Lighting Hits
Medina Home

During the terrific electric and rain
storm of Tuesday afternoon the house
Of. w. H. Cole, 572 South Broadway,
caught fire and but for the quick ac-
ton of the local fire department would
have been destroyed.
AS near as can be determined light
ming struck a wire nearly block
north Of the Cole home, ran directly
into the house and into the meter,
which was in a closet in the chamber,
creating a flame. Above the meter
was shelf upon which rested num-
Der of books. It was doubtless this
fact that saved the house from COM
plete destruction. The fire burned
the support from one end Of the shelf,
allowing the books to slide off on the
floor. Mrs. Cole heard the noise and
opened the chamber door to investi-
gate. She reports that the chamber
was then full of smoke and flame.
She hastily turned in an alarm and
the alacrity with which the volunteer
department arrived on the scene is
nothing short Of remarkable.
The FIRE was subdued with the
chemical apparatus, although it was
necessary to use the engine before
the FIRE was extinguisbed.
The closet contained all the cloth
ing and shoes Of the family except
what was on their persons, and was
totally destroyed. There was insur-
ance on the house for $4,000 and on
the household goods for $400. Mr.
Cole places the damage at $1,000.
Mr.. Cole is enthusiastic over the
work of the local fire department.

MARRIED AT EARLY MORN

Two Of Medina's best known young
people were united in marriage Tues
day morning, Sept. /, when Mr.. Ray
mond Long and Miss Lucille Hem
meter became husband and wife at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Daniel Hemmeter, on Wash
ington street. The groom is a son of
Mrs. Mary X. Long, proprietor Of the
Sentinel, with which the former is
actively associated. The bride is a
musician of marked ability and de-
servedly popular with our people.
Besides Rev. Phillip Kelser, who per-
formed the ceremony, the only ones
who witnessed the marriage were the
brides parents. The happy couple
left Immediately for Cleveland, from
where they will start on an extended
honeymoon journey which will take
them to Buffalo, Cincinnati and many
other cities, and as far south as Ten
nessee. They expect to be gone for
about three weeks.
ION account Of the Sphinx-like ret
icence of the groom for the past few
weeks concerning the date of his mar
riage and the approximate hour set
for his departure, the writer had
foresworn vengeance upon him, to be
gratifed on the printed page. But
as the newly-wed were driven past
the office Tuesday morning, frantic as
we were, we softened in the radiance
Of the smiles that greeted us, and will
be content with extending our con-
gratulations and best wishes. -Ed.)

Hunting Season
Opened Sept. /

On the first Of September the hunt
ing season opened and the indications
are that the number of people who
will take out hunting licenses will be
fully as large as it was last year.
These permits can be secured from
the clerks Of the various townships or
at the Office Of County Clerk Hatch.
Squirrels are reported to be plentiful
in this section of the state and as for
rabbits there will be a great abund-
ance, for on every country road ada
cent to woods you can see them
scurrying out of the way of the auto
mobiles. If a man hunts on his own
premises he doesn't need license but
in all other cases he does. Also he
must wear a badge bearing the num-
Der Of his license. d.

Abner Bishop
Dies Suddenly

Another man is stricken from the
ever-lessening roll Of our old settlers.
About $50 Wednesday evening Mr..
Abner B. Bishop Of 1873 North Court
street was found dead in the lavatory
Of his home by his niece, Miss Della
Hartman, a member of the house.
hold. The writer had exchanged
greetings with him on the street no
longer than three hours before his
death.
Mr.. Bishop was one Of the best
known men in Medina. He had re-
sided here for 43 years and had been
actively engaged in the carriage and
wagon business, both as a manufac-
turer Of and dealer in vehicles during
all that time.
The deceased was born in Wooster,
November, 1910, and had he lived until
his next birthday anniversary would
have rounded out IA years. He was
veteran Of the Civil war. Although his
service as a soldier was not so extern
sive as some, yet he was prompt to
respond when the call was made.
He was married in 1866. The fruits
of the union were four sons and one
daughter, all Of whom survive. The
wife and mother departed this life
about three years ago. The children
are DR.. Hudson Bishop, DR.. Geo. Bis
hop, and DIR. Elroy V. Bishop of
Cleveland; Homer Bishop of Oshkosh,
Wis, and Mrs. L. B. Lyman of Tai
madge, o. The sons were able to
reach here shortly after their fathers
death, but Mrs. Lyman is encamped in
Michigan, several miles from direct
communication and had not been
heard from Thursday afternoon.
The deceased was Christian man.
He had filled the various relations of
life as son, husband, father, brother,
friend and filled them we'll. Who can
do more? 1t
The funeral has been delayed until
Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock, east
ern time, in the hope that the daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lyman, may be enabled to
reach here in time to attend. The SER
vice will be conducted by Rev. H.
Samuel Fritsch of the Congregational
church, of which the deceased was a
member.
