addition. Colonel Crook, who has
been attached to the White House
staff ever since President Lincoln
time, says that the mail delivered
at the Executive Mansion has never
before averaged one-half of its pres
ent volume. kilograms come in at
the rate of 300 every twenty-four
hours, and of these three-fourths
are recommendations of candidates
for government places. All of the
letters are opened by Mr.. OBrien

be private, which are sent to the
desk Of Private Secretary Thurbur

(From Butler, Missouri, Times.)


Mrs. Martha Flesher, nee Irwin,
the subject of this sketch. was born
in Highland county, Virginia, on
Nov. s. 1903. She was married to
George Flesher, July LIST, 1924.
The fruit Of this marriage was two
children, a son and daughter. The
daughter alone survives. TIL FAM
lily emigrated west in 1865, first to
Indiana then to Illinois, and in 1870
to Missouri, settling in Bates coun-
ty, at what is now Virginia.
Twelve years ago her husband died
leaving her to widowed life.
She was converted and Joined
the NJ. E. church when about TWEEN
ty years of age. For many years,
both east and west she was con-
nected with pioneer Methodism and
the preachers found at her home a
hoSpitable welcome. She had a re-
freshing memory Of the past minis
istry and revivals Of the church.
She was Of Welsh descent and
inherited a strong and enduring
constitution, Der mother having
lived to the ripe age of ninety-one.
Her work in the church has been
most active and consecrated. I'm
til in the seventies she Wa a devot-
ed Sunday school teacher, rivaling
in activity those of younger years.
She abounded in good works. At
the decease of a sister, she took her
children and raised them to adult
age. Hel two grandchildren, at
the death of their parents, she also
took and reared, and they in turn
have ministered lovingly and faith
fully to her in her declining years.
She was naturally remarkably
pure in mind in thought. in word
and deed. Her piety was intelli-
gent and ardent.
In an unfinished letter written
to grand child the day before she
was taken sick-the 11th-She said
in speaking of her Affections, dis
ease will not rob mt Of much time.
| know that my race is almost run.
| am willing to bear whatever the
good Lord puts upon me. So, |
say the will of the Lord be done
The past seven and One-half years
she has lived in Butler with her
grandson, Howard H. Flesher,
where she died May IA, after three
days illness, aged 81 years, 6 mos.
and 3 days.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the house on Tuesday at
10 o'clock by Revs. VIM. Stephens
and H. H. Rabbit, and concluded
at the cemetery at Virginia where
her remains were laid to rest by the
side of her husband.

Lord is the death of his saints"
