Obituary

Daisy Huff, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson Huff, was born Septem-
Der 10, 1900, and died December 2,
1904.
She had been playing in a room
when she rushed in the doorway
screaming. Her mother, who was
in the kitchen, ran to her but her
clothes were all a blaze and before
the fire could be put out she was
so badly burned that she could not
recover. 1t was about three o'clock
and her father was away from home
and did not arrive for a while. She
lived to tell him that she had gotten
a match from the match box and
lit it on the stove and that her dress
caught on fire.
She recognized those who came
in and was as patient as could be.
Her last words were, Lets lie down
and sleep, papa" She passed away
about half past eleven o'clock,
seemingly asleep.
The funeral services were con-

Obituary

Christine M. Genett.Griffin was
born in Philadelphia Pa. Feb II.
1923. She came of French paren-
tage, and her father was in the Rev
dictionary war. She was married
in 1856 and two children came to
her home. Her son, Wallace lived
in Illinois and daughter, Mrs. Isa-
bell Gearheart, who died some
years ago. She came west in 1860
and has been a resident of Iowa for
80 years.
The deceased is one of the old res
idents of the town. She came here
when it was but a frontier village
with all its wild attendants, and
lived to see peace reign where once
was wild lawlessness. She haslong
been a character to all our people
but one, honored and respected.
She had a brilliant mind but few
ever got close enough into her in
ner life to find il, out. She was a
great reader aud a scholar. She liv-
ed her quiet life within her own
self, giving gladness here, and geu-
eroeity there. She would have been
the delight of Dickens, had he liv-
ed, for her originality was all of a
generation past.
But she ever had kind words for
those who deserved it and also a
sharp one for those who needed
them. She was buried from the
home of her grand son, Victor
Gearheart, and the funeral services
were conducted last Thursday, by
Elder G. E. Nichols.

ceremony at Bear Grove the same

returning to Oskaloosa on Tuesday
of this week. The bride is we'll
known and highly respected here.
The groom is a stranger with us,
but won the respect of those who
met him by his quiet gentlemanly
bearing. He is a railroad conduct
or running from Oskaloosa to Peo-
ria, III. They will reside in Oska-
loosa. We extend congratulations
to this happy young couple. A
party of young people serenaded
them on last Saturday evening,
with the sweet (:l music of rub a
dub dub on tin pans and by vari-
ous other captivating sounds; be.
ing invited in, they spent a pleas
ant evening, presenting the newly
married couple with silver knives,
forks and spoons. The bride was
the recipient of a number of useful
and beautiful presents from vari-
Gus friends. And so our Lucy Lee

happiness ever shine brightly with.

Iron banks at Fred Alexander's.

While in Audubon Wednesday
we dropped into the court room

the plaintiff, as it is now nearly two
years since the fire, and adjust

what we know of Mr.. Powell they
will have a hard time to wear him
out. They took his money and GER

opinion of those who heard the
case Wednesday and that the COM
pany would have to do it in the
end, if Mr.. Powell continues the
fight, which we believe he will.

She has gone, our loved ones left us
Broken hearted here to weep
And the days they seem so dreary
Since our darling fell asleep.
She has left us, oh! so lonely,
Left us here alone to sigh;
She is dwelling with the angels,
There We'll meet her bye and bye.
Friends will miss thee, darling Daisy,
For thou vert a loving child;
But the Savior has received thee
In his loving arms so mild.
Darling Daisy, how we miss thee,
Miss thee from loving care;
Hank was that our loved one whispered
Father, mother, meet me there
Yes, We'll miss thee, darling sister,
When we see thy empty chair;
Was not that our sister calling
Dear brother, meet me there.
Meet me where there is no parting,
All is peace and JOY and love;
Ill be waiting there to greet you
At pearly gates above.

N. p. Christensen expects to go to
Adair county next Monday to begin
the erection of buildings on the
large 1920 acre tract of land he re.
Gently purchased over there. Re-
cent Developments, even since he
purchased the tract, shows that the
future of the land is even better
than he anticipated. The electric
line from Creston to Des Moines
goes across one corner of the tract
and there seems to be a possibility
of a station being established there.
He expects to divide it up into II
farms and put buildings on them
ready to rent or sell by March L,
1904. He believes he has a good
thing in this land, as land is selling
at $75 per acre and this ought to
come near that mark.
