IS A BOOSTER
FROM THE HEART
AS SECRETARY OF THE FLoRALA
INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE, HE is DO
ING A GREAT AND GOOD WORK
FOR HIS CITY AND SECTION.

Robert Tyler, well known in the Ala
bama and Florida newspaper world,
and a one time editorial writer for
The Pensa cola Journal, has lately been
chosen secretary of the Florala Indus
trial League, a position for which he
is most admirably fitted
His past year of continued and con-
sistent boosting has been one Of great
results for Florala, and for the Florala
section; and the best part of 1t all is,
that the people have appreciated II.

by placing him in the honorable and
re spCnsible position which he is filling
so satisfactorily at the present time.
As editor in chief and business man
ager of the Florala Democrat, he has
made that excellent paper an organ for
the Advancement Of his section, and
the fine work which has already beee
done through the medium Of the Demo-

Mr.. Tyler came to Florala two years
ago from the Montgomery Journal
which paper he was editing in his own

Well known throughout the State
press Of both Alabama ard Florida,
he is man OF unusual influence,
fact which has meant q great deal
for Florala interests, too.
What the city wanted, and what Mr..
Tyler wanted, usually identical inter
ests, have been gone AFTER IN most
thorough manner, too by Florala's
chief booster, and it is because OF his
wise newspa per connection that Mr..
TYLER has been able TO be successful
in practically everything which he has
undertaken for his city.

Wheeler was the successive head OF
the family for three generations and
then came Horatio. who was the next
and the father of our subject. The
occupations OF the family appear to
have been in the tilling of the soil
and numbering. Horatio Wheeler was
born and reared in Vermont and spent
the greater part of his life in New
York, Ohio and Indiana. He lived a
quiet life, agriculture being his chos-
en- profession. The original wheeler
settled in New England and was
member of the famous Boston Tea
Party. The father of our subject
reared a family of four children and
died in Crawford county, where he
had lived since 1868. The children
were: Our subject, the oldest; Orvlll

served the city, the county and helped
develop the educational welfare OF
many. During his nine years service
as a member of the city council he
was in charge of the water depart
ment, and it is largely due to his
counsel and superintendency that
Denison now has the splendid wells
and miles of water mains. Without
extra remuneration Mr.. Wheeler gave
of his time toward development OF the
city water works. He was man OF
wide reading, sane judgment and
strong intelligence and in every de-
partment of city affairs he was
leader-in all things undertaken by
him there was an air of progress and
general good for the community.
For the past fourteen years Mr..
Wheeler served as manager OF the
Denison Electric Light & Power com
pany, and his management has been
such as to gain the utmost confidence
and commentator OF the officers and
stockholders of that company. Such
was that company's faith in Mr..
Wheeler that he was given free rem
in the management and was always
consulted before any change in help
or Improvement was made.
The home life OF deceased was
ideal, his devotion and affection Will
always be cherished as sweet mem

UNEXPECTED DEATH

Chicago, After Which Pneumonia
Causes Death in Short Time
REMAINS CONSCIOUS TO LAST
Remains Brought to Denison Sunday
and Funeral Today-Husband
and Children Present.

The sudden and entirely unlocked
for death of Mrs. Carl Gronau on Sat
urday last, at Chicago, where she had
undergone successful operation, was
the cause Of great sorrow among her
many Denison friends. Mrs. Gronau
went to Chicago January Sth for a
consultation with prominent physic-
ians regarding her health, and an op-
Grafton was found necessary. DR..
Murphy, of the Mercy hospital, one
of the most successful surgeons in
the country, performed the operation,
which proved entirely successful and
the patient was on the way to a
speedy recovery when pneumonia set
in and she died within few hours.
Her husband and daughter, Mrs. B..
]. Sibbert, were at her bedside at the
time of her death, Mrs. Sibbert hav-
ing rushed across the continent from
California in order to be with her
mother. The remains were brought
to Denison on Sunday morning and
the funeral was held this afternoon
at o'clock in the Methodist church.,
Rev. J. H. Senseney officiating.
Marie Heiden Gronau was born in
Nemerow, Germany, Jan. 7, 1852, and
came to America with her parents in
1869, settling in Jackson county,
Iowa. She was married to Carl
Gronau June "a, 1870, and lived two
years in Chicago, nine years in Jack
son county, Iowa, and removed to
Denison in the spring of 1881, where
they have since resided.
Four children were born to this
ssaion. Lena and William, who died of

