Merle c.. French, son of Capeles
and Nora French, was born in Han
cock county, Illinois, near Elvaston,
November %, 1907. He died June 20,
1915, at the age OF eight years, six
months and twenty-six days. This
simple announcement tells the pass
ing away Of an unusually bright child,
the beloved and pride of his father.
mother and grandparents. Though SO
young in life, scarcely out of infancy,
he was very thoughtful and pre-
cocious child. On. April 14th, 1916,
Merle gave his heart to Jesus Christ,
and became member of the Trinity
Methodist church at Keokuk, Iowa,
and was a faithful member OF his
Sunday school.
The pale boat-man was beckoning
him from the other shore and he
caught a glimpse of the bright be-
yond, over the mountain tops OF faith
! and his little soul passed to the
peaceful home. The curtain has gone
down. The lights are out; and the
dream Of another life Is ended. Those
left to grieve his early departure are
his loving parents, two grandfathers
and one grandmother and many 9TH
er relatives.
The Hamilton Press said of this
tragedy: Tuesday afternoon eight
year old Merl French, with his little
cousin, Raymond Darling, was play
ing up stairs In Merl's home. Mr..
French was away. Mrs. French was
busy down stairs and heard a report
of a gun. Running up stairs she
found her hearts idol, Merl, lying
on the floor, beside him terror
stricken boy and a discharged gun.
Probably no one will ever know how
the accident happened. 1t was a
rainy day, perhaps the boys had play
ed with everything else and after
having had a big time they wanted
bigger time. What was more natur-
al than to get gun? They got it.
somehow, no one knows just how.
The gun did the rest. Merl was shot
through the head just above the
right ear and the charge entered the
base of the brain. DIR. Runyon was
summoned by the frantic mother,
and all was done that human
hands and hearts could do but
He who gave him, to Mr.. and
Mrs. French Just eight years, six
him to be with Himself, about mid
night, Tuesday night. The funeral
was held from the house Thursday
afternoon at 2:30. Rev. J. l.. Henry
conducted the services and the Bap-
fist choir sang
The sympathy of the whole COM
rnunity goes out to this heart broken
father and mother in this sad hour.
Such q feeling of sadness has not
gripped the community since the day
the word was flashed through the
community of the drowning of the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Horney
during the Hamilton chautauqua.
The entire community sympathizes
with Mr. and Mrs. French in their
dark hours.

The United States should have any

last night in his patriotic sermon.
He contends that this country turned
a deaf ear to the pleas for help, and
that Christian America has done lit

III Christian America had spent one
quarter of the amount she has already
spent on Mexican troubles, this trou

Don't forget them, and too, remember

II know some are saying, what is
the use of sending our boys dowa
there where they might be sacrificed
