Neither the father nor the dangii.

They lived within their scanty
means, and what they could not raise

gift OF a little milk by the neighbors
was refused. They always insisted
on paying for it. - Il
Charles Cords was their nearest
neighbor. He rented from them the
twenty acres ."
For some time the old man had
been troubled with rheumatism and
general debility Yesterday he was

asked whether she should not send

rather have n minister and the pas

ministered spiritual comfort, to the
dying man. '''a1 ''"'
The dwelling where the father and
daughter lived had but one room.
which was a bed room, dining room

was nothing but a stovepipe project

Mr.. Newman came 10 this country
from Germany in 1866. For a time
he lived in. Illinois. working there as
section hand. Later he lived at
New Ulm and then in Mankato.
where he made his home IN 1874. BY
careful saving he managed to get
enough money together to buy 1T
tie land, and on the twenty acres
that he left, he spent his last years.
His wife died twelve years ago. 's
