Obituary.
MRS. MARY. HAYWARD.

Il
Mary Hayward was born in Greer
county, Ind, August "a, 1855. She
moved from Indiana to Kansas in
June 1874. She united with the NJ
E. church in Indiana, in her seven
teenth year. After coming to Kan.
sas, she became a member of the
United Brethren church in 1875
Since 1874 she has resided in Kansas
continuously except the years 1888
and 1874, which were spent in Arkan-
sas. She was united in marriage on
August %, 1874, to J. l.. Hayward,
who survives her.
Her death, which was briefly noted
in last weeks REGISTER, occurred
very suddenly on the night of Wednes-
day, Feb. 8, 1898, and was a very sad
affiiction to her family and friends.
The funeral services were held at the
home a mile south of lola. at l p.
m. Friday, Feb. 10, 1893. and were
attended by many friends of the
deceased. The remains were inferred
in the cemetery at lola.
Mrs. Hayward was kind mother,
a devoted wife, and true Christian
woman, loved and respected by all
who knew her. The tenderest SYM
pathy is extended to the bereaved
family.

REMARKABLY COLD WINTERS.
Interesting Data to efresh the Memory
OF the Oldest Inha hitant

] Memory
OF the Oldest Inhabitant.
The extraordinary cold now being ex-
| perienced nearly all over the north
temperate zone has caused the Repub-
lies Curious man" to spend consider
able time in looking up data concern
ing the stalwart winters of olden times.
Here are the results of this research:
In February, 164, the weather was
unusually severe all over Europe: at
Constantinople the ''two seas" were
entirely frozen over for a period of
twenty days In 1868 the Thames
was solidly frozen for fourteen weeks.
The winter of 14O7-'Os was so intensely
cold in Britain that all small birds per-
ished- In Germany there was a similar
state of affairs. In Baden the rocks
gathered in the cities and actually ate
great holes out of the backs of cattle
and hogs. 1t is also ON record that in
146S the army in Flanders used wine
that was regularly cut from the gudg-
cons with hatchets and distributed in
the shape of ice. In 1864 the cold was
SO intense that ice formed seventy-one
inches thick on the River Thames in the
heart of London. This beats the prize
block now on exhibition at st. Paul
by n least one inch. In 17O9-'1O
was thc winter known by distinction
as 'the cold winter" All the rivers
and lakes of Europe froze solid to the
bottom In Poland and all of North
Germany the earth was frozen nine feet
deep. The Adriatic, the Baltic and the
Black seas were all frozen over. Even
at Genoa, in Sunny Italy," the Medit-
eranean was frozen for miles out at sea.
In ZIG the straits of Copenhagen were
frozen over SO that people travelled
across in perfect safety. The winter of
1740-'41 was scarcely less severe than
that of 17O9-'10. Snow laid ten feet
deep in Spain and Portugal for seven
weeks. The Zuyder Zee was frozen
over, and thousands crossed it on the
ice Just for the mere novelty of such an
experience. In 1744 snow laid twenty
three feet deep on level throughout
southern Russia. In 1771 the Elbe froze
to the bottom, and ice formed five feet
thick on the Danube below Vienna
In America the record has been al
most equally as startling. In 1880 and
again in 1921 New York harbor was
frozen over so solidly that teams were
driven safety over to Staten island on
the ice. Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
weather of 1855 was SO severely cold
that the indicating fluid in all mercu-
rial thermometers CONCEALED solidly in
the bulbs of the instruments. On the
18th and oath days of January, 1881,
persons were frozen to death
in the United States. Even as far south
as Mobile people who hardly knew
what frost meant saw the mercury sink
to zero-St Louis Republic.
