Impressive, dignified, and exceed
ingly interesting was the service Of

ience present, crowding all available
space in the gymnasium-auditorium
of the new building, many standing
in the entrance, and others remaining
in the hallway just off the audience
chamber. Outside the beauty Of the
religious ceremonial itself, the event
was featured by a strong and appeal
ing address by Thomas c. Blaisdell,
d. d., president of Alma college,. in
which he eloquently brought to the
people the message of association for
service. DR.. Blaisdell's address,
which came at the close of the SER

of the audience and was delivered in
a manner to command the thought

EPH JOHNSON BACK
Captain and StSf Last Years Foot
Ball Team.

The Cadillac News and Express of
last week had the following:
"Ephie" Johnson, captain Of the
crack Alma college football team of
1912 and the star of this same aggre-
cation, will leave for Alma early next
week, where he will attend school the
coming year. Johnson will be a SEN
ior this year. "Ephie" doesn't know
just what to say regarding Alma's
chances to again cop the M. |. A. A.
football championship this year The
Presbyterian school will probably
lose several of their stars of last year
besides Edgerton and Misenar, who
graduated in June. For this reasin
alone Johnson is not so very optim-
istic at this time of the year. The
Alma eleven will attack some strong
teams this fall, M. A. c. and Notre
Dame being among the real big
schools which will be faced Good
rich, another local lad who played an
end on the Alma college team, has
another half year in school but will
not return until February in order to
graduate in the class of 1915.

MRS. JOHN B. MALLORY
ODe OF the Early Settlers Of GratiOt
County.
DIED TUESDAY SEPTEMBER q
At Her Home In Seville Township Where She
Had Lived Since 1856.

Mrs. John B. Mallory, a pioneer of
Gratlot county, died at her home in
Seville township, Tuesday afternoon,
Sept. %, at one o'clock, after an i'll
ness extending over the past four
months, though death was primarily
the result of old age.
Laura Corinna Wright was born in
1928, the second daughter Of James
and Julia Wright, and lived with her
parents in Oswego county, N. Y,
and later in Chautauqua county, the
same state, where in 1S49 she was
united in marriage to John B. NAL
lory. In 1856 they came from Hills
dale county to Gratiot county and
settled in Seville township where
both died Their first home in Gra-
tlot county was log cabin without
windows and fireplace over which
the cooking was done. In this home
they lived for twenty-one years, en-
during the hardships and sacrifices
OF the pioneer and reaping the sat-
isfaction of knowing that they were
helping to develop the country and
raising family of men and women
who would fill useful, helpful places
in the community. Mr.. Mallory
died Sept 22nd, 1886, preceding his
wife, just twenty-seven years and
one day. Death came to both while
lying in the same room.
Mrs. Mallory was the mother of
eleven children, seven of whom sur
vive her; Walter, Fayette and Ralph
live near Elwell, Mrs. Charles John
son in Pine River township, Mrs.
Harry Rockland in Alma and Nor
ris and Miss Anna are still living at
the old home.
Mrs. Mallory was a woman of pro-
nounced Christian character and one
to whom no tribute is necessary as
her virtues are too we'll known
The funeral service will be held
this afternoon at the home, by Rev.
J. Frank Jackson and burial will be
made in the Brady cemetery.
