ed away at her home in Minneapolis
April l, 1918. She was united in
marriage to Calvin F. Webster Oct.
10, 1857, at Door Village, Saporto
county, Ind, and moved to Howard
county Iowa, the same year to make
their future home, being among the
pioneers of this county, suffering the
hardships common to a new country.
They lived on their farm about IS
years; then moved to Cresco, the
county seat, which was her home for
about forty years, moving to Mime

was born three daughters-Clara E..

aged husband and four grandchildren
Charles w. White, Allie May Mere
dith and the Misses Florence and Bess
McCook and other near and dear rel
atives besides host of friends and
neighbors mourn the death of one
who was faithful to every trust. Thus
ends the life here of a christian mo-
Their, devoted and loving wife; never
thinking of her own comfort, but al
ways looking out for the comfort of
others, always keeping an open home
and welcome hand for those less
fortunate. She was ready to go home,
telling the daughters she would like
to take her life's companion with her.
She died claiming the promises of the
Master, her heart was not troubled
about the future. She said she had
been spared good while and could
not complain.
, Blessed are they that die in the
Lord. She has gone to the mansion
prepared for those that love Him.

rule in order to prevent an unusually
large fatality list for any one village

later sufferes severely in battle. I'm
der this arrangement the wiping out
completely of a regiment would effect
particular community but little.
Under the old system it would mean
plunging an entire city or county in

Camp Grant which doubtless will not

which is about six miles by electric
line has about 100000 population and
soldiers maybe seen everywhere on
holidays and evenings.
Most of the Minnesota boys were
held up for twelve day period be-
fore being issued passes It's a
customary thing. Of course orders
in one battalion differ from those of
the next considerably This camp
has strict reputation and fellows
down town without proper dress or
disorderly in any way are relieved
of their pass and interned in camp
for extra duty for penalty.
This was formerly an infantry
cantonment but now is devoted most
ly to artillery. One section also con-
tains the negro soldiers. The negroes
are very hilarious fellows and it's
humorous to see them come hiking
along and whistling at route step
that would make our white troops
appear like a wake. They appear to
make very good soldiers. There are
also colored officers here likewise
British and French. Some of the
light field guns are those used by
the British at the present time with
such harassing effect. They are
ISIS and are painted in a style to
resemble circus vehicle wheels green,
yellow and white which in the dis
lance acts as camouflage.
''Some of the fellows are detailed
each day to kitchen police, some to
outside police work some to officers
mess and headquarters police, also
some to fire guard and regular guard
work. Most of the new fellows have
been getting NEGOTIATIONS conse-
quently so we fellows who had ours
get considerable police work as those
inoculated get 48 hours absence from
duty.

Nearly all the fellows in artillery

less to say we've all been trying to
figure out the necessity of mechan-

times we think we're picked for
