MILTON L. DECKER
AUGUST 20, 186O-SEpTEsBER %, 1917

The people of this community pro-
badly never received a greater shock
than last Sunday evening, when the
sad news quickly spread over the
village that Nj. L. Decker had drop
ped dead in his Office" The end
came about eight o'clock without
warning of any kind, and as he stood
by his desk talking to a client. He
had spent a part of the day, riding
in the country and was apparently in
his usual health. Although he had
mentioned the fact that he felt chilly
and had complained slightly of a
pain over his heart several times
during the day. He returned from
the country about seven o'clock, and
those who talked with him at the
supper table and just prior to his
death, state that he appeared to be
in his usual good humor and spirits
His son Royal was the only men,
ber Of the family home at the time.
Mrs. Decker, who has been in poor
health for a long time was in Petos-
kew at the home of a friend, and
Vern was in Pittsburg, Pa, in the
interest of The Paw Paw Grape Juice
company. With true filial devotion,
ROYAL drove to Kalamazoo to take
the first train for Petoskey to be the
first to break the sad news to his
mother and accompany her home.
Paul Harrison of Bloomingdale, a
cousin, accompanied him on the trip.
The party arrived Tuesday afternoon
and Vernon who had met them in
Kalamazoo was with them. 1t was
indeed sad home coming.
NJ. L. Decker began life in the
state of Ohio, on August 28th, 1860.
He was one of family of eight
children born to Absalom and Sarah
(Rees) Decker. But one now re-
mains of this family, a brother in
Grand Rapids. At the age of eigh-
teen, he started ~ business as a
grocer in Deshler, Ohio. Later he
was a lumber buyer in Quebec, Can
ada and following this with two
years insurance business in Iowa.
He then came to Bloomingdale, Mich,
where he engaged in the drug bust
ness for a period of six years. He
then went to Colorado for year,

SHERIFF AND FAMILY HAVE
CLOSE CALL IN ACCIDENT.

Sheriff Beattie and his family had
narrow escape from serious injury,
and possible death Wednesday after
noon, when his automobile turned
turtle. The accident happened on a
narrow sandy place in the road near
Shaefer's Lake in Lawrence township
The car turned completely over, land
ing on the top, which was crushed by
the weight of the car. Mrs. Beattie
and children were in the back seat,
and uninjured. After getting the
children out to a place of safety, she
lifted one corner of the car enough
to release her husband, who was pin
ned underneath the steering wheel.
He was quite badly bruised and his
face cut by broken glass from the
wind shield, but nothing of a serious
nature. With the help of those work
ing in the nearby fields, the car was
righted, put back in the road, and
driven back to Paw Paw with the
family and wreckage. True to the
tradition of the Ford, the engine
never stopped running, as the car
rolled over and over down the bank.
1t was a lucky accident and mighty
close. call for the Sheriff, his wife
and babies.

REV. CARMAN RETIRES FROM
MINISTRY TO GO ON FARM.

Rev. A. o. Carman and family left
last Saturday for Potterville, Mich,
their future home. Mr.. Carman has
retired from the ministry, and eX-
poets to make his home now with his
father on the farm in Potterville.
His father has reached the advanced
age of eighty-seven years. He is
still hale and hearty, but needs some
one to assist in the care of his fine
one hundred and eight acre farm.
During the time that Mr.. Carman
has been pastor of the M. f. church
here, seventy-fve members have been
added to the church roster, the build
ing has been re-shingled and re-deco-
rated, and other improvements made.
1t is with regret on the part of his
church people and citizens of Paw
Paw generally that they learn of his
decision to retire. He has made
many warm friends here both in and
out of the church, and The True
Nertherner joins in best wishes to
him and his in the new home.

