OBITUARY.
Elmer Williams, the Oldest son of e.
j. and Sarah M. Williams, was born
August 9, 1891, died February S, 1908.
He was in regular attendance at the
Lime Spring High School, member
of the Sophomore class. He was
bright active boy and held in high es-
teen by his class mates. Although
not possessed of strong constitution
he had grown somewhat stronger dur
ing recent months and gave promise of
growing to manhood and useful life.
His being called away is blow to the
family, school and community. The
last sickness was of very short dura-
tion and before many of the friends
were aware of Elmer's condition, death
came.
| He is survived by his parents, two
brothers and sisters. The funeral serv-
ice, conducted by Rev. E. A. Lang,
who was assisted by Rev. Gammons of
Cresco and Rev. Griffith of Lime Spring
was held in the M. E. church of Lime
| Spring, February z, 1908.

From "Across the Sea- our friend
Howard Marshall sends us letter,
some of which will be of interest to all
and such extracts follow:
81 have just received my paper with
the news of the death of Judge Upton,
and need not say that was greatly
affected by it. He and had long
conversation shortly before I left
Cresco, and he seemed in pretty good
health and spirits, and when mentioned
that thought of visiting England, he
wished me pleasant trip and safe re-
turn. little thought that I should
never see him again, but shall always
remember him as one Of the most
friendly and genial men that it has
ever been my good fortune to meet. l
was much interested in Rev. Gammons'
eulogy on "The Judge" as he was
known all over Howard and adjoining
counties, and | don't think that any
body could take any exception to a
word that was SAID. 1t is somewhat of
a coincidence that while / was visiting
in England in 1901 that Rev. C. E..
Brown died, who was one of the
pioneers of Howard County and one of
the first settlers. 1t was SO years ago
last fall since landed in New Oregon,
having driven overland with my brother,
the late G. A. Marshall, from Boone
County, Illinois, which is situated about
60 miles west of Chicago. The only
railroad west of Chicago that reached
northeastern Iowa in 1857 was the
Galena Illinois Railroad, and the folks
had to take the boat to McGregor, and
then the stage to New Oregon, if they
did not wish to camp out.
"a great number of old settlers have
been called Cup Yonder" in the last
few years, among others were Rev. G.
E. Brown, W. R. Mead, H. A. Good
rich, DR.. Clemmer, August Beadle, A.
| D. Lent, S. M. Cole, 1. A. Libbey
Danl. Platt, Rev. c. A. Marshall, anc
Judge Upton, besides quite few thai
fail to remember.

Exiles From Cresco.

We make the following extracts
from a letter of recent date from Robt.
Phelan, III Oak St., San Angelo,
Texas:
'tMy trip back to my Texan home
was very pleasant as 1 stayed over at
Fort Worth to visit j. B. Caward at
his suburban home eight miles from
Dallas on the interurban car line which
connects the two fine cities Dallas and
Forth Worth. I found j. B. and his
household enjoying their new home and
all in perfect health. J. B. was busy
making out list of fruit and ornaments
al trees for spring planting as John,
like all Crescoites, prides himself in
nice homes and nice lawns with plenty
of shade trees. His latch-string is
always out to his Cresco callers.
"On my arrival home Saturday morn
ing, / found my better half on the look
out for me. She said that she had nc
cold or sign of her old trouble, the
asthma. Thomas Hayes also showed
up getting the flush of good health in
his cheeks, says he has gained z pounds
since coming to Angeles healthy
climate. No inducement could bring
Tommy back to Iowa's banana belt.
my opinion given to my many
friends in Howard County will be fully
sustained by coming down and seeing
for themselves. They can get home.

Tuesdays of each month, and they will
be more than fully repaid for their out
lay. I am like j. B. Caward; nay latch
