MRS. R. C. SKEELs
Pioneer Resident of Fulton County
Passes To Her Reward at the Age
of Seventy -eight-A Noble Woman
and Well Spent Life.

Elizabeth Friedrich Skeels, was born
in Circleville, Picaway County, Ohio,
July 6, 1888 and moved with her par
ents, John and Catherine Friedrich to
to Fulton county when but a youth,
where she grew to womanhood.
She was married to Roswell c.
Skeels January 18th, 1859. Their
married life extending over a period
of fifty-eight years. To this union was
born two daughters, and one son. The
one daughter and son dying in in
fancy. A little girl at the age of five
years came into their home in the
year 1878 whom they loved and cher
ished as their own, now Margaret
Royce, of Morenci.
Mrs. Skeels was converted when
but child and joined the Church of
the United Brethren in Christ of
which she was an esteemed and hon.
est member at her death. Naturally
quiet and reserved yet she made many
friends. A woman of excellent judg-
ment and unusually even and exemp-
larry in her daily life, with unfalter-
ing faith and obedience to her Lord
and Saviour. She attracted others to
the Christian life and by her wise and
sympathetic counsel gave encourage
ment to many who were tempted or
discouraged. Devoted to her home
and family but her kindly ministeries
were not limited to these, but were
as extensive as her opportunities. To
the very last she inquired about the
| sick, and the pastor and his family
she was faithful in attendance when
health permitted and lived the SER
vices of the sanctuary striving as
she so often expressed it, to reach the
home eternal when her life work was
over. Their home all these years
has been one for the minister and
thanked God for the hearty welcome
and hospitality of this home. Coming
to this vicinity in her childhood, she
shared in the privation, struggles and
sacrifices of pioneer life, but cheer.
fully and uncomplainingly she did hel
part. She lived to see the wilderness
blossom as the rose, not only the de.
velopment of the country into valu.
able farms and comfortable homes
but witnessed the growth of Wauseor
from small village to a beautiful
little city.
Peacefully she passed away just al
dawn of morning to behold the beau
ties of the land where it is always day
for there is no night there. She has
heard the "Well Done" from the Mas
ter and entered into her joy.
She leaves to mourn their loss al
aged husband, one daughter three
grandchildren, three brothers, Mrs
Charles Royce and family and many
other relatives and friends. Funera
services were held from the U. B
church, Friday, conducted by Rev. J
W. Lilly of Hicksville, Ohio, assisted
by the pastor Rev. R. R. Risley. He
age was seventy-eight years, eigh
months and one day.

TRIANGULAR DEBATES
Between the High Schools of WauseOn
Bowling Green and Tiffin Friday
Evening, March 18th.

For years Wauseon High School
has been highly respected and much
feared because of its debating teams.
They have not always been victors but
they have always fought a strenuous
fight and made the opponents fight
equally strenuously. Last year both
teams were victors and this year they
will try hard to repeat. Since becons.
ing a member of the Triangular Lea
que Wauseon has won three debates
and lost one.
The question to be discussed this
evening is: Resolved, that Federal
Compulsory Arbitration Law Should
Be Enacted To Settle all Labor Dis
putes on Railroads and Other Com
mon Carriers Doing Interstate Busi-
ness, Constitutionality Conceded. A
team consisting of Herman Wallace,
Walter McClain and Edwin Paxson
with John Outcalt as alternate will
uphold the negative side of this pro-
position at Tiffin. Tifin's team is
made up of experienced debaters
while only one of our boys has had
training in big debate. However the
coach, Mr.. Cramer, is very hopeful
and believes victory is ours. Bowling
Green will send negative team con-
sisting of George Cheney, Robert
Fearnside and Florence Reigle with
Ivan Lake as alternate to Wauseon.
We are told that these are all wide
awake Give wires" and they promise
to make things very interesting. We
are sure they know how to debate for
Mr.. Holman, Wauseon's former debat-
ing coach, has been training them two
years for this conflict. But that is
the kind of team Wauseon likes to
meet and Wauseon High will be ably
represented by Leslie Paxson, Chris
tine Outcalt and Anna Hodges, How
ard Aumend being the alternate.
There is then every reason to ex-
Ipect an interesting and even exciting
argument. The two teams seem even
Ily matched and both are strong. The
question is of vital Importance fol
the railroad strike of last year, the
Adamson Law and President Wilson's
whole labor program will be involved
More than that, for this very day
there meet in New York representa-
. tives of the Railroad Brotherhood anC
of the railroad owners for the pur
pose of settling their differences. |!
they cannot agree the Brotherhood
are planning nationwide strike ol
all railroads beginning next Sunday.
You will want to know what rea
difficulties are and the best way,to fin'
!, out is to hear the debate. It will b.
necessary to begin promptly at 7:45
There should be full house. It
worthy project and deserves you
: cooperation.

