err Celebrated Twenty.fifth
Business Anniversary
Saturday.

Last Saturday, Sept. /, marked the
twenty-fifth business anniversary of
B. o. Marsh, the we'll known music
dealer, il this city. He had just
graduated from the American. Conser-
vatory of Music in Chicago where he
took a course in cornet playing. At
the same time, his wife completed

ton. Today Mr.. Marsh owns the
three story building which houses his
business on Wilnebago street in this
city. He has worked up national
trade in band and orchestra instru-
ments and music books and has the
agency for nine counties in Iowa and
Minnesota for the Bauer, Crown, and
Concord pianos. Incidentally, he has
been handling the product of Julius
Bauer & Co. AID the Geo. P. Bent
Company during practically all of the
time that he has been in business.
Mr.. Marsh's success in the retail
piano business is reputation of the
claims of some people that a plano
dealer nowadays must feature cheap

Mrs. Erik j. Vangsness Dead.

Last Thursday the community was
shocked when news of the death of
Mrs. Erik j. Vangsness became
known. The deceased was taken i'll
suddenly at her home on East Main
street on Thursday morning. She had
not been feeling well for day or so,
but being of strong and robust ma
ture, she thought nothing of it. A
physician was called and everything
possible was done for her, but to no
avail. The deceased was born in
Frankville township on July 5. 1854,
a daughter ofsMr. and Mrs. Filing
Bake. SheEwas united in marriage
to Erik ]. Vangsness on May 81,
1878, on Washington Prairie The
family home was on a farm IN Glen
wood township until three years ago
when they moved to DEBORAH to live.
The bereaved husband and three chill
dren, Herbert and Elizabeth, at home
and George, of Asby, Mimi, survive.
Two children passed away some years
ago. She is also survived by her faith
er, who is now over 95 years of age,
ald two sisters and two brothers. The
deceased was one of Decorah's and
| Winneshiek county's very best moth
ers, a woman beloved. by al who
knew her and her death brings sor-
row to many, and the sympathy of all
is extended to the bereaved ones who
are left to mourn.
The funeral services were held
Monday from the Norwegian church

George Cuchioftis Remembered.

George Cuchioftis, the young
Greek, who has conducted a shoe
shining parlor on Winnebago street
for the past two years, and who took
out his citizenship papers a few
months age, has been remembered by
a number of DEBORAH women in a fine
way. George will be one of the men
who leave for Camp Dodge on the
9th as member of the new National
Army He has made a good patriotic
citizen and demonstrated his loyalty
10 the stars AID stripes in every way.
This has been observed by our people
and as a result he was presented with
a number of nice gifts this week in
the shape of two comfort bags, con-
tanning toilet articles, paper and en-
velopes, mouth organ, pencils, etc.
Besides these he was givea a fine
sweater and muller. That he has
appreciated it all goes without say
ing. AS he received two comfort
bags, George tells us that he is going
to give one Of them to Angelo Pan
assakis, another young Greek, who
took his papers out month ago, so
that he could go and fight for Uncle
Sam.

Major Caldwell Home From Boston.

Major L. L. Caldwell arrived home
Saturday from Boston where he was
in attendance at the National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and spent fifteen days
there. Major Caldwell says that so
Iowa soldiers were there and all
marched by states. Some 5000 veter-
ans were in the line Of march. They
were given a good time after the
business meeting was over and were
taken by autos to Concord, Salem,
Cambridge and Lexington and also
through Harvard University. A day
was also spent On the lakes Thirteen
years ago at the last encampment in
Boston 10000 Boys in Blue" parad-
ed, hut this last parade only muster
ed 5000.
The very lessening of numbers only
served to emphasize the patriotic les
son of the hour.
For, as these old men had done in
their irresistible youth for the Union,
so will our young men of today, gath
ering even now in swelling mum bers,
do for the cemented union and for
the liberty of the world in the great
strife that awaits them across the
sea-.
Even as the eyes of spectators
grew dim at the sight of the Boys
in Blue" the hearts of these same
spectators beat strong with all conf
dence in our latter-day Boys in Olive
Drab.
