Along the 44udson river where
more ice is harvested than in any
other section of the country electric
motors are being extensively used
in handling the CONCEALED crystals
for next summers trade.
Out on the glistening surface of
the river the ice is being marked and
cut with "plows" drawn by horses
The cakes are spudded off by hand
and floated to the electrically oper-
ated chain conveyors where they
are automatically hoisted from the
water and hurried in continual
stream to the ice houses. AS the
cakes pass along on the conveyors
they go through the various finish
ing machines. One device trims the
cakes to the proper size, another
shaves the top of each because pass

in His infinite wisdom, deemed it
proper to remove from our midst
the beloved wife of our sovereign,
our midst was preceded by long suf-
fering God blessed her with the
hand and heart of noble husband,
whose companionship proved true
benediction to her throughout her
life She was a wife devoted, a moth
er affectionate, and a friend ever,
kind and true. She welcomed death,
not only as release from bodily
suffering, but as the fruition of her
hopes of eternal happiness. Her
broad smiles, kindly face and genial
disposition, not only gladdened her
own home but contributed much to
the happiness of her friends, and Of
ten afforded them comfort in time
of trouble. With this feeble express
sion of feeling and sentiment for
the departed wife of our sovereign.
Be it resolved by the members of
Elm Camp No. AS, w. 0. w. Of
Waxahachie, Texas. 1st. That in the
death of Sovereign ]. F. Guthrie's
wife, he has sustained a great and
irreparable loss.
ID That our city and our COM
munity have lost valuable and
useful citizen.
Sd. That a copy hereof be spread
upon the minutes of this camp as
a testimonial of our love and SYM
pathy to him.
4th. That copy of these resolu-
tons be furnished to the family.
