.ARBELA MAN FOUND
DEAD IN BED
BODY HAD LAIN SEVEN DAYS
WHEN DISCOVERED
George B. Westcott. Respected Citizen of
Arbela, Died Alone During
Absence of Sister.

The body of George B. Westcott. for
many years respected resident of
Arbela. was found in bed at his home
in that township on Sunday last. on the
return from visit of his sister, Mrs.
ID. N. Guthrie, with whom he made
his home. Mr.. Westcott had last
been seen by neighbors on November
q which leads to the belief that he
died on the evening of that day.
His death was evidently due 20 heart
disease with which he had been
afflicted, and it is thought he had been
dead about seven days when the body
was discovered. He had evidently sat
down upon the bed and fell over upon
it before removing his clothing Geo.
B. Wescott was born in Adams county,
Illinois, Sept. IA, 1868; died Nov. 81,
1914, aged 81 years, mo, Is days.
Deceased came with his parents to
Tuscola Co. when he was three years
old where he resided at his death. At
the age of thirteen he entered the
Michigan School for the Deaf, remain
ing there for eight years. AS result
of his exemplary life and the kindness
he showed to his aged mother during
her last years he won the respect of all
who knew him. Two brothers and a
sister with large circle of lesser rela-
tives remain to mourn their loss. Fun
eral services, which were largely at
tended, were held at Arbela school
house on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. c.
w. Greene, officiating and the remains
were laid at rest in Arbela cemetery.

Mr.. Jennings and Mr.. Field stepped in.
Mary Mccormick had charge of tie
chapel exercises Monday morning. The
program was as follows: Solo, "Arline"

first place in the contest produced about
400 bushels, which shows that Mr..
Powers was only little behind, and his
crop was injured somewhat by water
standing on portion of the ground
during a part of the growing period.
A remarkable fact regarding the crop
is that Mr.. Powers originated the seed,
which among thousands of new varie-
ties originated each year, most of which
have no merit, has proven valuable
and very prolific. 1t is perhaps,
needless to say that Mr.. Powers
received a check for $4,000, week or
so ago, and that aside from its money
value, he was pardonably proud of it as
an evidence of the fertility of his farm
and of successful methods in cultivating
it. 1t may be of interest to state that
the men shown in the engraving, be-
ginning at the left are E. S. Cleveland,
Glenn Williams, Hugh Mccormick, c.
HI. Reed, E. L. Powers, l. R. Field and
Mr.. Gerlach, representative of the

The Rebekah Aid Society gave sup
per and quilt drawing at the I. @. 20, f.,
Hall, Tuesday evening, Ed. Smith, of
Clio, holding the lucky number. ll3.
The quilt cover was donated by Mrs. A.
Parker and was pieced by her mother.
who was about 80 years old. A little
history is connected With the quilt and
it really seems as though fate had a
hand in bestowing it. Some years ago
Mrs. Ed. Smith took her pieces to Mrs.
Dunn, Mrs. Parker's mother, to have a
quilt made giving the latter the pieces
which were left and of which this quilt
was made, so that it has a rich senti-
mental value to its owner. and Mr..
Smith thinks that after this that when
the Rebekahs ask him to buy another
ticket he will never refuse. The sup
per and drawing was very pleasant
affair and largely attended.
