Many Careers by Gus Nohe Told in Springfield Chronicle
In Springfield Illinois March 31-August Nohe, son of Mrs. Mary Nohe of Freeport, recounts a long list of occupations. He served as a train boy on the Galena route during Marvin Hughitt’s era, hawking doughnuts and dried pies to sleeping passengers, then worked as telegraph operator, station agent, dispatcher, and military telegraph operator in the war. He later ran a coal shaft venture, a hotel and stores at Carbondale, was involved in electricity and bucket shops, and served briefly as an alderman. He claims to have manipulated market quotes when telegraph firms blocked him, and he now studies fire and life insurance as chairman of a house committee. Fred Busse tallies his years at 121 years and 6 months, a remark implying extreme longevity.
