Tenderfeet enjoy Greeley social

The April 1887 Ahreeley Tribune reports on the Tenderfoot supper at the Oasis Hotel with Judge Rittenhouse, Miss Maude Clark, Major Wilber and others. It highlights the welcome to tenderfeet, artwork of decorations, the artesian water toast, and speeches on city progress, bonds, and community spirit. It notes local discussions at the Court House about water drainage, parks, and city governance.

Tenderfeet Social Welcome Response Declares Humble Gratitude

Major Wilber addresses the gathering in a humorous speech to the President and attendees. He jokes about the royal welcome given to newcomers and reflects on the difficulty of finding fitting words to express gratitude. The speech highlights warmth toward the Tenderfeet.

Time on Your Programme Marks End of An Era

The speaker laments the passing of the old timer and his omnipotence. The era is ending as the place that once knew him fades from memory, his history now written and fading into the past like a schoolboy’s tale.
