DEATH Of A NOBLE WOMAN
MRS. SARAH E. VAUGHAN PASSED AWAY
Saturday Afternoon at 8 0'cIock-She Was
One Of Grand Rapids Oldest Settlers
Funeral Tuesday Afternoon.

Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Vaughan,
mother of B. NJ. Vaughan, died at her
sons home: Riverdale, January 24,
1908
Mrs. Vaughan, whose maiden name
was Sarah Elizabeth Blake, was born
in EliZabet town. Essex county, n
Y. March %, 1889. At the aye of
sixteen years, she came with her
fathers family to Byron, Fond du Lac
county, Wisconsin. Here she became
acquainted with, and married, John
Wesley Vaughan. Here too she
united with the Wesleyan Methodist
church that branch Of the grand old
Methodist church. whose controlling
principle was the abolition of negro
slavery. Her husbands father, Rev
Daniel G. Vaughan, was a minister of
that faith. Her husband enlisted in
the union army, and there died. in
the service of his country.
Prior to her marriage, Mrs.
Waugh han taught school, for nearly
five years. After her husband S
enlistment size again taught. Nearly
thirty years. in all, she taught--twenty
thirteen of which were in the public
SCuOOIS III vi duu nap
Born in those Weakening days, before
the civil war, when the great soul of
the north was beginning to fire with
indignation at the wrongs of the slave,
aud growing to wOmanhOOd during
those years when principle was placed
even above life, and losing, in that
bitter struggle between right and
wrong, the one to her most dear of all
on earth, it is not strange that
sincerity and hate Of all falSenesS were
predominant elements in her
character. TIC her,
Life was real, life was earnest
And the grave was not it's goal
Honesty, sincerity, truthfulness
and justice were impressed by her
precepL and example on all of her
pupils; S;-wrOught into their young
lives, until those virtues became part
of their being.
Since 1888 she has lived with her son
in this city. During that time, until
they died, she cared for her father and
mother.
OF her it may be truly said
''She lived for Others"
In 1899, Mrs. Vaughan was very sick,
but recovered. On October Is, 1902,
she was stricken with paralysis, and
although she regained the use of her
paralyZed members, she never
recovered from the nervous shock that
followed the paralytic stroke. Her
fuDeral took place from her sons
residence January q, at 2 O'Clock p.
M.
A true, unseltish life has ended here;
but the noble example that she set,
will pass down the ages; and genera
tionS yet unborn will be better, truer,
nObler because she lived.
Verify such lives as hers are
immortal here, as truly as are such
souls immortal hereafter.

Don't Buck.

If your neighbOr is prosperous, let
him prosper. Don't growl grunt or
grumble. Say good word for him
and let him go at that. Don't be a
kicker Your turn will come. No
one is a whole show. If you see the
town is moving along rapidly, feel
good about it. Help things along.
Show little push. Try to get some
of the benefit yourself. Don't stand
around like a chilly cadayer and waste
your time feeling sore because some
fellow has more sense and success than
YOU have DO a little huStling your
self and il you can say good word
for your town or its people, say it like
a prince. If you are full of bile and
disposed to say something mean, put
a paddock on your mouth and keep it
there till you can get a hypodermic
injection of the milk of human kind
ness. Don't be a kicker. No man
ever made Il dollar kicking but a
professional football player. No man
ever got rich minding everybOdy'S
business but his own. No man ever
helped himself up permanently by
kicking his neighbOr down. Give
others kindly word and give it
literally and gracefully. 1t won't
cost you penny. and remember you
may want good word yourself some
day. You may have thousands today
and tomorrow be without the price of
a shave Don't be a kicker 1t
doesn't pay. You can't afford it,
There is nothing in it. If you want
to throw something at somebody,
throw cologne, and don't throw mud
or brickbatS. If you must kick, go
out behind the house and kick your
self, for if you feel that way you are
the man that needs kicking. What
ever you do, don't allow yourself to
become chronic kicker. Don't even
have an acute attack. Let everybody
push together, and Wen all be better
and happier and live longer. Don't
be a kicker.-Elizabethtown, KY,

