Mass, and others equally famous in the

could no more keep from being active
in political life than the duck could
keep from swimming and be true to his
nature. From White Plains, New York
the original Lounsberry went to STAN

early days of Yale that more Of this
family were graduates from that insti-
tuition than any other family. Cover
nor Lounsberry, of Connecticut, and
Professor Lounsberry of Yale are Of
this stock. Every line Of Colonel
L~ounsberry's ancestry has a record in
the revolutionary war.
All who know Colonel Lounsberry
we'll know how ready he is to adapt him
self to changing circumstances and
make the best of every situation.
Whether good or bad fortune comes it
is apparently all the same to him, so far
as outward appearance is concerned.

tors, probably the mother of Elizabeth
Dubois, wife of Richard Lounsberry, as
the incident occurred in the neighbor-
hood in which they resided, that during
the French wars, prior to the revolu-
ton, Mrs. Dubois was captured by the
Indians who had her tied to stake and
were about to set fire to the fagots
which they had piled around her, when
she commenced singing and SO charmed
the Indians with her voice that they
waited and waited, and in the meantime
a rescuing party came to her relief.
Colonel Lounsberry under similar cir
cumstances would be quite certain to
tell a story, sing a song or do something
to get himself out of the difficulty, but
it is certain he would not give up. If
he did it would be on the theory that
death is a blessing and he would make
the best of that. It is certain that he
would not fear it.

Methodist church in Martin county,

was one of the four who organized the
first Presbyterian church in North Da-
kota. The first four members were
Colonel G. A.. Lounsberry, Henry F.
Douglas, John S. Mann and I. G. Adams.
The organization was at Bismarck in
July 1873. Reverend I. o. Sloan, re.

attracting considerable attention both by
architects and the general public,is being
finished by them. Among many resi-
