pOICuu0u NY HIS vile, WuOm lie IOuU-
ly addressed as MARY, my DEAR" not
to drink anything on his trip to New
York. Thurman at the time was
seventy-five years old. He had been
accustomed to slim ulants for sixty
years. He was a whiskey drinker.
He was no drunkard, but was &C
customed to whiskey and water with
his meals, especially at dinner.
Nevertheless Thurman made that
promise to MARY, my DEAR" and on
the trip from Columbus to New York
Myers, the late Beriah Wilkins, part
owner of the Washington Post, Allen
G. Thurman, Jr., and several others
had great fun at the meals in Brice's
car in hearing the noble old Ro-
man." Thurman, say mo drinks for
me on this trip. I promised Mary
l wouldn't take spoonful"
Brice's car was small one 1t
was tackled to a heavy Pennsylvania
train, and from Columbus to New
York there was many curve around
which the car was snapped like a
whiplash. Several in it were made
car sick. AS a, matter of fact, at the
meals in the car Thurman, Wilkins,

the occasion was too important for
them to take anything but coffee,
tea or lemonade, and it was fraz-
zled and nervous party when it pull
ed into Jersey City. Besides, it was
hotter than Tophet.
Thurman was quickly conveyed to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and that
evening he was escorted to the great
demonstration in Madison Square
Garden. AS he entered the garden
he was attacked by nausea. He was
able to say only few words, and
one Republican newspaper in New
York city, not knowing the circum-
stances and being, besides, imbued
with strong anti-Democratic senti-
ments, said the following morning
that Thurman couldn't speak be-
cause he was drunk, and that his
sickness was due to overindulgence
in stimulants on the way from Co.
1umbus to New York.
Allen o. Myers, Allen G.. Thurman,
Jr., and the others were quite dis
posed to be angry over this Any way,
they were very much chagrined The
sickness of Thurman and his inability
to speak on the occasion mentioned
were due, in the opinion of a physi-
clan called at the time, to the fact
that Thurman, who had been accus-
toned to stimulants all his life, had
on one of the great episodes of his
career, involving unusual nervous
tension, refused them.
The following night Thurman was
to speak in Newark, and Myers and
the old Romans son, Allen G., and
others in the party suggested to
Thurman that, while it was all very
well to keep his promise to "Mary,
my DEAR" perhaps MARY, my DEAR
did not quite understand the situa-
ton and in this advice the New York
city physician agreed. So running
out to Newark in Brice's private car
Myers gave the noble Old Roman a
pretty stiff drink of whiskey just
about half an hour before he was to
speak and Thurman, when he got up
on his feet in a hot and sitting hall
damned to the ceiling made one of
the tidiest Democratic speeches of
his life.
On his return to Columbus Thur
man explained in his quaint and
quizzical way to MARY, my DEAR"
just how he was compelled to break
his promise to her, but even to this
day many believe the story nrintad

MRS. HENRY d. RoLEY

Silence fills her place, and SOL
itude spreads ike a shadow over

Catherine ], Ramsey, daughter
of Charles and Elizabeth Ramsey,
was born in Winchester, Adams
county, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1851. She
was married to H. d. Ro.ey Dec.
5, 18S3,. was converted Nov. 19,
1875, and united with Brush Creek
church under the preaching of
Rev. c. P. DuvaiL Rev. j. r. Pat
ton was pastor of the church at
that time.
She departed this life Oct. II,
1910, at the age of 4s years, ii
months and 7 days. After a song
and prayer service at the resi-
dence, the funeral was conducted
from Brush Creek church by Rev.
g. NJ. Okes, assisted by DR.. R:gg
and Rev. Love.ace. The rema ms
were inferred in the Brush Creek
cemetery, n the presence OF a
large concourse of sorrowing
relatives end friends. The floral
offerings were most profuse and
beautiful, and the grave was hid
den beneath a wilderness of fern
and boom, expressive of the high
esteem in which this good woman
was he'd. As the fragrant flow
ers were placed upon the grave,
it called to mind how many times
she had piucked the choicest of
flowers from her own beautiful
selection and tenderly placed them
on other graves and mingled her
tears of sympathy with sorrow
ing ones.
From girlhood she had been an
active worker in Sunday school
and church. She was among the
first members of Prohibition W.
c. T. u, always ready to do her
part with a good song or paper.
When no longer able to attend
the meetings, she would send her
dues with encouraging words for
the cause.
Whether bowed down with sor-
row or buoyed up with a hope of
better day coming, she was
always gentle and cheerful, fill
ing tho home with sunshine for
her husbands sake. To her many
visitors and friends she ever mad
a kipdlys grestkzg. cnucealing her
suffering in her pleasing way.
When. too frail to go about, dur
ing her quiet hours at home she
wrote the following lines in her
Bible: SIT seems to me that hear
the sound Of the coming ship more
distinctly as it approaches. She
is past due and cannot delay much
longer. Already / see her plume
of smoke and hear the splash of
her wheels. 1 step upon her deck
for a journey into the unknown,
from whence no traveller ever re-
turns.n
Yes, her ship arrived, and amid
the pillows she crossed the river,
leaving us with hearts full of sor-
row. Our grief is only assnaged
by the assurance that her bright
and happy spirit has left land
of clouds and gone home to God,
to be with Him who said ~ will
never leave thee nor forsake
thee,n and -where she may yet
meet us all with a glad welcome.
All who knew her acknowledge
the influence of her lovely char
acter. He. home is broken, - be
welded on earth no more. To the
husband and bereaved re.asives
goes shc heartfelt sympathy OF
many sincere friends.
