buried with her.
S& The pail bearers were Fred B. and
Charles e. Hilliker, of Des Moines;
Earl, Lester, Lynn and Arthur Gard
ner, of Leon, six cousins who deeply
reciprocated the love held for them
in life by the still form they so ten
derly lowered into the friendly bosom
of mother earth.
May she find peace beyond the
grave, the peace she longed for in
this life!
Laura Lindsey, second daughter of
Hiram A. and Mettie Pitman Lind
sey, was born in Leon, Iowa, April
Is, 1881, and departed this life ut
Magdalena, New Mexico, August 20.
1914, aged 33 years, 4 months and
Ii days.
On August 3, 1897, she was united
in marriage at Mount Ayr, Iowa,
with Mr.. c. e. Bowman, of Leon, and
to this union was born one son,
Chester c., who died February 13,
1913. The death at the age Of
fifteen of this manly son, his mothers
pride and hope of future happiness,
added crushing weight of sorrow
to the already heavy burdens of her
young life "and to the day of her
death she was victim of periodical
dependency which could not be over
come. Despite the tender, loving at
tentions and consolation of those who
knew and loved her best, her life was
very lonely and her greatest wish,
frequently expressed, was to be laid
quietly to sleep meath the green
grass of the hillside beside her boy
whose passing on had dimmed for
her forever the bright visions of fp-
ture comfort and happy, tranquil
days to come.
In 1911 an attack of lung trouble
caused physicians to order her to
COLORADO, where she met and was
married on June 4, 1912, to Mr.. John
Pavlopolus at Golden, Colorado. For
almost a year past she had been liv-
ing at Albuquerque, New Mexico, go
ing recently to the dry air and health
full climate of Magdalena, peaceful
little mountain town of the same
state.
Laura was loving, devoted moth
er, an affectionate daughter and sis
ter, and leaves behind her to the ones
who understood and dearly loved her,
innumerable testimonials of her un-
selfish devotion in the midst of over
whelming personal sorrow. Early in
life she joined the Christian church;
in Leon and always retained firm
belief in the goodness and mercy of
God.
She is survived by mother, Mrs.
Mettie Pitman Lindsey, sister,
Louise c. Lindsey, of Rice, Arizona,
and numerous other relatives who,
trusting in the beautiful promises of
the Redeemer, find comfort and hope
in the thought that He who marks
the sparrow's fall, knows best. To
Him we leave it ALL

Peppermint Raised in Decatur
County.

About a year ago w. X. Macy OF
Garden Grove planted two rods OF
peppermint in his garden. In July
he harvested his first crop, made a
crude plant for extracting the oil, and
proceeded to manufacture peppermint
oil. After distillation he had about
one pound of product, that looked
good to him. He sent sample TO
the Chemist at Ames College, who
made analysis, and reported it fair
grade of peppermint oil, worth five
dollars per pound. The experiment
was on so small scale that there
was more expense than profit, but it
the fact that pepper
mint can be grown here and manu-
factured at profit of from $3.50 to
5000 per acre. Mr.. Macy is the first
man to raise and extract the oil from
peppermint west of the Mississippi
river. He expects to plant two acres
next year, and If it proves as profit
able and successful as his first expert
ment, he will engage extensively in
the business, and will erect plant
equipped with modern methods and
machinery for the manufacture of
oil. This will open up a
new industry in this part of the cOun-
try, and may add materially to the
value of our lands. Mr.. Macy g
further experiments will be: awaited
with much interest, and we hope will
not be disappointing to anyone as to
results.
