Over in North Benton a number of years agoThe entertainment {sic} closed with singing from the Grange Melodies, "The Farmer Feeds Them All". Following is the list of names present: [no locations given]
I knew an aged couple as many of you know,
They managed to work together on the home and on the farm,
As to their reputation, they did the place no harm.As was the common rule in those early pioneer days,
The practice was in harmony with "Teddy" Roosevelt's ways.
They raised a large family of healthy girls and boys,
Who were very much more useful than ornaments or toys.Several are here today who recall the scenes of youth,
The old man's wit and humor, and "her" high regard for truth.
Since these dear and happy days many of course have died,
But we see by this assemblage there was no race suicide.So, as we have come together to mingle for a while,
To shake each others' hands and greet with pleasant smile:
May you enjoy yourself supremely with pride for your populace,
Who are the true descendants of William and Miriam Wallace.
