Lincoln Daily News, Thursday, Aug 5, 1897:
Around Rokeby

While Miss Sue Van Ness and Miss Cornie Chittendon were driving home from 
Rokeby one day last week their team became frightened and ran away, scattering 
the occupants of the carriage promiscuously along the road. Both ladies sustained 
severe injuries; those of Miss Chittendon being the more serious, it having been 
necessary to call in a physician. Both of the victims are doing nicely now and it is 
thought will be around in a few days.

Pastor Doane, of the Congregational church, has returned from his vacation 
and last Sunday resumed his work in Rokeby.

A.F. Steinhausen is suffering from an inflamed eye, the result of being struck 
by a sliver of iron. A physician removed the piece, but the optic is still very painful.

J.F. Hay and J.D. Sipe broke their records by scooping for the sheller in Rokeby.
