VISITOR TO LAKELAND
NE|GHb0R To OLDEST
Elk IN j. 5.

Mr.. w. l.. Parker. of Owosso
Mich. who came to Lakeland witt
his wife a few weeks ago for the
benefit of his health, which has been
greatly benefited, we are glad tc
learn, is a prominent Elk in his
home town and takes pride in the
fact that the oldest Elk in the world
lived in his home town. His death
few days ago, at the age of 1O9
years, attracted wide attention. OF
his life, the Owosso Press American
says
Daniel O'Connell aged lO9 years
and the oldest Elk in the world, died
at the home of his son, Michael
O'Connell, in Burns township Satur-
day morning. A slight cold con-
tracted a few weeks ago, gradually
became worse and with the infirmi-
ties of advanced age. caused the
death of the old man. A delegation
of Byron Elks have gone to the
O'Connell home to offer any assist
ance il can and to make arrange
ments for the funeral.
The life of Mr.. O'Connell has been
an interesting one. Born in County
Cork, Ireland, he grew up there,
married and raised family. In mid
die life he came to America, bring
ing his family with him. The trip
was made in sailing boat and re
quired several weeks. Near New
foundland the boat was becalmed
and the immigrants were forced to
remain there several days. While
there however, they replenished
their fast diminishing larder by
fishing.
In 1911, the Owosso lodge of Elks
"discol cred" Daniel and asked him
to join the lodge At that time he
was 1O6 years old, and was the old
est man who ever took the degree
work He went to Detroit with the
lodge to attend the national conven-
ton of Elks and enjoyed himself
greatly Naturally he was a big at
traction and his presence was ad-
vertised all over the country, EX-
allied Ruler NJ. J. Phillips OF the
Owosso lodge accompanied the old
man wherever he went
Despite his greatly advanced age,
Daniel was far from helpless. Until
he was taken i'll, he thought nothing
of walking to Byron a distance OF
seven miles, and return. He split
the wood for the cook stove at his
sons home The old gentleman used
to spend hours rowing on the small
lake near his home. Since he be-
came a member of Owosso lodge the
old man frequently came to OWosso
to attend meetings and took lively
interest in them. He was slightly
deaf.
The deceased has a sister, "a years
old in a Detroit convent.

WHITE WAY OPERATED
BY SPECIAL system

The White Way has been inspect
ed and accepted by the City of Lake
land and payment of the contracts
for same are being made to the First
National bank by the public-spirited
citizens who rendered it possible by
s:conding the efforts of the Lakeland
Board of Trade.
No improvement, of the many no.
table ones that have been made
within the past two or three years,
forms a more attractive or effective
advertisement for Lakeland than
the White Way. 1t is commented
on by every visitor who comes to the
city, and it is a source of pride and
pleasure to our citizens.
I'm this connection it may be said
that very ingenious and effective
system for controlling the White
Way lights has been installed by
r. l.. Raffo, superintendent of the
light and water plant. By this ar
rangement time device automatic
ally extinguishes all lights of the
system except the top globe of each
cluster at II o'clock every night.
The top lights are also turned off
by the same automatic arrangement
between 4:30 and 5 o'clock in the
morning. This is probably the first
system of this kind put in operation
in the State, and it's successful in
stalation and satisfactory WORKINGS
form high testimonial to Mr., Raf-
fo's ability as an electrician.
