% years, / / months and 20 days. He
was baptized and taken into the NJ.
E. church in the summer OF 1891, un-
der the pastorate of Rev. j. d. Moore
and has been a loyal true member of
the Buck Greek Glass since that time.
AT the call of his country he left his
father and mother and only sister and
went forth to defend and maintain
the honor Of his native land. He en-
listed in Company +" M, "Fifty- first
Iowa Infantry on June Ia, 1898, and
just three months to day the sad
and startling news was flashed over
the wires and conveyed to his parents
and sister that Ellery was dead. He
was teacher in the Sunday School
and an efficient workerin the Epworth
League. Oh, how badly we shall miss
him from his ploce in the church,
and wha, a great sorrow has come to
the dear ones at home, and we pray
that our blessed heavenly Father may
sustain them by His grace and enable
them to bear this great atfiiction. He
left this precious message: Tell my
folks | died as tried to live, firm
believer in the Lord Jesus Christi"
Tried to go via the Laudanum Route.
Quite little excitement prevailed
in Oakfeld and Brayton, Tuesday.
Elijah Pearson, an old pioneer citizen,
we'll known here was the cause OF it
all. His health has been poor for
some time and of late his mind seemed
to be unbalanced at different periods.
Tuesday morning he came over to
Brayton and bought four ounce bot
tie of laudanum. Returning to Oak
field he told several parties that he
was going to kill himself, that he was
tired Of this world, etc., but no one
paid any attention, as he had often
said the same thing before. This
time, however, it was no joke. He
stopped in the middle Of the street
and took swallow of the drug and
then proceeded to his home. Then in
the presence of his wife he turned up
the bottle and drank the entire con-
tents. Of course he sickened at once
and Doctor Koob was hastily sum-
moned and by hard work at last sue
ceeded in getting the poison out Of
his body and saving his life. Had
the dose been but trifle smaller it
would, undoubtedly, have proved
fatal. On Wednesday Mr.. Pearson
had recovered sufficiently from his
rash act to be able TO walk about, but
did not remember anything about the
laudanum incident.

Tuesday of this week he sold to Mr.
w. D. Poage two fine COWS at 10000
each and often sells thoroughbred
stock at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
