Show WHO'S WHO? ? l v... i filli-- 1MIIIMII ..J Well, last week's Wh'o's Who was Del Searle, and his wife, Ruth Max-: Max-: field Searle, taken in 1903, the day J before their wedding in the Salt S Lake temple. The young couple moved to Delta from Wayne county in 1906, and lived at Hinckley a year before moving onto their farm i south of Delta. Del has been a subscriber sub-scriber to the Chronicle since its first issue in July, 1910, and never had his picture in the paper before. be-fore. Almost everyone figured out who the couple were, as their child ren resemble the parents so much. But this week things will be different. dif-ferent. Here is a picture that will really baffle you. It was taken may be 50 years ago in a state many miles from Delta. Since then the subject has filled up so many times that he is well filled out. You ought to taste his wife's noodles - - she takes an egg - - oh, well, we'll stick to the subject. Suffice it to say that this young man has had much practice tucking good food out of sight, and thoroughly enjoys his predicament. This picture was cut righi out of the middle of a group picture, a dozen young people from a music class. This young blonde was one of the three boys in the group, the rest were young ladies. And he still likes that ratio. And more women wo-men than you cn keep track of look him up almost every day, to ask his advice and opinion, and hang upon his weighty words with interest. He took piano lessons when this picture was made, and was quite a wizard on the scales. He still is, but few people have heard him I play the piano. He keeps that a dark secret. Just as well, maybe. Imagine' if when invited out to dine which happens now and then, he also had his music along with him, and insisted on playing and taking tak-ing encores. When he first arrived in Delta, about 1911, he was a young married mar-ried man and father. Now he is a grandfather, with more grandchildren grand-children than he has children. He planned to be a farmer, and stuck at it quite a while. But so much mud stuck to his irrigating shovel, snow came late, frost came early, wind and hail came together in August, that he lost interest. Now he lives in Delta where he buys everything for his table. He hasn't raised anything but tulips in years. And he has been beaming for months mon-ths because he doesn"t feed sheep and catttle. Got any clues? Well, who this lucky person is, if you don't guess right will head this department next week. |
