    100 Years Ago: Late organist sends message to friends at seance – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the end of August, beginning of September 1922, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    The State Apiarist and the State Beekeeper will be in Greeley to speak to the local Beekeepers Assn. to discuss beekeeping and honey plants. They will also discuss how to prepare bees for the winter.

    Friends of the famous organist Dr. John Gower, said they have been receiving messages from him even though he is dead. In a recent séance, the friends said the doctor told them, "I have slept. I am awake. I am very tired. Later, there will be more. Now let me rest."

    James Wiley Reece, a holy roller and séance conductor, came upon a man with a gun who was going to shoot a rattlesnake nearby. Reece told him not to, and tried to pick up the snake. It bit him. Reece turned to the other man and said, "I'll probably die now, take care of my children." He then died.

    Do you know that Greeley has the third largest saxophone band in the United States? The American Legion Saxophone Band has 51 members now, and more are joining. The band is making good progress and people like the unusual sounds they make.

    Residents from the east side of Greeley were at a City Council meeting to ask council to pass a law, forbidding junk dealers from killing cattle in the junk yards. The resident say they're tired of seeing dead cattle in the yards and cattle hides hanging on the fences.

    Thirty taxpayers from Pierce arrived at the Weld Public Trustee's office and said they wanted the office to re-declare the Pierce school from a second-class school to a third-class school.

    Some men are like popcorn – as long as they keep cool, they can conceal what is in them. But whenever they get excited, they turn wrongside out.

    Column: One Sunday afternoon when I was 10 years old, my boyfriend came over to take me for a ride in his pony cart. While we were riding, the sun was very hot and I was holding an umbrella to shade my head. My boyfriend said his pony was getting hot, so he took my umbrella and held over the pony's head, leaving me in the sun, without even a hat. That ended my first love affair.
