ORTTITARY

Mary Proudfoot Dennis, daughter
of Samuel and Rachel Proudfoot, was
born in Wayne county, Ohio, Febru-
airy 27, 1847, and as the sun silently
sank in the west on Monday, Decem-
Der "a, 1917, she peacefully passed
away, aged rs years, 9 months and
27 days.
On May II, 1859, she was united in
marriage to Michael Dennis and to
them were born seven children, three
sons and four daughters. Of these,
three daughters have preceded their
mother in death-Adaline A, Lenora
Zella, and Lettie May. The children
who today are sad and sorrowing as
they pay their last tribute to a good
mother, are Gladney M. Dennis, of
near Wauseon; Clinton, who lived with
mother in their home in Tedrow;
Vern of Fort Worth, Texas, and the
daughter, Mrs. Eva McKibben, of
near Hudson, Mich. There are also
10 grandchildren and II great-grand-
children. Of her own family she
leaves two brothers and three sisters.
Mrs. Dennis was one of the pio-
neers of Fulton county, having moved
with her husband shortly after their
marriage to Franklin township, and
began the hewing out Of a home in
the wilderness in that section. She
has been one of those privileged to
live to see the great changes made
in the development of the section, the
Transforming of vast forests and
marshy thickets into broad and fer
tile fields.
Mrs. Dennis was a member of the
Franklin Baptist church, having united
with that church 40 years ago, and
held her membership with this church
until her death; after moving to the
village of Tedrow she has worshiped
with the Methodist congregation, al
ways enjoying her church life and
privileges, until failing health COM
PEELED her to remain at home. She
was loyal member of the local lodge
Daughters of Rebekah, an excellent
worker for the success of the order
. and a firm believer in its principles
! and ideals.
After the death of her husband
about II years ago, she removed from
the old farm in Franklin township
that had been the parental home fol
so many years, to the village of Ted
row, and enjoyed the quiet of hel
home with her son, Clinton, in hel
declining years. She will be missed
by her sisters of the lodge, and by
her friends and neighbors; indeed
she was a good friend, a helpful
neighbor, and many speak in the
highest terms of her kindness anC
friendship.
AS a mother she was ever loving
and devoted to each member of hel
family, and they keenly feel then
loss, as they today tenderly lay hel
away-the best friend the world car
give. However, such is life-today
the home is happy; tomorrow, per
haps, broken up. Mothers gone; bu
to those whose hearts are sorrowins
today, there is great consolation il
the thought that those who live vel
only fall asleep to awaken wher'
partings are no more, and where hap
piness and joy reign supreme anc
eternal.
The funeral services were held a
the Tedrow Methodist church Wed
nesday, December 26, conducted b.
the Rev. D. c. Degrot, and buria
made in Tedrow cemetery.

The famous Lewis machine gun,
patented by an American, used by the
British (the enemy says with fearful
success) cannot get a look-in in this
country.
"The question naturally arises"
said General Crozier, "that with the
Lewis guns available, why did we not
use them and make more? That is
a question l cannot answer"
But the American people will hard
| ly be satisfied until some one does
answer it.

Then Senator Hitchcock, another
Democrat, took a hand.
81 don't want generalities. The
time has come when we ought to
know just what has been done. There
is feeling and many reports that we
have been behind hand, unduly de-
layed. Although Congress provided
ample money promptly, there are
many officers, some in high command,
who have told not only one senator
but many senators, things that ought
to have been provided in advance"
''They have been provided for, but
not in time in some cases." was Gen
eral Crozier's reply. 81 think when
you have all the facts you will have
a different impression. Some of the
work ought to have been started two
years before"

Stomach Trouble and Constipation

Those who are afflicted with stom-
ach trouble and constipation should
read the following: 81 have never
found anything so good for stomach
trouble and constipation as Cham
berlain's Tablets. have used them
off and on now for the past two
years. They not only regulate the
action of the bowels, but stimulate
the liver and keeps ones body in a
healthy condition." writes Mrs. Ben
jamin Hooper, Auburn, N. Y.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-12-28

One question that Senator Cham
berlain asked of General Crozier, the
latter being a soldier and therefore
presumable ignorant Of the political
campaign of 1916, was not answered
as it might have been.
Chamberlain asked: "Isn't it a fact
that most of the 1916 appropriations
were still unexpended when the war
was declared ?"
The apropos answer was, GAS we
were to be kept out of war, of course
we thought it useless to spend the
money" Poor old General Crozier
had to pass this up, however, and
make the classical red-tape bureau
answer "that the delay was neces-
sary accompaniment Of our methods
of government" which, he said pom
derously and impressively, require
much checking and joint responsible
ity." We knew that government work
always went on slow enough, but had
no idea it had to be checked in its
speed in time Of war.
