Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Weinheimer
aud their two little children and Mrs.
Weinheimer's mother, Mrs. Lizzie
Sheirbon arrived last Thursday evening
from their former home in Iowa. They
expect to remain here permanently.
A. L. Clarke passed away very sud
denly on the night following Christmas
at his pleasant home east of Odell.
Mr.. Clarke with his family and few
guests had enjoyed the day together
but in the evening he became i'll and
when a physician arrived be found him
beyond the need of medical skill.
Though a resident of this valley a COM
paratively short time, this neighbor
who has gone before he had won the
regard and esteem of those with whom
he had associated and his family and
friends have suffered loss which they
will feel keenly. Mr.. Clarke was an
Ancient Odd Fellow and Past Grand OF
Hassalo lodge, Portland. The funeral
services were held in Portland Mon
day. While this great shadow darkens
the home made beautiful for the holi-
day season the hearts Of many friends
ache for the soFrowing wife who in a
trifle more than a year has lost sister,
mother and husband, for the daughter,
the son and other bereaved relatives.
The Christmas play "a Spinner of
Dreams" presented under the auspices
of the Methods. Sunday school on
Christmas eve was the finest Christ
mas entertainment we have attended
in Odell. Mrs. II. X. Davenport, who
selected the play and worked faithfully
that those who were assigned the vari-
Gus parts might not lack the practice
necessary for perfect rendering Of
the program, deserves much credit for
its success. Those who gave of their
time and met for rehearsaIs may claim
their share in the honors as may also
those who assisted by contributing ar
ticles of furniture for fitting up the
stage. A. l.. Weinheimer, as business
manager was untiring and left not
even the smallest detail neglected.
A. j. Nelson, although busy with his
part in the play, did beautiful work
along the line of decorations. Mr..
and Mrs. j. E. Ferguson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Howard, as decorating com
mittee and Mrs w. II. Warner in charge
of the candy. nuts and bags for the
Christmas tree contributed their p0r.
tion toward the pleasure of the large
number who were present. All this
means work and plenty of ii, but what
is there worth winning that does not
require some outlay of time, talent and
money and we believe the reward meas
ures up according to effort put forth. /.
