Robert TrembleY.

Robert Trembley was born in Deca-
tur county, Iowa, Oct. II, 1870, and died
at his home in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sept.
"a, 1908.
Robert was one of the few men who
won the confidence and love of all with
whom he had to do.
He had been for many years the only
support, of widowed mother and two
sisters, besides having wife and child
of his own, and while the sisters had
been for some time previous to his
death doing for themselves, the wife and
mother were still dependent on him.
Twas sad indeed to see him taken away
from his young wife and sweet four year
old baby girl. But we sorrow not with
out hope, for while our brother had his
own peculiar ideas about how he should
serve the Lord he ever exercised strong
faith in his God, and said to his mother
when asked by her if he was ready for
the worst, eyes it is alright with me-
He leaves wife, one child, mother,
two sisters and brother to mourn his
loss. Services by T. E. Glendening at
the home in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

born August 8, 1872. The three last
named have preceded their father t.
the better land. He leaves a helpless
broken hearted wife to mourn his loss
The call came to our brother early or
Monday morning and he passed peace
fully away to the land where there il
no pain and where the knowledge o
the God he served so faithfully is com
plete.
At the time of death Mr.. Howard was
IS years, months and 16 days OF age
He has been a resident of Grand Rivel
and vicinity since 1883 when he moved
here from Union county, Iowa. He ha!
5een citizen of the state of Iowa since

repute in this community. He was ;

his religion into practice by helping hi
neighbors in sickness or in trouble
Many people have good reason to cher
ish his memory il this respect.-Grant

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. q 1908,

THE advance sheets of census bulletin
81, covering the statistics Of marriage
and divorce for the twenty gears between
1887 and 1906, inclusive, show marty
twelve million MARI ages aud one million
divorces for the period investigated.
This is sad state of affairs which seems
to be going from bad to worse. The
marriage rate in the United States In
1900 was 90 per 10000 population; the
divorce rte 10 the same year, 7S per
y 100, 900 population. Both the marriage
aud the divorce rates are larger IN The
United States than in any foreign coun-
try but the divorces in the south are
not proportionslely 80 many IS In the
other states, though they sre numerous
enough in all conscience sake. Divorce
"a now two and one-half times as COM
mon, compared with the married Popu-
latiou, as It was 40 years ago, and not
less than one marriage out OF twelve Is
terminated by divorce. This seems to
be the growing evil of the times and calls
for rigid msrriage and divorce laws and
their vigorous enforcement. Nothing
more uudermiues society than the loose
Observance of these laws.
