F. K. WILCOX.

Franklin Kelsey Wilcox was born IN
Stowe, Summit county, Ohio, on Decem-
Ger 2S, 1919. Up to the time he was
thirteen years Of age he lived on his
aather's farm. At that age he went TO
the home Of his grandparents in Con-
necticut. From thence he went to
an uncle's in Springfield, Mass, where
no learned the tinsmith's trade. He
anited with the Congregational Church
at Berlin, Conn.,, at the age OF eighteen.
AT the age of twenty-one he returned to
Stowe where, in 1871, he married his
yjrst wife, Elizabeth COrnelia Rockwell.
She died in lS43. Returning to COnnec-
SicUt in 1S45, he was married to his
second wife, Julia Elizabeth Porter. To
xhem were born four children, three
daughters and one son, all OF whom
died before their mother and she died in
1850. In April, 1851, he married his
ahird wife, Lucinda NJ. Sage, daughter
vof Rev. H. P. Sage, of Huntington, 0.
-Four children were born, three sons and
one daughter. The oldest son, Frank,
was killed in a railroad accident, on
July 8, 1888. OF the remaining chill
&lren, two, a son nddaughter, are living
IN Ohio and one son in Missouri.
Mr.. Wilcox had been quite a traveller.
IN 1850, after his second wife's death, he
sailed around the Horn and went to Cal
1fornia gold hunting, from whence he
returned in January, 1851. He made see
oRd trip to California, starting in June,
1856, and returning III August, 1857. His
third trip was made four years later be-
tween October /, 1861, and October 10,
1862, after which he returned to Spencer
and moved from there to Wellington.
InJune, 1867, he went to Missouri and
settled on farm near Macon City.
After living there for almost a quarter
,ot a century he returned to Ohio in 1892,
alnd took up his residence in Wellington,
where he lived until his death.
In 1854 he Joined the F. Il A. NJ.
and was the first one made in the
Sullivan Lodge.
Four years ago last August he had a
slight paralytic stroke which incapaci-
tated him for work. On Sunday, Sep
tember /, he attended church for the
frst time for over year. The night fol-
lowing he was taken sick and died Sun
shay morning two weeks later, Septem-
her 10, 1895, aged 70 years, 8 months and
IL days.
lie was great sufferer, but with all
dis pain he bore it very patiently. His
patience was the subject of remark of
AlOth his physician and friends. Even
when his illness was the most painful,
1T was borne with that cheerfulness of
spirit and that quiet strength which
marked him as a true disciple of our
EonI and Master, Jesus Christ.
Tie was buried with Masonic hOnOrs,
Rev. A. +. Skeele officiating, in the

AMELIA j. HAMLlN.

Mrs. Hamlin will be remembered by a
a few of our oldest citizens as having
been a resident here during her early
married life. 1t was here that two
daughters were born, both Of whom pre-
ceeeded the mother to the better land.
The children who survive her are Geo. II.
aamlin and Mrs. Emma P. Proctor, of
Grinnell, and Chas. +. Hamlin, Of Pas
sa'sena, Cal. The years during which
Mrs. Hamlin gave to her father Grand
pa Perry, the most faithful and loving
care are still fresh in the memory of
very many and to them the words of
Prof. Parker will seem most appropriate.
.Snrely, it can most truly be said
ns her that those who knew her
but loved her best:
''FOrty years ago three married men
stepped on this spot where Grinnell now
stands to locate new town. The lives
OS these three men have been completed,
and the second one Of their wives, Mrs.
Amelia j. Hamlin, is to be buried to-day.
She was bOrnin Ohio siXty-eight years
ago, was educated at Ipswich, Mass, un-
der Prof. and Mrs. John G. COwles. Near
January l, 1854, the attention of Rev.
Homer Hamlin, her husband, was called
TO Mr.. Grinnell's notice in the New York
Independent of a plan to organize set
tlenent in the West, where religion, ed
NeztiOn and reform should be the leading
factors. Mr.. Hamlin was semi-invalid;
such home for themselves and their
two daughters was tempting. In few
months he, and j. B. Grinnell and ThOs.
H0lyOke founded this town. Mrs. Ham,
hin brought with her scholarly tastes, q
somewhat poetic temperament, musi-
clans skill, sincere generosity, the
herOism of service, and beautiful self
fOrgetfulness. Such qualities compelled
her to be prominent in the young COM
mUnity, and made her most helpful.
During her forty years Of almost unin-
Gerrupted residence here her character
Host none Of its beauty or attractiveness,
hui bound to her such old and new
friends as it is perpetual honor to pos
sess- Her prOfOundest thoughts wert
uttered in life more than in speech. She
hOnOred her church membership by q
beautiful service in all charity and re-
iigi6as activity. Her children may vel
call her blessed. Grinnell, Ia, Herald
