John Mcdaniel.

John Mcdaniel was born in White
county, Mo-, Oct. %, 1887, and died
at his home in Leon Iowa, March
81, 1915, aged IS years, 5 month s
and days. He with his parents
came to Iowa in 1851, and with the
exception of a few years spent in
Kansas and Missouri has resided
continuously in Decatur county, be-
ing one of the Oldest settlers.
On Nov. 25, 1860, he was united
in marriage to Mary Pauline Still,
and to this union were born eleven
children, four Of whom have been
called to the other world, three dy-
ing in infancy, and Barney dying at
the age of a years. Those living
are Samuel, of Idaho, William and
Edward, of Granite Falls, Wash,
Mrs Matte Broom, of Coy, Okla,
Harve, of Davis City, Iowa, and Mary
and Anna remain at home. On ac-
count of sickness only three of his
children were present to fulfill the
last sad rites to his memory. He
was kind, indulgent father and a
true, loyal companion, it was his un-
firing care of his invalid wife that
caused his general breakdown, as
old age had so weakened his consti-
tuition that he was not able to bear
the heavy strain of the deep worry
and care which came from sleepless
nights and long watchful days. And
through his kindness and loyalty he
could not bear the thought of send
ing her away for others to care for,
but about three weeks before his
death he voluntarily requested that
she be sent to the hospital for treat
ment and care, as he thought that it
would be too great strain on his
fragile daughters to care for their
mother as he had.
Early in life the deceased was
converted and he has fought a good
fight, lived good life, SO that when
death came he was ready to go, as
he expressed to members of his fam
lily that he longed for the time when
he could join the great throng' on
the other side of the river.
He is survived by his aged COM
panion, seven children, one brother,
Henry Mcdaniel, and sister, Mrs.
Malissa Miller, of Kansas, and other
relatives.
The body was taken from Leon to
New Salem church on Friday, April
2, 1915, whore the funeral was held
the services being conducted by Rev.
Dale, who read as scripture lesson
End Cor. 5, using as text Phil. ):

tenderly laid to rest beside his child

Clean 'em up-Paint 'em up!

MACHINE TAKEN, BUT
 NO CHARGES PLACED

The sherffs office rounded up day before yesterday. a bell boy from the Commercial and q bevy of young men and ladies from round town. who had appropriated the large Buick touring car of Jim Cashion of Cashion.
 Mr. Cashion who was stopping at the Commercial, sent the bell hop to the Buick garage to get his ma chine. and bring it round to the hotel.
 Evidently the lad had an over whelming passion for speed. and longed to take the car out and not only step on her, but stand on the throttle for a while.
 The car failed to put in it's ap- pearance in due time and the sher- ifs office was notified. Deputy Jm Murphy. started out after the car. and finally found it with its occupants down near the river, where the bunch of young folks were having a great time with their newly acquired automobile
 The deputy brought them all back to the Commercial, telling them all what a terrible thing it was to ap- propriate even for a few hours a machine that did not belong to them. He lined them up in the lobby of the hotel and there delivered a lecture that was strcng on results if not On rhetoric.
 They were all thoroughly scared. and visions of spending the next few years of their young lives in the prison at Florence were floating around in all directions. Finally they were told they were not under arrest. as MT. Cashion appreciating that young people liked to have good times occasionally, was not disposed 10 place any charge against them
