/ Laying all jokes aside, what excuse
has an old bachelor for living! Posi-
bly, the better one is that he can't help
1t or that 1t is no fault of his that he
Is or that he continues 70 exist These
observations are made from the old
maid point of view, which seems to
be the point from which the old bach
elor is viewed There are other view
points from which he appears to better
advantage, particularly at first glance,
but when the halo of sentiment which
he has gathered around him has been
blown away even these points do not
offer enhancing views. The fact re-
mains, however. that he still exists and
still has natural force enough TO de-
yelop a halo of sentiment that is more
or less attractive to the opposite sex,
II not really magnetic. and strong
enough to Draw attention TO him, and
respectful attention too. The bachelor
ought to know why he is as he is ana
no doubt lie does, but for some reason
or other lie has not been entirely sue
cessful in satisfying tie public that bis
reasons are good and sufficient 1t IS
up TO him, therefore, to set public opin-
ion right concerning himself. - Fltts-

Edward r. Williams died at his
home in the town of Mifflin, Iowa
county, Wis, April 9th 1904, in his
Goth year of age.
He was born Oct. 10, 1899. at
Llanechyd, North Wales. With his
parents aud sister Ann, comprising
the entire family, he emigrated to
America in 1916, and they settled at
Pecatonica, now in the town of Milf
fin, Iowa CO., state of Wisconsin,
then territory. Here, at their home,
the father Edward Williams died
April Bird, 1851, and was buried in the
old Welsh cemetery. BY his side was
laid Margaret, his wife, who died
May End, 1868.
Edward E. Williams was united in
marriage on April 10th, 1861, to Jane
Elizabeth, daughter of john w. and
Elizabeth Thomas. She was born at
Minersville, Pa, June 25th, 1912
They settled in the old home occu-
pied by his father and mother, where
they continued to live without re-
moval, excepting from the old house
into the new. The fruits of their
marriage were nine sons and two
daughters, all of whom are living ex-
cepting two sons, twins, who died in
infancy. Three sons, Edward w.
William E., and Robert W., reside in
the town of Mifflin; two, John #.
and Daniel H. in Chicago, and one,
Richard J. resides in Belmont, La
Fayette Co. One daughter, Nj argaret
j., is now the wife of Rev. r. Evans,
of San Francisco, Cal. The remain
ing children, Henry H. and Elizabeth
E., are at home with their mother.
All of the children are now at the
old home, to participate in the last
and sad rites of the father, who died,
as we might all wish to die, at home,
with near and dear relatives about
him.
Edward E. Williams enlisted in
the military service of the u. s.
with Co. f. Both Wisconsin Volun-
teers, in August, 1862, and was pro-
NOTED to the rank of Corporal. He
was a brave and efficient soldier,
loved and respected by his comrades.
II served in the army years and 2
months, and was mustered out with
his regiment at the close Of the war.
A man of few words and discreet
conversation, he was held in high
esteem with neighbors, as has been
frequently attested by his having
been elected to offices of honor and
trust among them. Edward +. Will
liams lived among us for more than
fifty years, the noble husband and
father, the wise conselor, the faithful
friend tile patriot soldier. the true
philanthropist. No truer words can
portray the character Of the friend
who has gone from our midst, than
those Of Tennyson in his ode on the
death of the Duke of Wellington:
20, iron nerve, 30 true occasion true,
O, fall'n at length. that tower of strength
Which stood four square 10 all the winds that
blew"
