.IOnall Plerce,

Death has again entered our midst
and has taken from among us one OF
our aged fathers, and one who was
highly esteemed and loved by all who
knew him. Jonah Pierce was born in
Delaware county, Ohio, April 8, 1890,
and departed this life at his home in
Chillicothe February 8. 1900, aged 90
years, 10 months. He was married to
Sarah Ann Speer April 27, 1852. To
this union We're born seven children,
two of whom have preceded their faith
er to the better land. He also leaves
an aged wife and a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn their
loss. Mr.. Pierce removed with his fam
lily from Ohio to Adams county, Iowa,
in 1887, where he located and made his
home until he removed to Chillicothe
in 1896.
Mr.; Pierce united with the Presby-
terrain church in 1864, VITA which he
held membership until his death.

eNtinguished the flames before the ar
rival of the department.. The damage
amounted to about $40, to carpet and
furniture.
Mike Clifford, Rock Island section
foreman between Ottumwa and Eldon,
had his shoulder dislocated in pc
culiar manner last evening. While
standing near the semaphore signal
tower below Iowa avenue, the opera
tor shifted the lever in the tower that
raises the rod. to which Mr.. Clifford
was holding. The sudden action raised
Mr.. Clifford off his feet and dislocated
his shoulder. DR.. Watson was summon
ed and reduced the dislocation, which,
while painful for time, will not re-
suit in anything serious.
