Obituary.

Drexel, the infant son of Mr.. |
and Mrs. J. N. Anderson of
Adele, died Thursday morning,
March 9Th, of Acute Indigestion,
after an illness of about five days.
He was eighteen months and
nine days Of age, and was an ex-
ceedlngly bright, lovable child.
He was stricken while at play on
Saturday the 3rd inst, but was
not considered at all serious until
the following Monday when grave
complications set up and he be-
gan to sink rapidly. Doctor
Wheeler of Lee City who had the
case in charge summoned Doctor
Wheeler of Ganey. and they re-
sorted to every method known to
medical science to give the little
fellow relief but their efforts were
in vain. The frantic parents then
called Doctor Hurst from Jack
son, who arrived at Noon We'd
nesday and joined the Drs.
Wheeler and all three of them
labored until they saw further
efforts were useless. The little
fellow grew gradually worse until
death came at fifteen minutes of
nine O'Clock Thursday morning.
His suffering was intense almost
to the moment of his death. His
little body was laid to rest in the
private cemetery of the Taulbee
family at Adele, where many of
Mrs. Anderson's people are
buried. A large concourse of
friends followed the little white
casket to the grave, amongst
them a great number of children
who knew and loved the child
during his brief life. The griet
of the young parents was pitifu
to see, both of them being Sc
shocked and Frustrated that the,
had to have the attention of s
doctor. Drexel was their onl,
child and was simply worshipeC
by them both. The COURIER
extends its sympathy to them il
their hour of grief and point
them to a higher power for solace
, where
From belt to belt of crimson seas

0ctogenarian Passes Away.

James M. Cottle, died suddenly
at his home on the river about
four miles east of town at 7:30
o'clock Monday morning the IL
inst.
He had been in better health
than usual the past winter and
spent Saturday night at the home
of his son D. N. about a mile and
a half away, leaving there alone
late Sunday afternoon. He went
to the barn to feed his stock
Monday morning, took slightly
sick and returned to the house
without completing his work.
He sat down and rested for a few
minutes and then went to the
table to eat his breakfast. Short
ly after sitting down at the table
some member of the family
noticed that he was about to fall
from his chair. They started to
lay him on the bed but he ex-
pired before they could lay him
down. He never spoke after he
was stricken at the table.
Uncle" Jim, as he was
familiarly known was born in this
county Oct. IL, 1894 and had re-
sided all his life in the same
neighborhood where he first saw
the light. He was one ,of Nor
gan county's best and most highly
respected citizens. He was look
ed upon as a leader in thought
and action in the community in
which he lived and was often
called upon to act as arbiter when
differences would arise between
his neighbors. He was a very
successful farmer and at one
time was one of the largest land
holders in the county, but he had
divided all his lands among his
children.
He is survived by three broth
ers, John L. Cottle, of Forest
Frank Cottle, of Rossville, Kas.
and Isaac Cottle, of Lexington

In the demise of Uncle jim
Cottle the country loses anothe

fast thinning and whose place
can never again be filled.
Interment took place in tn
