Mr.. Shanks.
Dear Sr:-We have chang
ed our location from Jackson county
on the Mississippi river to Harrison
county on the Missouri river. Our
son, L. Ii. Buxton, M D., has
bought and located here-a very
pleasant, small, thriving city. The
Missouri valley is called the garden
OF Iowa. We came through the
state yesterday. Some parts are all
prairie and other parts are wooded
and bluffy, looks more like New Eng
land. We expect we have all come
here to stay as the doctor has sold out
In Fulton to doctor from York
state. Son, W. Albert, and wife re-
turned from Europe the last of Aug
ust, and are once more in Andover.
N. II. They went to Germany.
Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France
and England. In London book
store they met Mrs. Pulsipher, pre-
ceptress of Vermont Acad the
surprise was mutual, (Albert's wife
has attended Vermont Academy
L see that you have had hard early
frosts, east. We had none at Full
ton to injure anything till Septem-
Der 9th. Splendid crops in Iowa.
Visitors are going to see the corn
palace in Sioux City, now.
We should be very glad to see the
friends in Derry. The SITTER is a
welcome visitor, and l write to ask
you to change our address to Wood
bine, Iowa, so | add little besides.
Remember us to our friends, please,
ana accept our best wishes for your
self and family and the SITTER. Wei
like to hear of its prosperity. We
wonder where DR.. has settled
There are lots of things we should
like to know about that SITTER John
1on't tell of, and of course we don't
expect it. Do not stop our paper at
,he end of the year.
Truly,
Mrs. S. A. BUXTON.
We would inform our Woodbine,
illinois friends that - has loca-
ed at Northfeld. Mass, and we are
every day to hear that
Moody has been obliged to move out.
Mr.. Geo. W. Porter of Vernon,
Wis.,, who married a sister of the late
Vm. Yearly of this town, was acct
lently fatally injured last month.
We clip the following from the Wau-
,esha Freeman:
''On the morning of Friday, Aug.
list, Mr.. Porter started in company
With his wife's brother, Mr.. George
early, who is visiting from Mime
ota, to attend the fair at Waukesha.
IS they neared the railroad bridge,
he horse became frightened and the
arrlage was overturned, both gentle
len being thrown out. Mr.. Yearly
7as quite seriously injured Mr.. Por-
er, as it proved, fatally. Kind
riends crowded around doing all that
las possible to be done. Mr.. Por-
er was taken at once to the hotel.
nd physicians and the family were
nmmoned. Towards evening he was
aken to his home, where he lived un-
l Monday, Sept. Sd, when he quiet i
! breathed his last. He was uncon-
,ious most of the time, but knew and |
poke to his friends occasionally. |
Mr.. Porter was born Dec. 26, 49,
s, in Athens, Windham Co., Vt. j
.e came to Wisconsin in 1912, ar
wing in Milwaukee on June 18th. S
e was married to Lois Yearly on
lay 18th, 1915, and during all the S
ears of their married life they lived
the same neighborhood. !
Ills funeral, which was very large p
attended, took place on Wednes-
~, Sept. 9TH, at one O'Clock from
lie home and two at the church
he sermon was preached by the Rev.
r. Hubbard of Honey Creek. The
cath of Mr.. Porter was a shock and {
sorrow to the entire community. Il
D those nearest him it is, indeed,
re trial and bereavement. Since
e death of his wife last winter, he II
IS been, if possible, even more close
united with those of his own house. Fl
Id, than before. A devoted hus-
md and father, a kind nelghbor, s.
I. Porter will be missed by wide
role of friends" If
