Death of Mrs Jacob LaFOy

Bereavement is always heavy and
keenly felt in proportion to the useful
ness of the departed to the community
in which he or she has lived, or the
place held in the affections, esteem
and respect of the bereaved ones.
Sometimes it is the sudden taking
away of one noted for his or her be-
nevolences and neighborly kindness.
Again it may be high esteem and
much loved public instructor in school
and church work, who has earnestly
devoted much time to the training of
the young, mentally, morally and re-
IligiOusly.
Cut when the charmed circle of q
large family is broken by the taking
away of an aged mother leaving be
hind her sons and daughters with in
turn their children, all of whom the
heart strings are SO iptricately inter
woven. One whose home has been a
home to her neighbors and passing
strangers as well, then is the loss more
keenly felt perhaps than under almO st
any other condition or circumstance
Such is the case in the death of Grand
ma LaFoy, as she was Familiarity
known, which occurred on last Thurs
day afternoon, Sept. 10, 1908, at three
O'Clock.
After long illness dating from
about the middle of March this year,
the end came peacefully at the hour
above mentioned.
She came of hardy pioneer stock,
such as usually buffet the waves of
life successfully, and live to aripe age
making her presence felt as she went
through life and many both here as
we'll as at her old home in Iowa, can
and do testify to her good qualities as
a neighbOr and friend.
Mary Elizabeth Kirkpatrick was
born in the state of Indiana, March
Sth, 1899. Here her early childhood
days were spent. While quite young
she came with her parents to Mahaska
county, Iowa, where she lived to the
age of 20, when on Nov. 81, 1859, she
was married to Jacob LaFOy.
To this union eight children were
born all of whom are living and were
present at the funeral, three of chem,
two sons and the daughter, coming
from Iowa and were with her few
days prior to her death.
NeOrSe, Gle Olu6f lives III Gne VIclnI-
ty of Buck Lake, Canada. Mrs. Min.
ME Harris at Coon Rapids, Iowa.
Jacob, at Buck Lake, Charles and
Edward near Audubon, Iowa, Erastus
and Plat, the younger, are living on
Long Creek in Oregon school district.
Besides the sons and daughter and the
husband, she leaves a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn her de-
parture. She came to this community
years ago in accompany with her
husband and children now residing
here. They hOmesteaded the N E OF
sec 36:l0:22 and had just finished their
homestead duties on the last day Of
August, but she was destined to dis
appointment in the hope of occupying
that home. But as she was converted
and laid the foundation for Heaven
ly home over 30 years ago and since
lived an earnest and consistent chris
tian life. The lord has now called her
to the possession and enjoyment of that
home which is far better.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of his saints. Ps. /, II.
Funeral was held at the home on
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and in
terment at Milestone cemetery on
Saturday. ~

COnkIin Was Discharged

d. G. Conklin of Audubon, who runs
a shooting gallery" had peculiar
and unfortunate experience over at
AvOca, while attending the fair. 1t so
happened that while young boy was
driving near the 'galIery' run by Mr..
Conklin, was struck in the face by d
stray shot from somewhere and quite
seriously wounded. Mr.. Conklin was
arrested on q charge of manslaughter
and the case was heard on Friday OF
last week, w. G. Elliott appearing
for the defendant. An examination
of a number of witnesses showed that
the backstop was we'll built, that no
bullets had gone through it, and that
at the time the boy was injured there
was no shooting being done in the
"gallery." Moreover it was clearly
shown that Mr.. COnklin had done no
shooting himself at or about that time,
and beyond that there could have been
no motive whatever for any one that
did any shooting either purpOsely or
negligently TO do injury to the boy.
So Mr.. Conklin was acquitted and
discharged.

Do you ever stop to think, my girl,
how easy it may be for you to make a
great mistake in choosing husband?
You are naturally attracted, it may
be, to young man because he is good
looking and overlook the fact that his
character Is weak You esteem him
because of his SNOWY qualities and
neglect to take into account the quail
ties that endure.

mistake.
The careful young man will not err
in that way. He may be fascinated with
girl because she is pretty or viva

whimsical he does not want that kind
of girl for wife. He is looking for a
womanly girl. one fitted to be a good
wife and mother.
The wise young man may be allured
somewhat by the maiden whose chief
charms are handsome features and fig
ure and fascinating ways, but when he
seriously thinks of marriage he will
choose the girl who will make a good

You cannot afford to turn down that

be, little dull. He appears at Il dis
advantage by the side of the empty
