Mrs. Phebe Chat1eId,

Precious in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of His saints"
Mrs. Phebe Roberts Chatfeld was
born July 8, 1887, at clean, Ripley
county, Indiana Thursday, Oct. 4
1917, she left us to meet her Heavenly
Father, and her friends gone on be-
fore, having lived to the good ripe
old age of so years, 2 months and 26
days
May "a, 1848, she with her parents
came overland to Lancaster, where
they lived for a short time on a farm
east Of this city; they then moved to
Wingville, where they resided one
year. and from thence to the farm
known as the Roberts farm.
At the age Of Is years, months she
obtained a certificate and taught
school for several years. On Dec. 81,
1857, she was united in holy wedlock
to John Showalter. To this union
were born three children, namely,
William RoIIa, who died at the age of
one year; Clyde r., now living at
Wichita, Kan, and Miss Portia, living
at home and tenderly caring for her
mother until the end came.
Mr.. ShoWalter died in 1865. May
81, 1869, she was married to Darius
Chatfeld To this union two children
we're born namely, Roy Clifford Chat
field, who passed away Feb. /, 1914
and Mrs. Bertha Grebe, who lives on
farm near Bloomington.
At the age Of -, in the month Of
February, she was baptised into the
Christian faith, and ever lived a beau
tifuI consistent and inspiring Chris
tan life.
She will be sadly missed in the little
home church where her smiling pres
ence and her optimistic turn of mind
were a living testimony to the one
in whom she had implicit faith, "the
God Of love-"
She lives not simply in our hearts
and memories but in that eternal
home which the Saviour hasgone to
prepare.
"Oh, change! from which nature must
shrink overpowered,
Till faith shall the anguish remove
and condemn;
For the change to those blest ones
who die in the Lord,
Though to us it brings sorrow
gives glory to them"

business to make money for itself, it
is ready to lend the use of its equip
ment to the Red Cross. Every cent of
the proceeds of this picture goes to
the Red Cross. Fill the old school

The pictures of sea life taken under

almost beyond description, being to-
tally unlike anything ever shown be-
fore. The workings of the "U-boat"
around which the story is framed
were also something new to spectat-
ors, and excited much favorable COM
ment. The picture was shown under
the management of the Grand theater
