Joseph Brown

was born in Jackson county, Indiana,
February s, 1924, and died May 10, 1906,
aged 81 years, months and days.
He came to Decatur county in 1852
and settled on the farm where he died.
He was married to Hulda Young in
Indiana in 1S40, to this union were born
fourteen children, seven of whom and
his wife preceded him to the better
land. One daughter and six sons sur
vive him, Mrs. Brown having died six
years ago on the same date. The fol-
lowing children are all living here:
Mrs. A. Warrick, ]. L., Joseph, w. H.
H. II. Lewis and Isaac. His six sons
were the pail bearers, an honor few men
have. Mr.. Brown leayes thirty-two
grandchildren, fourteen great-grand-
children and host of friends to mourn
his death. He united with the Baptist
church years ago and was faithful and
honored member until his death. He
was christian, an honest man, kind
husband and father and good neigh
Dor, the best legacy man can leave be-
hind, and the only one he can take to
the mansions beyond the tomb.
Joseph Edwards delivered the funeral
sermon, at his late home, speaking from
John 1926, "Whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth in me shall never die" His re-
mains were laid to rest in the Young
cemetery beside those of his wife.
Death is but a covered way,
The Bible says, that opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray,
Beyond the Fathers sight.

oe-Robinson.

George A. Coe, the we'll known Jew
eler of this city, and Miss Ethel Robin
son, of Rockport, Mo-, who has been
visiting for some time at the home of
her sister, Mrs. II. L. Ainsworth in this
city, thought they were stealing a
march on their friends by stealing away
to Mt. Ayr to get married, Miss Robin
son going over Tuesday and Mr.. Coe
and Mrs. Ainsworth went to that town
Wednesday morning. They were mar
ried there today, and when George
returns to Leon his friends will give
him a merry reception.
The groom is one Of our popular
young businessmen who has resided in
this city for number of years. The
bride during her short residence here
has endeared herself to large numbe,
of warm friends. The friends of these
estimable young people will extend
hearty congratulations and wish then
unbounded happiness and prosperity.

improvements in the First Ward.

A number of Improvements are sug-
gested by prominent citizens in the
south end of the first ward and will
soon be under way. An electric light is
to take the place of an oil lamp on the
common near the residence of Charles
Coffin.
G. NJ. Axes will improve his residence
property with cement sidewalks. He
is setting the right example as city
councilman, and others will catch the
spirit of progression and follow.
Miss Bessie Sullivan, now teaching
her first school, and her sister Kate
Sullivan will soon move into their house
recently purchased and will also make
improvements. 1t is very commendable
for young persons to save their earn
ings by putting it into home, as these
young teachers are doing.
Creditable mention might be made Of
many others in this part of the city, but
we must pay respects to space to avoid
the waste basket ***

A telegram was received Tuesday
morning by Mr.. j. Hoffhines, announc.
ing the death cf his son-in-law, Lambert
Samuel Truesdell, at Eureka Springs,
Ark, where he had been for several
weeks for his health. Mr.. Truesdell
had been in failing health for more than
year, suffering from Bright's disease,
and his death was not unexpected, as it
has been known for some time by his
friends that there was no hope for his
recovery.
The deceased was born at Berlin
Wisconsin, and was fifty years old at
the time of his death. For many years
he was engaged in newspaper work at
at Des Moines and Washington, D. G..
and for the past twelve years had been
advertising manager for Younker Bros.
big department stsre at Des Moines and
was considered one of the best adver-
tising managers in the west.
Speaking of Mr.. Truesdelrs demise
Mr.. Herman Younker in an interview in
the Des Moines Capital said:
"Mr. Truesdell has been with us now
ever since he left newspaper work, over
twelve years ago. He began his adver
tising work with us and took charge OF
it from the start. We regard him as
one of us. He put his heart in the work
He was all enthusiasm, absolutely loyal
to the firm.
Optimistic, he was always friend of
the employees. He was director of
their aid society and was always inter
ested in their betterment.
MIR. Truesdell was valuable man in a
business way. He was thoroughly alert
and capable in the advertising work
always striving for the best If were
to characterize his labor l should say
that there were two strong points il
him-truth and enthusiasm.
We have but just received the news
OF his death. When it shall become
known among the employees there will
be a great sorrow for Mr.. Truesdell was
esteemed and loved by all who knew
him and worked with him. He was a
friend to us and in.his work loyal, re.
liable and eminently capable
Mr.. Truesdell was married to Miss
Amy Hoffhines of this city thirteen
years ago, who survives him and was
with him at Eureka Springs when the
end came. He had frequently visited
in this city and had many friends here
who are panied to hear of his death
His remains were taken to his old home
OF Berlin, Wisconsin, for interment, the
funeral to be held Thursday afternoon

OLDEST RESIDENT DEAD
Mrs. Mary Ann Perigo, Oldest Citi-
zen in Decatur County, Dies at
the AGE of lO3 Years.

