Racine Journal (Racine, Wisconsin) - Tue, Apr 4, 1911 - Page 1 April 4, 1911
SURPRISE AND PRESENTATION. Samuel 
Yates Surprised and Presented With 
a Gold-Headed Cane. Last evening 
about twenty couple of Mr. S. 
Yates' relatives and warmest 
friends gathered at an appointed 
place, and from thence to his 
home, 919 Lake avenue.

The surprise was a complete 
success, as Mr. Yates was 
preparing to retire. He met his 
friends with his usual cordiality, 
his daughter, Miss Minnie, filling 
her part as hostess with grace 
characteristic to her. Two or 
three 1 hours were spent very 
pleasantly at cards. Refreshments 
were then served, after which Mr.
Peter Etchells stepped forward, 
and in behalf of the company 
presented Mr. Yates with a 
beautiful gold-beaded cane, 
saying: Mr. YATES:-In behalf of 
those present here .to-night, I 
present you with this slight token 
of their esteem, hoping as you 
walk the busy streets of Denver, 
you will some times give a thought 
to the friends you left in Racine. 
May health. happiness and 
prosperity attend yourself and 
family is our sincere wish.

Mr. Yates, though surprised, 
thanked his friends and inyited 
them to come to Denver and see him 
on dress parade. Cards were again 
resumed and at a late hour his 
friends bade him good night with 
many regrets at loosing him ant 
his family, and wishing them 
success in their future home..