next year moving to Lacota which
was his home until 1902, when he
was elected Register of Deeds and
moved to Paw Paw, which place has
since been his home.
He conducted a drug business in
Lacota, and was also postmaster
there for nine years. He held many
official positions, among them, clerk
of Geneva township six years, and
supervisor three years, Register of
Deeds of the county for four years,
member of the republican county
committee nine years and president
of the village here. At the close of
his term as county official, he en-
gagged in the mercantile business
here, and later opened real estate
office, in which business he was en-
gagged until his death. He was a
member of the Order Of Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias and Maccabees.
He has been prominent in the busi
ness, official and political circles of
Van Buren, county for many years.
In December 1887, Mr.. Decker was
married to Miss Nina Eaton, daugh
ter of Hon. r. G. Eaton. Two child
rem were born to them, both now
grown to manhood. Royal F., the
present county clerk, and Vernon c..
salesman for The Paw Paw Grape
Juice company. He was a most de-
voted and indulgent husband and
father. Never a wish was ever ex-
pressed by a member of his family,
but what was gratifed if within his
power. His family was his pride
and his JOY, and for them he lived.
The funeral was held from the late
residence Thursday forenoon at 1920
Rev. c. H., Heaton of the Baptist
church assisted by Rev. f. w. Smith
of the Presbyterian church officiating
Interment was in Prospect cemetery.
AS a tribute to his memory, stores
and Offices were closed, and business
suspended during the hour of his
funeral The large concourse of
people gathered from about the
county, and the great variety and
profusion of floral offerings gave
mute but eloquent commentary of the
esteem in which Milton l.. Decker
was held.

TO SAY ON THE
DEBATED TOBACCO QUESTION

Mr.. Editor:-Now that the question
of the propriety of sending tobacco
to our soldiers has taken on the
aspect of a debate, | should like
publicly to place myself on record as
opposed to the project. would not
deny the "boys" a harmless "bit of
comfort" but tobacco is a poison and
poison is not harmless.
The statement made by your cor
respondent last week, namely, "Scien-
fists tell us the caffeine in coffee and
the tanin in tea is as injurious to
health as the nicotine in tobacco"
is not the truth. The writer did not
and cannot quote one reputable
scientist who would risk his
reputation by making such a state
ment. Here are a few statements
with which all scientists of note will
agree.
DR.. A. ID. Bush, the noted physi-
oligist, at has been ascertained that
tobacco smoking causes a decrease
of 10.5 per cent in mental efficiency.
DR.. Winfield S. Hall of Northwest
ern University, "The use of Tobacco
paves the way to other dissipation.
The vast majority of drunkards were
smokers before they were drinkers"
Luther Burbank, the wizard of the
vegetable kingdom, "No boy living
would commence the use of cigar
cites if he knew what useless, soul
less, worthless thing they would
make of him."
Thomas A. Edison, the man whose
inventive genious is destined to make
this world "safe for democracy" at
(the acrotein in the cigarette) has a
violent action on the nerve centers,
producing degeneration of the cells
of the brain. This degeneration is
permanent and uncomfortable.
In these critical times, when fixed
standards are being shaken and es-
tablished intitutions are tottering, we
are in danger of losing sight of the
things of moral value without which
no nation has a right to live. For
the sake of the slight influence that
these facts may have upon the sum-
total of public opinion and above all,
for the sake of the influence they
may have upon the yet uncontamin-
ated boyhood of Paw Paw | ask you
to give them publicity over the sig
niture Of

The Friend of Boys

BANGOR-COVERT ROAD
COME UNDER COVERT ACT.

The County Road Commissioners
held meeting in Paw Paw last
Monday to complete arrangements
for the construction of five and one
half miles of road between Bangor
and Covert. This road will be built
under what is known as the "Covert
Act" by which the property owners
along the right of way will pay a
certain percentage of the tax, the
same as in the paving job in a city
or village. Supervisors Burger of
Bangor and Kirby of Covert have
been in Paw Raw all the week, max
ing out the assessment roll for this
stretch Of road, which will be con-
structed next Spring, under the
supervision of the Road Commission
ers.

EVERY NIGHT Is FEATURE
NIGHT AT THE IDLE HOUR

Every night is Feature Night" at
the Idle Hour theatre. If ever a
man tried hard to please his patrons
and give them the best to be had, it
is Mr.. Reeves. The class Of pictures
shown nightly at the Idle Hour would
do credit to any Movie house in the
city. The features are the best that
money can buy. There is no parti
cular feature night, for every night
is a feature in itself. If you are not
already a patron of this popular
amusement house, take a night off
and try it. You will like it, and the
chances are you will become a regu-
lar patron. The pictures are high
class, clean and credit to the will
age.
