STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS,
Condition of Dee Bean Jr, Unchanged
Mother and Sister Summoned.

The condition of Dee V. Bean Jr.
has changed but little since he suf-
fe red stroke of paralysis last Satur.
d ay. His entire right side and the
vocal chords are affected. His ply
81 cans are undecided yet as 10 his
chances of recovery. Mrs. Bean ard
Miss Bean, mother and sister Of Dee,
W ho were in Milwaukee were notified
by wire Of his condition and are now
enroute home. His brothers, Frank
and Charley, who are now in Arizona,
will start Immediately for Hamilton
should his condition be pronounced
critical.
Dee left Hamilton with the Lord
surveying outfit for Owl creek about
shortly after arrival and after a few
days returned to his fathers sawnill
at Darby. For few days he seemed
to improve but on Saturday afternoon
he collapsed, having suffered stroke
of paralysis. He was Immediately
brought to the family home in this
city where he has lain perfectly help
less ever since, much of the time in a
semi conscious condition, being un-
able to move muscle or speak word.
Paralysis usually results from the
rupture of blood vessel or the for
nation of a clot of blood on the BRAIN.
Young persons are very seldom at
tackled by paralysis.
This is an exceptionally sad case,
Dee being but 20 years of age and
physically one of the most magnificent
specimens of young manhood in the
state. He graduated from the Hamil-
ton High school in June with every
promise of a bright future in store for
him. His friends, who include every
body in the community, are eagerly
hoping for his recovery to perfect
health.

IN NMEMORY OF OUR DEAR MOTHER.
Far away from us is mother,
In that home of bliss and love,
Where she waits to greet her chill
dren
In that heaven of JOY and love.
Yes God saw best to take our mother
from us; sh. had long fought the bat
ties Of life, a. last the conflict ended,
her spirit took it's flight from this
earthly habi,ation to dwell through
ceaseless ages Of eternity with that
God who had been her guide during
long life. She had the spirit of her
Savior, ever patient, loving and kind.
She was the JOY Of her home, the light
of her family, the comforter and
friend of all needy aud distressed.
Now home is dark, SO sad and lonely,
no 10y to us since mothers gone. She
was ever ready with a bright smile
and a cheerful word to greet all who
came to her home. Her words, in
structions and administration will
ever echo in the ears of her boys,
though her spirit has been freed, her
| life lives on; her influence is felt, her
advice cherished. She was devoted
mother and an obedient child of
God.
