Death MESSENGER
near DOW CITY
John PETIT, Born in England in 1924
Passes Away at His Union Town
ship Home Thursday Last.
BURIED IN GALLAND's GROVE:
Was Father of Six Sons and Five
Daughters--Resided in Craw-
ford County Since Year 1864

The community was not surprised
when word went round last Thursday
that John PETIT was dead. He had
been very i'll for several days and his
children who lived at distance were
notified that he could not survive
many days. Daily he grew weaker
and his loved ones lowered at the
bedside to attend to his every want
and to give him every comfort for
they knew he must soon leave them
for the journey across the divide.
When the death messenger came he
went quietly and peacefully with him.
Those at the bedside knew that he
had gone to better place than this
and that he had found his companion
of other years waiting for him. John
Pett was born at Eddington, England,
Sept. q, 1924, and died at his home
in Union township Sept. II, 1913. Just
81 years previous to the day he was
buried he married Mary Anne Ingram,
of Oxfordshire, England. TO this
union were born six sons and five
daughters. His wife and one daugh-
ter preceded him to the other side
many years ago. He was human. He
made mistakes, but to those of us
who loved him most he was a great
man and he died great. AS the sands
of life ran low he whispered, "The
Lord is my shepherd" and as the end
came he sank to sleep as peacefully
as a babe at it's mothers breast. He
leaves to mourn his loss six sons and
four daughters as follows: William,
George, Samuel, Fred, Oliver and
Moroni. and Fanny, who lives at home,
Mrs. George Young, of South Dakota;
Mrs. Dave Young, of Missouri, and
Mrs. Shaw, of Kansas, besides twelve
grandsons, fifteen granddaughters.
four great grandsOns and two great
granddaughters and scores of friends.
In 1851 he left England for America,
arriving at New Orleans the second
of May. He came to Crawford coun-
ty in 1864, where he has since resid-
ed. He united with the L. D. S. church
in=1S63 and ever maintained his faith
in the gospel. The funeral services
were held at the l.. D. S. church at
Gallands Grove September 14th at 1
o'clock. being conducted by Elder J.
F. Mcdowell, OF Magnolia, assisted by
Elder Charles Derry, of Woodbine.
and the remains were laid to rest in
the Gallands Grove cemetery by the
side of his beloved wife. His six
sons served as pail bearers. A large
concourse of friends followed him to
his last resting place. Grandfather
PETIT, we know thou hast gone where
the weary are blest and we trust we
may live so as to meet you on the
other shore. Farewell, farewell.

started out Of pure devilishness" by
one Of the prisoners.
It was learned that cocaine has come
into the prison in considerable quanti-
ties in the sheets purchased for their
cots by the convicts. These sheets
are soaked in cocaine, and so are the
leaves Of books brought in to the
prisoners. The prisoners suck the
sheets or the leaves of the books to
get the drug. Since the fire. 1t was
said, much cocaine had come into the
prison in spite of the vigilance of the
warden and keepers. 1t was said that
this had been responsible for much of
the trouble.
