DIED-At his late residence in Warren,
Feb. 10, 1878, DIR. JAMES H. BRIsCoE, in
the 5Oth yer OF his age.
DIR. Briscoe was born in Fairfield, Co
lumbians county. April %, 1925. At the
age of eleven, his father removed.to At
tica, in Seneca county, where was spent
the next twenty years, then at Newton
Falls, s%ojourning there about thirteen
years. and in Warren the remaining six
years of his life.
In his early years he struggled against
poverty, having to provide almost en-
tirely for two families by the labor Of his
" hands. His school advantages be-
ing meager, he accomplished his high
attainments in medicine and other de-
psrtments Of culture by close application
after the tolls of the dsy were over. In
his twenty-irst year he was married to
Emeline Childs, who survives him.
About the same time he made a public
profession of religion, ard was always
active in all affairs pertaining to the well
fare of the Church. At the age o~ftwenty-
four, he began the practice OF medicine,
10 which profession he devoted himself
the remainder Of his life. As one de-
voted to the public good. none could
have been more earnest than he; enter
ing the field wherever be thought the
cause of truth was sssailed, he met every
subtle issue with mastery power and
envisOle success. IS a husband he was
kind as a friend, faithful as a student,
profound, and as a Christian he died in
tie .ull hope off blissful immortality.

about three months old. She leaves two
children, aged respectively four and Two
years.

gram was received, announcing the sud-
den death of Mrs. Adams mother (grand-

this city and uncovered the valise; took
him to millinery store, where the So

The Rock Island daily Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1872-1873, 1873-07-01

The stores generally in Rock Island are
wholly inadequate to the wants of the pub
lie, being old fashioned cheap affairs. with
no attempt at architectural beauty or style,
and having none of the more modern im-
provements and convenieEces necessary
for doing business. We want some stores
built in style, and equal to some of the
nicer stores in larger places-stores not
only of fine appearance, but roomy, high
ceilings, large, wide stores, wide halls and
stair cases, with hoistways for the lofts,
dummies for the Observation-Disclosures having
light, air, water closets etc, etc Talking
with Mr.. Dennis Warren the other day, he
intimated that he intended to look about,
this summer and fall, for matsriFis for
such buildings, and, next summer, put up
few such stores on his lots. We hope
he will do this. His lots are the highest
and finest in the whole city. and he nigh;
erect there some stores which would add
very much TO the appearance and prosper
ity of Rock Island. Quite a num-
Der of people are talking of establish,
ing here wholesale trade, and there never
was More favorable time than now In.
der the new railroad law, special rates car
be made to large and regular shippers, st
that a wholesale business could be done
here with profit We hope Mr. Warren
will carry out his plans.
