THE MAZEPPA JOURNAL , Editor and Publisher: Barbara and Reider Tommeraas

APRIL 26, 1946

  Henry W. Degener Rites Held Saturday: Henry W. Degener died Wednesday morning, April 17 at his home as the result of a stroke suffered while at work in his place of business of this village.  He would have been 75th birthday in June.  A son of August and Ernestine Degener, he was born in Pine Island Township June 12, 1871.  He was married in January 1901 to Miss Hulda Kalass, who died February 13, 1930.  In 1932 he moved to Mazeppa to engage in the produce business. He was married in the fall of 1933 to Mrs. Anna Engelhart, who passed away in 1935.
   Lloyd Scott of the Navy spent a short furlough with relatives. He has been in the hospital four months but expects to be discharged in a month.  
   Schools of Dist. 54, 76 and 105 opened Monday after a week’s vacation.  The little folks also started Kindergarten.
   WILLIAM E. HOOK:  Last rites were held for William E. Hook of Wabasha, April 6, 1946.  He began farming in Mazeppa Township where he lived until his marriage to Mrs. Annie Kertz, February 5, 1914 at Theilman, Minn.  
   Local Serviceman Has Narrow Escape:  Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Robinson received word by a letter from their son Dean, describing a hospital fire in which he had a narrow escape.  Although the battle is over, Dean has had a hectic time on Okinawa, last year loosing most of his possessions in the typhoon.  The receiving station is full now so I can’t leave here until they get rid of some men.  So we won’t be leaving tomorrow as planned.  Ships are expected any day, so I’m not looking forward to too many more days on Okinawa!!  
    Remember When:  We used to have a 35 piece band playing on the hotel porch every Wednesday evening……swimming across the local millpond was quite a feat….beef was 10c a pound, and liver was given or thrown away……yard goods was easy, and readymade dresses hard, to get?.....the relief it was, in the spring, to get rid of that long, scratchy winter underwear?......
 Shortest Poem of the Week:
   Next week, in the Mississippi
   The fishing season opens----Yippee!
