Obituary..


Robert Clinic was born in upper
Canada March 10, 1888, and died at
his home in Laclede Dec. l, 1908
The greater part of his life was spent
in Canada and near Pennington, Iowa
During the civil war he served three
years in Company G, 9TH Iowa Caval'
ry. He was married to Miss Drusilla
Kirby July 3, 1866. Twelve children
were born to this union, of whom sew
en-, two daughters and five sons, to-
gether with his faithful wife, are left
to mourn his loss.
He professed conversion and was
baptized into the Baptist church at
Pennington in 1878, and was ready
to be called home when the summons
came. The latter part of his life was
spent in Laclede, and his many
friends here extend their sympathy to
the bereaved family. The funeral
service was held at the Baptist church
Thursday afternoon, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. G. G. Hatcher, and the
remains were laid to rest in the La
cIede cemetery.

The Passing Of a Landmark.

Joe Albin is tearing down the old
Hewitt building just south of the
railroad track and will erect new
house on the site. This is one Of
Laclede's historic buildings. In the
early history of the town it was a
hotel and was kown as the Missouri
House, and had the reputation Of
being one the best hotels in this part
of the state, but of late years it has
been unoccupied and has for some
time been an eyesore to the people of
Laclede, who will not regret the fact
that it is to be supplanted by a new
building, and that the old landmarks
must get out of the way for the march
of progress. The Budget will please
comment.
