Mineral Point First City in State.

The above heading is correct. and
while some may display signs of sur
prise, all our citizens have ample
reason for feeling elated. Mineral
Point is credited with being the first
city IN the state to ''come across"
with its full quota as a result of the
War Savings Stamps Campaign. Thus
we have another evidence to be added
to the many already placed to the
credit of our city to being second to
none in liberality and patriotism.
Other communities in this county to
be credited with going lover the top
promptly, as reported to us at this
writing, are in this order: Barneveld,
Linden Village, Mineral Point Town,
Arena, Cobb, Eden.

has manifested more clearly year after

of citizens. school children in particular,
have participated with earnestness and
always have we been blessed with the
best of band and vocal music and more
particularly with an orator of outstand-
ing ability.
Memorial Day in Mineral Point this
year was no exception in any of these
respects. In fact, it was at least the
peer of any Our city was never more
fittingly decorated for such an occasion.

Obituary--kuelling.

John Jacob Kuelling, whose death on
the 18th of May was noted in these
columns last week, was born in Swift
erland May 81, lS49, and was conse-
quently So years and days old at the
time of his death.
When he was about IL years of age
he came with his parents to America
and settled in Shullsburg, this state,
where other members of the family had
previously located. He was united in
marriage Oct. 20, 1890, to Miss Cora
Harker of Cuba City. They afterward
lived at Montfort and in 1895 came to
Mineral Point where they have ever
since resided. Three daughters were
born unto them. Hazel, the Oldest was
taken by death eight years ago; Mar
ion and Mildred survive to be comfort
and cheer to their fond mother. OF the
immediate family one sister. Mrs.
Risken of st. Paul and brother,
William Of Shullsburg, are get alive.
Mr.. Kuelling early in life learned the
trade of boot and shoemaking and be-
came very proficient, and continued in
that vocation the greater part of his
ife. For about six years he held
position in Washington, d. c., to which
he was assigned by the late Represent
alive Babcock. Because of his inteili-
gent appreciation of and interest in all
governmental affairs he enjoyed the
appointment very much. and it can be
said that few men could discuss the
political questions of the day more
clearly than Mr.. Kueling. He returned
to his home seven years ago and re-
sumed his old form of employment, in
which he continued until few months
ago when illness necessitated relin-
punishment.
Mr.. Kuelling frequently displayed
pride of having been born in Switzer-
land, that land of magnificent lakes,
mountains, and liberty loving people,
both political and religious. Gifted with
a good tenor voice, he was from early
life associated with musical organiza-
tons. especially in the church.
Deceased had been member of INDIE
pendent Order of Odd Fellows AZ years.
W hose cardinal principles of Friend
ship. Love ane Truth were the govern
ing factors of his life. For twelve
years he faithfully filled the Office of
police justice in this city and was the
incumbent at the time of his death.
Funeral services were held at the
home Friday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. W. j, G. Bond, and at the grave
by the |. o. o. f., large numbers of
whom from surrounding cities joined the
local lodge in attending.
This bare outline of his life suggests
to us all that Mr.. KueIing was Of good
service to his day and generation. -
