ANOTHER VETERAN
ANSWERS LAST CALL

Ford Murch was born August 9th,
1843 in Breedsville, Michigan, and
died at his home in Mattawan July
Goth, 1916 at the age of 72 years, II
months and 20 days. All Of his life
has been spent in Van Buren, County
except two years of service in Com
pany c, Ord Michigan Cavalry, for
the country he loved so well. After
the war closed and his work as
soldier was finished, he came home
and took up his labor as a faithful
citizen of the country for whose hon
or he fought. December 25th, 1866
he married Sarah Northam of Ar
lington, and had he lived until
Christmas of this year, they would
have completed their fifty years of
companionship.
To them were born seven children,
two of whom died in infancy. Sur
viving him are three sons: Fred and
George of Mattawan, and Frank of
Lockport, New York, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Maud Westgate of South
Haven and Mary who has remained
in the old home, and with the wife
has given him her undivided atten-
ton and tender care through the
years that he has been such a pa
tient sufferer. He leaves nine grand
children who will ever have pleasant
memories of grandpa who lived anew
in their childish joys and troubles.
Always interested in young people
and the progress Of the country so
dear to him, he has kept abreast of
the times and kept we'll posted on
all topics of the day, never tagging
in his interest in the plans and well
fare of those destined to take up
life where he laid it down.
Though he has gone on before and
we miss his cheerful presence in our
daily lives, his memory will live in,
and be cherished by those who have
been associated with him while he
was here. He has only passed on in
to another room to wait for those
he loved, to follow him when their
task is completed here. The dear
ones left will mourn the loss of
loving husband and father; they
will miss his kind advice and loving
care in the home, but suffering for
him is past and they are comforted
to know that he sleeps peacefully
The funeral was held from the late
home in Mattawan on Friday after
non, conducted by Rev. l. p. Bates.
Interment in the Fitch cemetery.

MAN OF THE HOUR

The republican party land
when we say republican party,
we include the progressives of
of four years ago, assuming thai
a great majority of republicans
throughout the United States
have the future of the party
enough at heart to forget that
there ever was such a party is
most fortunate this year IN the
choiC e Of candidates forthe Pre-.
sidency. Justice Charles E.
Hughes is the imam of the hour"
He was nominated without being
a candidate for the honor. He
is indebted to no individual or
set of individuals. He is a big
broad minded man, with the
"back bone" 70 carry out his
ideas. He is broad enough to
take into his counsel the leaders
who were responsible for the
election of Mr.. Wilson four year S
ago. He is real man in every
sense of the word, whose popu-
larity will increase as the cam
paign progresses. He was little
known to the country at large
until his nomination. Some peo-
pie have received wrong i'm
preston of the personality of the
man, which disappears as they
become acquainted with him.
The noted writer, Samuel G.
Blythe, writing for the Saturday
Evening Post of last Saturday,
July 20, quotes from an enter
view with a new member of the
National Republican Committee
to illustrate this point, as follows:
Candidate Hughes wasn't much
understood by a good many of
the men who nominated him.
They rather figured him as an
aloof and reserved person, digni-
fed and didatlc, but strong.
Wherefore, they were much as
tonished when the solemn justice
turned his hop-fop off the bench
into active politics again, yelled
'whoopla!' and exhibited an
earnest and vigorous desire to
knock the block off any Demo
crat who might happen along"
