News items from 1951
June 21, 1951 - Julius
A. Reuser is pictured with
his inseparable compan-
ion, (a long-stemmed
pipe) that he has smoked
for nearly half a century.
He tells friends that he
started smoking the pipe
48 years ago and that it
still good for many more.
A widely-known
Nordheimer, Mr. Reuser,
is a member of a pioneer
DeWitt County family,
having been born on April
12, 1878. His wife, nee
Mary Burow, is a daughter
of the August Burow,
another pioneer of this
county. The couple moved
to Nordheim from a farm
near Cabeza shortly after
the turn of the century, and
on Dec. 15, 1949, had the
great pleasure of celebrat-
ing their Golden Wedding
Anniversary. Their only
daughter, Mrs. Otto
(Frances) Schneider also
resides in Nordheim.
Shortly after moving to
Yorktown, Mr. Reuser was
employed at the former
Osterloh and Neutzler
mercantile store. For
years prior to WWII he
operated a domino parlor
and bar which he sold to
two young veterans after
the war.

September 20, 1951 -
Area’s cotton estimate up
11.000 bales. DeWitt
County had planted
30.000 acres and was real-
ly hard hit by the lack of
moisture in the soil. All
hands there agreed in July
that 7000 bales was all that
could be hoped for.
Yesterday, however, C.C.
Jennings, PMA Secretary,
said that ginning will
reach 8,000 and could
even exceed 8,500.
October 25, 2951 -
Nordheim Gins Record
4128 bales. Wied & Son
and Nordheim Farmers
Cooperative Warehouse
and Gin Company report
the most successful season
so far for the Nordheim
gins.
Nov. 28, 1951 - 1951
Ginnings in DeWitt
County Represent
$2,000,000 Income. A
total of 9,625 bales of cot-
ton were ginned in 1951,
versus 6,664 for 1950.
Due to the severe drought
the per-acre production
was less, therefore more
acres were planted.
Nordheim ginned 4,133
bales this year, opposed to
2,129 in 1950. Yorktown
processed 2,544 in 1951
and 1,930 in 1950. Taken
together, Nordheim and
Yorktown ginned two-
third’s of the DeWitt
County total of cotton
bales. The average price
paid for lint and cotton
seed oil was the basis for
the $2,000,000 figure.
