many years has been, clerk of the
federal court at Grand Rapids. He
would, without doubt, have risen to
eminence in his profession, had he
not received this appointment. Baker
was probably known to as many peo-
pie in Van Buren, county as any man
of his time and is remembered for
what he did. Tucker was a peculiar
man, excita BILE and cratic but
lacked a balance wheel. Those who
have seen him while addressing a
jury, coat and vest laid aside, shirt
unbuttoned at the throat, posturing
and gesturing in every awkward
way magma BILE, will never forget
the spectacle. He went to New
Jersey and died insane. Upton
was prosecuting attorney and, like
Tucker, was distinguished for the
ELIGIBILITY of his handwriting. Both
these gentlemen rivaled Horace Gree
ley or Don Henderson of Allegan as
illustrious penmen. Neither of them
could read their own writing after it
had got cold. Chandler, likewise,
has served the people IS prosecut-
ing attorney. Comstock was another
member Of the bar TO wear the honor
able title of Judge, having been APP
pointed JudSe OF the circuit by GOV.
Jno. J. Bagley. He served but few
months and died in the judicial har-
ness. Knowles went west TO grow up
with the country. He was visionary
young man, but is reported to have
struck it rich" and TO have become
immensely wealthy. He resides in
Colorado. Heron removed from Paw
Paw and became newspaper man.
He had served for nearly six years as
county clerk of Van Buren, county.t
Heckert, Tabor and Chandler, like the
poor, we have always with us; they
are the only members of the bar of 50
years ago that still remain in Van
Buren, county.

The Old. Old Home

When | long for sainted memories,
Like angel troops they come,
If ] fold my arms to ponder,
On the CID old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rosebuds from the blast,
When girlhood's brief elysium
In joyousness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
As to some hallowed DOME
Life's pilgrim bends her vision
'Tis the old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly,
By that hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child 'twould roam;
Thus mother counts her treasures,
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn,
Some dear one who was swelling it
Is with the seraphim.)
The fond good nights" at bed time,
How quiet sleep would come,
And found us all together
In the old, old home.
Like a wreath of scented flowers
Close INTERVENE each heart;
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart,
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come,
If fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

The founder of Paw Paw, was born in
Palatine, n. Y. May II, 1901. His father
was a revolutionary soldier and was
wounded in action. Mr.. Gremps came
to Paw Paw in 1885 and purchased land
on section u, Paw Paw township, the
site Of beautiful Paw Paw. In company
with |. w. Willard and a Mr.. Daniels
they built the Paw Paw mills as they
are yet known. To induce settlers to
locote here he gave every possible induce
ment to them, and in some cases built
shops in order to have mechanics engage
in business after locating here He died
March 20, 1874, his entire life having
been spent in this community. During
his activity he was prominent in all that
would advance the interests of his viii
lage, having been the first storekeeper,
first postmaster and part owner of the
first grist mill.

"Uncle Oliver" Warner, as the subject
of this sketch was known to the older
residents of Paw Paw and vicinity, came
to Van Buren, county in 1886, and located
on the farm where he lived until his
death, which occurred in 1879. His home
was the refuge of many who, in the times
that tried mems souls, were sick or other
wise dependent upon the good will OF
their fellow men, and to him and his
good wife many who afterwards became
prosperous citizens, owe debt of graft
tude that can never be repaid. The
magnificent row of naples fronting his
old home was placed there by him as his
tribute towards identifying the land.
scape, and stands as a monument to his
love for his home.

Was born in 1906, at Surrey, n. Y. Came
to Michigan in 1926 and for some time
was in the employ of Lewis Cass as land
locker. He came to Van Buren, in 1888
and entered the land which is now the
site of South Haven and erected the first
house in that village, the ruins of which
were standing a few years ago. The
knowledge he gained in the work of land
looking was wisely used in locating lands
and his children were greatly benefited
by his foresight. As man the judge
was honest and upright in character and
his cordial manner made him friends in
all his various enterprises.

that abound in the early history of any
new country. His peculiar character
isles were accented by his mode of life,
as he was bachelor and with no near
relative His was a lonely life in the
community. To him, however, we owe
many of the improvements that suggest
ed this as the county seat and to his en-
terprise the credit of the location of our
beautiful cemetery belongs. His public
spirit was the means of Paw Paw being
a market town in an early day, and
maintaining her supremacy over her
sister towns. Keen of intellect, sarcas-
tic in speech, with his manners those of
an English country squire, his memory
will be in the minds of all who were at
all acquainted with pioneer life.

Few men who were early settlers in
Van Buren, county were more widely
known than W. r. Hawkins, who came
to Kalamazoo county in 1886 and from
there to Paw Paw in 1916, and entered
into the mercantile business by purchas-
ing the stock and good will of Edwin
Mears. Mr.. Hawkins was a successful
business man, and by strict attention to
business and economy he accum ulated a
fine estate. For many years no pioneer
gathering would consider its program
complete without having him sing 1.-The
Sword of Bunker Hill" Mr. Hawkins
was type of the men who early 10 life
acquired habits of frugalty, and the ex-
travagant ways of living now so preva-
lent had no charm for him.

WELL KNOWN
Methodist Preacher Dies From Inju.
ries Received i'm Tennessee.

The many friends of Rev. Mont
Evans will be grieved to learn of his
sudden and unexpected death which
took place near his home at Sommer-
Vile, Tenn, on Friday. Jan. 20, says
the Mayfeld Messenger. The report
is that he left home on Tuesday morn
ing to go to one Of his appointments
when his horse fell down and so Grip
pied Mr.. Evans that he only lived a
day or so afterwards. He was found
about an hour after his horse fell, II
is supposed, by two negroes who as
sisted in getting him to the home of
his physician, where he died. The
Rev. Evans was well known in Mar
shall, Graves and other western coun-
ties OF the state. He was married
about 25 years ago to Miss Tennie
Fly, daughter of j. V. Fly who sur
wives him with eight children. He
owned house and lot in Clinton and
his son was engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Pryorsburg. The de-
ceased had insurance to the amount
of $4,000 which will leave his fami-
ly in good condition. II is suppos-
ed they will move to Clinton to make
their home. We have known Rev.
d. NJ. Evans for 25 years and have al
ways found him to be a well known
and deyout Christian.
The Rev. ID. NJ. Evans was at one
time pastor of the Third Street
Methodist church of this city and
was very much liked here. His wife.
also, lived here before her marriage,
her father, the Rev. j. V. Fly, being
a local Methodist minister, and lived
at Jackson and Eighth streets. Many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Evans will
regret the above sad news.

There Is now a new theory as to

with his throat cut in a straw stack
near Mayfeld several weeks ago.
An Evansville dispatch says:
Evansville, Ind, Jan. 26.---tSpe-
cial. 1.-THE body OF man supposed
to be John Adams, of this city, was
found with his throat cut few
weeks ago near Mayneld, Ky. The
deepest mystery surrounds the muir.

derer Coroner ID. A. Sanold. OF
Maytield, has just written the local
officials, stating he believes the vic.
tim was John Adams. an insurance
man who disappeared from Evans
Vile a few days before Christmas.
He describes him as being five feet,
seven inches high, and weighing 1923
pounds. He says he had a red mus.
tache and a gold tooth in the lower
Jaw on the left side. and says he feels
reasonably certain that the murder
ed man resided in Evansville. A man
by the name of John Adams was as-
rested here shortly before the holt
days for forging an order on mer-
chant. He was not prosecuted but
was given several hours to get out of
town. Before leaving he told
crowd in a Water street saloon that
