and died Saturday, July 2lst, 1877, be-
ing about 81 years Ofage. Her parents,
Henry and Anna Null, both died when
she was not more than 8 years old. She
was married in 1915 to John Grifis, a.
native of Wales. There were given to
them twelve children, equally divided
as to seX-three sons and three daugh-
tiers survive. Their father died in Aug
ust, 1861. The deceased joined the Uni
ted Brethren Church in 1S40-her life
was upright and pure-she loved the
Bible. Her last illness affected the
spine and brain, and deprived her OF
the proper use other faculties-her suf-
ferings were sharp, but patiently borne.
On Friday, July Goth, the writer read
the 23d psalm and prayed with her.
During these religious services her
mind seemed clear and she expressed
faith in God. Her funeral services were
held in the Presbyterian Church, Ea-
ton, Monday, July 23d, at 2 r. IN, con-

Died at his late residence in Eaton,
Preble county, O., Elder HENRYHAFH-
AWAY, after a protracted illness which
he bore with patience and with meek
submission to the will of God. In early
life he embraced the Gospel and united
with the Church of Christ, then meet
ing on Sycamore street, Cincinnati. He
studied law, but never practiced it to
any great extent. For the last thirty
years and more he devoted his time to
the preaching of the word among the
poor. He was a "a of sterling integ-
rity of character, of strong will, and of
very decided convictions. He has left
behind him many proofs ofhis faithful
ness to duty in his earnest attention to
the of Christ. He was amiable
and affectionate, and very considerate
to the wants of others. He was the
friend of the widow and of the orphan
who will miss him in their times of
need. His life was a beautiful illustra-
ton of the truth and divinity of the re-
ligion he professed. He died in the
full assurance Of faith, and in his sew
e%nty-fourth year, leaving an affection
ate conn anton and many children and
grandchildren to mourn their loss.
Elder James Challen, by his request,
preached a funeral discourse in the
Presbyterian Church, in Eaton, and was
assisted by the Rev. A. J. Reynolds,
Pastor of the church. His remains
were to be buried near his first wife,
in the Wesleyan Cemetery in Cummins.

few WORDS OF WISDOM

FOR ALL who are seeking new homes in the
West. If you are going to change your location,
by all means you should keep on about the SAME
LATITUDE as where you formerly lived, for in
this way you will escape the severe climatic
changes in the weather incident to the extreme
North or South, having none of these thinge to
contend with, yourself and family are healthy and
you become a producer at once, consequently soon
independent; on the other hand should you listen
to the many glowing accounts Of the sunny South,
or the MILL climate OF the North, and thus be in
duced to try your fortunes there, You will find the
reality is not all your fancy painted 1t. If you go,
South 1t usually takes about two years to get ac-
climated to the climate, during which time, not
being able to work, yourself and family a e con-
sumers, besides being constantly exposed to the
malarial fevers which abound there, and the ex-
perience of many is that they return discouraged,
leaving not q few loved ones beneath the sod i'm
the sunny South. Therefore, In going West keep
on about the same latitude which will insure
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. There are mos,
excellent lands in Northern Missouri on the line
of the Hannibal & st. 10. r. r., and in Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado, JUS AS HEA AND
GOOD AS THE SUN EvER SHONE UPoN,.
why not accept a certainty rather than run the
risk oflosing all? Through day and sleeping cars
are run from Toledo, Ohio, via the Wabash R,y

and from Chicago via Chicago, Burlington and

Drowned,

A tramp whose name has not been
ascertained, was drowned in Sevenmile
creek, near the r. R. bridge. about one
half mile northwest of Eaton, on Fri
day evening last. lie had gone in bath
ing in company with two other tramps,
and after remaining in the water some
fifteen minutes, according to the state
ments of those who were with him, they
came on the bank and dressed them
selves, and upon looking around found
that the third mar had disappeared.
After waiting some time and ascertain
ing no trace of their missing friend,
they concluded that he must have
drowned, and one of them came into
town and reported the fact to the Cor
oner, who, together with a number of
citizens, repaired to the place where
the accident occurred. The body was
soon fished out of the water by young
Jackson and Loots and brought into
town. The two tramps who were in
company with the deceased, were COM
mitted to await the Coroner's inquest,
which was held Saturday morning.
The jury returned a verdict that the
deceased, whose lame and place of res
idence was unknown, came to his death
by accidental drowning while bathing
in Sevenmile creek, about one-half mile
northwest of Eaton, on Friday, July
9th, 1877. Description of person: Age
about 25 or 26 years; height, 8 feet 6
inches, sandy complexion, blue eyes,

suit of black coat and vest, dark mixed
cashmere pants, box-toed sewed shoes,
all well wOrn-supposed to be an A

liens on Friday afternoon, before 60
ing to the creek, that he was a printer
and had worked in Cincinnati, to 9TH
ers he stated that he had been a dry
goods salesman. No money or valua-
bles of any kind was found upon his
