The deceased was daughter Of IIeRry

was soldier in the War of 1872 and
government surveyor. Her maternal
grandfather. WIN. Crawford, was revolt
tionary soldier. He served nnder Gen.

the United States in 1924, Mr.. Crawford
travelled considerable distance to meet him
and was warmly greeted by his old comman-
der. The deceased was married to her now
bereaved husband on December q, 1889.
They settled IN Centreville, the county seat
of Wayne county, where they continued to
reside for some thirty years, when they re-
moved to indianapolis. Their children
we're O son and three daughters, of whom
John F. Julian, Esq, of Indianapolis, and
Mrs. Mary Downey, Of Durango, Colorado,
only survive.
Mrs. Julian was an exemplary wife and
mother, whose chief care was to warm and
brighten the chosen empire of home. Pru-
dent and thoughtful, she was its light and
guide. Doubtless she has :founl rest and
peace in the Great Hereafter" The gym
pathles of wide circle of relatives and
friends 90 out to her husband, thus sad
ly bereft in hiS latter days.
Miss Frances E. Willard, whose name
and works are of world wide fame and in
fuence, il most attractvely put before the
readers of AIden's illustrated magazine, Lit
ersture, for Sept 2, in fine portrait, q
bright, readable biographical sketch, and a
contribution from her own pen on 'Wom-
ans Temperance Work: Its Origin and
Evolution" Miss Willard is at the head of
what has been characterized rs the largest
venture ever attempted by women, and has
shown an amount of tact energy and or
gapizing ability that are extraordinary. One
well known writer says of her, that las
public speaker Miss Willard is without u
peer among women. With much of the Ed
ward Everett in her language, there is more
of the Wendell Phillips in her manner of
delivery She is wholly at home on the
platform, with grace in bearing, ease and
moderation in gesture, and in her tones
there are tears when she Wills 1t Is the
voice books call magnetic-a spell is in il to
please and carry away. 1t is musical and
mellow, never thin and on an exceptionally
dstinct articulation winds away to remotest
listeners as sounds from the silvery bells OF
the Sabbath. Altogether she wears the en-
phasis of gentleness under profound con-
viction." The publisher of Literature($l
