Paul Mahler

The following unidentified newspaper articles (ca. early 1900's) were found in a scrapbook owned by Betty Burton of Lowell:

    Leg Broken

    While Paul Mahler was driving his horse hitched to a buggy near Creston Tuesday afternoon, one side of the shaft broke loose, and the buggy, see-sawing around, struck the horse, which began to kick while Mr. Mahler endeavored to get hold of the shaft, and he received such a hard kick on the right leg that it was badly shattered. The injured man was taken to Dr. Davis' office and the leg dressed, after which he was taken home. Over a week ago his son Carl had one of his legs broken while loading a timber on to a wagon. Father and son have the sympathy of the entire community.

    A CARD: To the dear kind friends, who so generously extended their warmest sympathy and substantial material aid in our sore trouble, we wish to take this method of extending to them our heartfelt gratitude and thankfulness for their kindly remembrance. Words fail us to tell them how thankful we are, but they may rest assured that the remembrance of their kind deeds will go with us through life, and our hopes and wishes are that they may never be called upon to pass through such an ordeal.

      MR. AND MRS. PAUL MAHLER
This unidentified newspaper article, hand-dated 1935, was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:

    MARRIED 56 YEARS AGO

    MR. AND MRS. PAUL MAHLER CELEBRATE THE EVENT IN A QUIET WAY

    Friday was the 56th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mahler and this estimable couple celebrated the event in a quiet way at their home on route 2, at the east edge of Lowell.

    During the day their children called at the home and visited with their parents, making the day a happy one for them. Mr. Mahler is 80 years old and Mrs. Mahler is 76. Both were raised in this section, Mr. Mahler being born in Germany and coming here when a child, and they are now living in the house in which Mrs. Mahler was born.

    Mr. and Mrs. Mahler have a host of friends in the vicinity in which they have resided so many years, who wish for them many more happy anniversaries.

    They have five children -- Mrs. J. C. Dexter and Mrs. Ed Glover, of Crown Point; Mrs. G.C. Rouse, of Schneider; Miss Marie Mahler, of Gary, and Carl, of Lowell.
