LINDEN.

Miss Annie Trudgen of Della
ware, Michigan, is visiting her
Aunt, Mrs. E. G. Ingram, or this
village
We understand cards are out for
a wedding to take place in the near
future at this place, or not, very far
distant, which goes to show that as
the nights get colder, love gets
warmer.
The town board was in session
last neutrality-suspicious. business
settling up with path-masters of the
town and for the erection of new
bridges, etc.
Two old respected citizens died
in this village last week.
Peter Coach died Tuesday morn
ing, the Both, aged sixty one years.
Deceased had been great sufferer
with spinal disease for the last
twelve years, having been confined
to his bed the last three years of the
time. He was a faithful christian
to the last. His remains were taken
to the NJ. E. Church on Thursday,
the I'd, where memorial services
were he'd by Rev. R. Burnip, after
which he was laid to rest in the
Linden cemetery, to await the resur-
reCtion.
Also on the evening of the same
day our citizens were shocked on
learning that Uncle Joseph Bow
den was found dead beside his horse
and wagon near his farm residence,
two miles northeast of this village.
His son Richard rents the farm, and
was that day engaged in threshing,
and his father had been visiting
him and just on his leaving for
home, to this village, the sad event
occurred. He was first discovered
by his sons little girl, who first
made the alarm to those engaged
in threshing. Whereupon Mr.. Zach
Wearne ran to his assistance and
discovered at once that he was I'M
conscious. But life was preceptible.
He lived however but few minutes
after Mr.. w. reached him, and it is
thought by all he died in an apo
plectic fit. His age was seventy-eight
years. He was a devoted member
of the P. M. Church for many years.
Also an old, respected member of
Odd Fellows Lodge, who took charge
Of the remains, and conducted the
funeral according to the rights and
beautiful ceremoney of their order.
Several Members from Iowa Lodge
No. at Mineral Point were preasent
as well as from Dodgeville Lodge
No 147. The family of the deceased
have our heart felt sympathy.
At a regular meeting Of High
land Lodge, No. %, l. o. O. F., held
at Vivians Hall, Oct. Both, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
{, Whereas. 1t hath pleased divine providence
TO remove from our midst brother with whom
we have had long associations, and Of whom ii
must ever be said was true and faithful
Resolved, While bowling in sad submission to
the decree that separates Brother Joseph Bowden
from the ranks of the living and deprives US of
q cherished comrade and friend, we are reminded
of those to whom he was bound by stronger and
Resolved That in his death we express our
coincidence with the aged widow and family of
deceased, and trust their sad bereavement may
be tempered by the consoiIng influences OF Him
who doeth all things well.

Brothers wear the badge of mourning for thirty
days.
