OLDEST ODD
FELLOW GONE
John Edmiston Dies At Grab Orchard
In 91st Year-Splendid Citizen
In Every Way

John Edmiston, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of Lin
coin county, and perhaps at the time
of his death the oldest Odd Fellow in
Kentucky, passed away at the home
of his son, DR.. w. ]. Edmiston at
Crab Orchard at O'CLOCK Wednesday
morning.
Sixty-two years ago, in 1854, Mr..
Edmiston joined the order of which
he was so long menber. and he was
the last of the charter members OF
Crab Orchard Lodge No l03. He had
been repeatedly honored by his bro
theirs of this great order, and until
the end always took an active inter-
est in its work for humanity. He was
laid to rest in the Widows and Or
phans' lot of the Odd Fellows in the
Crab Orchard cemetery, following the
observance of the beautiful ritual of
terment. Religious services were con-
Quoted by his longtime friend, j. c.
McClary, at the home.
The deceased was one of the finest
old gentlemen in the county, esteem
ed and beloved by all who knew him.
He was a member of one of the coun-
ty's most prominent families. His
wife preceded him to the Great Be-
yond many years ago. Three sons
survive, DIR. w. j. Edmiston, with
whom he made his home, John S. Ed
mission, of Harrodsburg and Walter
Edmfston. He was the oldest brother
of d. B. Edmiston, of Louisville.
In politics before the civil war, the
deceased was a Wing; during that
Il rilous pc I'D he was a union man
and since an uncompromising repub-
1ican, but he never allowed his poll
teal prejudices to interfere with his
personal friendship; as an illustra-
ton, Col. j. W. Guest and R. H. Bro
naugh, two of the staunchest demo-
Gratis in all that section, were his
most intimate friends.
Years ago, Mr.. Edmiston united
with the Baptist church. He at all
times lived an honorable upright life,
and his death is distinct loss to the
community in which he lived and the
whole county.

MERRIMAN SELLS OUT

One of the biggest deals recently
made in the West End was the sale
by w. M. Merriman, of Moreland, of
his big poultry and produce buying
business to the Harrodsburg Ice and
Produce Company. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Merriman received a fancy
price for this part of his business,
receiving $1,000 year for five years.
He will still engage in the junk, iron
and hides buying business but will
turn over his large produce and poul-
try trade to the Mercer county firm,
which already had been buying in the
West End territory and realized
the magnitude of the trade that Mr..
Merriman had developed. The firm
has its headquarters at Harrodsburg
and like Mr.. Merriman, operates mot
or trucks all over its territory receiv-
poultry, eggs, etc.

Crab Orchard

The marriage of Rev. c. E. Wyatt,
pastor of the Christian church at
this place and Miss Myrtle Murray,
was solemnized on Friday afternoon,
Dec. 9Th, in that church. The beauti-
full and impressive ring ceremony
was performed by Rev. Horace Kings
bury, of Danville, an old schoolmate
and chum of the groom. The maid of
honor was Miss Mae Campbell, of
Danville and the best man was Harry
Collier of this place. The bride was at
tired in a blue charmeuse dress of
latest style and carried boquet of
brides roses and looked her sweet
est. Rev. Wyatt as pastor of the
church here needs no write-up as ev-
eryone knows so well the great work
he has accomplished for the church
during his charge over it and those
who know the bride best feel that he
has chosen wisely and well. Myrtle,
as president of the Christian Endeav-
or society here had few equals in the
work and endeared herself to the
little ones by her efforts for their
advancement. For six years she had
made her home with Mr.. and Mrs. R.
l.. Collier, who took great pains to
give her every advantage socially.
She is girl of fine sense, good taste,
economical and practical and will GER
tainly be to him loving helpmate.
Both bride and groom were recipients
of many useful and handsom presents
which would have numbered many
more had their friends been posted
as to the wedding day, but it was
such carefully guarded secret that
few if any knew about it until the
day before.
After receiving congratulations at
Mrs. Golfers from their wide circle
of friends and partaking of an ele-
giant lunch, they were motored to
Stanford, where they took the train
for Louisville. After visit to the
groom's family at Valley View near
Louisville. they VIII leave Jan, LIST,
for Ocala, Fla, where Rev. Wyatt
will have charge of a church next
year. In bidding good bye to these
two we with others feel that church,
Sunday School and Endeavor Soc'ety
sustain great loss, but we hope
their joyful beginning of life will at
its close be brighter still.
On Christmas eve the Junior En-
deavorers will entertain from half
past sixnntil- seem at the Christian
! church here. The Baptist brethren
have kindly agreed to have their ser
vices begin a half hour later on this
account. Every member of the Juniors
must be present. This entertainment
is free and we hope a full house viii
greet them, as they have taken much
pains to present an interesting pro
gram. The leaders, Mrs. Skies anC
Mrs. George Stephenson have certain
ly worked hard for the advancement
of the little tots and they try theil
very best to do as their leaders sug
gest.
