“Passing of Pioneer. Hardly a week passes by without the removal for all time to come of some old settlers—passing over the border line, into that ‘undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler e’er returns’. Hardy pioneers were they; digging and delving and causing this land to bloom like the rose of Sharon. Grand people were they too, heroic souls, forceful and courageous. We have a few left. May life be pleasant to them. The blessings we now enjoy are traceable to their inconvenience and labor in days that are past and gone. Give the old settler a warm greeting, his days are passing swiftly by and the scenes he once knew so well he will soon know no more forever.” (Reardan Gazette: 11-13-1903)
