DIST. S, SOUTH LANCASTER
This School will Receive State Aid foR
Beautifying the Grounds

The lucky district in Grant County
to secure the aid of the State Hortl~
cultual Society. in identifying it's
school gounds is No. 5 of the township
of South Lancaster. This school will
be one of six picked throughout the
state, the surroundings of which will
be improved by the planting Of trees
and shIubbery.
The work will be done after care
fully prepared landscape plan. the
vines trees, shrubs etc being furnish
ed free by the society for a period Of
ten years. The society also will
furnish competent superintendent to
oversee the work. All that is asked
of the district will be the maintenance
of the walks, drives etc. called for by
the plans and the necessary labor IN
keeping up the work and of course the
repair in all surrounding fences SO as
to exclude live stock.
The school board Of the South Lam
caster school displayed great foresight
anu INCONSISTENCIES III oCNOPtAhS3 49,
offer made by the Horticultural
society. In few years without
doubt, their district will possess one
of the model country schools of the
middle west. From $40 to 500
will be expended on the work by the
society during the coming year alone
and during the remaining nine years
this sum will be greatly exceeded.
The value to any district of school
possessing ideal grounds can not be
estimated in dollars and cents. The
environment of any school greatly in
fiuences the work done by the pupils
and teacher, either for good or bad. as
the case may be.
The school officers of No. 5 South
Lancaster are Clyde Richardson, Ben
Petty and George Wieland. 1t is
joint distict, union of two small
ones being effected several months
ago. The teacher is Miss Mathilda
Block of Lancaster.

The sad news, reached here Mon
day evening telling of the death of
Atty. A. R. Bushnell. The news
was not entirely unexpected as for
some days Mr.. Bushnell had been
suffering with an unusually hard
attack of pneumonia and his con-
dition was known by his friends and
relatives here to be very serious.
The best of medical aid proved
unavailing and death came peace
fully at about four o'clock Monday
afternoon.
At the time of his death Mr.
Bushnell was nearly rs years of age
having been born in Hartford,
Ohio, July Is 1888.
In 1852 he came to this state and
taught school one winter at the
Block House branch near Platte
vile. The following spring he re-
turned to his native state and
resumed his course of studies by
which he was fitting himself for the

Obituary--Mrs. Rewey.

Amaret Bushnell ReweY, wife OF
Addison Rewey of Platteville, died
after a long and intense suffer
ing from accidental injuries and
disease, on March IL, 1909.
She was dauhgter of DR.. George
Bushnell and his wife Sally Bates,
of Hartford, Trumbull County, Ohio,
where she was born on June 20, 1895.
She was educated in the common and
academic schools of Ohio, and be-
came a very successful teacher. In
the fell of 1859 she came with her
brother, Hon. A. R. Bushnell, to
Lancaster, Wisconsin. Here she con-
tinued to teach school for two yea1s,
making her home with her sister,
Mrs. Sarah Davies, who was then
Mrs. Stephen D. Watkins of the town
of Lima, where she was married to
Addison Rewey, on October 2, 1851.
To them we're born three children,
who all survive their mother, Annie,
now Mrs. John Hull of PlatteviIle;
Clara, now Mrs. Paul Beck of CASTOR,
Ore. and John Jay Rewey of Platte
vile. Besides these and her sorrow
ing bubsand, numerous grandchil-
dren, four great grandchildren, andra
large circle of other loving relatives
and deeply sympathetic friends, who
mourn her loss.
She was a member of the Woman S
Relief Corps and of the Eastern Star.
and an earnest worker in both, when
consistent with her other duties.
In early girlhood she became a
member of the Christian or Disciple
church, and always made TIE living
up to the teaching of the Great
Master her aim and guide. The do
ing of right was her rule. Thus she
became an inspiration to those about
her, and to those whom she leaves be-
hind her, to do likewise.
She was of singularly sunny and
cheerful disposition; and though in
her later years called upon to under
go great physical pain and Altering.
she yet bore up under it with re.
markable courage and fortitude, and
through it all, seemed more anxious
for the welfare of those around her
than for herself. Her great mother
ly love embraced all with whom she
came in contact. No one in need
ever sought her aid in vain. when
it was in her power to grant relief.
She died with loving charity towards
all, passing away into the great
beyond as one who SINKS into sweet
pleasant sleep.
Her elderly sister, Mrs. Davies,
who took care of her in infancy and
travelled life's path with her through
all its course. and was with her in
her last moments. we'll summed up
her life work when she said, as she
did, "a sci sacrificing and NOBLE
life, was hers all the way through.
