SKETCH OF MRS. MENDENHALL.
An Active. Christian Life, Complete in Good
Works, Closes in Peaceful Death.

Yesterday morning, as the residence of her
son. DR.. T. b. Harvey. Elizabeth Harvey Men
denhall died, ia the eghty-seventh year of her
age. She was born near Lynchburg. Va. and
in 1912 her parents removed to Ohio. They
were members of the Society of Friends, and
she was always faithful and active member Of
the society. and held in it various positions Of
trust and confidence. Her faith was manifested
by her works, and her whole life was character
lied by words and acts said and done for
the benefit of others. While this WAS
prompted by her kind and gentle nature,
it was also the reflex Of the ex-
psrience and teachings of her parents.
Her father, Thomas Burgess, dured the hard.
ships incident to standing for principle in the
carly days Of the Friends 10 the Penn colonies,
and her mother. Elizabeth Burgess. nee Hen
bricks. was among the first to maintain that the
colorsd man waG entitled to freedom. and her
inheritance was much lesseued by the liberation
of slaves she otherwise would have owned.
When her parents moved from Virginia to
Ohio they were followed by many Of their COL
orsd people who had been freed Mrs Meuden-
hall was at this time twelve years Of age. and
her education was superior for those days. She
and her first husband, DR.. Jesse Har-
vey, were instrumental in forwarding edu.
~.
About 1640 they invested . large portion of
their means in establishing an academy and
erecting building therefor. and devoting much
time therein as teachers. At a time when it
was very unpopular. even among those who
afterwards became warm Abolitionists, Mrs.
Harvey in one room of the academy taught
class OF colored children and continued so to do.
although the patronage of whites was LARGELY
withdrawn from the school on this account
This was the first school for colorsd children in
Ohio.
IL lS47 she removed with her husband and
family to the Friends mission among the
Shawnee Indians in Kansas and there conduct
cd school Of Indian children and aided the In
diaps in acquiring the advantages of civilization
After the death. in Kansas. of her husband she
returned with her children to Ohio, and after
wards removed to Plalnfed Ind, since which
time her life has bsen largely spent in oui ct
Christian work. Since the death Of her second
husband she has made her home with Dr. Har-
vey, Of this city. She leaves another son, Dr.
VIM. F. Harvey, of Kansas City. Her only
daughter was the frat wife OF the late Judge
Solomon Blair. Her last illness was brief and
her death almost painless She retained her
mental faculties to the last Last evening the
members of the Marion County Medical Society
passed resolutions Of coincidence with their asso-
ciats, DR.. Harvey.

A peasant named Bordereau was working
in a field with his wife and ~brother-in-

Bordereau left the field and returned to
his cottage, whittier his wife soon fol-

the house her husband called to her to

there was a tremendous explosion, which

they found him lying lifeless on the shat

while the walls were smeared with blood.
He mad undressed and laid himself on the
bed, placing at his side a shell which he
had brought home with him on his return
from military service. He had then ig-

atoms. Bordereau, though still young,

Here is an interesting story which
shows how cool a man can be in the pres
ence of death:
One day during the last part Of the war
DR.. Willis Westmoreland was dressing
the wound Of a soldier who had been shot
in the neck near the carotid artery.
Suddenly the blood vessel gave way,
and just so quickly the surgeon thrust
his finger into the hole to stop the flow.
Doctor" said the soldier, what does
that mean?"
1T means DEATH" said the sur, on
calmly.
How long can | liver" asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly clear.
Until ] remove my finger" said DR..
Westmoreland.
The soldier asked for pen and paper,
wrote his will and an affectionate letter
TO his wife, and when the last thing was
done said quietly;
Let it 60"
The surgeon withdrew his finger, the
blood rushed out, and soon the man was
dead.
The brave fellow was buried in Oak
land, and ever since DR.. Westmoreland
has gone on memorial day and placed
flowers on the grave. This year when
memorial day came the doctor was at Salt
Springs. He left the scene of gayety,
came to Atlanta, and carried his tribute
Of flowers to the grave of II who was

$4,000 Worth OF Luck,

August Linse, a harness maker in the
employ of Thomas Bennett, is in great
luck. He came to this town three months
ago without money and without friends,
Now he is assured plenty Of money and
numerous friends. For the past two
years he has been investing
in the Louisiana State Lottery,
when SO fortunate as to have a dol,
lar, and last Sunday il was learned light,
ming had struck Seneca, and on Monday
Mr.. Linse received a copy of the lucky
numbers, the one-twentieth tickethe held
corresponding with the one drawing the
capital prize Of $500, 600, making his pro-
portion Sl5, 000-a comfortable little nest
egg as n financial start in life. He has
drawn on NJ. A. Dauphin through the
First National Bank for the amount, but
there lis many a slip'twixt cup and lip"
and he does nst feel as confident Of its re-
ceipt as some other people do. Never
the!ess he is c%heerfully at work, and we
predict him capable OF caring for his
fo%rtune--if the ticket held by him. No.
AS, 755, draws the coveted prize. He is
of good habits, and knows the value of a
dollar-though he manifests a weakness
for lotteries. Our advice TO the bows
with money burning their pockets is to
invest, but to also remember there are
10, 900 chances to one against you, and
