June 10, 1905, in the ffty-second

with four sons, two of whom died.

ing husband and two sons, an aged
mother, residing in Beetown, and
four sisters-Mrs. Tucer Hammond

Mrs. Shine, of Waterloo, and Miss
Stella Elton. of Beetown.
Mrs. Winner was Christian
woman, having united with the M.
E. church some years ago, and she
lived her religion in her daily life,
doing her duty as she saw it, under
the guidance and influence of the
Kindly Light, which never fails.
The funeral services for Mrs.
Winner were held IN the M. E.
church, in Beetown, Rev. J. A.
Jamison preaching the sermon. In
terment occurred in the Beetown
cemetery. Here may the dutiful
daughter, loving wife and fond
mother find repose and release from
the cares and ills of life, which, at
the longest, is very brief.
DR.. Lewis last week took Daniel
Adams to Dubuque, where he had

recover.

investigated at Lake City, Iowa,
which concerns a former West
Grant family. Cyrus Pratt, a son
of George Pratt, died, and at the
fauneral the sheriff arrested his
wife and hired man, named Kersing,
charging them with the crime of
poisoning him. The circumstances
as reported by the papers out that
way look bad for the accused. In
an early day the Pratt family lived
on the Grit. Hickok farm, now
owned by Mat. lErtz, south of!
Bloomington. Mrs. Hickok is a
sister of the Pratt brothers-an
aunt of the deceased. The family is
well remembered by the older resi-
dents.
