| Information has been received re
gardlng the dedicatory services of the
First NJ f. church of Grand Rapids
michigan, of which DR.. J. G. Willitts
| is the pastor. 1t will be remembered
that a few years ago, DR.. Willitts
was the distiict superintendent OF the
Oskaloosa district and was later
transferred from the Iowa conference
to the First M. u. church of Decatur
Illinois. and from thereafter pOpu
| lar pastorate, he was again transfer
red to Grand Rapids. The new and
beautiful building was dedicated on
April 16. 1916 (Palm Sunday and
during the day discourses were de
llivered by Bishop William Burt and
also Bishop Luther B. Wilson, of New
York City. The building is an ele
giant stone structure and cost eXclus
i've OF the lot, over $4,000. The sue
cessful construction of an enterprise
of this character is a high tribute to
the executive ability of DR.. Willitts as
we'll as the loyalty and devotion OF
Ibis membership. Oskaloosa is always
gratifed to learn of former citizens,
who have gone out into the busy
world and have made good in their
various lines of work. All friends
will be pleased to learn of his sue
cess.
OF a gentleman we'll known in Os'
kaloosa the Montezuma Republican
says: 1t is something to have lived
rlU
and few men or women can boast oil
this distinction. April 26, the annlVer-
sary of the Battle of the Boyne,
Poweshiek's earliest settler, as we
believe, celebrated his seVentyseventh
birthday anniversary. Though having
arrived at this rare age, this man still
carries himself with such straight up
right bearing, with such an absence
of gray in his hair and beard, that
most people would place his age at
fifteen years younger. The man is
Captain J. w. Carr. Captain Carr has
long been a resident of Montezuma
and in Iowa stands in the front ranks
of the legal profession. His whole life
has been devoted to good deeds, tC
the uplift movement. Mr.. Carr has
served as county clerk, as county at
tOrney, has always been leader IT
politics. an ardent Republican and
champion of clean government. Jan
10. 1866. he was united in marriage
to Miss Lottie Frisk and last January
celebrated his fiftieth wedding ami
versary. 1t is the sincere hope of ey
cry citizen that Captain Carr be spar
ed many more years of usefulness tc
the community and state.
