Mr.. John WOOdSOn Ham, was
born in Madison county, KY,
January 22, 1928 and died after
short and severe illness in the
city of St. Louis, October nth,

days.
Mr.. Ham was the second child
of Elder Stefan, and Jane Ham
who came to this country from
Kentucky in the fall of 1928 and
settled on a farm south OF Dan
vile, this county, where they re-
sided until the year 1885, when
they moved to galloway county
where they lived two years. AT
forwards they returned to Mont
gomery county and settled on a
farm seven miles southwest of
Danville where Mr.. Ham grew
to manhood.
He was of family of eight
children, five sons and three
daughters, all of whom excepting
one, Mrs. A. Oliver proceeded
to the Land Beyond" AT the
age of 22 Mr.. Ham quit the farm
life and for three years was a
successful school teacher. At the
expiration OF this time he enter
ed the mercantile business, and
became partner OF MI. D e.

years he sold out to Mr.. Bryan

the meantime Mr.. Bryan moved
-frfs stock of goods to the vicinity

what is now known as the Good
rich residence. In the year 1858
John w. Ham AMI his brother,
Hardin, formed a partnership
and embarked in the grocery
business in Montgomery City,
they being among the first and
the leading business men of

expiration of one year they added
dry goods and continued to do a
successful generalI mercantile
business, demonstrating by their
every day examples to all their
customers that men could Sue
ceed in business and make money
and at the same time be, strictly
honest. In the year 1893 Mr..
Ham retired from active business
life, selling out to his brother,
Hardin.
In the year 1870 on the 27th
day of November, he was united
in marriage to Miss Martha A.
Brown Of Audrain county with

Worley.

Baptist in behalf of his father
and also his uncle, Rev. Jake

The Kerry Cow drew a fair audi
ence Saturday night, but not so large
a one as its merits entitled It to. It
is an old play, with not a great deal

close to the real thing. Arthur Gun

his work realistic. or course, ;he

sight, but yet even this homely bit Of
work was attractive. II. d. Byers, Rs
Patrick Dow, the old Irish gentleman
about TO lose his farm, was really

cast. George Calvert, as Mayor
Gruff, also did some effective work.

bit of wholesome acting an enjoyable

ALLEGES WIFE
IS A BIGAMIST
A. UNDERWOOD BRINGS SUIT
TO ANNUL. MARRIAGE
Former Private Secretary to Senator
w. A. Clark of Montana Secretly
Files Petition TO Make Him
Free Man

On the grounds that his wife had
not secured a divorce from ner former
husband. A. Underwood, former prl-
vate secretary to Senator w. A. Clark
of Montana and one of the well known
figures in the business life of New
York, Montana and Los Angeles, mas
entered suit to annul his marriage with
Mrs. Underwood, contracted in July,
1908. Underwood alleges in his COM
plant which was secretly filed some
three months ago in the superior court,
that his wife is still the wife of ii.
NJ, Klair of New York and that she
has never applied for or received a
legal separation from Klair. Mrs. Un-
derwood has been married three times.
The first marriage was to Peek Ep-
pinger. the second to II. NJ. Klair and
the third to Underwood. She Is now
stopping at the Hotel Manx, San Fran
cisco and Mr.. Underwood is living at
the Hinman apartments in Los An
geles.
According to Underwood, his wife
has admitted she never received d1-
vorce from Klair. She has made
most determined fight against Under
woods suit, seeking to delay the case
as much as possible. Mrs. Underwood
was in Los Angeles recently, staying
at the Lankershim hotel from Novem-
Der to November 16 1t is asserted
that while here she attempted to ef-
feet a reconciliation, which Underwood
refused absolutely.
Says Woman Admits Charge
In a statement made last night I'm
derwood said: Il married Mrs. I'm
derwood in New York in July, 1908.
Within a week after my marriage l
found l had made a mistake. l learned
later that Mrs Underwood has never
received divorce from H. NJ. Klair,
whom she had married several years
before she married me. The court rec
ords show conclusively that this is the
case, and she has admitted to me that
l am right. She has made fight but
| believe she now realizes she has no
grounds on which to fight the case
further. l do. not care to cause her
any more trouble or sorrow than she
has had. so l shall not tell of her past
life. She has been unfortunate in hav-
ing improper advice many times. All
l seek is freedom from bonds which
are irksome and illegal. 1 am not
suing for divorce, but for an annull-
ment."
Underwood is 3S years old. His wife
is 81 years old. He gained quite a
reputation during his association with
Senator Clark. He has Travelled all
over the world and is we'll known in
the capitals of Europe. His investga-
tion of the monetary systems of China
and Japan brought him much notice,
as did his reports on irrigation mat
ters while Senator Clark was president
of the national irrigation congress.
