An Oyster Supper.

That was given at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ward of South
Bend Saturday night was grand
success. Over so guests were present
and spent the evening IN numerous
games and amusements. Miss Alice
Hartman gave some fine selections on
the piano that was greatly enjoyed by
all. At 1880 there was a fine oyster
supper served, also all kinds of re-
freshments and fruits that all did
Justice to. There was to be a tafy
pulling also, but it was too much for
one night, and it was postponed until
some other time. When it comes to
entertaining, Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
know how to do it. At 8 o'clock we
all left for our homes. And it was the
wish of all that Mr.. and Mrs. Ware
will live to give many more such en-
joyable evenings.

IRIS. Sarah Wood, whose

Mrs. Sarah Wood, whose death
was announced by US in Mondays
daily, has been resident of Barton
county for many years. She came to
the county with her husband and
family in 1873, and has since made
this her home. She was nearly 81
years of age, having been born in
Philadelphia in 1924. In 1916 she was
married to Adam Wood, who departed
this life Christmas day 1902. Since
coming to Kansas they had resided
on the Walnut few miles from the
city, and there with other pioneers
they strove to make our community
what it is today. They took the same
chances that other Kansas settlers
took, and were successful. She left
surviving her three sons, Frank, Os.
and John, and two daughters, Mrs. E.
w. Moses and Mrs. w. S. Hill. Four
other children had preceded her to
the other shore.
Grandma Wood was a kind and
patient mother, and dutiful wife,
and lived christian life. She had
many friends who mourn her depar-
ture, and although she lived to good
age, her friends and her children will
miss her, and pray for her happiness
in the hereafter. We unite with the
many frie.lds of the relatives in ex-
tending our sympathy. The funeral
was held at $3.50, Monday afternoon,
from the residence of Mayor Moses.
