Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1913-10-23
Death of ]. H. Heer.

Johan Henry Heer died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Anna
Marugg, last Friday at l p. m.
While his death was not unex-
pected, having been confined to
his bed about three weeks, still
it came as a shock to his family
and many friends.
He was born in Glarus, Swift
zerland, Jan. "a, 1880, and had
attained the high age of SO years
and 8 mouths. He came to this
country when he was az years
old and spent number of years
at the Swiss Colony. He always
made his home with his faithful,
loving daughter, who, together
with her children, made his life
one of happiness and content
meut.
His lovsble, fatherly ways were
evinced throughout the town. On
all sides one would hear him
spoken of as "Grandpa Her,"
and his loving, peaceful DISPOSE
tion had a soothing influence
over oil who had the pleasure of
knowing him. His last days
showed his strength of character
and willingness to be ready
when the end came, and his one
thought was "No one who con-
templates the immensely of AL
mighty God and His universe
aud realizes what an atom he is
in it all, can fear to die in this
flesh"
1t was touching scene to wit
ness the uptiriug efforts of his
daughter and her children per-
forming every act of kindness
with the greatest affection for
this aged loved one.
He is survived by three chill.

Tracy City, Mrs. d. O. Hughes
of Louisville, and henry Heet of

despite her long service and excellent
record. The poor woman, without
means and with three small children

ment. She was briefly informed that
before her appeal could be considered
she must divorce her husband.
