Charles H. Trego Instantly Killed
Chas. H. Trego, owner of the Palacios Ice and Light Company, was instantly killed just before 8 o’clock Sunday evening.
Mr. Trego had gone on duty about 7 o’clock. Mrs. Trego went to the plant shortly after, and not seeing him went over to chat with a neighbor. She returned in few moments and still not seeing Mr. Trego, phoned Mr. Jno. T. Price, and began a search of the building. Mr. Price came immediately and just as he entered the door Mrs. Trego discovered the body of her husband horribly mangled underneath the main shaft of the engine.
Mr. Trego apparently had been oiling the machinery, for an oil can was found near the body. He was wearing a dungaree jumper, evidently unbuttoned, which was caught by a set-screw on the shaft, winding his clothing around it and drawing him irresistibly to the revolving shaft. The shaft was running at a speed of approximately 1500 revolutions per minute, and he lived only a few seconds after being caught. Clothing was torn from the body.
The remains were shipped to Hoopeston, Ill., the old home.

On Sept. 29, 1910--The Woman's Club held one of its most interesting
meetings, being entertained by Miss Morris. The meeting was called
to order by the 1st Vice President, after which, the minutes of last
meeting were read and approved. There being no business to transact
the meeting was then turned over to Miss Morris who had arranged a
very interesting program on Texas. A short sketch on the Geography
of Texas was first read, after which Mrs. Knight gave a splendid
talk on the history of our state. Mrs. Clapp then gave one of her
enjoyable whistling solos and Mrs. House read a most interesting
article on the Poison Bugaboo dealing with venomous reptiles and
insects. Miss Barnes gave a charming rendition of September and Mrs.
Van Ness read a selection on the Missions of Texas.
The Roll was then called and each member responded with facts &
comments on Texas. After a few minutes devoted to sociability the various members dispersed, to gather again at the home of Mrs. House two weeks later.
Amendment to above minutes as follows:
Mrs. Hansel appointed as her assistants in the children's Dept.,
Mrs. Trego, Mrs. Clapp, Mrs.
Logan, Mrs. Price.

The members of the Collegeport Woman's club entertained their
husbands and friends at a reception Thursday evening in the
beautiful bayside home of Mrs. Burton D. Hurd. They night was grand.
Fair Luna lent her most entrancing rays, whose luster only gained
brightness by the occasional darkening of the few shadowy clouds
which flickered across the sky.
About seventy-five guests were in attendance. They were first
introduced to Mrs. Hurd, president of the club, and to Miss Smith
and Mrs. Clapp of the reception committee. Other members delighted
in helping to make the evening a pleasurable one socially.
Portraits of some guests, taken "as others saw us," were heartily
enjoyed by every one. Strange how the years go by and how little we
realize the difference they make to eyes other than those in the
mirror.
Dame Fashion's facile fingers or the hirsute adornment to men's
faces cause even husbands and wives to search for the likeness so
well conned.
Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served in the dining room
and a draught from the punch bowl brought a smile to every face.
Those who enjoy a view of the bay by moonlight took a trip to the
roof garden and thence all went home happy in the pleasure of an
evening so enjoyable.
Guests from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Cooper of Aurora, ill.,
Miss Clarke of Chicago and Miss Soekland of Stuttgart, Ark. Instead of May 25, which date happens to be the birthday anniversary of Collegeport, the next club meeting will be held on June 1 at the home of Mrs. S. W. House. Mrs. Trego will speak of California, Mrs. Clapp of the Holy Land and Mrs. Hurd of the home of New England poets, all being personal travel talks.

Mrs. Culp then sang another solo, O Dry Those Tears, which was thoroughly enjoyable.
Mrs. Hurd read a few chapters from 54-40 or Fight illustrating the
immigration and pioneer experiences in the Great Northwest. The
Business Meeting was then called to order and the minutes of the
last meeting were read & approved. The Bill for expense for cream &
ices at the Reception for 13.20 was allowed & paid. The Resignation
of Mrs. Cobb from the Hygiene Com. was accepted. Mrs. Kahnt was
elected to assist Mrs. Clapp in the Jenny Wren work. Club adjourned
to meet June 8, 1911.

As the guests arrived to congratulate this popular young couple and
to wish them every happiness, they were greeted by the hostess, Mrs.
Price, and Misses Kilbride and Williams. Not until they had
registered with a definition of love, and had written a recipe for
happiness and an acrostic telegram, using the word honeymoon, did
they know that a pleasant surprise was in store. Not always are we
aware of the fact that while we are in the presence of the known we
are also in the presence of the unknown. Knowing that Mr. Cates and
Miss Kilbride are to be married on August 26th, here was indeed
surprise written on every face when Mrs. Price
let-the-cat-out-of-the-bag. As the ribbon was untied the cat sprang
out; about its neck was fastened a heart on which was engraved this
message: “This is to announce the approaching marriage of Miss Lula
Williams to Mr. Claud Allen Newton on September twenty-second.”
Miss Williams is one of Palacios’ most charming and accomplished
young daughters. She has a host of admirers, both in and out of the
city which speaks for her popularity.
Mr. Newton, while at present a resident of San Antonio, was formerly
a resident of Palacios and enjoys a wide circle of friends who
congratulate him on gaining this fair prize.
After the surprise had abated, a delicious two-course luncheon of
salad and ice was served. Interspersed were toasts to “The Bride,”
by Mrs. Jas. H. Pridgen, Jr., to “The Groom,” by
Mrs. Chas. H. Trego and to
“Those Left Behind,” by Mrs. Mary H. Elder.
The color scheme of green and white was observed throughout, from
the beautiful palms and ferns to the table decorations and the
little green and white arrow piercing two heart-cakes served with
the green ice.
The hostess, Mrs. Jno. T. Price, who planned and so successfully
carried out the surprise-announcement, was charmingly gowned in
white.
Miss Kilbride, the soonest-to-be-wed, wore a trousseau gown of gray
taffeta and looked the trophy Mr. Cates declares to have won. Miss Williams, who made possible the surprise, was daintily gowned in a creation of white with touches of green.
The out-of-town guests were Miss Helen Kilbride of Bay City, Texas,
Mrs. A. B. Pierce and Mrs. A. O. Yeager of Blessing, Miss Jo Sargent
of Matagorda, Texas, and Mr. Craig C. Cates of Tiptonville, Tenn. |
