PENHALLEGoN

| After an illness of three months, Mrs
Mary f. Penhallegon, wife of oui
townsman, w. J. Penhallegon, passed
away on Friday morning, August 26th
two days after serious operation per.
formed by Or. Malone of Milwaukee,
who was assisted BY three local physi.
clans.
Mrs. Penhalegon was the daughter
of VIM. and Elizabeth Cox. She was
born in this city, March %, 1859. being
therefore 81 years, months and 3 days
of age. Her marriage occurred Jan.
II, 1879. Eight children blessed this
union
Some years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Pen
ha'legou were called upon by an in
scrutable Providence to give three of
their little ones back to their Maker
through the cruel agency of diphtheria.
Their remaining family consists of Mrs.
Bertha Benson, Genevieve, Ruth, Mar
ion and Howard. Mrs. Cox, mother of
the deceased, and Mrs. Prisk, the grand
mother, also survive.
Eighteen years ago the deceased con
fessed her Lord by uniting with rNs
Primitive Methodist church of this city
and has honored her profession by con-
sistent Christian life. She was truly a
woman of the home, mild and conside-
rate in every way, and her demise Gre
ates vacancy that can never be filled.
The funeral occurred on Sunday af-
ternoon from the home and was con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev w. j. c.
Bond. The Woman's Relief Corps at
tended and rendered their impressive
service.
The almost unprecedented number,
who attended the obsequies, was an
evidence of the high regard with which
Mrs. Penhallegon was held by the com
munity and splendid expression Of
sympathy for the bereaved family.
QUIRK.
Pierre, eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierre Quirk, died at the family home,
in this place, Friday, Aug. 26, at the
age of II years. For some days the
little fellow had been ailing and the
day previous to his death he walk half
a mile to the doctors Office. 1t was a
conbined case Of appendicitis and peri
tonitis. Friday morning Drs. Lrdden.
Bailey and Brown, in consultation, de-
cided that an immediate operation was
the only salvation but after beginning
they found the cose hopeless Que.
The lad was evidently death-siezed.
He was an interting and studious boy
for one of his years. In their march
through the vale of sorrow the grief
stricken parents and family have the
sympathy Of the entire community.

Robbers on the Wrong Side of the Bn,s

Mineral Point and other communities
may suffer from bank robbers, bank
defalters, etc, but scarcely any worse
than through the extortionate charges
of express companies. In the course of
fifteen to twenty years an express com
pany operating in community of the
business capacity Of Mineral Point will
wrongfully take therefrom as much
money as all bank troubles combined.
This may appear to some as an extrava-
giant assertion, but get out your pencil
and go to figuring. Express companies
have constantly heeced the people and
still keep at it, and their greedy, grasp
ing managers are among those of our
populace who are on the wrong side Of
the prison bars.
