Notes:

Died:
Willard A. Saul, 76, long-time Converse County resident, died in Denver on Wednesday, March 19, after a long illness. Mr. Saul was born on a farm near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While still a boy, the family moved to Dennison, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. He was married to Miss Emma Sara Gibson on September 9, 1896. Three children were born to this union. As a young man, he made a hunting trip into this country and was impressed with its possibilities. In 1901, along with his brothers, H. C. and J. C. Saul, he returned here. The young men secured land on the LaBonte, forming the LaBonte Stock Company. In 1915 Willard and Henry sold their interests in this ranch, moved to Glendo and bought a general store and a ranch on Horseshoe. In 1920 Willard and his brother Henry started a jewelry and hardware store in Douglas. Willard and his son, Veldon, later bought out Henry's interest in the venture. Surviving are his widow; a daughter, Mrs. Vera Trumper; two sons, Veldon of Douglas and Vernon of Marysville, Calif.; and a brother, J. C. Saul. His twin brother, Henry, preceded him in death in 1929. (Information was obtained from his obituary and cemetery records.)
