his sisters as a kind and affectionate

The Little Store Around the Cor.
ner to Move.

In the fore part of the year 1889, a
young man just out of school embarked
in the grocery business in the little
frame store building around the corner
on Commercial Street. The proprietor
was Harry j. Vogt, and for fourteen
years he has continued business at the
same place. He named the store ''The
Little Store Around the Corner" and
by strict attention to business he has
built up one of the largest and most
prosperous business houses in Leon.
But the business has been gradually
growing until the present location is
notilarge enough and "The Little Store
Around the Corner" will soon be aban-
doned, Mr.. Vogt having secured five
year lease on the corner room of the
opera block now occupied by Gates &
Keller, whose lease will expire Oct. 9th.
The room is one of the largest in the
city and will be remodeled by the own
er, L. P. Van Werden, so that it will be
one OF the finest grocery rooms in
southern Iowa. Harry J. Vogt is pro-
gressive and popular business man and
his many friends all over the country
will be one of the finest grocery rooms
in southern Iowa and his friends over the
country will be glad to see him secure
such a fine location. He has demonstrat-
ed his ability to build up prosperous
business in a very poor location and
when he is located in fine brick build
ing will certainly enjoy large increase
in trade.

tnr county, Iowa, Dec. "a, 1885, died
July 2G, 1908, being II years, z months
and 2 days of age. He was the eldest
son OF MR. Mrs. Carl S. Eals, and his
whole life until acouple of years ago when
his parents moved to Leon, was spent
on the farm where he was born. He was
an exceptionally bright boy, the pride

OF his devoted mother, for whom he
was always trying to do some favor.
Among his school mates and associates
ne was loved and respected, and by his
older friends admired for the hustline
and industrious habits which he dis.
played. When not in school he was al
ways at work, having clerked in several
stores in this city during vacation, and
did not hesitate to go out in the harvest
field when work was in demand. He
was member Of the JUROR class in the
Leon High School, and expected to
graduate with the class next year. He
was boy who thought great deal of
his family and friends, and his tragic
death bore testimony to the strength of
his friendship, sacrificing his own life
in an attempt to save the life of n
friend. He was baptised in the Presby-
terian church of Garden Grove in his
infancy by Rev. Beer, then it's pastor,
and had lived conscientious christian

always shine as beacon Of light, and a
shining example to others.

DROWNED IN GRAND RIVER
Frank Forbes and Fred EaS Meet Death at WOOdard'S
Dam Last Sunday Afternoon While in Bathing
Entire City Shocked on Hearing the News.
FRED EALS GIVES HIS LIFE FOR FRIEND

funeral of Frank Forbes and Rev. w. H.
1lsley, pastor Of the Presbyterian church
that of Fred Eals. The church was
beautifully decorated with flowers, one
side in yellow and black, the class
colors of the graduating class of 1908 of
the Leon High School, of which Frank
Forbes was a member, and the other
side in yellow and white, the colors of
the junior class, of which Fred Eals was
a member. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity and several hundred
people stood i'm the streets unable to
gain admittance. Every business house
i'm the city was closed during the
funeral, which was tho largest ever
witnessed in this city. The young
ladies OF the two classes dressed in
white marched ahead of the hearses and
the pail bearers were selected from
among the companions of tbe deceased
boys, the pail bearers for Frank Forbes
being Frank Farquhar, Fred Garrett, Ed
Earquhar, Grover Quiett, Fred Marvin
and John Allbaugh, while those for Fred
Eals We're Orr Young, Fred Penniwell
James Alexander, Roy Chambers, Louie
Hurst and Ed kirwin.
The boys were buried side by side in
adjoining lots at the beautiful Leon
cemetery, it being the wish of the par
ents, as they had been close friends dur
ing life, and dying together it was fit
and proper that they should be laid to
their final rest side by side.
There have been many sad funerals in
Leon, but none under such distressing
circumstances. The gloom which news
of the accident caused to settle on the
city dispells but slowly and the terrible
accident is still the chief topic of CON
yersation. The bereaved families have
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in their terrible af1iiction.
