Another Regular Ovation

The Degree Of Honor In Holiday Attire

A Bride And Groom Made The Recipient Of A Beautiful Rug And A Regular Feast

The distinguishing feature of the Degree of Honor meeting last Monday evening was the feast of reason and cake, sandwiches and doughnuts, and the flow of soul and coffee. Yes, the event was extraordinary in another respect: The hall was graced by the presence of a real, live bride and groom - Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Shively nee Miss Agnes Flynn. A recess was called by Chief of Honor Mrs. Dodley Halford in order that the newly wedded couple might be given an opportunity to receive the congratulations of the lodge — Bro. Shively being the Master Workman in the A. O. U. W.  The bride looked lovely in pearly white, is an admirable woman, and Mr. Shively can congratulate himself on making such and excellent choice.

After the young married folks had been called in, and just prior to the feast, Mrs. Belle Sloss stepped up, and after making a very pleasing address to them, produced a beautiful rug, which the groom accepted with hearty thanks.

Those present were: J. C. Sloss and wife, F. C. Berendes and wife, John Berkin and wife, Rowland Rightenour and wife, Dan Merrill and wife, Dr. Leighton and wife, John Guthrie and wife, Richard Hammer and wife, Rev. Blythe and wife, S. A. Robertson and wife, H. L. Shively and wife, Mesdames Hay, Halford, Douglas, Gillam, Berteau, Filcher, Foster and Cook. Visitors — Miss Bessie Barlett and C. B. Robertson.

The party was a pleasant one, and all joined in wishing the bridal party a pleasant journey through life.

The following was copied from The News-Messenger, Fremont, Ohio, Wednesday, March 14, 1934, Page 1:

Elmer E. Jackson, 76, widely known pioneer resident of Fremont and Sandusky county was perhaps fatally burned, when flames destroyed his apartment at 417 South Front street about 2:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was taken to Memorial hospital in a police car where his condition is regarded as critical.

Mrs. Elta Eckenberger, Toledo; Mrs. L. Wireman, Detroit, Willard and Wayne Jackson, children of the injured man are at his beds, having been notified of the accident by police. Lloyd Jackson, of Minneapolis, another son, has also been informed of the tragic happening.

Reports Vary

Reports regarding the fire vary and police Wednesday morning launched at investigation to determine the cause. It is said another man had been in the Jackson apartment shortly before the fire was discovered. An early report said the fire was due to an over-heated hot plate but it was later determined that this equipment had not been burning during the night. Police say they have a clue as to the identity of the other man and he is to be questioned. James Burns, deputy state fire marshal of Norwalk, will also be called into the case.

Jackson, who is said to have been residing in Clyde recently, came to Fremont Wednesday and applied for a room at a boarding and rooming house owned and operated by Mrs. Rose Spattig, of 415 South Front street.

Took Room

Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, unable to obtain quarters in her rooming house, agreed to rent a room in an annex in the rear of the rooming house. The apartment selected was formerly occupied by Jackson and is the center room in a wood structure. The front end is a garage and the room on the opposite side was occupied by Orville Riffle and his 12 year old son. Mrs. Spattig said that Jackson, after renting the room, went down town and returned to his quarters about 10 o’clock Tuesday night.

The first alarm of the fire was given by Orville Riffle who, with his son, escaped from the rapid advance of the flames that completely destroyed the annex. Riffle hammered at the door of the rooming house and aroused the occupants.

Mass Of Flames

When firemen arrived the annex was a seething mass of flames and the rear end of the boarding house was also burning. The flames from the burning structure case a great reflection and attracted a large crowd.

Firemen and police are of the opinion that Jackson, attired in underwear, had been sleeping until the fire contacted his bed and converted his room into an inferno. The man walked through the fire and made his exit through the only door opening into his apartment.

His clothing was burned from his body and he was conscious despite his terrible burns. He was taken to the hospital by Captain Pat McGuire and Patrolman Charles Johnson.

Damage $350

The contents of the annex, together with an auto owned by Mrs. Spattig was destroyed. The back end of the rooming house was also damaged. The loss, estimated at $350, is covered by insurance.

The fire was located in a thickly built district, but the snow fall on roofs prevented burning embers from contacting other structures.

Jackson is a native of Sandusky county and has practically spent his entire life in this locality. He was a cement contractor by trade. His wife preceded him in death 12 years ago.
