Perry Wadsworth Meadow

After few weeks illness, Per-
nv Wadsworth Meadow, age 79
years, 8 months, died at his resi-
dence in Punta Gorda few hours
before dawn, on Friday morning,
18th inst. During his illness, he
was given every attention posi-
BILE by an able physician, supple
mented by the tireless ministra-
tons of his devoted wife, OF capa-
bic nurses and a few close friends.
When he was first taken sick,
he felt that his end was near and
he talked about it with a .calmnesS
that indicated an earnest wish to
die that he might escape from his
physical Affections. For many
years, he suffered from something
like locomotor ataxia, which at
tackled him in 1866, when he was
% years old and deprived him of
the use of the lower part Of his
body, from his hips down. Wheth-
er this trouble resulted from his
having been crushed by tier of
bacon falling on him, or from a
long siege Of mountain fever in
Montana, some Of the best physi-
clans of the country were unable
to determine.
Mr.. Meadow was born in
Mayesville, Ky, July %, 1888.
His father was a physician; and
when the son was but a child, the
family removed to western Mis-
souri, and lived there until Perry
was II years old, when they emil
grated to California, being at
tracted thither by the gold fever
then prevailing. Shortly after ar
irving in California, DR.. Meadow
was taken i'll, and his brother,
who was with him, started to take
him and Perry back to Missouri,
via the Isthmus Of Panama. The
father grew worse, and he died
and was buried on the isthmus.
The uncle continued the journey
and brought Perry back to Mis-
souri,, where he ATTENDED school.
When 16 years old, the boy
went to Montana, where he en-
gagged in farming; and it was dur
ing this time that he was several
times elected q member of the
state legislature, in which he

|FLORIDA'S EXCELLENT

University Of Florida and Florida
State College for Women Are
Godsend to Young Men
and Women of the
State.

Elsewhere IN this paper is an
advertisement of the University
of Florida and the Florida State
College for Women, institutions
of which every Floridian has a
right to feel proud, for their are
second to none in the South and
have few close rivals.
Members of the Legislature
have felt that the best was not toe
good for Florida young men and
young women, and since the
means have been provided parents
should make almost any sacrifice
to send their children to one Of
these great colleges.
The cost is so small, and thu
benefits so great, that no boy OF
girl should be permitted to grow
into manhood and womanhoo6
without college education. Now
that the war has emphasized sc
strongly the need for specially
trained persons, parents having
children advanced far enough tc
enter the university or the college
should write for catalogue.
There is no need whatever tC
send a boy or girl to college in an
other state. 1t is impossible tC
find superior training, better fare
or more healthful conditions anc

Young men and young women
who intend spending their lives II
Florida will find it a source Of
benefit and pleasure to be asso
ciated at college with person;
from every county in the state.

dock; advanced to the contractor
the money to build the eleven
miles of our concrete sidewalks
in short, he did so many things OF
this kind that The Herald cannot
remember and give a list OF all oil
them. At the same time, he lent
money to many individuals at a
reasonable rate of interest, and,
amongst those so favored, are the
publishers of The Herald.
Because of these things, Mr.,
Meadow will be greatly missed IN
this community.
He was not member of any
church, but he had firm faith IN
the Righteousness and justice OF
God.
His body was taken care of in
strict compliance with explicit IN
structions given by him long be-
fore his death and repeated to
those around him during his last
days on earth. He died in the as
surance that his wishes would be
respected.
The Herald joins many friends
here and elsewhere in rendering
heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. McA-
dow, who is not only sadly be-
|reaved, but is now burdened with
the care and responsibility for the
extensive and varied business in
terests left in her charge.

served with Senator Clarke, who
later became a national figure.
And it was while farming that he
made the first discovery OF gold
in Montana. The vein he discov-
cred was apparently a very rich
one; and, after working it for a
time, he sold out for a large sum,
Subsequently, he removed to
jackson, Mich, where he lived a.
bout three years and then went to
Detroit and lived six years. Mean
time, in 1884, he married his first
wife and lived very happily with
her for twelve years, when she
died. Shortly after her death, in
1896, he visited Punta Gorda and
spent the winter here as guest Of
our big tourist hotel. He was so
pleased with the place that he de-
cided to come here and make his
home, and in 1897 he carried out
this decision. He secured a fine
location on the bay front and
built an elegant residence thereon.
On Oct. End, 1897, he was mar
ried to Miss Marian A. Tyrrell,
the queenly woman who survives
him. This marriage, like the
former, was a very happy one.
Mr.. Meadow is the first Of five
sisters and two brothers to pass a
way. The surviving brother and
sisters are living in the far north
western part of this country and
all are very old, not one of them
being under so years of age.
During his residence of twenty
odd years here, Mr.. Meadow took
a keen interest in all that was 60
ing on in the public affairs Of the
town, the county and the state
and also in all important events
transpiring in the outside world.
He was an insatiate reader of
newspapers and books and, in con-
sequence, was one Of the best in
formed men in Florida.
His interest in the war now rag
ing in Europe was so lively that
he did all that was reasonable on
his part to aid the cause of the u
nited States and our European al
lies. To this end, he invested lib
orally in all government securi-
ties issued for the promotion of
| the war and he contributed gem
erously to all other patriotic
causes, such as the Red Cross and
! the Y. M. G. A. War Fund. He
was quick to respond to all chart
table appeals to help local suffer
ers or those elsewhere.
| Mr.. Meadow was a great help,
financially and ethically, to many
Of the business interests of this
community. To this end, he lent
a good deal of money, for which
he charged only s per cent. simple
interest. He established some en-
terprises and promoted others, all
of which were designed to add to
the business and the Importance
