OBITUARY
MRS. MARY WESTABY.

Death came as welcome relief to
Mrs. Mary Westaby, mother of Mrs. H.
C. Hess last Friday evening for Mrs.
Westaby had been a great sufferer for
many months and had not been we'll in
years, her advanced age adding to her
infrmities daily until the frail body was
spent with the struggle that living
meant. She was lightweight years old
the 18th of this June and had been an
invalid, confined to the house most of
the time for several years.
Mary Gautby was born the daughter
of William and Rebecca Gautby at
Barton on the Humber in England in,
1928. She came Of family accustomed
to the advantages of education and
training in the finer things Of life but
when she was married at "a years of age
she came with her husband, Charles
Westaby, to the new land of west central
America and settled among the pioneers
in 10 Davies County, Illinois. There
she lived until the death of her husband
nineteen years ago. Nine children were
born to the union, four of whom died and
lie buried near the old home in Illinois.
The surviving children are George and

Charles Westaby of North Yakima,
WASH, James Westaby of Alexandria,
Iowa, and Mrs. H. C.. Hess of New Ulm
She is also survived by nephew, George

grand children and great grand children.
Since the death of her husband, Mrs.
Westaby has made her home with the
children, nearly nineteen years being
spent with her daughter, Mrs. Hess, who
devoted herself to her mothers comfort.
Since the, family has lived in New Ulm
she has been so poorly that it was i'm
, possible for her to go about to any extent
but she made many friends among those
who knew of her cheerful acceptance OF
the cross Of i'll health that was placed
upon her. She was also given to help
ing those who were sick or otherwise
afflicted and many were cheered by her
helpful ministrations.
Funeral services were conducted by

Church Monday afternoon and the re-
mains were taken to the old home
Stockton, Illinois, to be placed beside
those of her husband and children and
among the friends of early years with

and DR.. Charles Hess, her son, met them
there

STATE OFFICER ISSUES WARNING

There are at least two departments
Of the state government which seem
to take an interest in the celebration
of the Glorious Fourth, the state fire
marshal on the one hand and member
of the state health department on the
! other. While the fire marshal urges
that the celebration be on the safe and
sane order, the health officer knows
that he has to deal with redblooded
youngsters to whom the celebration
of the National Independence Day
without noise and fireworks would be
no celebration at all and he urges that
in the case Of accidents the necessary
precautions be taken and a reliable
physician called to dress the injuries.
DR.. Murphy in his warning says:
''To avoid permanent disability or
even death; injuries received on the
Fourth of July should receive treatment
from a competent physician at once.
Tetanus, commonly called lockjaw, may
show its first symptoms a week or ten
days after the injury. Tetanus germs
are found IN all street dust. 1t has be-
come customary in the case of blank
cartridge wounds and many other
Fourth of July injuries to have a physi-
clan administer antitetanic serum. Even
for Fourth of July wounds that appear
innocent, he should be allowed to give
the injury proper treatment and to adj
minister the serum if he thinks best to
do So"
The state fire marshal is especially
Interested in preventing the great losses
by fire which always follow in the wake
OF the annual celebration. The de-
partment urges upon the people of the
state that the day be observed in a
manner tending to prevent the great
destruction of property; that the reck-
less use of fireworks is not in keeping
with the purpose for which the day has
been set apart as a national holiday:
and that the splendid ideals of the
Revolutionary period can be remem-
bered on that day to promote whole
some influence and spread an intell-
gent appreciation of what the holiday
means without so much sacrifice.
The state fire marshal's department
IS ready to cooperate with cities of
Minnesota towards a saner observance
OF the day and says:
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-06-28

'The modern idea Of celebrating
Fourth OF July is fast eliminating
the old style nerve-racking, noise
making celebration with it's long roll
of blindness, lockjaw, death and MAIN
ing. With further development Of
this public sentiment this plan of observ-
ing the anniversary Of signing of the Dec
laration OF independence will be thing
of the past, especially in Minnesota
'The number of deaths and acct
dents on the Fourth of July is decreasing
in Minnesota but they should be elimi-
mated altogether. For this reason the
state fire marshaPs department stands
ready to assist in statewide move
ment to put Minnesota in a class by
itself in this respect in July, 1916"
