From the Sedan Graphic, March 4, 1885,
The Fall River Echo says a child was born on one of the Frisco passenger trains between Fall River and Augusta the 8th. We know where Fall River is located, but where the d---l is Augusta the 8th.
Howard tried hard to get the Frisco line from Fall River but it went through Severy, instead.
Just a short piece of the Frisco ran in and out of the northeast corner of Elk County.
Wasn't Augusta the 8th a Roman emperor or something? ;D ;D ;D ;D
No, Augusta was British, changed his name to Henry when he became an adult...thought Augusta was too feminine to attract pretty girls. And he had plenty of them!!! ;D
You both are probably thinking of Augusta Masters, he was from Georgia and had a lot of well-groomed acreage named after him? His wife took in ironing and used a nine iron almost exclusively.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
His wife, though, had a problem.
She was not allowed on the acreage.
What did she use the nine iron on?
Wilma,
This was a spoof of the Augusta Masters National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia.
The nine iron was a reference to a golf club.
The club at Augusta Masters will not allow women members.
(They will allow a woman to play, though, if she is registered as a guest of a member)
