Cass County (Ill.) Farm Directory Illinois Visitors Messrs. C. A. Boren and Fred Bollhorst arrived Sunday night from Springfield, Ill., with a tourist party of eleven to spend several days on the B. Y. P. U. grounds. They left this week for Collegeport, where they plan to locate. Mr. Boren and Mr. Bollhorst are well known in Palacios, having visited here many times. They are also representatives for Dr. Van Wormer and are loud in their praise of Palacios and Collegeport. They are especially anxious for the early building of the causeway from Palacios to Collegeport, which they believe will mean much to bring business to our town and country.
We are glad to welcome these splendid
enterprising people to our community. Those in the party are:--Mr.
and Mrs. Jerry Lashbrook and five daughters, Misses Gean, Beulah,
Elizabeth, Bettie and Erma; Mrs. S. E. Lashbrook, Jerry Wells,
Chester A. Boren and F. Bollhorst.--Palacios Beacon, February

----------o---o--------- The ceremony which united that young, tender, innocent, blushing Fredda Ball [Fred Bollhorst] and Terry Lasher [Jerry Lashbrook] last Sunday night was the scene of a happy, hilarious time, but tragedy hovered over the scene--a pitiful tragedy. Mr. A. D Hensley, District Clerk, was here Sunday and he informed me that the situation no doubt would be investigated by the District Court. The County Judge states that the person who performed the ceremony has never qualified as a judge. The County Auditor states that no bond has ever been filed or approved. The County Clerk says no license was ever issued. The County Treasurer states that no fee has ever been received by that office. Clearly this person acted outside the law. Interviewing the minister, we have the information that this person never has been ordained. The District Clerk is of the opinion that the members of the canning club, including the Home Demonstration Agent, may be indicted as accessories before the fact. Nasty mess. But the tragedy is not to the living, for if the union results in a child or mayhap twins, trips, quads, or quints, the poor children will be illegitimate and without a name. My heart pleads goryblood as I contemplate this terrible tragedy. It will take more than the twenty dollars secured from the exhibition to clear all the violators of the law.--The Matagorda County Tribune, Thursday, August 1, 1935 ----------o---o--------- Gilbert Lebkneckler and William Scheer of Beardstown, Ill., who have been on an extended trip through the West visited with Mr. Scheer’s uncle, Fred Bollhorst and J. Lashbrook and family. Mr. Bollhorst accompanied them to the Rio Grande Valley on a sightseeing trip. They left for their home in Illinois Saturday morning.
