Sherrie and Dollie (Cruickshank) Moore Family Stories

Betty Jean's Family Tree


 
I found the following two items among papers that there at Dad's [E. M. Cruickshank] in Medicine Bow in June 1994. They are about the serious illness of Williamina [Dollie] (Cruickshank), daughter of James A. and Isabella (Polson) Cruickshank. She was living in Blair, NE. at the time the articles were written. There are no newspaper names or dates on either article.

MRS. ISABELLE TILDEN HOSTESS TO RELATIVES
 

Mrs. [Mary] Isabelle Moore Tilden, who was called from Honolulu to be with her mother, Mrs. Sherry Moore, who is seriously ill, was hostess at Sunday dinner at the Eat Shop to her four aunts, who were called here for the same reason, and to her father, Sherry Moore, Mrs. Joe Lazure, and Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Allen.

In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Allen took the company for a trip through the DeSota woods and the old home, the Cruickshank farm. The sisters enjoyed the outing and stopped in the hills long enough to gather a bouquet of wild flowers, reminiscent of their girlhood days.

At five o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Blanchard entertained the sisters at tea. Later in the evening, three nephews and their wives called at the Moore home. They were Messrs. and Mesdames Frank, William, and John Mumaugh, of Omaha.

The visiting sisters are Mrs. Bessie Marshall of Casper, Wyoming; Mrs. Jean Burnett of Medicine Bow, Wyoming, Mrs. Etta Nickerson, of Red Bluff, California, and Mrs. Belle Summers of near O'Neill, Nebraska.
