nonths, oldest child ol Wilbur and Lil-


 Han Wiers, died Thursday, Aug. 23d, af. ter an illness of five days. The funeral was largely attended by the relatives and many friends of the family. Services were conducted by Rev. o. E. Thyaer who spoke from the text, "Suffer little children to come unto me-" Burial in the family lot at the head of the lake. He was an unusually bright and active little boy and great favorite of all, es- pecially his parents and grandparents. This little child, so early dead, is safe, and this is 8 beautiful and comforting thought:
 Reckoning hands of little one-see, Childish voice calling, Oh, mother to
 thee;
 Rosy y-cheeked darling, the light of our
 home,
 Taken so early, is beckoning, come."

 The funeral of Noah Pease was large ly attended from his late residence Satur- day, Aug. 25th, at 1 p. m. In the ab- sence of MT. Hitchcock, Ellington's resi- dent pastor, Rev. Hutchins, of Indian Or chard, former pastor, oficiated, and spoke very appropriately of MT. Pease's int Ao ness. Among other remarks he said, ''he knew not what marble monument would be erected to his memory or what would be inscribed thereon, but to him it seemed that his farm was his monument" " And certainly one riding past his finely cultivated fields, luxuriant mowings and well-kept buildings, must say that they 'proclaim the man." His farm is one of the best in Holland County. MT. Pease was director, a large stockholder and patron of the Somers Creamery Co. His age was 76 years. We understand that his son, who leaves remunerative busi- ness in Pennsylvania, is coming to reside at the old home.
