Mrs. G. H. Youngs received word
from GAINESVILLE, Iowa, last week OF Inc
serious illness of her husband, who had
been working at his trade Of millwright
at that place. She had been telegraphed
TO, previously, but no dispatch resched
her. Mrs. Youngs started Immediately
upon the receipt OF the letter, arriving the
day after his death. She brought the re-
mains to her lonely house in this city
Saturday, and Sunday they were deposit
ed in lakewood cemetery. Mr.. Youngs
was a man OF good habits, industrious
and honorable, We believe. He leaves no
children to mourn fathers death. Mrs
Youpgs left Austin, Saturday, 10 spend
few weeks with her sister, Mrs. Dwight
Rowley, who resides IN Pleasant Valley
The following letter from Rev. H. I
Parker, will be interesting to many Austin
readers:
SANTA ANA, CAL, Nov. %, 1881.
My DEAR Bro On the evening o.
November 18th my home was unceremo
1 nlous!y invaded b. a small army ct oul
good people, who came upon us unher
aided and wholly unanticipated. Or
careful inspection found that 70 less
:han five ministers had acted as leaders
in making this rude assault upon US, and
that ia the rank and file all The den"min
ations were represented. Being entire
masters of the situation, they had read
ings, recitations and music. When tina
was over, together with no small amount
of sociaDility, WAS called out to fact
the crowd, aud Rev. G. w. Tarr, Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, addressed
to me a short speech. That flushed, hi:
excellent wife came forward and handed
me purse of silver com. Immediately
Mrs. DR.. Burgess, President of The Ladies
Aid Society, presented to me an order or
the treasurer of that society. Then Bro
VIM Fisher, our Sunday school supcrin
tendent, came forward and presented a
purse of gold coin. What could say Of
do but meekly submit. At ahort ter
O'clock the company Of invaders retired
10 their homes in gOod order. saying they
had enjoyed themselves. The only mis-
chief done was 10 leave me just $l4(
richer than when they came. l shall
commence no action against :h"m. Dur
Ing the evening it leaked out that 'hei'
reason for the invasion on that Saturday
evening was that, in some way, they hne
ascer!ained that Nov. 18th Was the an Il
versary of my birthday. In the almost
forgotten war Of 1912 l belonged to thu
Infantry in Arms, among the "Greel
Mountain boys"
am glad to report that our church and
people here believe the time has come t.
extinguish our church debt, and are tax
ing measures 20 accomplish it.
Yours Fra,ernally, H. ]. PARKER.
