Osler and Will (Willis) went to Kansas one summer with a wagon and team to buy some lumber and walked a good part of the way. Coming home, they thought they would have one good meal, so got a chicken and bought some rice. After all was cooked, they sat down to eat it and saw some worms in it.
They were sleeping under the wagon when they were awakened by a number of men, with two other men and a boy. These men claimed they caught the two men stealing horses, and the boy wasn't doing anything. However, they hung all three of them.
FROM "MEMOIRS OF HOMER DAVIS, M.D."
Uncle Osler Overturf was a good sized boy when he went with the family to Iowa. He grew to manhood and married Emma Bleufus. He and Aunt Emma purchased a farm north of Dumont which is west of Bristow, and lived there until they retired from the farm. A son, Louie Overturf, purchased this farm from the other members of the family and still own and operates it. [This was written before 1972]
Uncle Osler died in Dumont at the age of 91, Aunt Emma died about a year later.
NOTE: In a 'partial' news clipping from a Dec. 1933 newspaper clipping it gives a bit of information about a 51st wedding anniversary celebration:
... Schuler, all of this place. Six persons who were at the wedding fifty-one years ago still survive. They are: Mrs. William Hutchison, Alpha and Sam Overturf, Mrs. Emma Spain of Parkersburg, Mrs. Lucy Austin and Carrie Woodworth of this place.
They resided on the farm forty years, then came to town where they have since made their home. Last week Mr. Overturf observed his 77th birthday anniversary.
(The 'Schuler' is probably Osler and Emma's daughter, Maude.
Alpha and Samuel are his nephews, sons of Alonzo.
Mrs. Lucy Austin and Carrie Woodworth are daughters of Osler's Uncle William Potter Woodworth. They would be his 1st cousins.)
The Iowa Recorder reports Osler was elected to serve as City Assessor 4 Nov 1902 in Pittsford, Butler Co., Iowa, and again in Nov. of 1904
