for references to the Muffley family. Undoubtedly, some references were overlooked and this is so, not only because of issues that are missing from the archives. Sometimes the articles bear little relevance to the Muffley's, however, the content will usually contain the names of people with whom Muffley's associated or community activities in which Muffley's were involved. Even so, by not capturing more of the activities across the Prairie, a good deal of the atmosphere in which the Muffley's lived from 1910 through the 1950's is not felt, as local, national, and international events, as well as a large number of the Prairie residents had an impact on and were influenced by Muffley's through these years.
The media was microfilm and the time period I held each film was limited, as the reels were available through interlibrary loan (sources were the Idaho State Historical Society in Boise, Idaho and the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho). As a result, the review was cursory and it should be expected that some references to the family were overlooked. The Courier is excellent in its coverage of community activities and would make a superb basis for research on a detailed modern history of the Camas Prairie.

Fred Muffley arrived recently from Iowa with two carloads of effects including farm machinery, furniture and an automobile. Mr. Muffley last spring purchased the Mink and Wells ranches on Soldier Creek. He was accompanied by Mr. Darrin, who bought the John Young place a year ago.
[It seems reasonable to believe this report is meant to say F.C. Muffley left for his old home in Iowa last week for a short trip.]
[This was Roland Muffley.]
[Fred Muffley had earlier purchased the Mink ranch on Soldier Creek.]
[On 20 February 1913 an article written by Edgerton in New York on 12 February 1913 was published in the Courier. In that article Edgerton describes travel on the SS Momus from New Orleans to New York City. Edgerton does not mention the Muffley's in that article. The commentary about this travel in the Midwest, South, and East does not indicate that Roland (see entry for 7 March 1912), who was less than a year of age at the time, was traveling with the Muffley's. Only on return to Fairfield was Roland indicated (see the family entry for 27 February 1913). Speculatively, Roland may have been left at the Hopley home (his maternal grandparent's home) in Lewis, Iowa, while his parents traveled New Orleans and New York.]
A census of autos on the valley reveals the following with buzz wagons: D. Dee Higgs, L.W. Johnson, William Leonard, J.E. Brinegar, J.E. Edgerton, Frank Housman, Robert Leaper, J.B. Boyce, Harry Gorby, J.K. Vaught, Mrs. W.E. Koontz, Charles Tiede, Ray Jones, John Fletcher, John Bach, Dave Hutton, Fred Muffley – and Agent Carey with an Indian motorcycle just added to his equipment. Mrs. Carey has a badly injured finger, due to an orguement [sic] with said cycle, which we must mention in passing.
[Mrs. S.H. Reeves is Adeline Loomis, the sister of Mrs. J.M. Muffley (Carrie Loomis) and the aunt of Fred Muffley. She is known in the Fairfield family as Aunt Addie.]

The sad news has been received in Fairfield that Mrs. Peter Hopley, mother, and Mrs. E.J. Askew, sister of Mrs. Fred Muffley, both died last week at Lewis, Iowa, the home of Mrs. Askew. We are informed that Mrs. Muffley did not reach home until after their death.
The following was taken from an Iowa paper and gives some of the details.
"Shocked at the news of the death of her daughter, Mrs. Peter Hopley, 64 years old, of Lewis, Ia, suddenly dropped dead this morning at the home of her son-in-law, E.J. Askew, 5322 Ingersoll avenue.
Her daughter, Mrs. E.J. Askew, 34 years old, died at the Methodist hospital Friday night.
Mrs. Hopley was visiting at the Askew home when her daughter was taken to the hospital.
When told by relatives this morning of her daughter's death, Mrs. Hopley was unable to survive the shock.
Double funeral services will be held from Dunn's funeral home Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Rev. Chales [sic] S. Medbury will deliver the funeral sermon.
The remains of the mother and daughter will be taken to Lewis, Ia., Sunday evening for burial."
Jones & Mosier has purchased the general merchandise of Mrs. McAlister and will enlarge the stock to occupy all of the lower floor of the Muffley Building.
While on a camping trip near Payette last week, F.C. Muffley was suddenly stricken with gallstone trouble and is now in a Boise hospital, having underwent a surgical operation. Latest reports are that he is doing as well as could be expected.

Dr. A.A. Higgs returned Sunday night from Rochester, Minnesota, where he spent three weeks. Mrs. Higgs and F.C. Muffley, both of whom were operated upon, are making a fine recovery and will be able to return next week.
The death of Mr. James M. Muffley, father of Fred C. Muffley, occurred at the home of the latter in Fairfield, Wednesday evening, September 17. Death was due to cardias asthma, from which he has been a sufferer for several years, aggravated by a recent attack of flu. The body was taken to Gooding for preparation for burial and, accompanied by the son, shipped to Osage, Iowa, the former home, on Thursday.
James Monroe Muffley was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1845. As a young man he moved to Iowa, where he was engaged in business and was married in 1878 to Miss Carrie Loomis. To the union was born two sons, Fred C. of Fairfield and Max of Los Angeles. His life work was in the grain business, from which he retired in 1911 and came to Idaho to live. His wife died in Fairfield eight years ago. Since then he has made his home with his son.
In addition to the two sons, two sisters of the deceased survive him, both living in Los Angeles. Max Muffley is sick in that city at the present time and following the funeral in Iowa, Fred Muffley will go there before returning to Fairfield.
The deceased was a quiet, unassuming man, a great lover of the outdoors and an omnivorous reader. He was not a member of any church or fraternal order, but his life was ordered in kindliness and forbearance and justice toward all men. Only a few knew him intimately, but these were deeply impressed with his many excellent qualities of mind and heart.

