The life story of William Hurley, father of Mrs J S Innes, is recounted from a St Paul Pioneer Free Press issue. Hurley, 87, pioneer resident, soldier and first city newspaper carrier, died of pneumonia at his home on a Sunday afternoon. He arrived in St Paul in 1854, the year the city was incorporated.
Irish born Mr. Hurley came to St. Paul as a boy settling near West St. Paul where a street bears his name.

If the 47 car load of smutty spring wheat discounts 3 to 15 cents per bushel, a 4 cent discount would cost farmers $2,820. This foregone income could instead buy 12,260 pounds of copper carbonate to treat the crop, enough to seed the spring wheat area and curb smut.
