Obituary.

lie dCCiuOnO OOIuAL Co .sAOL-
day, July 81, resulting in the death of
our esteemed friend and fellowcitizen.
Luther Garland, will long be remem-
bered by his many friends and ac-
quaintances, for it removed from our
midst one who was held dear in the
hearts of those who knew him.
His character was built upon those
lasting qualities of kindness to others,
sense of justice, charitableness, and
sympathy.
AS much as it grieves us to think of
his sudden departure from this lie,
our grief is somewhat allayed by the
thought that some day we will meet
him again i'm that great beyond where
angels know no parting.
''There is no death! an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our pest loved things away,
And then we call them dead"
He was born in Perry county, Penn
sylvania, September 1, 1860, and died
at his home in the southwest part of
Trego county, at o'clock p. M, Mon
dav, July 81, 1902, having lived Al
ears, ~ lIlOlIUuS, duo ~ odyS.
When 26 years of age, he left his
home in Pennsylvania, and came
West to seek his fortune. He came
to Kansas in the fall of 1886, locating
on homestead in the southwest part
of this county.
Having had the advantage of good
common school education, he began
teaching in the schools of our county.
Many of Trego's teachers will remem-
Der when he mingled with them in
the class rooms at the Normal. He
became one of our most progressive
and active teachers. After having
successfully taught for five years,
holding at the end of this time, sec
Ond grade certificate, he took up farm
ing.
BY perseverance, application and
economy, he built up model farm,
besides having a pleasant and COM
Portable home.
In 1895 he married Miss Frances
Fulton, daughter of John r. Fulton,
formerly of Pennsylvania.
His home life was peaceful and hap
py and his friends were always sure of
hearty welcome when they came to
visit him and his wife at their home
He was teacher of the Bible class at
the Bethel Sunday school.
By his decease, a wife, parents, and
two brothers, John K. and ID. Frank
Garland are left to mourn his untime-
ly death. Our hearts go out in SYM
pathy for his wife in her sad bereave-
ment.
The remains of her husband were
taken to Ransom, Tuesday afternoon,
where short funeral was preached
by Rev. Funk assisted by Rev.
Fleisher.
The pall-bearers. ]. f. Hazen, Andy
Gullett, Ernest Jesse, Henry Schaefer,
Frank Curtis and AL. Swisher convey
ed the body to the depot, where it
was taken charge of by Mrs. Garland,
who left for Perry county, PennsYlva-
mia, to have him buried at his old
home. She was accompanied by j. Nj.

wind No damage done except by
hail. Some farmers just over in Cove
county lost their entire crop.
Sunday morning the blackberry was
the highest except once that it was
ever known to be owing to heavy rain
that fell Saturday night. All fences
that crossed the creek were washed
out.
Miss Keptka with her carpenters
built a new house on her claim last
week, and as they forgot to take their
boat with them they were obliged to
stay until the water went down be-
fore they could cross the creek on
their return to Collyer.
