest convictions and his integrity.
