but after some years the energetic engineer
shifted his quarters from the North to the
Northwest and finally located in Nebraska.
In the meantime war was declared be-
tween the States, and during the strife and
after it, in fact until last week, no word had
ever passed between parents and daughter
so far removed from each other. The
father died, the other children grew up,
married, themselves became parents, and
yet no word from their long parted sister.

she had known from childhood, and who
was at that time sch0Ol-teacher in Lans-

her husband few months after the we'd

Soon after their arrival in LanSingburgh
Mr.. Powers had his attention attracted by
piece of flo0r cloth in the bottom Of the car

manufacture of table oil cloths. determined
to attempt the manufacture of the article.
His experiments were attended with SO
much success that he soon abandoned

In June of that year Mr.. Powers was
burned to death while making varnish. and
Mrs. Powers was badly injured while try
ing to save him. Left with two small chill
dren and an unfinished factory, on
which large sum was due, Mrs.
Powers did not despair. She bent all
her energies to the continuance OF the
business, and such was the Suce ess that at
tended her efforts that in 1912, when her
elder son was admitted to partnership, she
had fine business, large factory free
from debt and large sum OF money. Mrs.
Powers spent hours every day in the Office
and factory until about twenty years ago,
when she surrendered the personal control
of the business to- her son. The failure OF
the only bank in the village in 1877 made
banking institution necessity and Mrs.
Powers organized the private bank OF ID.
