IODltudTA -hIN. W. H. Diuiih''
Martha Goyey Lewis was born in
Hunsdon. England, Sept. 3 1851.
where she lived until the age OF 3
years. Thence they moved to Lon
don. where she lived until 1874,
when she came to New York City.
She was there about years; then
came to Chicago, remaining there
but few months. She came to
Solomon. Kans.. in 1877 and was
united in marriage to Vim. H..
Bluderfield June &c Of that year. To
this union were born 4 children, 2
girls and 2 boys: Mrs. VIM. Jolitz,
of Solomon; Emily A., Of Talmage'
VIM p, Of Chicago and Fred j., OF
Solomon. Besides her husband and
children, she leaves to mourn her
loss, four little granddaughters and
one brother in England. She died
Saturday. June Is, 1918, at 2:30
a. m. She became a member of the
| Episcopal church in early childhood
and on July 81. 1894. she with her
husband and daughters were bap-
tised by Rev. B. f. Dice and united
with the NJ +. church at Willow

placed her letter in the Talmage

friends and loved ones as a devoted
wife a loving mother and consist
ant Christian.
Funeral services were held at the
Talmage NJ E. church Monday, June
II at 2:3O p. m. Services conducted
by Rev. F. B. Benson. The large
number of friends who were present
gave silent and sorrowful testimony
of the esteem in which she was held.
The casket was covered with beau
tiful flowers. Silent tokens of love
were in the grief that fills the hearts
of those who know her and love
her. We are unable to do justice in
describing the beauty and devotion
of her Christian life of good deeds
exemplary to all her associates Her
death was a fitting close to it; dying
peacefully and without a murmur,
secure in the love of the Savior, who |
had been her solace and strength |
during her Illness. No murmur or |
passed her lips during all |
her suffering with the patience of
true Christian.
The pail bearers who carried her
to her last resting place were: VIM.
Dodge. w. d. Fulton, VIM. Koelling,
Grice, VIM ]. Fem, John
Bear. She was buried in the
Prairie Mound cemetery at Solomon.
Dearest loved one thou has left us
Here alone on earth to weep,
Cor thy sweet and gentle presence
1ere among us will be missed
Thou hast gone to dwell with Jesus
n that land of Heavenly bliss
Where no sin nor pain nor sorrow
Along with Jesus thou shall rest
Yes, dear mother, we shall miss thee
But we dare not wish thee back,
FOR we know that thou art happy
n that Heavenly land of rest.
les, dear one, we long to meet thee
rs thou asked us to on earth
md we know thy trust was faithful
Until the very last
md by Jesus precious power !
lay we gather home at last I
Where we all may be united {
n that Heavenly land of rest. /

Trapping Allowed.

New Orleans, La. Sept. 80, 1918.
Mr.. Walter 5 Berwick, Agent De-
partment of Conserv alton,
Fraukliu, La.
Dear Sir:-An impression seems to
have gone abroad that the trapping Of
furs will not be permitted this season
until after the first of January, and
that the State Council of Defense has
passed such ruling.
have investigated this report and
ind that the State Council OF Defense
has passed no such ruling and l know
of no reason why the trapping Of furs
should not be- permitted under the law
as usual. AS 1 understand it, furs
are considered essential ut this time
as they are needed by the government
10 the manufacture of clothing for the
soldiers. Further, in many sections.
the meat Of the animal SO trapped is
used for food.
Yours very truly,
N. l.. ALEXANDER.

pass d that the Council of Defense
meet Sheriff Pecnt on his return to the

This is a wise move. The crops must

are fighting our battles. can only be
provided with the sinews of wsr. The
