Two of Fred and Maude’s children were in the Eldora Herald, Nov. 21, 1918, page 9:
Little Jennie Rash from Little Cedar who is staying with her grandmother Mrs. Watson Bash, is out of school with the mumps.
Elsewhere on the same page: Asa Rash of Little Cedar spent the week end with his grandmother, Mrs. Ellen Rash, in Union, and his young sister, Jennie. Young Rash had a narrow escape one day last week near Conrad, where he was picking corn, when his team ran away, and in trying to check them one of the bits broke. He then lost control of the team. They made for a wire fence, and he jumped from the back end of the wagon, but none too soon as the high box rose in the air and crashed down into kindling wood. After they had run for some time and broken the wagon reach, they were finally stopped. The accident happened before daylight.