A birthday party with the county invited. Most people would consider that some stunt, but when one is eighty years young it is a mere trifle. At least is to Mrs. Charlotte Abbott.
[A long description of the party was given and also of the attendees, of which there were more than 100. The list included Mrs. F.C. Muffley.]
Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Haynie were hostesses at a dinner party with covers laid for ten on Wednesday evening of last week. The house was artistic in a color scheme of yellow and white and the table was beautifully appointed. A "Horn of Plenty" suspended over the table elicited many expressions of pleasure. After the four course dinner cards were enjoyed until a late hour. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Giesler, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Muffley, Dr. and Mrs. Higgs, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wokersien, Mr. C.C. Sill of Nampa and Mr. Walter Scott of Rupert. On the following evening Mr. and Mrs. Muffley entertained the same crowd at another delightful and unique evening. After cards a "Chafing Dish" dinner was enjoyed which showed not only the skill of the hostess but the possibilities of the chafing dish. The group of friends felt that with the departure of a portion of their number it would be months before they would be united again, so they made the most of the proposition of "eat and be merry" while they were together. The two occasions were the concluding numbers of s series of similar delightful evenings, in which the same persons participated.
[In the second day of business the following minutes item was given.]
The Security National Bank of Fairfield, Idaho filed two personal depository bonds to secure the deposits of the funds of Camas county in said bank. One was in the sum of $40,000, with F.C. Muffley and D.O. Reynolds as sureties in the amount of $20,000 each. The other was in the sum of $20,000, with Robert Leaper and W.H. Peck as sureties in the amount of $10,000 each. It was found upon an investigation of the financial worth of the sureties that they were each qualified for the amounts that they obligated themselves for upon said bonds. And the Security National Bank of Fairfield was again designated as a depository for the funds of Camas county.

A note from the Giesler-Muffley party, who are touring the southlands via auto, states they are having a most enjoyable trip, but are longing for the Idaho mountain scenery. They have visited points in Old Mexico and are arriving in new Orleans on Wednesday for the annual Mardi Gras celebration. This celebration is one of the social functions of the South, and is attended by people from all over the Southland. A whole week of fun and elaborate public balls, entertainments and banquets. The aristocracy of the South make this one of the great feature of the "Old South," instituted in the time of great cotton plantations and vast slave worked estates, when a southern planter was a baron on his domain, involving the cultivation of thousands of acres and a serfdom of hundreds of underlings and thousands of slaves.
notice
Mrs. F.C. Muffley received a telegram announcing the death of her father, Peter Hopley,
at San Diego, from heart failure. Mr. Hopley was 77 years of age and for a number of years
had been an importer and breeder of
thoroughbred horses at Lewis, Iowa. He had been a frequent visitor with his daughter here
and made a number of friends who will be sorry to learn
of his passing. There are two other daughters, Mrs. Margaret Lumsden of Storm Lake, Iowa,
and Mrs. Eda Hedges of Weldon, Iowa, and two sons,
Harry and Wayland Hopley of Atlantic, Iowa, besides Mrs. Muffley, left to mourn his loss.
Mr. and Mrs. Muffley left Wednesday for Salt Lake,
where they will join Harry Hopley and accompany the body to Lewis, Iowa, for burial.
Graduates from the Eighth Grade of the Schools of Camas County Given Diplomas, With Program of Music and Interesting Events
Fourteen girls and six boys were graduated from the Eighth grade from Camas county schools at the Liberty Theater last Friday night. The roster of the class is as follows: Letha and Lola Wylder, Estelle Jones, Marjorie Struble, Therman Smith, Roma Pond, Ann Griffith, Agnes Gifford, Louise Dixon, Grace Thornton, Ina Baldwin, Helen Painter, Myrtle Streeper, Fontella Thurber, Harvey Edwards, Roland Muffley, Elmer Ashmead, Jack Starcher, Clifford Hallowell, Lloyd Moline. While the number of graduates was small this year, it is a splendid class and one that the county may well watch as they enter high school and later college. They are a bunch of purposeful boys and girls and the county may well congratulate the class and themselves over the 1926 Eighth Grade class.

On Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. Fred Muffley entertained a jolly crowd of four tables at Five Hundred at their apartments. The large living room in which the tables of players were accommodated was the scene of fun and laughter from the start to finish. High bids, low bids, "Nully" and "No trick" were the cause of screams and almost tears during the evening's excitement, as the players vied with one another for the prizes that awaited the winners. Fruit punch and candy wafers were served while the games were in progress. Mrs. James Dement won high honors for the ladies and Mr. F. H. Fashbaugh took high honors for the men. Mrs. Fashbaugh got away with the low ladies score, while Dr. A.G. Sheets, in a very fitting speech of acceptance, took the all day suckers, which he won as consolation prize. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Bach of Tacoma, Messrs. And Mesdames Casper Bach, Harry Giesler, C.C. Haynie, Tom Wokersien, Frank Fashbaugh, J.A. Dement and Dr. and Mrs. A.G. Sheets. After prizes were awarded, refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests departed for their various homes.
At Muffleys
The Muffley apartments were the center of a jolly crowd during Friday evening of last week. Pinochle was the diversion at which three tables were in progress. Mrs. Wokersien and Mrs. Giesler tied for ladies' high score and drew for lucky number at which Mrs. Giesler was the lucky lady. Harry Giesler got high score for the men. The Dement's tied for consolation prize, but as usual Mrs. Dement won out when it came to the draw [James Dement is the Courier editor and writer for this story]. Refreshments to suit a queen's taste were served in abundance and the gusts partook to their fill. The guest list consisted of Messrs. Casper Back, James Dement, C.C. Haynie, F.M. Fashbaugh and Harry Giesler.
At Fashbaughs
Saturday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. F.M. Fashbaugh was the gathering place of a jolly crowd, who at three tables delved in auction bridge. So jolly was the players that the Fashbaughs were hosts until a late hour, and then it was with reluctance that the party broke up. Refreshments were served and prizes awarded at which Tom Wokersien was high man. Mrs. Wokersien high lady, Mrs. Haynie took consolation prize and Harry Giesler took low score for men. The guests were Messrs and Mesdames Fred Muffley, Harry Giesler, C.C. Haynie, Tom Wokersien, James Dement and Dr. and Mrs. A.G. Sheets.
At Wokersiens
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wokersien entertained at New Year's dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Muffley, Mr. and Mrs. F.M. Fashbaugh and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Giesler.
Nothing pleases a stockholder in a concern more than to receive a dividend check on his investment. This accounts for the happy expression on the faces of the stockholders in the Security National Bank here. On December 26th the directors of the institution declared a five per cent dividend on their outstanding stock. After paying the dividend there was a surplus of undivided profits amounting to $9,478.98. This is a good showing for our local bank and speaks well for the management of the institution. Dividends being declared in banking institutions is an indicator of better conditions than has been felt for several years.

A fire which resulted in the loss of between $6,000 and $7,000, according to Mr. Muffley, occurred at the F.C. Muffley ranch north of Soldier last Thursday night. The siren blew twice, waking many residents of Fairfield who went to the scene at once, to be of some aid. The blaze had gotten such a start however, that there efforts were of little or n o avail. A ditch was plowed around the outside, keeping the blaze from spreading. The farm machinery, a Willys-Knight sedan, 20 tons of hay, a large barn and some harness were totally destroyed, part of which was covered by insurance, it is reported. The origin of the fire is not known. Mr. Muffley was in Salt Lake City on a business trip at the time.

The high school football boys are shaping up and Coach Hartwell is beginning to warm them up and see what kind of material he has to pick from. Several of the old players of last year graduated out so that a new team will have to be organized. However there are several of the old squad left as Muffley, Manwill, Croner, C. Pond, and Miller, who were among the best players last year are still on the squad and they will help a lot in whipping the new recruits into shape. The early winter interfered a lot with the work of last year but it is hoped that they will have a better chance this year and the weather man will be kind enough to allow the team a better opportunity and more games can be put on the schedule.
Gooding will meet the Mushers Saturday at 2:30 on the local field. This will be the first football game of the season. The Mushers have been working out for the past couple of weeks. Coach Hartwell will have 15 men to pick from who have been working out trying to make the team. There are 8 letter men: Jim Muffley, Blair Manwill, Alton Croner, Orie Leavell, Manard Wallace, Everett Coates and Clair Pond. Those who have been working out to try and make the team are: Bill Murphy, Joe Harnden, Virgil Naser, Earl Wilson, Jim Thornton, Boyd Harrison, Harvey Ashmead, LeRoy Packham, and Roscoe Babington.

Final Score 40 to 0 in Favor of Senators; King Hill to Invade Mushers Territory Saturday
Coach Hartwell took his pigskin tossers to Gooding last Friday for their first game of the season with the Gooding High School gridsters. While the game was decidedly in favor of Gooding High, nevertheless the Mushers made a creditable showing. They showed the pep and bull dog tenacity which when whipped into shape will make a more creditable showing and a more formidable opponent in future games. The Mushers fought a stubborn battle every inch of the way but were unable to overcome the Senators powerful defensive. The Senators scored in every quarter of the game, one touchdown in the first quarter, two the second, two the third and one the last, making the score 40 to 0 for the Senators. The line-up was as follows: Muffley – end, Harrison – tackle, Ruby – guard, Abbott – center, Thornton – guard, Wilson – tackle, Leavell – end, G. Miller – quarter, R. Miller – halfback, Harnden – halfback, Gill – fullback.