In earlier days the Wheeler home on
fremont street was the scene of many
happy gatherings and the hospitality
shown was always of the most cor
dial.
AS lodge man the deceased was
charter member of Dowdall LoGese No.
80 Knights of Pythias and was the
second chancellor commander of that
order. Whenever health and time per-
mitted he attended the meetings OF
the lodge and took an active part and
because of his expressed wish the
Knights took charge of the funeral
services.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon at the home on Church
street and was largely attended. Rev.

sermon and pronounced an eulogy we'll
merited by deceased. Many beautiful

q prominent part in early history, and
later in all municipal affairs tending
toward the upbuilding of Denison and
it's industries. Ever since coming to
Denison Mr.. Wheeler had been in
active life until about two years ago,
when his health began failing-even
then he was loath to drop the business
reins and although weighted by dis
ease he continued at his post until
about a month ago he went to Omaha
to be near specialist. Bright's dis
ease and attending complications was
the cause of his death. In the his
tory of Crawford, Ida and Sac coun-
ties, published in 1898, we find the
following sketch of deceased:
Norman j. Wheeler-The name of
this gentleman is that of the efficient
city weigh master and superintendent
of the city water works of Denison.
Iowa. He is a native of Union county,
Ohio, where he was born Sept. IA,
1S41, and the son Of Horatio and
Eunice (Tucker) Wheeler. He was
reared in Indiana from his seventh
year in Porter county on a farm and
received his education in the public
schools of northern Indiana and at
VALPARAISO in that state and finished
with a course at Eastman's business
college in Chicago. At the age OF
twenty years he began teaching school
and continued at this for five terms in
Indiana. He then began farming
and carried that on for four years, at
the expiration of which time he came
TO Denison, Iowa, and was on the first
passenger train that ever entered the
city, Nov. IS, 1866. He Immediately
began teaching school and continued
at some clerical work in the mean
time. In the fall of 1870 he was cleo
ed county superintendent, which po-
sition he held for the following four
years. At the end of that time he en-
gagged with Mr.. Sprecher in his mer-
camille establishment and also in the
stock business. He took the man
agement for seven years of this busi-
ness, when he purchased stock and
conducted the whole business for
three years He disposed of it when
he took the Office of district clerk, to
which he had been elected. This Of
flee he filled for six years, to the sat
isfaction of all, and applied himself
so closely to his duties that he needed
a change of air when his term OF Of
flee expired. He enjoyed a year OF
travel and then took the position OF
manager of the water works of the
city. He had been member of the
council for nine years and was one OF
the main factors in securing the wa
ter works plant.

cial club held it's regular annual meet
ing and the election of officers at the
club rooms in this city. About forty
members of the club were present and
took active part in one OF the best
meetings in the history of the club
The election of officers for the com
ing year resulted as follows:
Sears McHenrv. President.
B. Brodersen, Vice President.
| J. T. Haugh, Treasurer.
w. c. Rollins, Secretary.
! Charles Bollen and G. L. Caswell,
Directors.
A number of informal talks We're
given by the outgoing and incoming
officers, which We're greatly enjoyed
by all. The work of the Commercial
club during the past year, under the
old officers, was most satisfactory,
and the club has done much for the
welfare of the city.
The Commercial club should be
given credit for Crawford county's
first annual short course, for it was
through the efforts of the club that
the short course was secured for Den
ison this year. While the short course
was for the benefit of the farmers of
Crawford county, the club realized
the benefits that could be derived
from it. During the past year the
club has taken steps to procure state
normal school at DenisOn, and every
effort is being made to have such a
school brought here. These are only
a few of the things that the CONNER
cial club have thought Of and have
endeavored to secure for the promo
ton of the welfare of the people of
Denison and Crawford county.
We understand that some of the
officials of the Northwesters railroad
will be in Denison Thursday of this
week to consult with the members OF
the Commercial club and city coun-
Gil as to the advisability of changing
the public highway near the McHen-
ry farm. There is some talk of run
ming the highway north of the tracks
in front of the McHenry farm and do
ing away with the crossing on which
seven deaths have occurred as the re-
suit of train accidents during the past
eighteen months. We understand
that the Northwestern will be asked
to install an automatic electrical bell
at this crossing for temporary pur
poses until such time as change in
the road will be made. This could be
done without much expense to the
company and would serve the pur.
pose of warning people of an ap
preaching trains.
The Commercial club, with its new
officers, suggests excellent prospects
for doing much good the coming year
With the many contemplated i'm
provements to take place the coming
season, there will be ample opportun
ity for the club to cooperate for the
benefit of the town and all concerned
One of the first steps, however, that
should be taken by the new officers
of the club is the betterment of the
roads. They should cooperate with
the board of supervisors toward the
