of today only by an incident which

the horrible TO degree rarely pictured
outside of French romances a few
days after his death his son. now presi.

the corpse of neighbor which had been
stolen from the cemetery Of North Bend.

a medical college and demanded n view

statesman, father Of the scarchcr, his

John Scott Harrison was born at YIN
cennes. Ind, Oct. 4. 1901. and died at
North Bend. o.. May GO. 1873. He served
two terms in congress as Wing and
Republican-lsj3t to 1851. His grandson
and the present presidents son, Russell
Harrison, has already shown marked
ability as a business man, but his poll.

this leaves but thirteen fathers of sons.
and that tho sons Of four Of these have
not yet had time 70 show what is il
them, the proportion of talent in the de
sccndauts of tho others Is really surpris-
Ing. And of all it may bc said that they
have conducted themselves with honest
dignity and shown tho traits Of good
Americans. One presidents son became
president. another had the rare disiinc-
ton of being tho son Of one president
and the father of another, and several
others have served acceptably tn very
prominent places.
The Adams family have shown a uni
formity of talent for five generations,
albeit ia somo Instances the talent WIS
associated with a rather te5ty temper.
On the 26th day OF October, il6i
John Adams married Abigail Smith,
and on the next Sunday her father
preached from the text, For John
came neither eating bread nor drink
ing wine, and sc say he hath a
devil" with very pointed references
showing that be did not approve Of the
marriage. When his oldest daughter
Mary married he had preached from the
text, And Mary hath chosen that good
part which shall not be taken from her. 90
1t was the New England fashion in those
DAYS of the union of church and state,
and a very bad and cruel fashion it was.
Not only did the stern old preacher OBJ
joct 70 John Adams father, who was "a
small farmer, though a man OF talent
and influence, but John himself was a
struggling young lawyer and an avowed
enemy OF the established religion.
Mrs Abigail Adams was indeed "a won.
