OBITUARY WILLIAM HoARE.
Ry KAY. NJ. j. q. Rond

by heN. w y. <. hond.
William Hoare was born near Truro
the metropolis Of the county of Corn
wall, England, Nov. %, 1886, and en-.
tered the more perfect state of exist.
ence about three O'Clock Tuesday after.
noon, Sept. H. 1915, being therefore
10 years, Q months and Is days of age.
When about years of age he came
with his parents to Mineral Point, the
last stage of the long wearisome jour
ney of over 1900 miles being completed
in a wagon drawn by oxen. He has
remained in this vicinity during the
more than 70 years that have elapsed
since then and at the time of passing
was among the the very few of those
pioneers who still fingered, weary, per-
haps, with the limitations imposed up
on them by multiplied years and look
ing forward 10 their approaching
change.
Mr.. Hoare was best known in the
two circles which so largely contained
bis life, the home and the church. As
the oldest son of large family he ex-
hlbited a disposition. which has been
better understood and more fully recog-
nlzed with the passing of the years.
He was converted when but a youth
and was a dilgent student of the word
OF God. In early life he earnestly de-
sired to become minister of the Cos
pei. Two calls were echoing through
his heart that of home, and which ut
that particular time could i'll afford to
give him up, and the call of the church.
But with the spirit of self sacrifice he
yielded to the visible demands of the
home and remained with his parents
and the family to be pillar of strength
to them at a period Of life when his
presence ana aid were invaluable,
There came again a call to him to
which he would gladly have responded.
1t was the call Of his country to help
save the union, but his brother James
was younger, scarcely eighteen, and
William could fill larger place than
he at home, and so he yielded his wishes
for the good of father, mother and the
family and James went Great indeed
was the type of that manhood which
could sink itself into the depth of self
denial and disappointment and amidst
it all courageousy pursue the plans of
life, which charged the bent of his own
inclinations.
Deceased was Christian man. He
was long Sunday school teacher and
a class leader His christian life was
not one that consisted largely in open
declarations. He was somewhat reti-
cient or backward in such expressions
but his life was an cpistle read and
known by all.
There remains of the immediate fam
lily, the five brothers James, Richard,
Joseph Martin and Frank, and one
sister Mrs Dunstan These will all
revere the memory Of their Oldest
brother, whose life meant so much to
every one of them.
The funeral took place on Thursday
afternoon and was conducted by his
pastor, Rev w. ]. G. Bond, assisted
by Rev. John Hardcastle of Plattevile.

BOSWELL CONSERVATIVE

Quincy papers are carrying big
stories on the rate victory which
Keokuk and the upper river crossings

the Quincy freight bureau who went
through the fight for Quincy last fall,

Quincy wins her freight rate case,

The greatest Industrial factor of re-

and Quincy, hard fighting. ever-alert,
victorious Quincy, gets the decision in

This decision Is one of the most
important that has ever been made
so far as Quincy is concerned. Had
the decision been reversed 1t would
have meant the death knell Of
Quincy's manufacturing prospects, is
the Herald's view.
The history OF this rate case is a
