Filling Evenson Soil died at the

son, at a. m. Sunday, Feb. 6, 1910, Of
Bright's disease. Seven years ago he
went to Vernon county to engage in
farming and returned to Edgerton two
weeks ago. He is survived by his wife,
two children, his mother, three broth
ers and three sisters. The burial .serv-
ice was conducted by Rev. j. Lidnevold

Rev. G. Kenneth MacInnis was
dated to preach at Milton Junction
Monday evening At the depot the
bulletin board announced the 6:45 train
two hours late. That was the one he
intended to ride over on. Rev. G.. Ken
meth is not the man to be daunted by a
late train-not when the track is clear
ed ahead. Stepping to the platform he
looked eastward, toward the Junction
town, and figured it to be only seven
miles away. He could walk like sixty
and the good people over there. would
expect him to talk from their pulpit
that evening. He struck the ties and
in much less time than it takes to tell,
his coat tails were flying in the breeze
as he sailed around the curve near the
railroad bridge. A freight train over
took him on the up grade half way
there. He swung on and rode to the
top and then swung off, hot-footing it
the rest of the distance. The people at
the crossroads town were not disap-
pointed the preacher came and had
wind enough left to give them good
sermon of an hour or more in length.
That's the kind of a preacher Rev. G.
Kenneth MacInnis is. He can walk or
talk in way that always places him to
the front of the front pew. And here
we might add that only man of his
build could land district confer
ence in small town like Edgerton.
