Death Calls Capt. Vankirk.

GAINESVILLE loses one of its prominent
citizens in the sudden death of Capt. w.
I. Vankirk, who passed away after a
brief illness from pneumonia Sunday
morning last
Captain Vankirk was born in Garlic
ton, Orleans county, New York., Jan. rs,
1843, and his parents were both descen-
dants of old Holland families. He came
to Wisconsin with his parents in 1845,
and settled on farm near Milton in the
town of Harmony, where he attended
the district schools in the winter until
he arrived at the age of thirteen, and
then attended Milton college for two
terms. He came to GAINESVILLE in 1858
and was employed in the provision store
of Q. Ell. Conrad until the winter of 1852
SO, when he embarked in business for
himself, opening small grocery store on
North Main street. Mr. Vankirk was
engaged in the grocery business on
South Main street for thirtytwo years,
until his removal to South River street
where he was conducting grocery bust
ness at the time of his death.
On the 9Th of May, 1868, Mr.. Vankirk
was married to Miss Belle Bostwick. a
native of New York, whose birthplace
was near Batavia. Five children graced
their union, four sons and daughter,
four of whom are still living, Mrs. Fred
j. Tucker, Chicago; William c., James
Vile; DR.. Frank A of Vienna, Austria;
and Joseph A., of Chicago. In politics
Mr.. Vankirk was thorough republican,
and since becoming a voter has cast his
ballot with and labored earnestly for the
success of that party. He had held va
rious public positions of honor and trust.
Mr.. Vankirk was an enterprising, sue
cessful business man; broad and liberal
in his views, respecting public policy,
and could always be relied upon to per-
form whatever he undertook. He be-
longed to the progressive class of citi-
zens, and was always we'll informed on
the leading issues of the day. The sym
pathy of the entire community goes out
to the bereaved wife and family. The
funeral services were held from his late
residence Tuesday afternoon.

The Lords Prayer.

I used to think the Lords Prayer was a short
prayer; but as I live longer, and see more of life,
I begin to believe there is no such thing as get
ting through it. If a man, in praying that prayer,
were to be stopped by every word until he had
thoroughly prayed it, it would take him a life
time. "Our Father"-there would be a wall a
hundred feet high in just these two words to most
men. If they might say, "Our Tyrant," or "Our
Monarch or even "Our Creator" they could get
along with it; but "Our Father"-why, a man is
almost a saint who can pray that. You read,
"Thy will be done; ;" and you say to yourself, "Oh!
I can pray that" and all the time your mind
goes round and round in immense circuits and
far-of distances; but God is continually bring
ing the circuits nearer to you, till He says, GLOW
is it about your temper and your pride? How is
it about your business and your daily life" This
is a revolutionary petition. It would make many
a mans shop and store tumble to the ground to
utter it. Who can stand at the end of the avenue
along which all his pleasant thoughts and wishes
are blossoming like flowers, and send these terri
bic words, "Thy will be DONE" crashing down
through it? I think it is the most fearful prayer
to pray in the world.-Henry Ward Beecher.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-02-23
Ruskin's idea of the Home.

The home is the place of peace; the shelter not
only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt
and division. In so far as it is not this, it is
not home; so far as the ~anxieties of the outer
life penetrate into it, and the inconsistency
minded, unknown, unloved, or hostile society Of
the outer world is allowed by either husband or
wife to cross the threshold, it ceases to be home,
it is then only a part of the outer world which
you have rooted over and lighted fire in. But
so far as it is a sacred place, a vestal temple, a
temple of the hearth watched over by Household
Gods before whose face none may come but those
you can receive with love, so far as it is this,
and roof and fire types only of a nobler shade
and light-shade as of the rock in a weary land
and light as of the Pharos in the stormy sea
so far it vindicates the name and fulflls' the
praise of home. And wherever a true wife goes,
this home is always round her. The stars only
may be over her head; the ~glow-worm in the
night-cold grass may be the only fire at the foot;
but home is yet wherever she is; and for a noble
woman it stretches far around her, better than
ceiled with cedar, or painted with germillion, she'd
ling its quiet light far, for those who else we're
homcless.-Joh ohm Ruskin.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-02-23
