when they awaited the WATERFOWL

at the Cataract hotel; even the rail-

extra effort, and when there was
nothing else doing the tireless fife and
drum sent the blood jumping through

The enthusiasm was contagious.
Who could help feeling a responding

Obituary..

Myron Riley Ostrander was born in
B~rownville, jefferson County, New
York, on July -, 1919. lie left Jetl-
erson County in his S e venteenth year
with his parents, who moved west TO
Wisconsin,, settling at West Point,
Columbia County. Eight years of his
life were spent there when his ambl-
ton again prompted him westward.
He came alone to Iowa, where he
worked at his trade, carpentry.
He drifted wei Iowa, settling for a
time at Mapleton. He was a lover of
the sport Of hunting and took Il
pleasure trip to California with a
friend. Returning from this trip he
came to Worthing, So. OAK, to visit
his brother, Wilson OStrander, and
| his sister Mrs. A. j. WeStbury return
ing after a pleasant visit to Maple
ton. A few years later, having
broken and wrecked his health with
hard work, he asked for help from his
| brother and sister, which was gladly
given. He came to spend his last
, days with them, making his home
with his brother, Wilson Ostrander.
He tried continually to get relief,
but while some doctors seemed to
help him for a time, he continued to
grow gradually weaker. The battle
of life grew gradually harder and
harder until on the morning of June
10th, while visiting his sister he was
called to meet his reward.
On account of her illness
his body was removed from
there to his brothers where the many
friends and relatives collected and
his nephew, Will Ostrander, from
Washington Springs, So. OAK, joined
the mourners, to pay the last sad rites
to the earthly remains, the home Of
that soul, which had fled across the
river to join it's maker in that celes-
tial home or high.
The remains were removed to the
Pioneer Church where a funeral SER
mon was preached: Rev. Smith of
Worthing officiating. The church
was filled with neighbors, friends and
sympathizers of the bereaved.
On account of a heavy rainstorm,
few followed the remains to it's last
resting place.
He is also survived by a brother in
Oregon. and a sister in Wisconsin.
He never married, but the families of
his brother and sister of this COM
munity are bowed in sorrow over the
irreparable loss of this loved one, but
he only responded to the call of his
Father. Let us hope he has gained
that happiness which he has been I'M
able to enjoy in the latter years of his
existence, and far in excess of any
earthly happiness it is possible to
gain.
