IS years. +.

From here, as a child, she went with
her parents to Columbus, Ind, where
she spent all the early part of her life.
At the age of Is she gave her heart to

she has not been a prominent church
member, her christian zeal and exam

In 1859, she was united in marriage to
Oddly Traux, and came to Minnesota
in 1868, spending a few years near
Snaxopee, then removing to the vicin-
ity of Sank Center, where she has
since resided. Three little children
met her when she crossed DER the dark
River of Death, and her husband,
three sons, John, George and Alfred
with many other relatives and ,nnum-
cradle friends are left to mourn her
loss. The community in which she
lived has suffered severe shock. She
was "Aunt Libbie" to ala genuine

DROWNED.
Erick l.. Hedin'S body Found
i'm the Lake on WedneS-
day Afternoon,
He Was Last Seen About
Eight O'clock on Mon
day Evening.

The unaccountable disappearance OF
Erick l.. Hedin, the well-known boot
and shoe merchant of this city, en-
crossed the attention of our citizens on
Wednesday. The last seen OF him was
on Monday evening about eight o.
clock when he started for home. He
went west on Third-st. and turned
north on Oak, toward his residence.
1t transpired on Wednesday afternoon
that little later John MCGUIRE saw
him in the city park. Upon hearing
this w. S. Dean went down to the park
on:Wednesday afternoon, and rearing
the worst, walked along the shore west
of the pump house, peering into the
water. When about $50 feet from the
pump house he found a hat on the
shore, which he brought up town, ana
it was identified as that OF Mr.. Hedln.
Several citizens at once commenced =
systematic search, and boats were
brought into service, and grapnels
used in dragging the lake. N. F. Mel
son, who was in boat with the PARK
commissioner and others, deserted
something white at the bottom OF the
lake, in about eight feet OF water, and
the arapnel was used, with the re-
suit of bringing the body Of Mr.. He
din to the surface. The remains were
teuderlv lifted from the water and con-
waved to the undertaking establish
ment of Peart, Stone & Co., where they
were made ready for burial. Cororer
Pinaul was notified, but there was
no occasion for an inquest.
The theory, which is doubtless cor
rect. 10 that Mr.. Hedin wandered aim
lessly toward the lake, and where the
hat was found the slope is quite pre-
cipitate, and he gained an impetus
which carried him beyond his depth.
Deceased was 81 years OF age, had
been actively engaged for about twen-
tv wears in the boot and shoe trade
in this city, and did d prosperous bus
mess. He owned handsome house
the store on Main-st. in which he CON-
Quoted his business, and other prop
erty. He leaves a widow and nve
chlldren-four sons and a daughter
the eldest Edward, who is with Fred
Miller of Long Prairie. He CAME
down on Tuesday morning, and on
Wednesday went to Alexandra, think
ing perhaps his father had gone there
where he has a number Of relatives.
While the worst was feared by his
friends, yet the announcement OF his
tragic death was severe shocS to this
community in which he was highly re-
snected. he was an excellent citizen,
very intelligent, honorable in all his
dealings. The funeral will be held
