AT RIPE OLD AGE
Nathaniel Winston Lays Down Life s
Burdens

Nathaniel Winston died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Thos. Bracken,
Monday, Nov. 20, at I o'clock p. M,
where he has lived for the past eleven
years, aged S6 years.
The deceased was born in County
Kerry, Ireland, March 20, 1923, coming
to Quebec, Canada, in 1915, where he
settled on farm. He was united in
marriage to Joanna O'Brien and four
daughters were born to them, Mrs.
VIM. Kenyon of Newport, VT, Mrs.
Thos. Bracken and Miss Joanna Whit
ston of Belding and Sister Francesca OF
New Orleans. Mrs. Winston died
nine years ago. The children were all
present ut their fathers bedside when
death came except Sister Francesca.
Mr.. Winston loved his home here
and was seldom away, always at work
doing something when health permit
ted. He will be greatly missed by his
family, to whom he was very devoted.
The funeral service was held at st.
Joseph's Catholic church Wednesday
morning, Fr. Zindler officiating, and
the remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery. Miss Anna Brack-
Ell was home from Kalamazoo TO attend
the funeral.

oming county, New York, where he
worked on his fathers farm until 21
years of age. He then came to Otisco
township, Ionia county, Michigan,
and purchased from the state eighty
acres of wild land, which has nearly
every since been his home. After re-
naming here one year he returned
to his former home in New York state,
where on February %, 1916, he was
united in marriage with Miss Cynthia
Joy.
SIN the spring of the next year the
young couple came TO Michigan with
the intent of making for themselves
home from the piece of wild land
he had purchased. His brother and
wife, who had preceded him a few
years, made them welcome until with
axe and saw they could build for them
selves rude cabin from the forest
trees. In this rude home they lived
while together they labored and suf-
fered the hardships and deprivations
of early pioneer life, and lived to es-
tablish through their united efforts
the beautiful farm home we now see.
And now after they have each laid
down their life's work we can verify
say the world is better for their hav-
ing lived, and they have been bene-
factors of the human race. To this
union two children were born Edgar
who lives on part of the old home
stead, and Mrs. VIM. Sparks, who
passed from this life last January
The demise of Mrs. Kilborn occurred
March %, 1903. Ten grandchildren
and twenty-one great grandchildren
survive.n

A travelling man, from Grand Rap
ids, who is quite a poet, was in the
city recently, and was taking dinner
at Hotel Belding when the whistle
at the mill sounded The noon hour
and the throngs Of busy good looking
girls who emerged from the different
factories set his poetical muse a-run-
ming, and the following tribute to 'sThe
Factory Girls at Beldingn was quickly
Produced
At Belding Hotel, while al dinner today
Ny attention was called to the mill DER the way
Precisely Al twelve there emerged from the door
BY twos and by three's and then by the score
aThc Factory Girls five hundred or more
Away they went tripping,
Anon they went skipping,
Humming some popular dtty the while
Happy, contented and wearing smile
We're "the Factory Girls" at Beldng
one short hour respite, away from the mill
To their up-to-datc boarding house crowning the
hill,
Jolly and cheerful, as onward they GO
Eyes all a sparkle and face all agow
While lodging the flakes Of the light falling snow
Girls of oil ages
Each earning fair wages
industrious, earnest, well worthy the name
All playing their part in lifcs strenuous
Are athe Factory Girls at Belding.
