Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1908-08-19

OF all the examples of juggled
journalism we have ever beheld,
nothing compares to the letters writ
ten from Des Moines to the Cedar
Rapids Gazette and one or two other
papers of the state. If the fellow
tells the truth it is the exception.
Such bold, open falsifying as has been
seen in these letters the past few
months has never before come under
our observation in newspaperdom.

nurscd by her sister, Salhe. who
is graduate of the Protestant
Hospital. of Norfolk. While her
death was not entirely uneSpect-
ed, it was q severe shock to her
many friends and loved ones,
She was a native Of Mathews
County and was in her twenty
first year at the time of her death.
She was the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hodges. and
was married TO Floyd Shawn Dec.
25, 1906. She became a mem Der
Of Macedonia Baptist Church in
early girlhood. and was willing
worker in the church always read
Y to do her part. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
Jordan. Her remains were borne
tenderly and carefully to their
last resting place by her brothers.
Messrs. George, Jessie, Judson,
Ira and Spencer Hedges and
borther-in-lrw, John b. Jarvis.
AS the sun sinking in the west we
laid her to rest in the family bury
ing ground at her childhood home
while many friends who were
gathered around her grave sang
with hearts full of sorrow that
beautiful hymn. Shall we meet
beyond the river" She leaves
husband. father and mother,
two sisters. five brothers and
dear little baby girl to mourn her
loss. Lulah will be remembered
and mourned by large circle of
friends still lingering on this side
of the river, and joytully welcom-
ed by the loved ones and friends
of other days on the other shore.
She is not dead. The memory
of her life on earth is blessed, she
lives in the hearts and lives OF
who can say how many? But,
over yonder, she lives III the pres
ence of her Master, and glOries Ct
the redeemed. She lived a true
life on earth and her end was
peace. Such lives as hers make
this earth better, and they some
times make us long TO be where
they are.
A FRIEND.
