Crittenden County News Items 1904


The Crittenden Press on Thursday, 22 Dec 1904 was full of family visits and more. The following is a sample of what appeared in this popular weekly newspaper published in Marion, Kentucky.. 

J.R. Farris, of Salem, was in the city Thursday visiting his daughters, Misses Lake and Eva, on East Belleville street.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Strachley, of Cincinnati, are expected to arrive Saturday for a short visit to her mother, Mrs. Maxwell.

Ernest Paris, of Cave-in-Rock came over Saturday to visit his mother, sister and brothers, returning home Sunday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. M. Swisher, of Tunica, Miss., are expected here in a few days to spend the holidays with the family of her father, R.H. Kemp.

Richard E. Pickens Jr., of McLeansboro, Ill., is expected home to spend Christmas with his parents here. He has charge of  one of Stinson Bros.’ big stores and is succeeding well in the mercantile business.

Dr. G.E. Shively has just completed a beautiful cottage on the corner of Kevil and East Wilson avenue and will occupy it soon. The house is as convenient and cozy as it is possible to make one. The location is fortunate, too, for a physician’s home.

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Whitney, of Water Valley, Miss., will arrive Sunday morning to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.F. Dorr. After a short stay here they will go to Bowling Green to visit Mr. Whitney’s relatives before returning to their southern home.

Frank Dorroh, of Crayneville, was in the city Saturday. He received a sample box of apples from Washington Territory sent in by some of our former citizens, who are thriving in the west. Frank says the apples are fine but old Crittenden is good enough for him.

Mrs. Kit Nunn went to Repton Friday to spend the holidays with her daughter, Mrs. Henry Hartzell.

Mrs. J.W. Flynn, of Grandview, Ill., will spend the holidays with her mother, Mrs. J.P. Pierce.
