JACOB +. GARLAND.

Jacob F. Garland died at his
home near Needmore, last Fri
day, aged about GO years. He
was a son of Jacob Garland and
his wife, Rebecca, who was a
sister of Aunt Fannie Covalt and
Squire John Fisher long since
deceased. Squire Fisher was
the father of the present Joseph
Fisher of Pigeon Cove.
The deceased was born on the
old home farm about two miles
below Needmore, and spent his
entire life there. He was mar
ried twice. The first time, to
Miss Lydia Covalt a sister of

Well, but about "Cracxey." Mill
ard Smith was his right name, but he
was a good fellow; and the children
especially were glad when Cracl1ey
came to make shoes.
He not only made shoes for An
drew Fishers family at Ladies Turn,
but he often made his home there,
doing turns about the house and help
ing with the work about the stable for
his board. One morning in the early
summer of 1854, he went to the barn,
brought colt out of the stable by the
halter, jumped onto its back, jabbed
the points of his sharp toed boots in
to its sides, gave Il yell, and started
up the pike for the watering trough.
The colt not appreciating Crackey' S
familiarity threw its head down tossed
its hind feet in the air. and stood
Crackey on his head in the road.
Poor Crackey, was pretty badl Y
hurt, and it was sometime before he
had sufficiently recovered from the
shock to be able to get to the house.
He ate no breakfast; but feeling better
later in the forenoon he went down be-
low the pike where Mr.. Fisher was
planting potatoes, took up hoe and
began to cover. He had not gone
very far when he began to stagger,
and dropping the hoe exclaimed,
"Fisher, upon my secret soul | can't
see to cover these potatoes" and
went up to fence corner and lay
down. Mr.. Fisher aided him to get
to the house, and put him to bed and
sent down to Harrisonville for DR..
Benedict. But he was beyond any
human aid and that night at II o.
clock, as the Fisher family were called
around his bedside, Crackeys life
went out, and his remains now rest in
the Presbyterian yard at Greenhill.
There are many other incidents con-
nected with the old place, but our ar
ticle has already reached undue pro-
portion and we must conclude it.

MRS. GEORGE ASHTON.

At her home in Lincoln, Nebraska,
on Sunday morning, January l6, 1900,
after a protracted and suffering i'll
ness, Ann Catharine, wife ofProf. George
Ashton, former principal of the pub
lie schools at Ames, Iowa, passed
peacefully to rest.
Mrs. Ashton was daughter of Mi
chael Barndollar, a brother of our
townsman Postmaster Woollet's moth
er. Mr.. Barndollar several years
ago, owned the farm near Fort Little
ton, now owned by Mercer Hastings;
and, also, the property now owned
and occupied by y. Is. Bare in Fort
Littleton, and kept store in the same
room that Mr.. Bure's store now is in .
Michael was great Methodist; and
it was largely due to his efforts that
the present commodious church at
Fort Littleton was built. His uncle
Jacob Barndollar, of Everett, had
built a fine church aud presented IL to
the congregi tion Of that hustling town;
and Michael's idea was, that Fort lit
tleton should have one built after the
plan of his uncle jacob. According
ly the Littleton people made firm,
strong pull, and the result was, at
that time one of the best churches in
the county.
Mr.. Barndollar sold out at Little
ton and moved out to Lunark, Illinois,
in 1868. 1t was there that Ann Catha-
rine, the deceased, married George
Ashton. She and her husband went to
Ames, Iowa, in 1872; thence to Boone,
in 1878: located at Iowa Park, Texas,
in 1896, and have lived at Lincoln,
Neb., since 1896. George Ashton is
a brother of David Ashton, near Mad
densville.
Mrs. Ashton was rare woman
pure in thought, gentle and noble in
nature, made all who knew her, friends,
and kept them friends.
She was born September /, 1851.
