Elise won't take one of us by that time

this compact with the understanding that
each should do his best to win Elise, tho
capricious in the meanwhile. This ar

Judging by appearances, however, Scad-
leigh's chances were by far the best. Elise
visited him every day, bringing him jellies,
the work of her own hands, and fiqwers-
but not anemones, for she had undergone
a revulsion of feeling that made her vow
never to look upon an anemone again.
Considering the privileges he enjoyed as
an invalid, IT was not wonderful that

WIN. II. COUCH.

Died in Cleveland on Saturday, Feb,
5th. 1893, at residence of his son, Ed
gar Couch, of heart disease and ola
age, VIM. H. Couch in his 81 year. Mr.
Couch was for many years resident
in Wellington, where he was a much
respected citizen, holding offices of
trust and respect and will be remem-
bored by many of our citizens. Mr..
Couch was and is held id memory of
the order Of F. 4 A. NJ, of this place
and other places. Mr.. Couch
has resided in Cleveland for several
years. in the employ Of the L. s. 4 NJ.
r. Ry., in the Auditors department of
grain with his son, who is still in the
department. Mr.. Couch leaves sis

years, resides in this place with his
daughter, Mrs. John Mallory. His
funeral was held in Norwalk February
8th. at 80 p. m. Thus our old land
marks are being laid aside and soon
hre forgotten. May we all memorise
and cherish his memory.

Evidence of the good will and fellow
ship existing betw cen the churches of
Wellington, and the warm regard felt
for the outgoing Congregational pastor
was given in the surprise of last Sun
day evening, the other churches omit,
ting their own service to be present at
this and packing the house. Rev. A.
G. Wall of the Baptist church, Rev. K.
l.. Waggoner, of the Methodist Epis-
copal, and Rev. w. 7. Barnes, of the
Christian church we're on the platform
and as on many other occasions all had
some part in the service. Their con-
gregations were glad to cooperate
with their pastors in this evidence of
regard to a clergyman, who for five
years has been in the community a
worthy example of his sacred calling
reverent, dignitied, working for the
moral and christian advancement of
the people. This spontaneous and un-
expected tribute touched the recip-
iens who conteEded with conflicting
emotions as he proceeded with his
farewell service.
The church had burned and been re-
built during his pastorate; the usual
events that come into a PASTORS life
had been his in experience, the burials,
the marriages, the baptismals, but
he referred to none of these. Many
waited to grasp his hand, and to say a
word of farewell. Mr.. Skeele started
for Painesville Monday and his family
followed today.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-02-09

The new Congregational church has
seldom looked more attractive than
with the arrangement for the receipt
ion last Wednesday evening. The
Sunday school room was transformed
into spacious parlor opening into the
audience room. The Young Peoples
Society had the affair in charge and
the evening was made delightful.
Dainty refreshments were served in
the north class room, where the
warmth of color in the table decora-
tions we're in pleasing contrast to the
zero temperature of the winter night.
1t was he only favorable opportun-
ity that many had OF greeting the fam
lily of the retiring pastor, and but for
the exceeding cold many more would
gladly have availed themselves of
the opportunity to meet them again
socially. Rev, and Mrs. Skeele and
Mrs. E. B. Skeele had during their res
idence here been helpful in every good
work, contributing both to the social
and the religious life of the community
and winning many friends. The loss
of their presence, their influence, and
their ability to help in every way that
was elevating to the religious or the
intellectual life will be keenly felt,
and the best wishes uf the whole COM
munlty will go with them to the larger
field of usefulness.
