KAYSVILLE KINKS - #102 IN SERIES - JUNE 1899
  • At present Kaysville seems to be a favorite rendezvous place for "traveling tourists" of the railroad kind and it is much regretted that their "tie passes" allow stopping over privileges here. Just now it is the professional tramp that is annoying the people considerably. To awaken sympathy they essay various roles while on their begging expeditions. Among the characters portrayed is the lame man, the sick man and the mute. Their performances are often successful.
  • Gardeners report a light frost again last night, but no damage was done.
  • LOST: Friday night, sorrel mare, between 7 and 10 years, weight about 1,100, ridged back. Notify W. L. Galbraith, Reward given.
  • A series of balls will be given at Webster's Grove west of Kaysville this summer.
  • City Marshal Blood of Kaysville brought 4 tramps to the county jail today, charging them with robbing a chicken coop. They were arraigned this forenoon and bound over to the district court bond of $250 each. They gave their names as Frank Wilson, James McCarty and Harry Milrod. The top knot of a speckled chicken and the numerous chicken feet was evidence at their feasting places along the railway tracks.
  • Miss Bertha Cotterell and Mr. Orton A. Williams, city recorder of Kaysville, will be married in the Salt Lake Temple.(June 14) A reception in their honor will be given at Williams Hall tomorrow evening.

    Kaysville Kinks were originally published on the the Facebook group page, Our Kaysville Story.  Click on the link to join the group page.

     Kristine is an amazing lady who loves the town she grew up in, her family, and the color purple.
