to them were born two children
Thos. G. and Opal NJ Both survive.
The wife and mother died in 1888,
and five years later Mr.. Shipley
contaminated his second marriage,
to Mrs. Nancy Gibbons, who sur
wives. His illness was of six weeks
duration and the wife and children
were with him at the close of the
useful life he had spent. In addi-
ton to those mentioned two step
children, five sisters and an aged
mother mourn his demise. On the
latter perhaps the loss falls most
heavily. Bending under the weight

he purchased home at Ogden, ex-
pecting to retire from active duty
and enjoy restful life, but alas,
how often it thus occurs. Just
when we are ready to enjoy the
completeness of this transitory ex-
istence we are called to the life
beyond.
Iowa papers speak highly of Mr..
Shipley's citizenship and his de-
votedness to family ties. The re-
mains were conveyed to his late
home where the last sad rites were
conducted.

Miss Nicolls gave her German
class, several weeks ago, a poem
entitled 'Scheiden," to memorize.
The class remained after school
Monday night to learn "Scheiden."
Freshman rehearsals were re-
sumed Tuesday. 1t is probable
that some selections will have to
