April goth, 1882.
ED. DEM:-In this wonderful age OF
startling events We know not at what
turn we are to be brought face to face
with some combination, formed by indi-
viduals whose motives may not be fully
appreciated or understood until the
shroud of mystery enveloping their ac-
tons is drawn aside, and the unsuspect-
ing person who has been so cleverly en-
shared, looks with surprise upon the
strange event. Such was the case on
last Monday evening, when a number OF
people, accompanied by the Eaton Band,
made their way to the residence of David
Mann, of Casper township, this county,
and, without any further ceremony, the
Band struck up a lively piece of music
and the assembled multitude marched
into the house, and there found the lord
of the castle taking his ease in front of a
cheerful fire preparatory to retiring. The
surprise was complete, and, after a gen
eral HI nd-shaking, Mr.. M. found that his
own wife and daughter were connected
with the plot, and that it was his forty
sixth birthday anniversary.
While the Band boys were filling the
might air with melodious music, many

Martha Yan

. Mother VanAusdal, relict OF the late
Cornelius VanAusdal, departed this life
in Eaton, of Erysipelas, on the morning Of
the 18th of April, after a very few days
illness, at the ripe old age of SS years, 5
months and 10 days. Her funeral servi-
ces were preached at her old home by
Rev. C. w. Garoutte, assisted by Rev.
W. II. Orr, of the Christian Church.
Martha Bible was born in Kentucky,
and with three sisters and one brother,
came to Eaton in 1872, was married
the same year to Cornelius VanAusdal,
with whom she lived in the relation of
wife about 81 years and borne ten chill
dren, five of whom survive her DEATH
Her three other sisters in turn married
Lewis Larsh, John Mitchell and
Lee, old and well known citizens of this
county, all of whom, however, long ago
preceded her to The Beyond. Mother
Van Ausdal lived SO long in our commu
nifty and was SO Familiarity known to its
citizens, that an extended notice of her
excellent and good qualities is unneces-
sary. She was a devoted and faithful
member of the Christian Church for
about seventy years and a constant at
tendant of its meetings until her age pre-
vented. She was plain and unostenta-
tious in her ways and customs. had many
noble virtues, was esteemed and loved
by all who knew her, and was indeed a
kind and indulgent Mother to her chill
dren, who will miss her very much. But
she is gone! Let us pull back the cur
tains of death and take a last look at her
we all loved so we'll; one more sad look
at that cold, silent form as it peacefully
sleeps the long sleep of death! Eyes
that have beamed so tenderly are cold
and leaden. Lips that once sung the
gentle lullaby and gave the first warm
kiss of love, are now silent and blood
less. Hands that caressed so fondiy and
tenderly, are stiff and m~otionless. Heart
that beat in gentle unison is throbless
forever. The sunny face once lighted up
with beaming Joy is cold and marble
like, and the breast that heaved with
gentle emotions is silent. Mother is
dead! Draw back the pail. Tearfully
wrap her in her robes; tenderly lay hel
away midst wreathed flowers of affec.
ton and beneath the lilies; silently GOV.
er her with the cold clods and peacefully
let her sleep, for the gentle and kind
spirit that once dwelt with US here, has
winged its way to realms above and ii
now basking in the sunshine of glory
while We sadly water her grave with the
bitterest tears of aching hearts.
