Death of Mr.. Noah Wiltfong.

The death of Mr. Noah Wiltfong oc-
cured at his residence last Sunday after
noon April 2Sth, and though expected
by his family and those most intimated-
ly acquainted with him, yet the desire to
see life's span still heightened out, and
a hope to see him restored to health, and
continue longer period with his loved
ones. was the wish of all.
Mr.. Wiltfong at the time of his death
had passed his - birthday, having
been born in Mama county, Ohio, on
Feb. 2nd, 1913. lie moved with his
parents to La Porte county, this State,
afterwards, in the year 1865 he moved
to Marshall county, taking UP his resi-
dence upon the farm where he breathed
his last, surrounded by his nearest reld-
tiveS and friends.
In 1911 he was united in marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Hostetler BY this
union ten children were born to them.
Four of these preceded their father to
| the unknown shore. Those who still
survive him are: Il. +. Wiltfong, of
Huntington, Ind, Mrs. DIR. Shafer, of
Rochester, Mrs. Andrew Thayer, j. W.
Wiltfong, of this city, and \. ). Wilt
fong who lives upon the homestead,
and also an invalid brother Sylvester.
NJ Wiltfong will remain at the old
home, and do all in his power TO make
happy the declining years of the aged
widow.
Mr.. Wiltfong in his younger days, was
man of energy. When he came to
Marshall county, and located at the
place that has been associated with all
his efforts, he found an unbroken for
est. But with the indomitable will that
was characteristic of the man, he cleared
the large track of land, and converted
it into one of the best farms in this sec
ton of the State. Nor in his effort tC
create suitable home for his loved ones
did he neglect his social intercourse
with his neighbors, and the words OF
praise that are heard on every hand is q
fitting eulogy for his past life.
The funeral services were held at his

An Excursion.

80 many of our citizens have spoken
favorably of visiting the great battle
field park of Chicamauga this coming
summer. that a few of our citizens have
taken the matter under consideration
of arranging for an excursion the latter
part of May This is thought advis-
able, as at the time of the dedicating
services, which will take place IN Sep
tember, VIII be visited 10y thousands,
and thus an early excursion will avoid
the rush.
The following will be the route, one
day at Nashville: one day at the battle
field of stone River: two days at Chat
tanooga. Look Ont Mountain and Mis-
sion Ridge, Kelley and Browns Ferry;
and two days at Chicamauga Park.
If company Of seventy-lve can be
arranged for. the ia there and return
Will be only SlG.35. This Will also en-
title the holders of tickets the privilege
of occupying the ears while enioute,
which viii greatly reduce the expense
of the trip.
There IS no doubt that the sufficient
number can lie secured to make this eX-
cursion a success. As the undertaking
is purely a home effort. and no scheme
gotten up by railroad agents 20 make
money, those of our citizens who have
never visited these historic grounds,
should take advantage Of this splendid
opportunity. We Will give more con
cised mention of it later.

cost little money. But what a great
result would we derive from such an IL
veStment. 1t would be but short
time, when with little attention, such
as shade trees planted, beautiful lawns,
and graveled walks, would give us an
elegant park IN connection with our
public school grounds that would be un
rivaled throughout the State. This is
in our estimation worthy of considera-
ton. and would not fear to make this
predictions: If our city would take the
initiative, that sufficient sum ofmoney
could be raised through private sub
scriptions to purchase tins piece of
ground, if our authorities would see
that it was placed in proper condition,
and give It the proper care.
What is more needed than a place
where under the cooling shade OF over
hanging b0ughs, an afternoon could be
spent 10y our wives and children. This
is but a suggestion, but we believe oul
citizens VIII see the feasibility of it.
