Paula Clark Feb. 14, 1945 — Dec. 17, 2013 A graveside memorial service for longtime Berthoud resident, Paula Clark, was held at 10 a.m., Monday, Dec. 23, 2013, at the Greenlawn Cemetery in Berthoud, Colo.

I n 1920 Berthoud’s economy was based on agriculture, so as that year came to a close the local newspaper was filled with news about farming. While a sharp drop in the price of farm products commanded the tabloid’s headlines that month, short articles about the predations of coyotes and the theft of calves from foothills’ cattle ranches helped cast a pall over the community. Like farm towns across the country, in 1920 Berthoud was struggling to find its financial foot- ing. On Dec. 3, 1920, The Berthoud Bulletin reported that Henry Geibelhaus, a farmer living one mile north of town, had been in- jured when his right eyelid was pierced with a fork tine as he stooped over to level a wagonload of sugar-beet tops. Henry Yeager, who was forking the beet tops from the ground into the wagon, unin- tentionally punctured Geibelhaus, who was standing on top of the load that was to be used as sheep feed. The newspaper reassured its read- ers that the injury was not serious but the farmer’s eye was “sore and much inflamed.” That week the tabloid also noted that Gust Magnuson, who lived between Berthoud and Mead, blamed the loss of eight piglets on coy- otes. The news- paper added that farmers and townsmen in “the Mead country” were making arrange- ments for a big coyote roundup. One week lat- er the Berthoud Bulletin report- ed that a fine house that stood on the C.C. Clark farm northeast of town had burned to the ground after hot ashes that had been thrown on dry leaves ig- nited an ice house near the dwell- ing. The house was insured, but its contents were not, so the tenants who lived there suffered a heavy loss. On Dec. 17, 1920, the newspa- per announced, “The violent and unexpected depression in sugar prices, together with the prospects confronting the beet sugar industry resulting from strained financial conditions in the United States, are reasons given by the Great Western Sugar com- pany today in announcing indefinite dis- continuance of construc- tion work on both of its new factories at Johnstown, Colorado, and Minatare, Nebraska.” The follow- ing week, Dec. 24, 1920, the tabloid noted, “Thieves have been busy in and around Berthoud within the last few weeks. Some time ago the L.C. DeFrance ranch was raided and about fifty turkeys were carried away. Mrs. P.D. Grommon also lost several fine ones — the loss in the two lots running above $200. A few days ago Guy W. Moore lost four- teen hides — about $50 worth; and Edwin Hertha reports several head of calves stolen from his ranch.” That month the good news was that Berthoud farmers Paul Mead and Carl Beeler won top prizes for corn they entered in a farm-prod- ucts competition in Fort Collins. Schuyler Rising, who lived at the southwest edge of town, also won the first-place prize for his White Wyandotte cockerel. On Dec. 31, 1920, the local news- paper announced that the Berthoud Community Farm Bureau had held pruning demonstrations in the or- chards of O.J. Smith and August Johnson that were attended by 33 farmers. The tabloid also noted that prairie dogs that infested 21 sec- tions of land southwest of Berthoud had been poisoned and that boys and girls clubs had been formed for young people who wanted to learn about raising pigs and poultry.

In 1920 Berthoud’s economy was based on agriculture, so as that year came to a close
the local newspaper was filled with news about farming. While a sharp drop in the price of farm products commanded the tabloid’s headlines that month, short articles about the
predations of coyotes and the theft of calves from foothills’ cattle ranches helped cast a pall over the community. Like farm towns across the country, in 1920 Berthoud was struggling to find its financial foot-ing.
On Dec. 3, 1920, The Berthoud Bulletin reported that Henry Geibelhaus, a farmer living one mile north of town, had been in-jured when his right eyelid was pierced with a fork tine as he stooped over to level a wagonload of sugar-beet tops. Henry Yeager,
who was forking the beet tops from the ground into the wagon, unin-tentionally punctured Geibelhaus, who was standing on top of the load that was to be used as sheep feed. The newspaper reassured its read-ers that the injury was not serious but the farmer’s eye was “sore and much inflamed.”
That week the tabloid also noted that Gust Magnuson, who lived between Berthoud and Mead, blamed the loss of eight piglets on coy-otes. The news-paper added that farmers and townsmen in “the Mead country” were making arrange-ments for a big coyote roundup.
One week lat-er the Berthoud Bulletin report-ed that a fine house that stood on the C.C. Clark
farm northeast of town had burned to the ground after hot ashes that had been thrown on dry leaves ig-nited an ice house near the dwell-ing. The house was insured, but its contents were not, so the tenants who lived there suffered a heavy loss.
On Dec. 17, 1920, the newspa-per announced, “The violent and unexpected depression in sugar prices, together with the prospects confronting the beet sugar industry resulting from strained financial conditions in the United States, are reasons given by the Great Western
Sugar com-pany today in announcing indefinite dis-continuance of construc-tion work on both of its new factories at Johnstown, Colorado, and Minatare, Nebraska.”
The follow-ing week, Dec. 24, 1920, the tabloid noted, “Thieves have been busy in and around Berthoud within the last few weeks. Some time ago the
