The following is from Lake Odessa,
Michigan, paper and refers to sister Of
Grandma Cole:
On Friday, the 18th inst, Grandma
Howard was 80 years old, and the event
was celebrated by her and her near
relatives and dear friends at the home
OF her son, w. II. Howard, on Pearl
street. There was present in all eighteen
people, those from out of town being a
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Sturdevant, of Elm Hall; w. T..
Howard and wife, of Battle Creek; j. Il.
Howard and wife, OF Cleveland, Ohio;
Mrs. Ella Thrasher and Mrs. Jennie
Stephens, of Eaton Rapids, and IL. ID
Harrington, Of Leslie.
Grandma Howard is unquestionably
the oldest person in Odessa township.
She WAS born May Is, 1910, near Utica,
N. Y, and came with her parents to
Cleveland, Ohio, over rs years ago, when
that now grand city was no larger than
Clarksville, and the only hotel there was
a double log building. She later moved
to Michigan, and has lived at Portland
and Lake Odessa with her son, W. H.,
continually for thirty.four years.
A very merry time was had by all who
attended the grandma's birthday, and
none enjoyed the event or took'a deeper
and more profound interest than the old
lady herself.

The streets were fearfully dusty
Saturday, the wind carrying particles
into every room down town. The street
sprinkler is almost a necessity. This is
the first summer it has not been running
for some time. 1t is usual for the bust
ness men TO subscribe enough to pay a
man to do the work and to pay for the
water from the town. Not quite as much
was subscribed as usual, only about
enough to pay the man for his work.
The council was asked that the town
donate the water, but they declined. IL
all the business men would subscribe
plenty would oe made up, but there
are always a few who are willing the
other fellows should put up for public
benefits but that they be excused. We
think the public generally would approve
il the council would donate the water.
Sprinkling is benefit to the town in a
general business way, and whatever
helps the town as business center helps
at least little every piece Of property in
the town. We hope the sprinkler will
soon start and run regularly.

Mrs. Celestia Culver died at the fam
lily home in this city June 8, 1900, afte,
an illness of about two months. All
that loving hands guided by tender
hearts could do was done for her, but
all availed nothing, and she passed
away peacefully. The death Of Mrs
Culver is sincerely mourned by a host
OF friends, for during her long residence
here she has won the high regard Of a
large number. She was good woman
and all who knew her felt the influence OF
her beautiful character. Ever prominent
