Men are waking up and are going

Waterloo I have found that the way
to make a town grow is, to have the
business men and the real estate
owners together with the capitalists go
after everything that will make the
town grow and to make the place AN
ideal one to reside in. Denisun is
nicely located, has the railroad facili-

MANY Friends and Loved Ones Unite In Last
Tribute to His Memory at Dow City I
Yesterday.

Monday morning, Nov. 10Th, 1909,
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
McHenry of Union township occurred
the death of Mr.. Samuel Gibson.
This was not unexpected, as he had
been in feeble health for years and
in critical condition for some
weeks.
MIR. Samuel Gibson was born May
4th. 1928, at Goulbourne, Ontario,
Canada. He was one OF q large
family of Canadian pioneers. He
was married June 9th, 1854, to Miss
Margaret Shillington. To them three
children were born, all of whom SUR
vive. These were Robert Henry Of
Hugo. Colorado; Mrs. Frank McHen-
~ of Dow City and Mrs. E. W.
Pierce of Denison.
Forty years ag, Mr.. Gibson will
his family settled near Dow City,
where he has resided great part o1
thu time since. In September 1877
he was called upon to part with th,
wife of his youth. After the mother

dollars to get factories to locate here,
and business and monied men have
taken stock in factories in order to
bring them here. This year we have
landed three big concerns. each ono

Mason Automobile Co., the Waterloo

married to Mrs. Jane Hill of FAIR

since. Three years ago Mr.. Gibson
underwent severe surgical operation
and has been in feeble health ever
since. During these years he has
made his home with his daughters.
He was converted in early manhood
and united with the Methodist church
in which he has remained for years.
