Local newspaper

As an adult, Andy Barthman lived in Deloit, Crawford county, Iowa, United States. Below are transcriptions of newspapers that mention him from the The Denison Review of Denison, Crawford county, Iowa, and environs:

Deloit Items.

[12 July 1911]

[…]

The fourth [of July] was a very quiet day at Deloit. The firecrackers and the flags at the homes were a gentle reminder of the day. Many went to Denison, a few to the lakes, some to Dunlap, while quite a few with their families enjoyed an outing and picnic dinner in the grove.

[…]

The writer was also remembered by R. W. Robertson in serving ice cream Saturday by sending her a very generous dish which was fine.

[…]

James McKim, B. Darling and Andy Barthman enjoyed a couple of days at the lake the past week.

[…]

Our genial and obliging cream agent is ever solicitous of his patrons. Saturday Mr. Robertson not only treated his customers to some superlative ice cream, but he also generosly remembered the parson and his wife. These little courtesies augment one’s business.

[…]

Five cars of stock on the C. & N. W. and two on the I. C. were shipped out of here Saturday evening. They were probably the finest lot of stock shipped from here in some time.

[…]

Maak and Johnson gave a large dance under the big tent Friday night. The Omaha band was secured to furnish the music. A couple of pieces were played on the street in the evening. Teams and autos from all directions came pouring into town, and there was a very large crowd in attendance. We understand 120 tickets were sold.

A meeting of the citizens was held Saturday evening to talk over the plans for the celebration on the 4th. Everyone seemed interested, anxious and willing to do what is necessary to make the day a success. A large crowd is anticipated as the neighboring towns will not observe the holiday, and though this is the last week we can make it a success by a multiplied effort. The children are the most enthusiastic workers and by regular attendance at rehearsals show the real patriotism in their little hearts. Fathers and mothers, encourage them, place an American flag in each child’s hand and teach him to sing “America,” and when he becomes a man Uncle Sam will have no fear of a weak backbone.

[…]

Bert Darling and Andy Barthman have been spending a few days at Lake Okoboji.

[…]

The Deloit boys went to Boyer Sunday afternoon to play ball. As they drove into town Eddie Johnson’s horse was frightened and became unmanageable and dashed into the store window. Besides a broken store window, the nice new buggy was broken nearly all to pieces. The horse and Eddie received some bruises, but were not badly hurt. It was lucky to be no worse.

U. S. Dunbar resigned his position in the meat market last week.

[…]

Eugene Brogden and Andy Bartman have rented the meat market and opened up the shop Tuesday morning. Both have been in the business before and will do their best to please their patrons and should have the support of town and neighborhood.

[25 December 1912]

Andy Barthman returned from his trapping expedition a few days ago.

[…]

A splendid program was rendered before a crowded house Friday evening by the pupils of each room of our school. It would be better if such programs appeared oftener. A hearty laugh cheers and lightens up the gloom.

Deloit Items.

[5 February 1913]

[…]

Wm. Jepsen moved into the hotel last week. They are not prepared to open the hotel yet, but have opened the meat market. Andy Barthman has been employed to take charge.

[…]

The boys had a little sport Saturday evening when they went to the home of James Delaney to charivari their daughter, whom they supposed to be married, but they were mistaken. It has been some time since Deloit has had any weddings and the boys haven’t had the chance of such sport. Dame rumor says we are to have some weddings in the near future, however.
