MRS. JOHN pEVLIN

A good woman dies. but her memory
lives and Is enshrtned IN the love and
affection of her family ard friends
Mrs. Cathrine Regina Fleming, dutiful
and beloved wife of John DevIin, passed
down the western hillside to the beauti-
full valley of rest, in the early hours of
Monday morning. Without trepidation,
she watched the setting of her sun; and
when she entered the sombre valley,
the dear ones saw in death her eye
lids close, calmly as to nights repose,
like flowers at set of sun" In the
tolls and perplexities of life she never
entered word of complaint; and in her
last lingering illness, through months
of racking pain, she never gave way to
lamentation, never deplored her lot,
ever cheerful and resigned to the inev
liable, the will of her Master.
A multitude of friends deeply mourn
the loss of So good woman and neigh
Dor, and all feel assured that, in the
tomorrow or death, this pure soul will
stand on the Plains of Peace, before
the great white throne. clothed in the
robes made white in the blood of the
Lamb.
Mrs. Devlin had been in and out Of
'ilis community fof about twenty
seven years; always 61ing the work
that her hands found to do; devoted TO
family, thoughtful of the misfortunes
of other, charitable in act and word.
Although of different religious belief
from most of her intimate associates,
Mrs. Devlin was willing and active
participant with them in all that gave
character and betterment to community
surroundings. She was born in the
state of New York, November Ia, 1850,
moved with her family to Lansing,
Iowa, in 1854, where on November %,
1869, she was united in marriage to
John Devlin. There her five children
were born, Hattie and George dying in
infancy, Mamie, beautiful daughter
in the flush of young womanhood, pass
ing away in this city. Will and Frank,
the remaining sons, together with the
| devoted husband, survive to lament the
going of noble mother and wife. Also
two brothers and sister, w. e. and
j. T. Fleming Of Nebraska, Mrs. j.
p. Gallagher of Iowa, the latter OF
whom was with the deceased much OF
the time during the long weeks of her
bedfastness.
Funeral rites were conducted from

ing, by Father Edward 0 Reilly, Reeds
burg, first pastor of the new church.
and with whom Mrs Devlin so jealous
ly labored for it's establishment. She

altar. Pastor Father Strangely and
Father Morris of Ettrick, assisted in
the solemn service. The orphans choir
of Lacrosse, sang the chants. The
tribute paid the dead by Father O'Reil-
ly was beautiful, true and touching.
The church and home were bowers of
perfection in flowers and floral designs.

city cemetery.

is SOME CLOSE GUESSING
CONTESTANTS FOR CENSOR PRIZES
on COUNTY AND CITY NUMBERS
Viroqua and Country People Each Score
Two Winnings Very Aged Woman
is First in the City Guessing

A year ago now, or during the emu
meration of comfy and city popula-
ton, the CENSOR offered four prizes to
those who should make the cloest guess
on population of Vernon county and
city of Viroqua. The first prize in each
instance was 81 90, for the persons who
should make the closest guess on the
number of people in the county and city.
The two second prizes were for those
who should make the next closest guess,
a years subscription to the CENSOR.
There was lively rivalry for the honors
and many persons who speculated on
the outcome. Possibly many may have
become impatient in waiting a full
year for conclusion, and we must admit
that the CENSOR was among the clans
who so grew tired of waiting. Wehave
just gone through and scheduled the
numbers and find that the guessing was
very close. The county enumeration as
received from the census bureau at
Washington, is %, ll6. The close guess
ing on this score is:
]. Marion Allen. town Of Webster .. Is I39
E. B. Hyde then resident of Retreat. q, 444
The gentlemen above were the only
ones who kept within the $4,000 zone,
all others being above 29, 900. The
highest number predicted was by Aida
Kinserdal of Westby, who's figures
we-s SO, 32l. The same person made
the widest guess on city population, or
8, 231.
THE CITY SCHEDULES.
The official city figures are given by
the census bureau at 2,059, and the con-
testants closest are:
Mrs James Hawkins. yiroqua ...,... ..t. 2.060
