Mrs. Claude Scott

Mollie Grinstead was born On
a farm west of this city July ",
1870 and died at her home in
Hannibal. Mo-, March 19, 1917.
after a fatal illness of six
months. In early girlhood her
parents moved to Keytesville
and until 1894 she resided here
when in September of that year
she was united in marriage to
]. L. Scott of Moberly and i'm
mediately took up her residence
in that City where she lived un-
til a year and a half ago when
the family moved to Hannibal.
One child, Dixie, now Mrs. Will
liam Patterson, came to the un-
ion and with the husband, sis
ters Mrs. Anne Younes, and
Mrs. Edgar Tisdale and brother
Billy survive of a family of tai
ented and charmingly social
people.
DR.. John j. Grinstead mar
ried Louise Field in Arkansas
during the Civil War. He was
a surgeon in the Confederate
army and soon after the close of
the war he came to this county
and engaged in the practice of
medicine until his death. His
widow lived until her death at
the old home and when the fami-
ly scattered to different points
to engage in various pursuits,
Mrs. Grinstead kept the home
ready for a visit from any or all
of her children. DR.. Richard
Grinstead, Mollie, Anne, Louisa,
and Billy with their parents llv-
ed as happily as only family
of intelligent, democratic and
affectionate people with south
ern characteristics can live.
When the mother died a few
years ago, the remaining popu-
lar members of the family were
lost to the community as citi-
zens until the return Of Mrs.
Louisa Tisdale. Highly intellec-
tnal, literary and gifted vocalists
and musicians each and every
one of them, their home was a
social center so long as one of
the young women was there.
Mrs. Mollie Scott was a men,
ber of the Methodist church
from her marriage to her death
and the announcement here
Monday that she was dead brot
deep sorrow to all her friends.
One of the sunniest natured
women ever reared in the city;
a devoted wife and idolizing
mother and possessed of that
charm of manner which graces
womanhood more than all artifi-
cial adornment, Mollie Grinstead
Scott was an exceptional woman.
Funeral services were con-

FIRE SWEEPS Mclean
HOME ON SECOND AVENUE

Fire, evidently having it's origin
from a spark blown from the chimney
underneath a single on the roof,
nearly destroyed the home of Engi-
neer A. W. Mclean on Second Ave-
nue. West early Saturday morning. A
high wind rapidly famed the flames
from the kitchen roof through the
whole house, and Mr.. Mclean, who
was still in bed, barely escaped with
his life, clad only in his night clothes.
Through the splendid work of the
hire fighters the flames were soon
gotten under control, but not until
the fire had swept clear through the
house and destroyed practically all of
the furnishings and clothing of Mr..
and Mrs. Mclean.
Mrs. Mclean was absent at the
time of the fire, being on a visit at
the home of her brother, j. F. Card
ner, cashier of the Farmers State
Bank at Belfeld. She lost many arti-
cles of inestimable value as ~keepsakes.
The damage to the building and
furniture was fully covered by insur-
ance, but at that Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Lean are heavy losers of articles that
cannot be replaced by cash.

When one is out for a walk it is u
very common thing to wish to know
the height of a particular tree which
happens to catch the eye. When the
sun is shining it is possible accurately
to measure the height of the tree from
the shadow it casts on the ground. In
order to do so a stick must be set up
right in the ground SO that its shadow
falls beside the shadow Of the tree.
Then, as the length of the sticks shad-
ow to the sticks height, so is the
length Of the trees shadow to the
trees height. For example, suppose a
two and a half foot stick shows a
shadow three feet long and the trees
shadow is eighteen feet long. There
fore the tree is six times as high as
the stick, which shows that the height
of the tree will be fifteen feet.
