PASSING AWAY OF
SAMUEL BOLES

The funeral of Samuel Boles, a
veteran of the Civil war and for forty.
eight years citizen of Grand Rapids,
or Centralia, as it was known in his
time, was held Saturday morning.
The funeral service was held in the
Catholic church, with Father Hugen.
roth in the pulpit.
! Samuel BOles was Seventy-five years
old, having been born September I,
1929, in Loughbrickland, County
Down, Ireland. When he was twenty
five years old he moved with his
parents to America, locating in south
eastern Wisconsin, near Kenosha. 1t
was here he met Miss Sarah Blaney,
who. became bis wife in 1885, In the
same year he moved to .Centraiia, to
the farm which he owned at his
death. Here it was that seven child
rem were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Boles,
all of whom are living. They are:
w. H. Boles, Wausau, Wis.,; John j,
Boles, Kellner, Wis.,; Mrs. w. H.
Carey, Hugh Boles and c. E. Boles,
all of this city; A. F. Boles, Nekoosa;
and Lawrence Boles, Marcel.s, Illinois.
Eleven years ago Mrs. Boles died.
The final illness of Mr.. Boles began
April and ended with bis death at
his home on May 4.
His family consisted of seven child
rem, five boys and two girls who all
lived to ripe old age. The first
death occurring about three years
ago, when his brother John. died at
the age of II, followed a year later by
a sister aged about IL. He is the
only member of his family who came
to this country. All of his brothers
and sisters continued to live at the old
home near Newry, Ireland.
Samuel Boles served with distinction
In the Civil war, and was a member of
the Grand Army of the Republic.
The Grand Rapids Post of the G. A.
r. turned out in force in memory of
their comrade, and accompanied his
remains to their last call of TAPS" in
Calvary cemetery.
Mr.. BOles was too we'll known in
Grand Rapids to need any words of
commendation further than the just
mention of his high sense of honor,
and his genial spirit of good fellow
ship. 1t was his boast that he had
attended every funeral held in the
vicinity in years, since each was held
over friend of his. In return a
great number of his friends attended
the last rites held for him, and the
funeral cortege was the longest seen
here in years.

FISH STORY

Six fish. countless miles of walking,
and a liberal ration of roasting
constituted the SpoilS OF the chase as
secured Friday by George Rowland
and Sam Miller.
Early in the morning they drove to
Seven Mile Creek on fishing expedi-
tion. They unhitched their horse
from the buggy and tied him to a
tree. When ready TO return home,
no horse was to be found. The after
noon was spent in search of the
missing animal, without result, and
it was not till the next morning that
the horse was found Oh the road near
the fishing ground.
The boys declare that hawser will
be taken along on the next trip to
moor the horse. The six fish secured
are considered very valuable.

ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

A writer has we'll said the knOcker
is built on a different plan altogether.
The kicker sees objections to certain
things and offers some idea of i'm
provement, but the knocker just sits
and growls about everything but
never has an idea to offer that would
better the conditlon!s He growls at
the churches, jaws about the schools,
finds fault with the actions of society,
snarls about secret societies, howls at
the city dads, denounces congress
because it is too slow and gives it a
double dose if it does something, frets
about what the state legislature does
and then some more about what it
does not do, hits the railroads, pounds
the government and goes into spasms
over the way the world was built,
when the probability is he couldn't
build hencoop and run it properly
himself to say nothing about the
weightier matters. He is cynical,
narrow, unappreciative.- If the good
Lord lad combined the milk weed
and strawberry plant SO as to have
had grown strawberries and cream Of
the same plant this knocker would
have stood and made "a 'sholler''
because there was pot grlst mill and
bakery attachment to it SO that he
could gather ready made short cakes.
In fact he can see no good in anything
and woulden't know what was good il
he saw it in his own door-yard on a
WheelbarrOW.
The knocker is o. g.. and how he
ever happened is one OF the mysteries.
No community is ever made any
wiser, better, happier or noblier fol
his existence, for he always sees the
bad and never the good.
