Laid to Rest

Fl. H. Revercomb, better known
as Tip" was born September g.,
1910, i'll Bath Counts; was married
to Miss Harriet Cleek in the year
OS66. Their union was blessed by
two daughters, Emma and Sallie.
Sallie preceded her father to the
grave fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Revercomb had not been
real well for some time, but was
only confined to his bed about a
week. and his condition was not
considered critical by his physician
or his friends until a day or two
before his decease. On April s,
1915 at ITO p. m. the death
angel called him home. His loved
ones were with him in his last
moments. His end was calm and
peaceful. While dying, his daugh-
ter read 23rd Psalm, and made a
very impressive prayer.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Phipps assisted by
Rev. Murray on April 10, at IL
O'Clock at his late residence.
His popularity in the commun
ity was demonstrated by the large
conccurse of people assembled to
pay their last tribute of respect,
and by the beautiful floral offering.
Mr.. Revercomb had been a
resident of the Williamsville neigh
horhood for almnst thirty two
years. To know was to admire
him. He had been consistent
member of the Presbyterlon church
since early manhood, an elder for
many years.
He leaves an aged wife, one
brother, Charles, of Clifton Forge,
sister, Mrs. James Ropner, Of
Warm Springs, and a daugh ter,
Mrs. Chas. Mccormick, with host
of relatives and friends TO mourn
for him, but they mourn not with
out hope, having the blessed as
surance that he is at rest He was
good, kind neighbor, alwas ready
to administer to the wants of the
needy and afflicted. We extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family and pray the
Lords richest blessing upon them
! in this the hour of their great
sorrow. A neighbor

MRS. LOUISE HALE STEPHENSON

Death has entered our Circle and
claimed for his own our beloved
organizer and former President,
Mrs. Louise Hale Stephenson.
Realizing that God is too wise to
err and at the same time recording
our feelings of the great loss su-
stained by our organization in be-
ing deprived of the wise counsel and
loving sympathy of her who had
the work so much at heart, we
therefore wish to place on record
the following resolutions:
First: That our Chatauqua has
lost an earnest and efficient mem
Der, the memory of whose impress
and example will point us to a
higher plane of living.
Second: That we share deeply
In t { sorrow that has fallen upon
aer loved ones - To them we extend
our heartfelt sympathy.
Third: That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the

How to Have Chickens
that Will Lay Lots of Eggs

In an interesting article in the
current issue of Farm and Firesi lie
entitled, "Is Sex and Accident"
appears the following:
eff splendid layer is mated
with an ordinary cock, the pullets
will be just ordinary layers, but
the cockerels will inherit the egg
laying character of their mother
and stamp this on their own
daughters, about half of which will
be as good layers as their grand
mother on their fathers side. Just
read this sentence over again, and
it will not appear as complicated
as perhaps it did at first.
1.-The lesson from all this is: If
You waut your hens to be good
layers. always select breeding cocks
from the sons of good-laying hens. )"
