OBITUARY
John haIseh.

The following of local interest Is
from the Coin Qowa) Gazette:
John Haisch was born in Wurtem.
burg, Germany, September 25, 1S49,
and died at his home In Coin, Iowa,
December 10, 1913, being Ga years, 2
months and "a days OF uge. In the
summer of 1857 he, with his parents,
three brothers and one sister, sailed
from Hamburg, Germany, and landed
in New Orleans, October 10Th, after a
sixty-three days voyage. From there
they came directly to Keokuk, Iowa,
where he grew to manhood.
On April "a, 1872, he married Miss
Caroline E. Black and took his bride
to a little rented homa. Mr.. Haisch
soon looked for broader field of ac-
tivity and found 1t in Page county in
it's pioneer days Of 1882, and not only
temporarily but for a life time ana
his was lifetime OF extraordinary
achievements. Upon his arrival in
Page county he purchased two hun
dred acres Of land near Northboro.
Iowa, and in spite of Universities he
carried an unflinching faith in the
future productiveness of this country
which was at that time an open prai-
RE. Here his life's work began in
earnest and here at the end of thirty
two years his early formed ideas are
materialized. No stagnation was evil
dent in his world of business and his
main Characteristic was mo defeat.
Honesty and sobriety were the pre-
dominant traits in all his dealings
with his fellow men and We're recog-
ntzed by all with whom he came IL
contact. His interests were not con
fined entirely to Page county but ex-
tended into South Dakoa, Nebraska
and Kansas.
The interest he had most at hear
was his family; he leaves to mourn
him, his wife in Coin Iowa, four sons
julius, Jesse, Edward and Oscar in
South Dakota and a daughter, Mrs

GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Plant CONSIDERED
Question Of One For keokuk is in
the Hands Of Hygiene Committee
of the industrial
Association.
DESTRUCTION IS BEST
Four Types Are Considered by the
Committee But One is Be-
Ieved to be Most
Suitable.

The question of the disposal of gar
bags in the city of keokuk y in the
hands of the committee on health and
hygiene of the Industrial Association.
In addition to the work done by this
committee, Manager Towne has re.
ceived replies to letters which he has
sent out to some sixty or seventy
towns asking what provision they ara
making along these lines.
There are four classes of garbage
disposal plants to be considered, but
only one is considered practical for
Keokuk. The four classes are re-
Queer, incinerator, crematory and de.
struetor. The destructor is con 'ide--
ed as the most likely type for use In
s a city of the size and the conditions
of Keokuk.
The question of garbage disposal
came up in the fall and the propo 81
ton was put up to the committee on
hygiene. 1t is hoped to have soma
sort Of plan worked out for gar'bag
y disposal by the time fly time comes
around again. In the meantime
through a campaign of education, the
COMMITTEES has endeavored to have
the property owners see how they can
help in this work, and through articles
contributed to the newspapers, the
subject has been covered.
If garbage disposal pant is moi
found TO ! e practical at this time, OF
If it cannot be built as soon as It is
needed, some method of taking care
of the garbage of the city will be
worked out
Few cities the size of Keokuk have
elaborate disposal plants but from
cities In which thsre is dispo a
system, Manager Towne has receives
letters recommending the establish
ment of plants or the introduction o
some system to carry out the work o