Mrs. Mary Ann Perigo, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. S. II. Briley,
in High Point township, on last Satur-
day, at the advanced age of 103 years,
months and one day, and by her death
the family circle of five generations is
broken.
Mrs. Perigo's maiden name was
Peavers, and she was born in GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, Oct. II, 1902. She came from a
family noted for it's longevity, her
father dying at the age of ia years, and
his father lived to the great age of 120
years.
She was married when she was twen-
ty-two years of age to Davis Perigo, and
until his death in 1876 they resided in
the state of Ohio. After the death of
her husband Mrs. Perigo came to Deca-
tur county, Iowa, and made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. S. H. Briley, Of
High Point township. A few months
ago The REPORTER published photo
graph of Mrs. Perigo taken on her Tooth
birthday, showing five generations.
The good old lady was seated in her
favorite rocking chair, and surrounding
her were her daughter, Mrs. S. H. Bri-
ley, her grand daughter, Mrs. Rebecca
Tharp, her great-grand daughter Mrs.
June King, and her infant great-great-
grand daughter. Notwithstanding her
great age, Mrs. Perigo enjoyed unusual
ly good health, and was able to walk
about the house, although for several
years she had been almost totally blind.
The direct cause of her death was blood
poisoning resulting from the scratch of
cat which she was petting.
Her funeral was held from the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Briley, on Sunday
afternoon, interment being in the Trul-
linger cemetery.
Mrs. Perigo enjoyed the distinction
of being the Oldest white person in Iowa,
and there was no question in regard to
her great age, as the family records are
in existence.

second term of court was not held p
miles southwest of Decatur City, but
some three miles southeast of Decatur,
and the grand jurors were in session
only one day and had no business to do
at the second term of court. But the
third term was held in the same place
in 1852 and was in session several days,
but was not at that court, and l am
satisfied that Mr.. Cash is mistaken
about the second term, as was one of
the grand jurors at the second term in
1851, and we were in session only one
day, and there was not any business
done that day, and we were dismissed.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
His Foot Caught in a Rope W. F
MCCampbeII is Dragged by a
Span of Runaway Mules.

w. F. McCampbell, who is employed
at Bowsher & Bowsher's big store in
this city, had narrow escape from
death last Sunday, and is laid up for a
few days recovering from severe bruises
as the result of being dragged for
quarter of mile over rough ground by
a couple Of frightened mules, his foot
being caught in rope by which the
mules were tied together. Mr.. Nc
Campbell, in company with his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Bowsher and James
r. Bowsher drove out to the Middle
brook farm about six miles northeast of
Leon Sunday morning to take couple
of young mules owned by Bowshers
to the pasture which they have rented
on the Middlebrook farm. The mules
were tied together by long rope by
which they were lead, and when they
reached the farm McCampbell and Jim
Bowsher got out to turn the mules in.
Jim Bowsher had hold of the rope and
McCampbell started to walk up to one
OF the mules when it jumped and the
rope lying on the ground caught his
foot, and away went mules and men.
Jim Bowsher held on to the rope for
some time, his hands being badly cut,
but they finally tore his hands lose and
then continued to run dragging Nc
Campbell, who was helpless, but he
managed to get hold of the rope with one
hand, and thus kept his head from strik-
ing the ground, but could not get his
foot loose. He managed to get out his
pocket knife but just as he was about
to cut the rope, he dropped his knife.
The mules ran for fully a quarter of a
mile, and when they stopped nearly all
of Mr.. McCampbells clothes were torn
from his body and his back and hips
were bruised and scratched in fright
full manner, but fortunately no bones
were broken and he will be all right
again in few days, and is congratulate
ing himself over his escape from death.
1t certainly was thrilling experience
and one which none of the party care to
witness again.

a Business Change.

A change has occurred in one of
Icons leading business houses, Mr.. W.
A. Boone having purchased the interest
of Mr.. j. w. Wasson in the furniture
and undertaking business of J. W. Was
son & Co., the new firm being known as
Wasson & Boone, Mr.. Marion Wasson
retaining his interest and will have
charge especially of the undertaking
department, which he is we'll fitted for
having recently taken special course
in embalming and undertaking and holds
first-class certificate as an undertaken.
Mr.. w. A. Boone, the new member of
the firm, is no stranger to the people of
Decatur county, for he has been closely
allied with the business interests of this
city for many years, and until about a
year ago was cashier of the Exchange
National Bank, of this city. He is
popular and the new firm, being pos
sessed of ample capital, will carry one
of the largest stocks of furniture and
undertaking goods to be found in south
ern Iowa.
Mr.. J. W. Wasson who retired from
the business does so on account OF
having various other business interests
which require his attention and on ac-
count of not liking the confinement OF
the store. He has invested considera-
BILE money in Texas real estate the past
year, and expects to spend considerable
time in that state the next few months
looking after his property.
