| 181 | Burlington Hawk Eye | Burlington, Iowa | Friday, August 05, 1927 | Page 5. Youngster Saves Pennies To Buy Book of Lectures For His Mother. "Here's thirty-five pennies I saved, I want one of Dr. Osborne's book of lectures for a present for my mother." This came from a small boy whose head hardly reached to the top of The Hawk-Eye counter when he came in yesterday afternoon. Standing on tiptoes he emptied a small pocketbook and out poured 35 pennies. The boy, himself, a pleasant-faced youngster, was a manly little fellow with an intelligent friendly appearance, the kind of a youngster a parent could be proud of. Naturally a boy who would have 35 pennies to buy a book for his mother could not go unnoticed. It developed that he is Ralph Marohn who lives with his mother, Mrs. Alice E. Marohn at 802 Emmett street. Little Ralph is just 9 years old. Although Just a boy he has been a wonderful help In his home, especially as his mother has been incapacitated much during the last year thru sickness. He has taken care of her as tenderly as would a trained nurse. He had the benefit of a wonderful mother, too, and he is learning to accept responsibility early. A long time ago he recognized that with money scarce, birthday presents for him would have to be earned, so he began saving his money to buy "Hobert's Bible Stories" as his own birthday-his birthday coming October 14. Last Sunday Ralph heard his mother say she enjoyed the essays by Dr. Naboth Osborne that appear in The Hawk-Eye each Sunday, and she wished she could get the book of essays that has been printed. "Can't I take some of my pennies and get the book for you," asked Ralph. 'Td like to get it for you mother." "But you are saving your pennies for your own book for your birthday," the mother replied. "Yes, I know," the little fellow responded. "It will take me a little longer I expect to get my book, but I would like to get this for you If you will let me." Who could have resisted that offer which came direct from a boy's heart thru the love for his mother. Who wouldn't give everything In the world to have such a boy who would sacrifice his own birthday present to buy a book for his ailing mother. | Marohn, Ralph Leroy (I84)

| 193 | C.R. voice falls silent City Council-meeting regular Casten, 76, commits suicide By Rick Smith, The Gazette Cedar Rapids – H.J. “Doc” Casten has been a regular citizen voice at City Council meetings and the kind of critic elected officials come to love. A former truck drive and business agent for Teamsters Local No.238, he always sprinkled suggestions for better government with a good thing to say about the city and the council. It was a dependable mix. Casten 76, never surprised. Until now. After emergency colon surgery and the pain and discomfort that his wife said would not subside in the month following the surgery, the mild-mannered Casten killed himself at his home, 187 Carter St. NW. His wife Shirley, said she had gone to the pharmacy May 22 to pick up some stomach medicine for him and found him dead when she returned. Shirley Casten said her husband had insisted on no obituary, no funeral and no burial. He was cremated. Mayor Paul Pate said this week that the suicide startled and saddened him and his council colleagues. :He’s always been upbeat, uplifting,” Pate said. “He never complained about himself. He always had good things to say about the city.” Shirley Casten said her husband began attending council meetings several years ago when he tired of people who would complain about City Hall but would never go there to voice an opinion. He decided he would. Some probably thought Casten showed at the council gatherings – which are taped for telecast on the local cable station – so he could see himself on TV. But he couldn’t. “We don’t have cable,” his wife said. The respectful retiree sat apart from the handful of other citizen regulars who often speak at council meetings, and it was his stew of praise and suggestions that earned Casten credibility among council members, Pate said. “He’d say, “This is one I think you missed, and I hope you do better the next time,’” the mayor said. Casten was a strong advocate for veterans, public transportation and public safely and recently had been named to a City Hall task force to study the city’s police helicopter program. This spring Casten suggested that the council delay more spending on bike trails so it could save some jabs slated for layoff at the Street Department. In the past, he questioned why the council raised the bar from $5,000 to $10,000 on the size of city purchases that needed council review, saying, “Accountability, when you’re handling large sums of other people’s money, cannot be overdone.” Casten had been known, too, to tell the council to be careful raising taxes and utility rates, saying the increase hit retirees hard. “I don’t want to leave Cedar Rapids, but every time someone aims at my pocketbook, I have to look at a road map,” Casten said once. Casten, who grew up in Morning Sun in Louisa County, was called “Doc” and not his given name, Herman. The nickname stuck after he returned from mechanic school as a young man with a doctor of mechanics certificate, his wife said. Shirley Casten said she met her husband in the Kansas City area and they married a week later. They were married 51 years and had a son and daughter, she said. After heart surgery a few years ago, he made a point to walking two miles every day in his neighborhood. “Sometime it took him a while to get back here if he found somebody to talk to,” Shirley Casten said. “People said he always knew what was going on in the neighborhood.” More than that, he made it a point to try to know what was going on in all of Cedar Rapids. But he never hinted that he knew it all or that he ever would. “He was a gentleman, “Pate said. “He was a breath of fresh air. He’s a voice we’re going to miss. The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

| 200 | Cambridge Jeffersonian. 25 April 1907. Page 5. Celebrate 21st birthday. Last Tuesday evening, April 16th, 1907, was an evening long to be remembered by Mr. and Mrs. John Glasgow, their sons and the young folks of Antrim, and surrounding community, it being Johnnie Glasgow’s 21st birthday. A scheme was worked to get him in the evening to help Wm. Pulley cut down an old cherry tree that he pretended was touching the telephone wires. Johnnie with his cross cut saw went up to help his neighbor as he thought with a job that was needful and after they got through he remained a while until another neighbor could come and go to town and accompany him as far as his father’s home. The young folks commenced pouring in until there were sixty-five. The mother thinking it time for her son to come home ‘phoned up telling him there was a gentleman at home anxious to see him. When he came he found a house full of friends with laughing faces all ready to greet him. He was greatly surprised but took it all cheerfully and told them if he had known they were coming he would have been dressed differently but they all enjoyed him better coming as he did. He betook himself to his wardrobe, coming in in a few minutes dressed in his best and ready to help the young folks in their games which all enjoyed until a late hour. Mr. and Mrs. Glasgow gave them a fine treat which all seemed to enjoy after which the numerous presents were read and the names of all present written on a square of fine cambric for remembrance in the future. The presents were many. A fine fold watch from his mother, a fine cake, watch chain, Bible, ten neck-ties, handkerchifs, letter paper, cuff buttons, shaving mugs and many other useful articles as well as the best wishes of all present that he would be spared to see many happy birthdays. The rest of the evening was spent in having a social good time. Midnight came only too soon and all started for their homes feeling that they had been highly entertained. | Glasgow, John Cunningham (I798)
