Obituary,

Edward Sweedler was born in
Mecklinburg, Germany, March 90
1855, and died at Williams, Ia, Feb.
25, 1916, at the age of 60 years,
eleven months and two days. His
parents came to America when he
was two years Of age, locating in
Will county, ILL.,, near Joliet, where
he grew to manhood. He was united
in marriage to Amelia M. klingler,
Feb. Is, 1882. To this union were
born two children-John E. of Jol-
let, Ill.,, and Lloyd E. Of Williams. In
Feb. of 1903 the family moved to
Williams, where they have resided
ever since. He IS survived by his
wife, two sons and four brothers.
When a child Mr.. Sweedler was
baptized in the German Lutheran
faith, but owing to the fact that
there was no church of that denom-
ination near his Illinois home, he
gave his support to the United Evan
gelical church and since his resi-
dence here to the M. E. church.
There was no ostentation about
Mr.. Sweedler's religious life, but the
roots struck deep and Powered in
deeds of daily kindness toward those
with whom he was associated He
was man of integrity and it may
in all truth be said of him that "his
word was his bond" His devotion
to his wife never failed and he was
kind and faithful husband and
father. By his own efforts he has
acquired one of the finest farms in
this part of the country, as well as
other property, and he leaves his
family amply provided for.
His funeral occurred on Monday
at 2 p. M, the Rev. Bryan, his for
mer pastor, conducting the services,
assisted by the Rev. Wardle, He
was laid to rest in the cemetery

OF LITTLE CHILDREN /; \
A Family Of Three in the West End
and One Of Four in the East
End of Town.

The Freeman-Tribune is in receipt
of a communication of protest from
la resident of the west end of Web
lister City, over the alleged ill-treat-
ment of family of three little chill
ldren. The circumstances as alleged
lare these: A, father and mother,
residents of the west part of the city.
are in the habit OF going to dances
and leaving their three little ones,
the eldest only nine years of age,
alone at home. The other night, SO
our informant says the little fellow
who is the head of the family of
three, arose late in the night and
called his mother over the telephone
at the hall where dance was in
progress. He told her he was COM
ing to the hall after her and his
mother bade him go back to bed. The
child, however, dressed himself and
started down town for his mother.
AS he was leaving the yard, he fell
over a wheelbarrow and awoke, cry
ing and waking the neighbors. The
residents of that vicinity are much
exercised over the neglect of these
children at night and think some
thing should be dones to stop it.
They are entirely right. Something
should be done for the children. The
case has a parallel in the east part
of the city. q"
A family of four children are bad
ly neglected by their mother and
have been for over year. The faith
er, in half hearted sort of way, has
tried to take care of his children,
but as rule they run as wild as any
animals. They go to school at inter-
walls, unkempt and unwashed. Dur
ing vacations they may be seen play
ing about the railroad around empty
cars, or in alleys The mother, it is
alleged, leaves the family for days
and weeks at q time to take care Of
themselves as best they may. The
condition of affairs has become
known not only to neighbors but al
so to other residents. and many are
strongly in favor Of having the Of
flcials of some orphans home come
and take the four bright little chill
dren away from the incompetent
parents.
AS has so often been stated be-
fore, the state laws protect dumb an
imals, but fall down in caring for
little children whose parents neg
lect them. Neighbors hesitate to in
terfere in the relationship between
these children and their parents, but
in the meantime the children are
growing up without home. parents,
school or church. These are cases in
Webster City's slums, for she has a
c m element
