Fragmentary verse fragment from a historic column
Fragmentary OCR text hints at a dated poetic piece with religious imagery and a scene of a grave and stars. Named figure Mary Gay Davidson appears in garbled form, with scattered lines about curtains, gates, and sanctified morning. The readable portions are too damaged to extract a coherent event or clear entities beyond the mention of Mary Gay Davidson.
Western Blizzard Escape Recalls Ancient Road Trip
In memory of a 1880-81 blizzard, Sherman House men recount a trek from Sioux Falls to Luverne. A six team convoy battled two to four foot snow, lost way repeatedly, fed exhausted horses, and endured ten hours of desperate effort before reaching a final shelter near The Mounds, then Luverne, with aid from local families awaiting relief.

Fooling the Senators and the Dolph Smelling Committee
Long excerpt recounts Senator Dolph of Oregon proposing a committee to probe executive session leaks, the Dolph smelling committee’s failed efforts, witness defiance by Barries and Harries, and mockery by Detroit Free Press staff.

Includes anecdotes about press access, a brassy shaft tale, and broader gossip about royal collectors.

Food and household tips from old newspapers mix with a rural vignette
A jumble of recipes and home hacks appears from a Springfield Republican page, including orange jelly guidance, curry fish, marmalade, wax floor polish, and croquettes. A Detroit Free Press travelogue then describes Lenzing village livestock life with a baronial hall, cows and horses living harmoniously, neat quarters, and generous husbandry amid a flourishing farmstead.
