this vicinity by Miss Hope Carr, OF
Nashville, Illinois. Hobart Carr, is

some time ago and has not been

that he may have enlisted in the ma.

be working on farm near here, as
he is more familiar with agriculture
than any other trade.
There is also a possibility that he
may be working in one of the fac
tories here. The local police depart

five feet, six inches, build medium,

FORMER SCHOOL
TEACHER DEAD
Mrs. Jacob F. Bird Taught for Years
in the Carey and Wells Schools
An Inspiration to Her
Pupils.
PRINCIPAL OF GARFIELD
At Head Of Old First Ward School
Until Health Compelled Her
Retirement From Ac-
tive Work.

Mrs. Jacob F. Bird, seventy-four
years old. died at 2:40 yesterday
morning at the home of her niece,
Miss Edna Fletcher, No S12 High
street. Death was due to old age.
Mrs. Bird was well known in Keo-
kuk For years she was teacher in
the public schools Of the city. Her
sweet soul was an inspiration to her
pupils. Many OF the present citizens
of the city owe much to the fine
teaching and character building re-
ceived from her.
| Frances C. McCulloch was born at
Princeton, Ind, February s, 1912, the
daughter Of E1ihu and Harriet Ing Nc
| Culloch. She was educated in the
| public schools of Princeton, where
she early showed great talent.
| In 1870 she came to Keokuk with
| her mother and sister. She became a
teacher in the public schools. For
many years she taught, first in the
Wells, and later in the Carey schools.
Then. she was made principal of what
was then designated as the First
ward school," now called the Gar
field school. She served as principal
about three years. She met with
great success in this work, but was
compelled to retire from teaching on
account of i'll health.
In 1880 she was married to Jacob
F. Bird. who died some years ago.
After the marriage, the couple re-
moved to Owensville, Ind, where Mrs.
Bird had made her home until year
ago. Since that time she had been
living with her niece, Miss Edna
Fletcher No. S12 High street.
| The decedent is survived by a
brother-in-law, w. S. Fletcher, and by
| a niece. Miss Edna Fletcher, both OF
this city, and an aunt, Mrs. S. c. Mel
len.
For many years, until her health
failed, Mrs. Bird was an active mem
her in the Methodist church. She al
ways remained member, and took a
keen interest in the affairs of the
denomination, even when 1t had be
| come impossible to take an active
part in the work Of the church.
The funeral service was held al
O'Clock this afternoon from the
home of her niece. Rev. Mr.. Edwards
pastor of Trinity Methodist church
was in charge of the service. This
evening. the remains will be taken tc
her old home in Princeton, Ind, there
to receive burial in the family lot.

MERCHANT IS DONOR

Miss Eiizabeth Nutting. who has
been secretary in the local Y w.
G. A, and who will go to Erie, Pa, in
September, to accept position there,
has sent some clippings from an Erie
paper telling of the good fortune Of
that association in being remembered
in the will of one of the big mer-
chants of Erie.
William B. Trask in his will which
was recently offered for probate. has
given s227,OO0 to institutions and
100000 of this amount has been CIV
en- to the Y. w. C. A. The will pro-
vides for requests of smaller sums to
hospitals. a society for the prevention
of tuberculosis and for various other
such needs.
Ten thousand dollars was given by
Mr.. Trask as a nucleus for the con-
struction of building. The gift or
iginally carried with it some condi-
lions, these were later withdrawn in
another provision of the will and
$4,000 was added. This money is
given for the purpose of building
new home for the association which
will be of fire proof construction.
1t is presumed that this building
can be started Immediately and that
the association to which Miss Nutting
is going will have a new building
for it's use. The Keokuk association
would like to meet such benefactor
for it's work and If there are any mill
lionaires in Keokuk who want to
make a similar bequest, the money
would not be turned down.

DIES MONIES, June 26.--I had in
innate knowledge of some of the boys
in the Keokuk company Of the First
regiment I. N G., and I was espec-
tally interested in seeing how these
rather sudden soldiers measured UP
to those other soldier boys who did
honor to Keokuk in 1851 and in 1898.
The first ten minutes in the street
of l. company on the farthermost part
of the plain at Camp Dodge, gave an
emphatic answer.
The spirit of the Keokuk company
is exactly right. They do not put
on airs and talk about being eager to
get into battle where the machine
guns Groom and the Mexicans shoot
from arroyos. They do not laugh and
whistle like a boy in dark lane pass
ing cemetery at midnight. They do
not even remark about any change
from good beds in Keokuk and blan-
kets in tents in the flood plain of
Beaver creek. They are perfectly
natural as at home, in the mass.
