OBITUARY..
HOCHSTETLER,

| |$A~'>s
Hilpah E. Pease daughter of Shoble
M. and Mia Everett Pease was born at
Elkhart, Indiana, Feb. 8, 184l. Her
parents were active workers in the
Methodist Episcopal church with which
she united at an early age, remaining a
member throughout life.
Ten years of her early womanhood
were devoted to the school work of her
day in which she was considered very
successful. In her 9th year she was
married to J.. NJ. Hochstetler at Co.
shen, Ind, where they lived until the
spring Of 1868 when they moved to
Dexter, Iowa, locating on wild prai-
rie farm, the site of the present home
| stead.
Their household goods were hauled
overland from Des Moines, then the
end of the Chicago, Rock Island which
was extended through Dexter the fol-
lowing summer.
The principal part of the lumber for
their first modest little home was also
hauled overland from Des Moines. Into
this home were born five children, all
Of whom are still living and were pres
ent at her bedside to minister to her
comfort during her last illness: Chas.
H., Name and Everett E. of Dexter,
Ia, Mrs. Callison, Of this city and Mrs.
Theo. Davis, Of Crosby, N. D.
Being very slight Of stature and not
accustomed to the privations Of pioneer
life, or even life on a farm, she was
somewhat at disadvantage at the be-
ginning Of her home building career
but with the earnestness which charac-
terized her girlhood, she began making
the most Of her surroundings. During
her most active womanhood her home
was:sone of generous. hospitality Ito
friends and new Corners alike. The
key to her entire life is locked up in
the one word neutrality-suspicious. first
to her husband, her home, and her
family and then to her friends and &C.
quaintances which she numbered by the
score.
No more beautiful life ever passed the
portals connecting Earth and Heaven
than passed SO quietly you could almost
hear the hutter Of the Angels wings as
they welcomed her to the other shore
just before dawn on the morning OF
Feb. 9th.
For number Of years she has been in
poor health and most of this time has
been spent with her daughter Mrs. s.
Caltisou, now Of Cresco, but formerly
of Dexter, Iowa. Her illness was of
such nature as to require the most deli
cate care, especially at times, but dur
ing it all she seemed to have implicit
confidence in her daughters Judgment
and never failed to express her graft
tude. One of her last remarks was:
II love everybody. You have all been
so kind to me-
After short service conducted by
Rev. kirwiu at the home of Mrs. CALI
son her remains were accompanied by
her husband, J. M. Hochstetler, Mr..
and Mrs. S. Callison and daughter
Ruth, Name Hochstetler and Mrs.
Davies to Dexter, Iowa, where prior to
interment the funeral service was con-

The Panama Canal was opened for
business last Saturday and several ships
passed through without difficulty. The
formal opening OF the canal with impos-
ing ceremonies will take place next March.
The completion of the Panama Canal
marks the accomplishment OF the great
est and most useful work ever wrought
by human effort upon the face OF the
earth. The dream of men for four hun
dred years has been realized, for the first
discoveries and explorers in America saw
the ACCESSIBILITY OF making waterway
across the narrow neck of land that Sepa-
rates the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Navigators OF all the ages have dreaded
the long and costly and dangerous jour-
ney down the coasts OF South American
and around the stormy Cape Horn.
What boon 10 humanity is the opening
OF a calm and peaceful way for ships
through the beauty and safety OF a tropi-
cal garden, between daylight and dark, if
need be, with all the protection that
modern invention Can provide
The canal has taken almost ten years
in its construction, and is finished some
six months ahead OF Schedule time. The
first cost was estimated at $4,000, 600.
Then it was figured that il would require
$3.50, 100000, and when Colonel Goethals
was put in charge of the work he placed
his estimate very much higher. The
actual cost will probably be about $780,
100000. The French company that first
made The effort TO build the canal under
the management OF de LeSSeps spent
$l37, 100000, which was dead loss, as
the enterprise proved an utter failure.
1t is a source OF national pride 10 know
that this stupendouS work has been car
ried out through the genius and enter
