WAS AN EARLY SETTLER
Nathan Soule, Was Member of Michigan Colony of Pioneer Days

Nathan Soule, a pioneer of Plymouth County, died on Sunday, October 16, 1921, at the home of his nephew, Frank Soule in Hinton. Mr. Soule was born in Michigan on June 17, 1845, and came to Plymouth County in the early days, when a large number of Michigan people settled in Lincoln and Hungerford townships. He was one of a family of seven boys and three daughters. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. McCaslin and Mrs. Rice, who live in Michigan.

Mr. Soule was a cabinet maker by trade but indoor life injured his health, and he devoted his energies to out door carpentering.

He suffered from heart trouble the past three years, and death was not unexpected. Mr. Soule never married. He was of a retiring disposition and the very soul of honor, according to those with whom he was closely associated for years. A large number of relatives and friends mourn his loss.

The funeral services were held on Tuesday at the Methodist church in Hinton, the pastor, Rev. D. M. Simpson officiating.

SHOW COMMUNITY SPIRIT

HUSKING BEE HELD TO HELP OUT SICK MAN

Community spirit was evidenced in a practical manner on Friday when neighbors gathered at the home of John Penning and held a regular old fashioned husking bee.  Mr. Penning has been on the sick list for several months and unable to keep up the work on his farm.  Fifty teams and eighty huskers invaded the corn field at day break and by two o’clock had the sixty acres husked and cribbed.  The corn is estimated at a yield of fifty bushels to the acre.  The ladies of the neighborhood fed the crew at a fine dinner, ninety-five dinners being served.

John and Albert Winkel, of Ashton, cousins of Mr. Penning, came down to take a hand in the husking bee.

After completing the husking job at the Penning place, fifteen teams went to the farm of Jake Berkenpas and helped husk his corn, Mr. Berkenpas having put in a lot of time the past few months helping out on the Penning place.

Harry Gaspar went out from LeMars and took photographs of the teams and workers in the corn field.
