The MOrenCi Leader


It. will be of interest to the gen eraI public to know that the 3 1-2 per cent bonds of the First Liberty loan can be converted to the 4 per cent bonds at the Gila Valley Bank and Trust company any time before
 May 1st, 191S All exchanges made before December 18th will make no
 adjustment of interest necessary.
 It is well to bear in mind, however,
 that the per cent bond is subject
 to tax for holders of an amount in excess of $5,000. From this it is evident that the small holder who in tends 10 retain his bond as an inter- est-bearing. investment would do well to exercise his conversion privll- ege, whereas if it is intended that
 the bond shall later be sold on the open bond market, it is entirely pos sible that the 1-2 percent issue may bring better figure than the four percent. Parties desiring to convert their bands should notify their bankers of their wishes at once.

= & J. q
bora, of whom one died in infancy,
and the other, Nj. Frank E. wether-
ell of Des Moines, survives his
father. The wife and mother was
laid to rest on Jan. 20, 1900.
Mr.. Wetherell moved to Mahaska
county, near Fremont, as early as
1871, and from there In 1872 he NOV.
ed to Benton county near Luzerne,
from which place he moved to Oska-
loosa in September, 1876, where he
has lived until three years ago when
he went to make his home with his
son in Des Moines.
At the fiftieth reunion of the Bat
tie of Gettysburg he suffered a sun
stroke and has been in failing health
ever since, until quietly and peace
fully he went to his last long sleep.
Besides his son he has three sur
viving brothers out of a family of
seven: Alphys Wetherell who resides
near the old home place near Malta,
Ohio; Benjamin Wetherell who lives
near Fulton, Missouri; and Albert
Wetherell who lives near Bowling
Green, Missouri
Mr.. Wetherell was contractor and
builder in Oskaloosa up to the time
of his moving to Des Moines, and
some of our best buildings are the
examples of his skill and efficiency
+, He built the Third Ward school
house, the Frankel Block, the Episco,
;pal Church, the old Congregational
!, Church, and many other excellent
structures, including McAuley Chap
ell, where by special request and most
betittingly his funeral was held.
Mr.. Wetherell was man of exem
lplary habits, and spotless character
His honesty and integrity won for
him very high esteem, in the bust
ness world AS well as in the large
circle of his friends. His personal
habits were above reproach; he was
temperate even to the exclusion OF
tobacco, tea and coffee, and no one
ever heard profane word from his
i lips. While he was never openly
connected with any church he had
the highest respect for religion, and
in his life exemplified in the highest
degree the Christian graces and vir
tues. His quiet, unselfish ways anG
his extreme thoughtfulness for 9th
ers endeared him to many friends
. who will long remember with love
4 and affection his good life. He has
gone to his reward, He who builded
so well the earthly tabernacles, has
builded by his noble, long and useful
life that House not built with hands
eternal in the heavens"
