THE DIAMOND JUBLIEE
THE SEVENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY OF FARNAM

On August 10, 1961, the seventy-fifth birthday of Farnam was celebrated. In the morning there was a parade down main street. It was comprised of individuals and organizations. At noon there was a community picnic in the park. In the evening there was a pageant that showed various phases of Farnam’s history and its community. There was a style show, the murder that took place in Farnam, the bank robbery, and some forms of entertainment that were common when Farnam was younger.

Previous to this, in fact from about the first of June, shavers permits were sold to those men who preferred shaving their beard instead of letting it grow, wooden nickels were in existence, and the ladies were to wear long, old fashioned dresses when they came to town.

There was a Kangaroo Court held every Saturday evening for several weeks. Everything must have been on the up and up, because it was said that no mercy was given to lady violators either. They were thrown into the brink, also. A horse tank was in readiness for violators and before the court session was over many violators were dunked, besides several that were just in for the swim of it. The Keystone Cops were kept busy trying to keep law and order and there were three lady cops also, Morna Crampton, Millie Adkisson, and Ruby Schultz. One interesting episode happened. There were three desperadoes, Roger Aden, Clifford Hess and Tom Vickers, who held up the Keystone Cops and made off with the Cop’s pistols. With assistance the desperadoes were apprehended, one thrown in the tank and one jailed. Before the excitement of the incident died down, the three broke away from the law officials and left on their trusty steeds. No more was seen or heard from them.

Everyone enjoyed the Diamond Jubilee and were saying, "In twenty-five years it will be our centennial."
