Death of One of the Early Settlers
Of ROrIauR GnmnIU

The early pioneers, who felled the
primitive forest trees and cleared up
the country, would occasionally leave
chOit e chestnut, majestic oak or stately
walnut for shade, but they are nearly
all gone. One can drive many miles
through the country without seeiLg z

There ar" bat few of them remaining,
AMI btfure niany years the last one
will be gone.
The a. ath of Mr.. II. K Martin, OF
Suffeld, which occurred un the oath

of the above fact.

miles, where he died, lived Mr.. Mar.
tin. Here he spent his youthful days
grew TO manhood, passed the prime oil
his life and declining years, in all
three-fourths of u century. In 1884 he
| was married to ROsanna NJ Williams
of FIauklin township, Portage county

of whom are now living and are re.
spected members Of society. Caliats

i'll the sports of the day, when in tn
prime of life, in many of which h

His intelligence was above the aver
age of the early pioneers, as is atteste,
by the fact that he was elected to til
office of justice of the peace four time
consecutively and held other position
of honor and trust i'll his township.
He was All ardent Democrat and al
ways took deep interest in the sue

When the people of the United
States buried Gen. Grant they laid
beside him in the grave forever the
last excuse for sectional agitation.
Almost with his dying breath the
commander of the Union armies ex-
pressed his thankfulness that he had
been spared long enough to see for
himself the " happy harmony" that
had been established between the
North and the South, and his words
to the eX.Con federate Gen. Buckner,
from whom he had wrested Fort DON
elson during the war, will live in his
tory. 1--WE may now," wrote General
Grant, "weli look forward to a per.
petual peace at home and national
strength that will screen us against
any foreign complication. At the
tomb Saturday four of the most dis
tinguished surviving Generals of the
war-Sherman and Sheridan, who had
fought for the Union, and BuckDer
and johnson, who had fought for the
Confederacy-stOod side by side. And
as the iron doors closed on the mortal
remains Of the dead commander, they
shut in forever the decaying corpse OF
sectional animosity.
Will it be possible fes partisan fanati.
cism or political necessity to again re-
vive feeling Of antagonism between
the two sections of the Union? Will
it be in the power of the politicians tG
persuade the people to pay no heed to
Gen. Grants dying exhortations, and
| to falsify his edictions of happy
harmony" between those who were al
enmity only. q few years ago?
Let US hope not! When partisan
orator and organs charge the South
with heading new rebelliOns; with q
determination to defy the constitution
and violate the rights of citizens; with
being still "unreconstructed rebels,
and with desire to be again "i in the
saddle" let US hope that the people
will have the good sense to remember
the words of peace and fraternity
traced by the feeble hand of the dying
soldier of the Union, and will rebukt
the attempt to tear open his grave ant
destroy the patriotic work to which h'
devoted the last hours of his life.-
