HUMBOLDT STANDARD- from THE TABLE ROCK ARGUS, Table Rock, Nebr. January 19, 1917.
S. B. Bobst left for Spencer, Iowa, Tuesday last to accompany home Mrs. Bobst who was quite severely injured by a fall on their arrival at Spencer Christmas week, whither they had gone to visit with their son, W. E. Bobst and family. Samuel stopped at Omaha long enough to attend a meeting of the Pioneer Association which was in session in that city a couple of days this week, and was a strong bidder for distinction as one of the oldest- with respect to the number of years spent in the west- present. His father, Christian Bobst came to Nebraska April 20, 1854, and located at Cincinnati, a then thriving village fifteen or twenty miles southwest of Humboldt, but which long since has virtually passed out of existence as a trading point. Two months later, in June, when Sam was but a lad of ten years the family arrived, he is seventy-six now hence sixty-six years have elapsed since he opened his eyes to the light of day on Nebraska soil. Since in the service of Uncle Sam as a member of Co. G 2nd Nebraska, and Co. B, 16th Kansas- three years and ten months of Army life. If Mrs. Bobst is able to travel they expect to return home Monday next.
