William C. McCormick...

Winfield Courier, May 13, 1880.

We hear the name of W. C. McCormick mentioned for the office of Probate Judge. He is a sound Republican and in every way well qualified for the office.

[REPORT FROM “M. C. SELTER.” - POLO ITEMS.]

Winfield Courier, June 3, 1880.

I understand that W. McCormick is in the field for nomina­tion for Judge. MAC is a worthy gentleman and would grace the bench.

[NORTH RICHLAND TOWNSHIP CORRESPONDENT: “L. J. N.”]

Winfield Courier, June 10, 1880.

On Decoration Day our soldiers were not forgotten in North Richland. After the Sunday-schools were over, the citizens gathered to the number of one hundred and fifty or seventy-five at the graveyard near Polo, and under the arrangement of H. H. Hooker and T. R. Shannon and other ex-soldiers, a procession was formed and marched until they formed a circle with the singers in the center. Then an appropriate song was sung, followed by prayer by Mr. David Roberts, another song, and then a short address by William C. McCormick to the soldiers and citizens on the objects of this day being set apart and called Decoration Day. Then the procession, headed by the ex-soldiers, marched past all the soldiers’ graves; and the graves of the soldiers’ widows that have died since the war, were not neglected. All were strewn with flowers, and wreaths of evergreens and flowers covered the tombstones of all. These Decoration days are good. They bright­en our memories of the great sacrifice the soldiers made to save our country from mad rebellion.

[REPORT FROM “M. C. SELTER” - POLO ITEMS.]

Winfield Courier, June 24, 1880.

There was a meeting at Summit schoolhouse on the night of the 12th instant, for the purpose of organizing a company of militia. Mr. W. C. McCormick being called to the chair, called the meeting to order and delivered a short address on the duties of citizens. Among those he named was the one most prominent, that of the protection the government owed itself. As in the past so in the future, we must depend upon the citizen soldier. He exhorted all to join, and his call was responded to by the acquisition of several names, and several dollars toward a fund to purchase musical instruments.

[REPORT FROM “M. C. SELTER” - POLO ITEMS.]

Winfield Courier, July 15, 1880.

The fourth has passed pleasantly by, passed down to be recorded by time in the memory of those who participated in the festivities of the occasion. The day was observed here on the third. The people living near here met in John Grooms’ grove, and were the recipients of a treat that was unlooked for. It consisted of the reading of the Declaration by ‘Squire Larkin. Speeches by C. W. Doty, J. W. Weimer, H. J. Sanfort, John Watts, and W. C. McCormick, and a display by the Home Guards under the supervision of Sergeant John Flint. The speakers acquitted themselves with recognized ability.

[OLD SOLDIERS: ROLL OF HONOR.]

Winfield Courier, November 22, 1883.

ROLL OF HONOR. We publish below the roll of old soldiers in this county drawing pensions from the government for injuries sustained on account of service, with monthly rate of allowance. It shows that there are one hundred and forty-six soldiers in the county drawing pensions, and that the government pays to them monthly the aggregate sum of $1,509.66-3/4. This is a record that no county but ours can show. It is certainly one that “Cares for him who has born the brunt of battle and for his widows and orphans.”

He has devoted much time and attention to the study of the law, and though a farmer, is well qualified to practice. He is a man of sound judgment and would make a competent and popular officer.

Mr. Alonzo B. Roberts, one of Winfield’s substantial young men, was granted a license Thursday to lead to the altar Miss Nellie McCormick.
