the fight would be carried into
the courts, where final ratification
would have to come. He declared
that the "city beautiful" was de-
sirable, but nto at such heavy
cost, particularly when there was
simpler and less expensive way
of attaining it.
Mr.. Comerford was bitter in
his attacks on the local papers,
which, he said, were boosting the
plan, and would not give public
ity NO the objections raised by
himself and other opponents of
the proposed trade.
Mr.. Butler, favoring the plan,
spoke of the esthetic side of the
trade, and pictured a beautiful
island in the lake, where the poor
people from the congested dis
trict could go for a breath of air.
ell said it was desirable at any
price. When asked if the pail of
smoke that would hang over the
I. C. tracks between this contem-
plated island and the city would
not be an Objectionable feature,
he said the committee had assur-
ances that the road would be cleo

Obituary..

William Roush, youngest son OF
George and Rachel r ush, was born
near his late residence April %, 1887.
His age at date of death was rs years,
months and III days. During this
entire time his residence was In the
immediate vicinity Of his place of
birth.
On August 90, 1860 the deceased was
joined by the holy bond of wedlock to
Allie Henry, of near New Lexington,
Ohio, This happy union was unbrok-
en- until the hand of death removed
the husband and father. For over one
half of century, through trial and
suffering, through JOY and sorrow alike
the tide of affection was always at the
highest. When age and intirmity con-
fined them to the home no sense OF
loneliness or regret ever entered, as
each was content with the companion
ship of the other The tie broken by
the hand of death can not be united
this side of the Land of Beauty.
There were born to this couple four
children, three daughters and one son !;
two daughters the son, eight grand
children, three great grandchildren
and Leslie Carey, nephew, who made
his home with them for number Of
years, still remain one daughter and
three grandchildren having passed to
the other side.
Elva, the wife of Dana 9. Bond, died
Jan. 80, 1888. Iva, the wife of Frank
Hogsett, Ollie, the wife of Carey A.
Pence and Carey, who married Myrta
Robinson, join the mother in their
sorrow for husband and father.
At the age of 20 years he united with
tn Church of Christ and for over half
century he served as a faithful and
earnest soldier of the cross. For the
past sixteen years he has held the
office of bishop in the South Liberty
Church of Christ. and has admins
tered the duties of this holy office in
an earnest and competent manner.
He is gone The places of his asso-
! citation shall know him no more for
ever. Words cannot deepen the sense
of loss the community feels. His work
is finished and his hands are folded in
the last long rest. While our eyes are
dimmed with tears and our hearts are
filled with sorrow at the sad parting,
yet we live with hope and gladness
toward the Fathers kingdom and we
know that with his work we'll finished
and his duties faithfully performed, he
has gone from the shadows of earth to
the glories of eternity, to receive the
"Well done thou good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the joys OF
thy Lord -
