The death of William Bibby, which
occurred last Sunday afternoon, June
10, 1917, at $3.50, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Cooper, 214
Alexander street, came as great
shock to his relatives and friends. He
has been in failing health for several
years, but not confined to his bed I'M
til a week previous to his death, when
it became known that he was suffering
with ulcers of the stomach, which was
the immediate cause of his death.

born at Onlro, Wis, October 81, 1852,
and had reached the age of sixty-four
years, seven months and fourteen days
His wife, Josephine Bibby, preceded
him in death eleven years ago.
Mr.. Bibby had been a resident of
Wausau for forty-seven years, and
was well known in this city and vicin-
ity He followed the trade of head
sawyer for many years, and had
many friends, and his name was
always associated with fair dealing.
Surviving are seven children, name
ly, Bert Bibby of Hosford, Fla; Dan
Bibby of Virginia, Mimi; Harry Bibby
of San Diego, CAL, Stanley Bibby of
Westville, ILL.,; Edward Bibby of Wau-
sau, and Mrs. George Forcey and Mrs.
Lawrence Cooper, also of this city.
One brother, John Bibby of Almond,
Wis, and two sisters, Mrs. Otto Putt
samer and Mrs. Charles Welby of San
Francisco, Cal. Funeral arrangements
have not been definitely made, as the
arrival of relatives depends upon the
date of the same.

ALL FOR THE RED CROSS

The cabaret given at the Wausau

day evening by the young people, for
the benefit of the Red Cross, was one
Of the most clever events ever given

Bernice Towle, Florence Kelly, Jean
Gilbert, Constance Harger, Thorneta
Earle, Susette Wade and Miss Ruth
Wright of Oak Park, Ill.
AT $3.50 the dance hall of the club
was filled with a crowd all bent upon
all the fun they could get out of the af-
fair, and as it was announced by
large sign at the entrance that it was
the Cafe D. Fleecem," all knew what
to expect when they entered. Not
withstanding, they received their mon
ey's worth in the vaudeville stunts of
the evening, the refreshments served
and the general good time enjoyed
There were excellent numbers rem
dered by Miss Josephine Sturtevant,
who was the flower girl; Miss Gale
Ross, and Hilton Dressed, and each re-
sponded to encores. Miss Helen Coates
was down for violin numbers and she
reused the entire crowd to enthusiasm

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Mrs. Sedate Pier went to Fond du
Lac the past week, where she and her
brother, Sidney Windecker celebrated
their birthday Saturday, June 9th. The
celebration was unlike previous ones
because of the death of one of the
triplets, Sylvester Windecker, whose
home was at Byron, Wis.
The Windecker triplets were born
in Lowville, n. Y, on June 8, 1914
Five years after their birth their par
ents moved to Wisconsin and for three
years lived in Fond du Lac; after
which they moved to a farm in By
ron, at which place Sylvester Win
decker's death occurred. Each June
the triplets met and celebrated their
birthday together. They We're known
in all parts of the country and had
many friends who aided them in cele-
brating their anniversaries. They
were very proud of the distinction
of being the oldest triplets in the
world, until death came into the fam
lily and took away one of them. Syl-
vester Windecker was seventy years,
ten months and six days of age at the
time of his passing away, April Is,

dozen eggs. The festivities concluded

REV. HORACE J. WHEELER

Last Sunday morning the congrega-
ton of the First Universalist church
had the pleasure of listening to a
sermon by Rev. Horace J. Wheeler,
who now operates farm in the town
of Texas. Rev. Wheeler, was former
ly a Baptist minister, but felt that he
needed a touch of the real farm life
to bring him up to par physically. He
reasoned correctly, for he is now the
personification of ruggedness. He de-
livered an eloquent sermon on the
iniquity of sin; how essential it was
for the human family to abstain from
sin and therefore become the more
perfect; the man who sins, though he
fully atones, the scar of imperfection
still remains. Rev. Wheeler also
t. liked to the Sunday school during the
ne on hour.
