OBITUARY

Betsey NJ. Proctor Blood was born
in Newbury, New Hamshire on the
18Th. day of Nov, 1825-Was united
in marriage TO Haley H. Blood in
Dec. 1858 in Claremont n. H.
They came to Wisconsin in April
1889, and in the fall of that year,
bought what is known as the Blood
Homestead, in this city and lived
continuously on the same until Dec.
18th. 1910 when she went with her
brother to California where she has
resided since, with him or his
daughter Mrs. w. B. Coy. Since
going to California her health has
been good until four months ago,
when she contracted the whooping
cough through sympathy for lit
tie grand nephew, son of Mrs. Coy.
This finally terminated in an attack
of bronchial pneumonia which caus-
ed her death on the goth day of this
month. She retained her senses
until the very last and shook hands
with her little nephew not more than
two minutes before her final breath.
Mrs. Blood always a great home
body-was a noble mother an aft
ectionate sister, true friend and
loved neighbor, as many will wit
ness who knew her during her resi-
dence of fifty years in this city. To
these friends and neighbors with
whom she lived for so many years
to you for your presence and sym
patty at the funeral service, her
relatives wish to extend heartfelt
thanks.
At the time of death Mrs. Blood
was SO years months and 5 days
old. "She came to her grave in
full age, like as shock of corn
ccmeth in its season."
Mrs. BIood's remains were
brought to this city from Sebasto-
pol, Cal, accompanied by her
brother and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
D. D. Proctor. The funeral took
place Monday afternoon, services
being conducted at the grave in
Greenwood cemetary by Rev. G. A.
Bird.

AN EMPLOYMENT BUREAU AT
THE NORMAL.

Over 800 of the students who are
to attend the River Falls Normal
School this fall have communicated
with the school to find work to do in
connection with their course. This
has led the school to consider more
seriously than ever before the prob.
lem of such part-time work for stud
ents in RESIDENCES. An employ
ment bureau has been formed which
will do all in its power to gather
and distribute work for every stu
dent who may need or wish to do it..
1t is the wish of the River Falls
State Normal school that every per-
son who has or is likely to have
Jobs permanent or temporary, would
communicate with the school SO
that the work may be turned over
to some deserving student. The
name of each student who wishes
work will be filed, together with
the times at which the student is
available, and the sort of work
wanted. The jobs which come in
will also be filed in the same way
and every effort will be made to see
that job and student get together as
quickly as possible.
Some scattering work has been
sent into the school during the past
years, but it is the feeling that
there is much more work which
might be turned in which has not
come to the notice of the normal
office. 1t is hoped, therefore, that
every person who has work will
communicate with Miss West at the
normal Office before the opening Of
the school, if possible. Places on
farms or in town where students
may live and earn board and lodging
in spare time, or places where stu
dents may do regular work at stat.
ed times are especially desired by
the school. Temporary jobs, how
ever, skilled or unskilled, are earn.
estly solicited.