LOST CHILDREN ARE FOUND
MRS. GEORGE TYLER LOCATES THEM HERE
They We're Taken From Her by the Father al
Adrian, Michigan. and Brought to This
City for Safe Keeping

Mrs. George Tyler of Adrian, Michi-
gan, arrived here Tuesday in search
of her three children who had been
Secreeted away from her by her
husband with whom she had had some
trouble about week ago. They were
taken from their home to Chicago,
and from there brought to Granu
Rapids where they were being boarded
at the home of Mrs. Fred Alexander
on the order of &. III. Tyler. The
Oldest child was about eight years old
aud the youngest three years. With
the assistance of the Chief of Police
and an attorney she secured her
children and the meeting OF tue
mother and her loved ones, is reported
very pathetic by those who witnessed
it. She left on an afternoon train for
her home in Adrian, Michigan, with
her three children, very happy over
her success. The parent love is only
known TO those who have children,
and all such can understand what
Mrs. Tyler suffered until such time
as she located her children and found
them well and happy again in her
possession.
Mrs. Tyler in an interview said.
"My husband and | had quarrel
over some minor matter He brought
matters to crisis by threatening to
take our children from the house. /
thought nothing further of the matter,
at the time, as | believed he was
merely joking. = few hours later [
missed the children and upon investi-
cation found that my husband had
left with them for Chicago. [ inn
mediately packed my satchel and
went to that city. There l searched
several days but by the aid Of friends
traced them to Grand Rapids.
/ had suspected that my husband
intended to go to this city after leav-
ing Chicago, as his grandfather, G. III.
Tyler, has lived here several years
having been in the employ Of B. NJ
Vaughan at the Riverdale Farm. [
cannot express in words my great JOY
in finding my beloved children. | in
tend to do all in my power to prevent
their being again kidnapped by the
father or grandfather.

1t is true that we obtained an

don't require all the room we shall
lease that part of it which we can
spare for some suitable business
adapted to the place. We have
never thought of using any part of
this building for the post-Office and
the rum0r, if there is any such. that
we intend moving the post-ot1ice
therein is false and wholly without
foundation. TO move the post-otfice
requires permission from Uncle Sam
and usually his consent is never given
unless there is excellent reason and a
gilt edged cause for so doing. We.
personally, do not believe that said
location would be central enough for
said office and would not favor moving
it from its present location unless
there was excellent reason for it,

Wisconsin river at this point is Sgreatly
in need of repair. On Saturday last,
the heavy traffic of hauling saw logs,
large loads of rock, cord wood and
other heavy material, tested it's

upon it when two loauS of rock, two
loads Of saw logs and d wood saving
machine were upon it all at the same
time and the vibration up and down
and sideWiSe due to this weight was
very perceptible and interfered with

At thirty-flve he had money and
honors but lost them. For twenty
years he lived very simple and wan.
dering or inactive life. During the
last five years he has been picking up
and now has $4,000 with good posi-.
ton and an income of several thou.
sand year. A few days ago called
upon him. He has an unusually com.
Portable Office. He had been reading
how successful men eat and he told
me that they were reported to eat
anything they came across, not paying
any attention to their stomach. but all
OF them were busy at some kind of
work.
HIS observation had been that when
man stopped work he soon went to
pieces; that systematic thought and
exercise were necessary for continued
health.
A mechanic, who has a little shop
he has run for many years, is some.
times tempted to close 1t because 1t
pays him so little. My advice to him
has always been that he could afford
to run 1t for his health. Were he to
stop his work he would lose his diges-
tive power and then his energy. He
cannot do the heavy work he did
thirty years ago. but at sixty-seven he
is in better health than he was at
iorty-five.
| have often thought OF the story of
the butcher who had made sufficient
money upon which to retire. He sold
his shop and soon became miserable.
His wife missed him day by day and
became suspicious. Upon investiga-
ton she discovered that he was work.
ing for another butcher ina nearby
town.
