less to preserve the frail spark OF life
but it cheered his soul as it fastened
back to it's Creator.
His mortal career was full OF am
bition. The high ideals of his relig-
ion, fostered and nurtured by Chris
tian home influences, had formed and
guided mis- noble character. From
youth he was Industrious and this
quality developed with his intellectual
and physical growth. 1t was the
keynote of his life and yet he reached
only after the better things. From
the time when he entered the part
nership with his father and brothers
dates the steady rise of the firm to
largest business concern of the city.
His undivided attention and energy
were given to the growth and i'm
movement of the firm. He labored
long and assiduously and was able to
see but partially the fruits of his
sacrifices and work. His ambitious
nature extended itself to public activ-
tiles. A public movement or general
benefit always founu an ardent sup
porter in Hubert F. Alt.
His cheerful optimistic view of
life, even in his greatest anxieties
shone into the lives of everyone who
met him in a business or social way.
Hubert's genial disposition turned
every acquaintance into a friend.
What greater proof is needed of the
respect and esteem Lancaster had for
him than the silent tribute of its
closed business places during his fun
eral and large concourse of sorrowing
friends and associates which gathered
at the last sad rites.
He was young man of achieve
ments. He fought winning fight.
His uncommon integrity prepared
place for him in the realms of heroes,
His only conqueror was the Almighty
but what sweet conquest it was
He died as he had lived-a Christian
longing to be with his Savior. His
memory will never pass from those
who knew him. j. Z. b

MARGARET EVANS CALVERT

Margaret Evans Calvert was born
in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 10,
1843. When but very young child
che moved with her parents to Wis
consin when they located on farm
near Cassville. Here her child
hood was spent. Several years of
her young womanhood were spent
attending the Institute in Lancaster,
with Mr.. Page as Principal. Later
she engaged in the millinery business
in Lancaster.
On July &c, 1875, she was married
to Thomas Martin Calvert and went
to make her home in the south. To
this union three children were born,
namely, Clara NJ. Calvert, teacher
in the Spokane schools, Clarence M.
Calvert of this city, and Mamie E.
Calvert, stenographer in the U. S.
Land office in Miles City, Montana
When the youngest child was still
baby, the father died leaving the
mother with three little children.
Her life was one of devotion and
self sacrifice, first in the care of her
three children, then in caring for her
aged parents. With it all she was
cheerful. and strong in her faith
in her Christ.
Just as it seemed that her earthly
cares and hardships were over and
she could enjoy her remaining years,
the Lord called her to be with her
many loved ones who had gone be-
fore. She was. ready to go for she
had fought the good fight and was
prepared to hear her Masters "WeH
DONE"
Funeral services by her pastor, Rev.
H. A. Studebaker from Congregational
church. One of Gods beautiful
lives has been translated from earth
to glory to help make brighter the
eternal sunshine of the everlasting
city. We who are left behind may
not; we can not comprehend. We
can only trust that He who doeth
all things we'll has for her richer
service. This is our joyful com
pensation.

EDWARD D. NIckSON

Again the shadow OF death has dark
ened our peaceful little valley and ere
we could realize it the soul of one of
our most highly respected and noblest
citizens had been selected for the beau
tifying of the Fathers Home. All that
skilled surgeons and loving, tender
hands could do was done to try and
stay deaths hand but, he had heard the
call of the Father and on Wednesday
evening as the hour of ten drew near
he called his sorrowing family to his
bedside and after bidding them all
farewell the mists of earth slowly lifted
leaving the pearly gate ajar where he
met his Master, face to face.
Edward D. Nickson was born Deem
Der 80, 1874, at Mcknight, Iowa, and
died July IA, 1915, at Platteville, Wis.,,
aged 90 years z months and Is days,
October, 1884, Mr.. Nickson, then a
lad of 10 years, came with his parents
to Rockville where he has since made
his home.
On November 2, 1904 he was united
in marriage to Mary Korber, of Rock
vile. To this union were born three
children, the eldest, little Lille Marie,
dying in infancy on June 8, 1907. The
other children, Edward and Loren,
aged and years respectively, to-
gether with the sorrowing mother,
mourn the loss of devoted father and
husband.
While grooming horse the 10th of
last February he was kicked by the an
imal and was taken at once to Platte
vile where very painful operation
was performed at the Cunningham hos
pital. He recovered from this and to
his family and friends he seemed almost
as we'll as before the accident, but the
bruises did not heal as well as had been
hoped, and on Sunday, July IL, he was
taken very liz. Drs. McGovern and
Cunningham were called and found it
necessary to perform the second opera
ton. He was taken to Platteville Mon
day and the operation performed at 2
o'clock. From the first the doctors
gave the family no hope. He retained
consciousness to the very last and
although aware of the fact that the end
was near not once did the kind voice
falter or the dying lips utter COM
plant but he bravely smiled at his dear
ones and without a struggle the soul
left the tired body and stood before its
maker.
Besides the sorrowing wife and chill
dren he is survived by an aged father,
an invalid mother and three sisters,
Mrs. E. Wunderlin and Mrs. Louis
Korber of Platteville, and Mrs. Will
Vesperman ofRockville, and two broth
ers. Ernest Of Milwaukee and Delbert,

Word Cures.

Curing by words" was common in

No Difficulty in Settlement
Is Expected.

WASHINGTON. April indemnity
Tor the full value OF the American ship
William Z. Frye. destroyed at sea by
the German converted cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich has been formally re-
quested from Germany by the United
States government.
Acting Secretary Lansing an.
nounced today that a note ON the sub
Ject had been sent to Ambassador
Gerard for presentation to the foreign
office at Berlin. Pending its receipt
In Berlin. the document will not be
public. but II was described officially
today as a recital OF the facts and n
presentation OF a claim for damages
on behalf of the owners OF the vessel.
No representations were made con
cernig the cargo since. il was estab-
hshed after an investigation by the
state department that IL was sold en-
route and was British owned at the
time OF the sinking.
The American government contends
in the note that the commander of the
Eitel was not warranted in destroying
the Frye. because IL could not law
fully have been condemned as a prize
had II been taken into aprize court.
The destination OF the cargo was a
private firm in England. the Ameri-
can government learned. and the
wheat could not therefore have been
considered as contraband.
The general belief in Official quar-
ters here has been that the case would
be settled without difficulty.
