Stout and Martha e. Winkler, Mayor
A. J. Rhoads officiating.
The wedding was very quiet one
and was solemnized at the mayors
home. The contracting parties need
no introduction to Fremont people.
The groom has been in charge of the
Kennel elevator at that point for the
past four years, and is a man worthy
the confidence of all. The bride has
been resident of Fremont for the
past two years and won many friends
by her ladylike and genteel de-
meanor.
Congratulations and we'll wishes
are due these worthy people from
their numerous friends. -Fremont

OBITUARY.
Peter Appel was born March 5,
1887, and died January 81, 1908,
after an Illness of twelve weeks.
He was a man of strong constitu-
ton and vigorous health, but last
spring he received fall and sustain
ed severe injury which resulted in
his long sickness and finally death.
Everything that kindly nursing
and medical skill could do for him
was done. He bore his long illness
with much patience and tortitude
and fell asleep in Jesus surrounded
by his sorrowing family. He was
united in marriage to Margaret Bacon
February 5, 1860. Four children were
born to them-Ira D., Martha E.,
GeorgelB. and Mary M, now Mrs.
John Ashton, Ira died in infancy,
Martha died in May, 1885. ro.Appel
united with the M. E. church in 1854,
during season of revival conducted
by the pastor, James Moore. He has
continued faithful member of the
same. While possessed of a liberal
spirit in regard to the worship of
others, yet he was very loyal to the
church o; his choice, He supplied his
home with the best church literature
OF which he was a constant reader.
He literally supported all the inter-
ests of the church with his means and
influence. His pleasant home has al
ways been a haven of rest to the
weary minister and his family, to the
Sunday school missionary, or to the
Christian worker or preacher of any
denomination, and while his friends
and neighbors always received gra-
cious welcome by him, and his heart
and home were open to the poor, the
oppressed, not even a tramp was re-
fused food and lodging by him. Some
years ago an editor of one of our
county, pspers visited at the home Of
Mr.. Appel, and in his write up the
next week he spoke OF Mr.. Appel as
one OF NATURES noblemen. At the
time we read it, and ever since, we
have thought how well he expressed
it. By nature noblemRn, endowed
with Christian character, mo wonder
he was man among men, respected
and loved by all. We, who have
known Mr.. Appel from childhood,
have never realized that he was grow
ing old. The years have dealt very
gently with him and he has always
kept young heart. He was especial
ly in sympathy with the young people
and ready to help them with advice
and encouragement. In middle life
he was for many successive years
superintendent of the Sunday school.
He wasIwell fitted to fill this Office.
He was always member of the Sun
day school A member of the Masonic
fraternity, he has shown his pro-
gressive spirit by working his way
upward until he became Sir Knight.
He will Ebe sadly missed by the fra
ternity where his influence has been
SO long felt. He loved his family
with deep affection. His kindest
and best words were always for those
ct home. !. The loss of those who were
nearest and dearest to him none can
realize except the All Father.
"Where'er a noble deed is wrought,
Whenever is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts!iniglad surprise,
To higher.levels rise.
Honor toIthose whose words or deeds
Thus help US in our daily needs,
And by their overflow
Raise us from what is low"
