four weeks illness. His malauy was
not at first considered serious, but on
Monday of last week he was stricken
with paralysis on one side and two days
later on the other. 1t was felt after the
first stroke that there was little chance
of his recovery and when the secc nd
came all hope was abandoned. Mr..
Scott was born in Laraina county, Ohio,
July IL, 1916. lie moved with his par
ents to Lee county, Iowa, in 1852 and
to Decatur county in 1854. After COM
ing to manhood he rented farm for a
few years and then bought a fine farm
three miles west of town and continued
to operate that until 1894, when he
moved to town. In 1870 Mr.. Scott was
married to Miss Ira Jane Chenoweth,
who survives him. To them were born
six children, three Of whom are LIVING
and three dead.
The funeral services were held at the
house Saturday morning at 10 O'Clock
conducted by Rev. l. N. Woodward, as.
sisted by Elder Kob, and the remains
were taken to the Johnson cemetery,

A romantic wedding took place at Bed
ford Wednesday of last week, that after
forty years of separation brought the
love Of youth together and made two
aged hearts rejoice. 1t was the mar
riage of Josiah LITTER and Mary Jane
Kitchen. The groom is ~ years old and
the brides cheeks have been kissed by
the sunshine of 68 summers. They
knew each other in the bright days of
youth and had been lovers but their
paths in life diverged. Each married
and raised family, and in the many
years that followed both lost their COM
panions. It was while visiting in the
