Gone To Rest.

Samuel Boyd died at his home in
Colfax, Iowa, May 2, 1908 at 3:l5 in
the afternoon. The deceased was born
in Muskingum county, Ohio, February
1st, 1929. He was IA years, 3 months
and | day old at the time of his death.
He was married to Zilphia Bates in
l849 who still survives him. Twelve
children were born to them, ten boys
and two girls. One boy died in infan-
cy. The children all reside in Jasper
county except one son Mahlon Boyd
who lives in this county. All of the
children and grandchildren were pres
ent at the last sad rites except Mrs.
Mahlon Boyd and Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Johnson and daughter Edna.
Grandpa Boyd was a faithful and
true christian, joining the Methodist
church in 1850. He was class leader
for good many years. He was al
ways ready to lend willing hand and
held many township offices.
He and his family moved from Ohio
the 2lst of August, 1864 and landed in
Green Castle, Iowa the 18th of Sep
TENDER of the same year, making the
trip over land in prairie schooners.
About two years ago this spring they
sold their farm there and moved to
Colfax where they have since resided.
He had been troubled with heart di-
sease for good many years and
about a year ago dropsy set in caus-
ing his death.
The funeral sevices were held at the
M. E. church in Colfax conducted by
Rev. Price, of Mingo. AS he was a
Mason, having belonged to that order
a good many years, the Masons took
charge of the funeral.
He was laid to rest in the McKeever
grave yard. The large assemblage of
friends sdOke of the esteem and re-
spect in which he was held. Another
kind father is laid to rest and those
who are left to mourn his loss will
ever remember with fond memories
his kind words of cheer and will ever
follow the teachings of him who sleeps
in naaca NJ

John Brockway,s Father Dead.

John N. Brockway received word
the other day of his fathers death
which occurred at the National
Soldiers Home at Quincy, ILL.,, on
May 3. Grandfather Brockway was
known to many of our people as he
had visited here several times, though
not for about three years. He is
thought to have been the last survivor
of the famous Graybeard regiment,
the 37th Iowa.
Joseph Brockway was born in Ver-
mont May Is, 1916, being almost 81
years old at his death. He enlisted
Sept. 10, 1862, at Oskaloosa, this state,
in the 37th Iowa, serving until May "a,
1865, when he was mustered out. He
had three sons in the army, Philo j.,
in the Bird Iowa Inf, now of Montana;
George, JOG H., died in the service;
John N, 9th Iowa Cav, now of Au-
dubOn.

Leslie Walker Gets On.

At q meeting of the board of man
ayers of the local base ball associa-
ton held at the Office of President
Whiteside yesterday, Friday after
noon, nine players were selected and
signed up for the season as follows:
Jerrett of Rulo, Neb., Anderson of
Eldon, Iowa, Schooler of Madrid,
Perry and Preston of Woodward,
Iowa, Bales, of Des Moines, Brad
shaw of Truro, Iowa, Walker of Au-
dubOn and Bircher of Atlantic.
One or two more will probably be
signed yet before the season opens,
but as yet the board is not able to de-
eide on just what to do, the salary
limit of the league being too low to
allow much leeway in extra men. The
regular season of the league opens
Tuesday, May 10, but before that time
several good exhibition games are
promised. -Atlantic Telegraph.

To the members of the Woman's

Greetings; please bear in mind that

At this meeting delegates are to be ell

our duty in regard to our missionary
work we shall not be held guiltless.
So come one, come all and in His
name we shall help to send the light.

Crop Bulletin

For week ending May II, 1903.
This has been the most favorable
week of the season for field work.
The average temperature has been
about normal and the rainfall was
generally light during the six work
ing days of the week. Wherever the
soil is dry enough for blowing, prep
arations for corn planting have been
vigorously pushed. A considerable
acreage is in readiness for planting,
and with favorable weather big per-
centage of the corn area will be plant
ed before the Goth. The work of
planting is already we'll begun in all
districts.
The condition of the soil is quite
variable, but on the average it is not
in as good filth as usual in the plant
ing season. Grass and small grain
crops are doing fairly we'll. The
growth of pastures and meadows is
generally in advance of former sea-
sons.
Late reports as to the fruit crop are
much more cheerful in tone than last
week. The damage by frosts and
freezing weather was not nearly so
great as the earlier reports seemed to
indicate. The northern section will
show but slight injury. In the south
and west cherries and plums suffered
greatest damage. The apple crop is
still quite promising.
