The pew-owners of the Union church
have decided that the repairs on the
church should be made by voluntary sub
scriptions and not by assessing the peWs
and this week an effort is being made to
raise the necessary funds. This is a
matter in which the entire community
should be interested and the best way
| to manifest such an interest is by con-
tributing cash towards it.

The picnic of Union Sunday school
last Friday was well attended. Through
the courtesy of Superintendent Storer
the morning train was held one hour
thereby giving those who wished,
an opportunity to go before the HIP
a. m. train. The point of deStina
ton was Heath's grove at Cambridge
- uO SlONS 10 plcdSdublN SlUI-
ated on a hill overlooking the village of
Jeffersonville, and is very pretty place
for picnic. Tables and swings and
an abundance of ice water had been pro-
yided by A. G. Griswold, to whom the
pic-nickers feel under many obligations.
About rs went down on the early train
and some 25 on the later train. The day
was passed as pic-nics usually are-feast-
ing and having good time generally.
One of the pleasant events was the
"bean bags" brought along by our city
friends, which added greatly to the
pleasure of the day.
Durkee, was fatally injured while
making up the Hyde Park train at
this station last Saturday morn
ing. He was trying to uncouple car
and as the pin drew hard asked the en-
gineer to back up little. The pin
then came out and the hunters passed
by each other in such a way as to press
against Durkee's body. He was put on
board the train and carried to his home
at Cady's Falls. Although unconscious
it was not thought he was mOrtally in
jured. Soon after reaching home he |
regained consciousness and complained |
of internal pain. At times throughout |
the day he appeared to be quite comfort |
able but remained in a Semi-conSciouS |
state. Saturday night change for the |
worse set in and when Sunday dawned |
it was evident that he could live but a
few hours. He died about five o'clock |
that afternoon. The cause of death |
being rupture of the bowels. Dan was
10 years old, had worked on railroads |
some two years and on the Hyde Park |
train since last June. He was well liked |
by his fellow-Workmen and considered |
good brakeman. The funeral took (
place Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Ward |
officiating. The floral display, which was |
very handsome, contained tokens from |
the train associates, who attended the |
funeral in a body. Mr.. and Mrs. Durkee
request us to thank the many friends
for their assistance and kind words in
their sudden bereavement.
