DEATH CLAIMS PAW PAW
LADY WHILE ON A VISIT.

The neighbors and friends Of Mrs.
Fred Hinckley were greatly shocked
last Friday evening to learn that she
had suffered a stroke of paralysis
while visiting in Jackson. She and
another lady had been spending the
day at Hanover among old friends
and Mrs. Hinckley had been in un-
usual health and spirits but while on
the train for the return trip she COM
planned OF one of her hands feeling
badly and being unable to remove
her glove. After arriving at Jack
son she became rapidly worse and
was taken to a hospital where she
was given every attention but there
seemed to be no help for her and
she passed away Saturday morning
at seven o'clock. Mr.. Hinckley was
notified by wire and went at six
o'clock Friday evening, but she was
unconscious of his presence.
Mrs. Hinckley was born Leonia B.
Hampton, in Hamilton township, Van
Buren, County, June 18th, 1877. Her
girlhood days were spent there and in
1898 she was married to Mr.. Hinck-
ley. A number of those years have
been spent in Paw Paw where she
surrounded herself with many friends
though in the past few years she has
not been physically strong enough to
go out a great deal. She was the
mother of five children; Dale, son,
the oldest of the family, and four
girls, Ruth, Avanella, Donna and
Alice, who is only five years of age.
Besides these she leaves a sister,
Mrs. Jessie Fitzsimmons of Kalama-
zoo.
Mrs. Hipckley was a member of the
Third Division of the Presbyterian
church and was also a member of the
Royal Neighbors lodge. 1t may be
said that this lady was all that the
term implies TO anything she
possessed was at the disposal of her
neighbors and she was always ready
TO lend aid to those in need. Her
family was her chief concern and her
girls were taught to help about the
home so unconsciously she prepared
them for the duties that will now de-
volve upon them. Mr.. Hinckley and
his family have the deep sympathy
of their friends for the loss they
have sustained.
Rev. Edgar Smith conducted the
funeral services at the home on Mon
day afternoon at three o'clock. She
was laid away in beautiful Prospect
Hill cemetery.
Among those from out-of-town who
attended the funeral of Mrs. Fred
Hinckley last Monday were: Mr..
and Mrs. B. J. Hinckley and Arthur
Hinckley and wife of Decatur, C. NJ.
Hinckley and wife and j. A. Harris
and wife of Kalamazoo, l.. o. Graham
and wife Of Gobleville, Roy Hinckley
of Hartford, Pearl Stowell and son of
South Bend, Mrs. Hazel Wilcox of
Elkhart, and Ralph Allen and wife Of
Lawrence. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hinckley also came from Decatur and
will remain here for a short time.

CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to thank the many friends

The tune, Yankee Doodle" origi- mating in France or Holland, was first sGng in England to a nursery rhyme, 'Incy I.ocket Lost Her Pocket" and soon adapted to verses sung by caya- liers in ridicule of Cromwell. In the summer of l755 during the French and Indian wars, the British army was en- camped on the east bank of the Hud- son near Albany awaiting reinforce ments from eastern colonies before marching on Tcondiroga.
