In MemOriam,

The township of Ashley, and Incl
dentally western Stearns, has met
with a severe loss in the death of
Henry Homm, one of the oldest of our
old settlers He was born at Lyons,
N. Y, on November Is, 1927, and mar
riel Henrietta Parker at Concord,
Wis, on March 10, 1853. In 1852 he
removed to Rochester, MINI, and
five years later he settled on his farm
in Ashley, upon which he died of
paralysis on February g. OF the seven
children born to them five survive:
Mrs. King of Arlington, VIM. Homm
of Long Prairie, Mrs. Doyle of Eagle,
Bend, Mrs. Lawrence and Charles
Homm of West Union. -
The deceased was man of marked
peculiarities-a true frieSd and an en-
ergetic man in every relation of life.
He was the soul of honor, man who
spurned dishonorable act, and it was
a feature of his life that he considered
his word as good as hts bond. He was
valuable citizen, agood neighbor and
a charitable man. Naught but good
follows his memory. A cordial SYM
pathy is extended to his bereaved
friends;
