of moral report before the world and
Just and upright before God and man."

the lodge and copy be sent to the
county papers and to the bereayed
relatives and friends.

OBITUARY.
Concerning the late Mr.. ]. T. Hum
phrey, father of Mrs. J. H. Pickett, of
this city, who died at Waterloo on
Tuesday morning, September 25, the
Courier says: 'The deceased was
born in New York City May 10, 1880.
He moved with his parents to Utica,
N. Y, and then to Ohio, near Colum-
bus, where Lis father died. Being the
oldest of the family he began then to
shift for himself and came to Black
hawk county in 1864, at first making
his home with his brother, TT Hum
phrey, in Eagle township. He mar
ried Mary Aver in Waterloo about
twenty-six years ago, and made his
home here since, though being absent
considerable of the time. There are
surviving him his wife and two step
daughters, Mrs. ]. H. Pickett, of o.
kaloosa, and Miss Ida Aver, the kin
dergartner who lives at the home in
this city. Besides his brother in
Eagle township, he also leaves the
following sisters: Mrs. e. j. Davis
and Mrs. Harvey Wagar, of Tama
county, and Mrs. Abraham Bronson,
of Wright county. The deceased had
been member of the Congregational
church in this city since his residence
here, but previously he was member
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He was man who was highly es-
teemed in all his relations in life and
his death will be sincerely mourned
not only by the immediate relatives
but by all who knew him, especially
those who knew him best. So quiet
and retiring was his disposition that
comparatively few realized what a
well-stocked mind he had, how thor
oughly he was acquainted with what
is going on in the world, and how
earnestly he sympathized with all
which is progressive and good. Nor
did he ever lose an opportunity to do
a kindly act to a neighbor or to any
one in Distress
