one of them being girls. The young
est child is thirteen or fourteen
years old. Mr.. Noomen was the
father-in-law of John Rocks, broth
err of Clerk of Court P. G. Rocks of
Linton. He was dependable and
honorable, and worthy example
of that class of farmers who came
here at an early day and settled in
parts of Campbell and Emmons coun-

ing the lean years Of long hauls to
market, and who have done so much
in the way of proving the adaptable
lty of this region for the making
of comfortable farm homes. His
family have the sympathy of every
one who knew Mr.. Noomen as an
upright man and a good citizen.
