Obltuary-Mrs. jackson.

In Potosi Wis, November 8, 1880. Mrs. M.rtb.
A. Jackson, wife of c. NJ. Jackson.
Death has again visited our community
and taken from the scenes and associations
OF this life, one of its most esteemed and use-
fnl MEMBERSHIPS. Martha A. Jackson.
Martha A. was born in Pike, one of the
Mississippi counties of northern Missouri.
October 3, 1881. She was the eldest of a
family of four sons and five daughters of F..
Ii. and Mary Ann Bonham. In the year 1910
the family came to W isconsin and settled in
a locality called Hurricane, in the town of
Lancaster, Grant county, eight years before
this became one Of the states Of the Ameri-
can Union. The family has since become
widely separated, the father at seventy-four
and the mother at si1ty-eight years of age,
still living in the town OF Ian caster. one SIS
ter in the town of potosi, one in the state OF
Iowa, and one sister and three brothers in
far away Greg IN One brother and one sister
have gone before her to the eternal home.
She was married to Mr. Jackson in 1916 and
they settled on a farm he still owns five
miles north Of this place. She was the moth
err of eleven children, two sons and nine
daughters, two Of whom, son and daughter
she has followed to the grave. Three daugh.
tiers are married ard are residents of the
town; and the other children are members
OF the home circle. In 1869 her religion.
feelings became quickensd and she made 9
public profession of faith 10 Jesus Christ, and
joined the Free Baptist church in that neigh
borhood. Upon coming to reside in the vii.
lage of Potosi, she at once identified herself
with the Cause here by becoming an impor.
tant helper among the Christian people; and
desiring, after time, a truer and mere con.
sistent ayowal of her discipleship, she pre-.
sented herself to the Congregational church
and was received into its fellowship Februar,
II, 1880. During the past year she contin'
ued . fail in health, and the best medica
skill was set at naught by the ravages Of al
apparently incurable disease. Not man,
days since she became worse and sank rapid
ly, expiring last Saturday afternson, Novem'
Der 6, 1880.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1880-08-14

A Boston correspondent tells some capitai
stories about the venerable Henry W. Paine,
one OF the eminent lawyers Of that city, who
is as remarkable for the kindness of his spirit
and for his courteous manner as for his vigor,
ability and legal attainments. Here is one OF
them: Some years ago he tried case for q
lady client, but did not receive a decision in
his favor, although justice and equity would
have warranted it. As he and his client were
leaving the courtroom, the lady, who is well.
known as an exponent OF womens rights, said
to him:
That was rank injustice"
Certainly, madam" Mr.. Paine replied.
"Mr. Paine" the lady continued, when we
women get chance to sit on that bench, such
injustice will not be possible"
With one of his rich, rare smiles the great
lawyer said;
MADAM, never expect to see greater set OF
old women than are at present on the Massa.
chusetts Supreme Court bench"
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1880-08-14

There was the usual influx of visitors yester
day to stay over Sunday and the Saturday
might balls were large and gay at the principal
hotels, Some of the waltzing was of the new
kind in which the dancers slide three times
one way as fast and as far as their legs will LEI
them, and them three times the opposite way
A couple divided against itself cannot stand
that sort of capering. The partners must slide
away and whirl exactly IN unison, or trouble
comes. Take one OF last nights instances for
an illustration: The young gentleman was
brawny and demonstrstive. He was up in the
new waltz and eager for it. The young lady
was tall, stately and scdate. She could not
waltz in the new way, and deemed it an i'm
properly agile and athlethic diversion. The
old style was plenty lively enough for her
But there was no such understanding between
the two when they stood up together to dance
The new waltz begins without preinOnitiOn,
scocting off suddenly sideways like Il remend.
ously accelerated crab Such was the initial
movement of this young gentleman. Encir.
cling the young lad firmly with his muscular
right arm, and gripping her hand with bis leff,
he measured off abont half the width Of the
parlor with three vigorous filings OF his long
stalwart legs. 1t was complete surprise to
his partner She was carried off herfe at
first Then her slippers beat quick tattoo on
the floor, in her struggle to regain equilibrium
and she Rugged her partner desperately. The
sweet smile on her face gave place to an ex.
preston of annoyance and that to terror. As
for the young gentleman, he thought it was
thus far all right. Away he went, threejumps
in the contrary direction. She accompanied
him, and in dreadful manner. Her nose Dor.
ed itself into his shoulder, and then violently
wiped itself obliquely across his shirttront;
her n air rauUht IN q hutton Of his coat and