NEW MANUFACTURING CO

Mr.. C. R. Upp of Wauseon is the
vice president and manufacturing
manager of the Maumee Valley Manu-
featuring Company of Hicksville,
which has recently been organized as
result of the reorganization of the
Collier Show Case Company of that
city. The new company has been
capitalized for 100000 and from the
Hicksville Tribune of March 14th we
CLEAN the information that the COM
pany is literally swamped with orders
at the present time particularly for
auto hearse bodies the company hav-
ing recently finished and delivered
several which have created a demand
for more. Additional men will be
taken on and increased production
rushed in all departments. Estimates
for finishing bodies for two large au-
to hearse manufacturers are now in
progress. The Tribune has. this to say
in regard to Mr.. Upp.
&C, R. Upp of Wauseon, mechani-
cal engineer, graduate Of Ohio State
University and a manager of exper-
ience as Vice President and will keep
production and efficiency up to high
standard"

w. C.. T. u. MEETING

The County W. C. T. U. meeting
held at M. E. church March 9th was
one of unusual interest and spiritual
uplift. The new County President,
Mrs. Edith Doren of Swanton is much
in our county doing all we
possibly can to help make Ohio dry.
Mrs. Frances Garwood of Cotton was
present and very helpful in her sug-
gestion for efficient planning for cam
paign work. She also gave very
good report of national W. C. T. u.
convention held at Indianapolis. One
thought from one of the convention
addresses was Licensing the liquor
traffic and ining a man for getting
drunk like exposing man to the
itch and then fixing him for scratch
ing" Also some startling facts about
the growth and power of Mormonism
were told. The sugar business today
is controlled by the Mormon church.
1t has fourteen sugar beet factories
in Utah, Idaho and Oregon. The su-
gar merger was made in the office of
the Mormon Prophet. The day the
war opened Joseph Smith raised the
price of sugar four and one half cents
per pound and cleared $9,000,O0O for
the Mormon church.
Mrs. Edith Doren gave fine report
of Ohio State Convention held at
Akron last. October. Miss Edna Smith
of Swanton, a sweet voiced singer,
very nicely rendered 'The Lure of the
Wine Cup" Miss Florence Sower of
Wauseon recited one of Paul Law
renee Dunbar's poemes, which was
well received. A committee was ap-
pointed and plans discussed for or
ganizing a County Dry Federation en-
listing women from all fraternal reli-
gious and social organizations, believ-
ing we need the help of every one, at
all interested in the reform wave that
is fast spreading all over the United
States.

BIG MEETING
Of Educators at WauseOn, March 80
and 31-NOrthwestern Ohio Super
intendents and Principals Round
Table Will be in Session at the High
School Auditorium.

Wauseon will have the honor of en-
tertaining the leading school men and
women OF twenty-five counties IN
Northwestern Ohio on Friday and
Saturday, March 80 and 81. This is
one of the big educational events OF
the year among Ohio's teachers.
Never before has this meeting been
held in so small city. But Wauseon's
fame has attracted attention and the
annual pilgrimage is to come our way
this year. There will be about one
hundred and fifty or two hundred
visitors in our midst and preparations
are under way for their entertain
ment. The Booster Club is planning
a banquet for the evening of Friday
March Both so that the men and wo-
men of Wauseon will have an oppor-
tunity to meet and greet our guests
and enable them to enjoy socla
hour or two in connection with the
business that brings them here.
On Friday forenoon the schools
will be in regular session and oper
to visitors. In the afternoon there
will be no school. The school men vii
meet in two sections, one for Count!
and District Superintendents anC
Rural teachers and the other for city
and Village superintendent, Princi
pals and teachers, and will engage IL
round table discussion of school, com
munity and child welfare problems.
The evening session is always re
garded as the greatest event of th'
entire meeting. This year this ses
sion is to be more important than evel
because a speaker of national fame
is being secured. This gives the peo
pie of Wauseon a great opportunit.
that they should not miss. The lee
ture will be of real interest to tn
general public as well as to the teach
ers and school men.
The greatest local problem will b
the finding of housing Accommodations
for our visitors for Friday night. TIL
Blair Hotel can care for only frac
ton of them. 1t will be necessary fo
the good people of Wauseon to ex
tend their famed hospitality by open
ing their. homes and receiving fev
guests. Some have already offered t.
do so but it will require many more
Supt. Altstetter will be glad to regis
ter your name as one who will car
for the strangers in our midst. B
sure to phone him and tell him hov
many you can care for.
Next week the program will be pub
lished in full. Wauseon people viii
want to arrange to secure the great
est good out of this meeting and vii

LET TRUST ABIDE

Words are weak in time of sorrow,
When our loved go from our side,
It is then we need a helper
- Let our trust in God abide.
When we drink the cup of anguish,
Feel that all our hopes have died,
Turn then to the power above US
Let our trust in God abide.
Earthly life is but a shadow
Of the life beyond the tide,
Where our loved have gone before US
Let our trust in God abide.
We shall meet our own beloved,
Journey onward side by side,
Thus with love and faith more pre-
feet
Let our trust in God abide.
