which has cast a gloom over this town.
ship, was that OF Mr.. John E. Reynolds,
and his excellent wife, the former on
Tuesday, April sth, and the latter on
Thursday, the 10th, only two days after
her husband. Mr.. Reynolds was born in
Lancaster, Pa, Jan. 2s, 1917. He came to
this township in 1916 when it was all
bowling wilderness, there being only
few persons who preceded him. Shortly
after coming here he was married to Miss
Elizabeth Mosher, whose father was the
first settler in this township, and with
whom he lived harmoniously until his
decease. United in their lives, they were
scarcely divided in death. Mrs. Reynolds
was born liz Jefferson county, N. Y, Dec.
25, 1897, and was therefore of the age of Sc
years, 8 months and l6 days, while the
age OF Mr.. Reynolds was 81 years, 2
months and IL days, The disease which
carried them away was malarial fever, Mr.
Reynolds being sick but IL days, and Mrs.
Reynolds about one week. Mr.. Reynolds
was a man of the most decisive integrity.
AS citizen he was ever found on the
right side Of every moral question, and
however much he may have disagreed
with his fellows in political matters, none
questioned his honesty of purpose. AS a
husband he was all that could be desired.
AS a father he had the tenderest regard
for his children. As Christian, he was
universally regarded as eminently faith
full. For nearly forty years he was a
member of the M. e. Church, and he and
his wife were members of the first class
organized at this point. Mrs. Reynolds
was woman of retiring disposition, but
true and faithful in all the relations OF
life, and one whose memory will even be
cherished by all who knew her. The dou-
BILE funeral services Of the deceased took
place on Friday, attended by an immense
concourse Of citizens, and were exceeding
ly impressive, being conducted by Rev.
j. T. Pope, assisted by Revs. N. s. Word
en- and Geo. Struble, of this place, and
Revs. Diemer and WI. Hodges, of Def
ance, at the close of which their remains
were both inferred in the same grave in
our beautiful cemetery.
MIR. T. c. Ferguson is now associated
with Mr.. B. f. Atwood in blacksmith
and repair shop and in carriage making.
DR.. Schafer has received visit from
his mother during the past week. She
resides in Goshen, Ind, and expresses
herself highly pleased with her sons new
location. The following certificate of rec
ommendation has just been handed us,
which we cheerfully make public:
GOSHEN, IND, April S, 1884.
To whom 1t may concern:
This is to certify that DR.. Schafer read
medicine with me in my Office at Goshen,
Ind, tor the term Of three years, and that
he then attended three courses of lectures
and graduated with honor, in the Eclectic
School OF Cincinnati, Ohio, and that he has
his diploma to show the same, and
believe those who need physician can do
no better than to call on him.
