A handsome youth ! did ensnair,
His name was Robert BOwsher.
Through veal and woe, through hot
and cold,
I've been his Queen, his Frau sir:
And he to me, though growing old,
Is still the same-Robert B0wsher.
Our years together are fifty-four;
Years fraught with care and joy;
I'd like to live as many more,
And still have Robert for my
''boy."
Yes, smile or frown, care not which,
If health and love our lives en-
twine,
We may be poor, yet ever rich,
For Robert is my Valentine.

ter of Roy and Elma Beavers and
leaves besides her parents to mourn
her death, four brothers, Lester,
Claire, Newell, and Ebert, four
grandparents and number of rela-
tives and friends. She was an un-
usually bright child of happy low
ing disposition and beloved by all
who knew her. She was sick but
one day and the sudden demise of
one so young is a severe shock to
the loved ones. The funeral was held
at the Union church, conducted by
Rev. Duling of Garden Grove, and
interment followed at the Lentz
cemetery, where a large concotrsc of
sorrowing relatives and friends paid
their last respects to one SO dear.
The beautiful flowers sent by the

not receive less than two per cent in
terest on the daily balances.

ton passed by the last legislature,
and is made part of Section 2754
