ATTENDED OWN INQUEST

Among the interesting visitors
to The Chieftain's chamber of
horrors last Tuesday was August
johnson, the distinguished gen
tleman who speaks entertainingly
of attending his own inquest, I"
away back in 1888.
Mr.. johnson is now in the after
noon of life, and has been resi-
dent of the Butte creek country.
27 miles southwest of town, for
a quarter of century, and he re-
calls the episode of his own in
quest" with unfailing memory.
1t seems that Johnson and a
young son were possessed of near
ly$1O00 from one of their market
ing expeditions, and while en-
route home from Syracuse, were
waylaid by a bandit, the son
killed and Johnson's head split
open with an AK. Both bodies
were brought to Syracuse, where
a coroner's jury was at once en-
paneled to determine how father
and son had met their death.
The sons mutilated remains
were almost beyond recognition,
and the jury at glance signed
the verdict, and were passing the
remains of the elder johnson,
when he rubbed his eyes, arose
and confronting them, demanded
to be present at his own in
quest"
Altho hale and hearty, John
sons sight is failing, and altho
pressed for time with his multi
farious duties. always takes time
to read The Chieftain and keeps
posted on the progress of the
of the times in this section.

WoMAN's CLUB

The last NEE ting of the Holly Womans $

The subject of Mrs. Appel's paper was
American Women of Historical Inter.
est" and from highest to lowest, without
regard to station or wealth the authoress
swiftly and deftly sketched q gallery of
noble women. The whole paper was
keenly appreciated by all fortunate enough
to hear it.
Mrs. Partridse's subject was "Ameri.
can Women in Literature" and "Ameri.
can Women in Music" and it would be
hard to decide which Of the two themes
was treated more brilliantly. With q
light but certain pen was sketched the
principal writers Of note, and at its close
we could only say "Who ever dreamed
there were so many? Aren't we proud
of our blue stockinss!" In music the
name of one noted song bird after another
fell from the readers lips, till at its close
we felt as tho we had been at q session of
grand opera or tender home ballads.
At the close of the program delicious
coffee, sandwiches and cake were served.
Then the ladies adjourned to meet on
March 18th with Mrs. Helen Partridge.

MRS. MARTHA A. THAYER.

Miss Martha A. Gilman was born at
Churchville, N. Y. on September 9th,
1888. She died at her home in Paw
Paw, Michigan, October 18th, 1916;
aged eighty-three years, one month
and eight days. When FIVE years of
age she came with her parents to
Michigan. She was the daughter of a
Free Will Baptist Minister, Elder
Samuel Gilman. Her father organ
lied the Free Will Baptist church, in
a school house east of town, just
across the road and on the same side
of the street from the present Steeple
school. The following were the
charter members: - Elder Samuel
Gilman, Mrs. Judith Gilman; David
Woodman, Abigail Woodman; Joseph
Butler; Laura Butler; James Lee;
Hanna Lee and Roxana Lee; Silas
Breed; ANA Gray; and Susan Nor.
rison. Mrs. Thayer lived the remain
der of her life within five or six miles
of Paw Paw. Her mother died when
she was fourteen years of age. Her
father lived until his death in 1865,
on the farm now occupied by Elder
Bates.
On November 7th, 1855, she was
united in marriage to Mr.. William
Thayer, both of whom were repre-
sentatives of old families which had
come from New York state. To them
but one child was born, the late E. G..
Thayer. Under the blessing of God
their married life was unusually long
and happy. They celebrated their
golden anniversary nearly twelve
years ago. She was preceded by her
husband to their final home only a
little more than three months ago.
Mrs. Thayer's chief interest
was in her home. She apparent
ly cared little for the outside world.
Her only outside attachment was mem
bership in the order of the Eastern
Star. For many years she has been
an invalid, and death now comes as
natures merciful relief. She is the
last of her family to answer the sum-
mons. She lived to greater age
than any of them. There are now
only two left of a large group of
cousins. She is survived by the wife
of her son, Mrs. Louise Thayer, and
her granddaughter, Martha. To
these a large number of other rela-
tives a friends extend their deepest
sympathy in this time of loneliness
and loss.

JUDGE YAPLE To
SUPPORT HUGHES.
Life long democrat and
eminent jurist comes out
for Hughes.

Judge George l.. Yaple of Mendon,
life long democrat and one of the
pillars of Michigan democracy for
many years has announced to the st.
Joseph county republican committee
that he has decided to repudiate Will
son and will vote for Charles f.
Hughes for president. He has also
consented to make speech for
Hughes "Why | am for Hughes" at
Constantine on October oath.
Judge Yaple was Judge of the
fifteenth circuit for eighteen years.
He was member OF congress in 1882
and a candidate for governor against
Luce in 1886 on the Fusionist ticket
and in 1912 he ran for justice of the
supreme court on the democratic tick
ct against Justice Kuhn. He has been
actively identified with the democratic
party for more than two score years.
A bomb shell exploding in their
midst could hardly have caused as big
a sensation among the county commit
tee members as did the announcement
of Yaple. He was warmly congratu-
lated on "Seeing the light after forty
years of darkness" as one member
put it, and was welcomed with open
arms.
Judge Yaple is well known in Paw
Paw. The announcement will come as
a surprise and shock to his democrat
ic friends here.
