Birth notices from The Appleton City Journal, Appleton City, St. Clair, MO, 1887
(partial- Jan 20th thru Mar 24th):
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burns were made to rejoice
yesterday morning by the arrival of a little daughter of about the usual
avoirdupois. To say that Robert is too full of joy for utterance is putting it
very mildly, while Grandpa White sings and dances with glee just as if he was
half as young as he used to be.
(Appleton City Journal, 20 January
1887)
Mrs. P. M. Cox, Sr., last Sunday celebrated
her 88th birth day. There were present besides the family Mrs. L.
Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. J. Lilly, and several others.
(Appleton City Journal, 3 Mar 1887)
Our tonsorial artist, H. C. Wagner, is
rejoicing over the arrival of another bouncing boy in his family, which put in
an appearance Tuesday. Twenty-five years from now if the Republican majority in
this county does not completely obscure that of the Democrats it will not be
Wagner’s fault.
(Appleton City Journal, 10 Mar 1887)
James Crutchfield was stepping unusually high
in the city Friday, all because of the arrival of a fine boy at his house. Who
wouldn’t step high?
