custom.
Many in Wauseon will learn with
sincere regret of Mr.. Williams de-
mise. He was one of the men who
have laid the material foundation of

among those who were real builders
in its development and progress.
He was the son of Henry B. and
Mary Lyon Williams, and was born
in Medina county, September. 1910
he came with his parents to Flu ton
county in 1853, the family locating
at Lena in Clinton township; In 1866
he came with his father to Wauseon
and established saw and planning
mill on the site of the present Lum-
Der Yards of H. H. Villains & Son
This mill prepared many thousands
Of feet of lumber that has gone into
the homes and other buildings, both
public and private in Wauseon and
vicinity and in fact nearly all parts
Of the county.
It was Mr.. Williams who in Later
years associated with his son anc

steiner, of Warren Pa. He leaves
to mourn their loss, his wife, three
brothers five sisters, a number of
nieces and nephews, other relatives
and many friends.
This, in brief, is the history of an
other who has quietly and incon-
spicuous!y travelled along the path
of human life to the final goal of h s
destiny, seeking not high gift or
honor at the hands of his fellow man,
nor exalted station IN hs sphere,
-ontent to find and faithfully per-
form his allotted task, but gathering
around friends bound to him by ties
that WI endure beyond the grave
friends tried, found true he ever
kept, ne'er bid adieu but bound them
him with fir endships golden chain
Which are never severed nor slander
cut in twain.
Funeral services were held under
he auspices of the Anc'e lent Accept
ed Scottish Rite, Valley of Toledo
and participated in by Defiance Com
mandry, Kn ght Templars, in the
Congregational Church Thursday
'fternoon. December 5th. Rev. A

ciating ministers. Interment was
made in Wauseon cemetery.

FAITHFUL SERVICE

No man of Fulton County will be
longer or more kindly remembered
for the services he has rendered
han Mr.. AL Stranahan who passed
to his rest last Sunday morn ng.
On April 18th, 1905 he was ap-
pointed by County Commissioners,
g. ID Newcomer, c. H. Stutsman
and E. H. Richie as jan tor and
custodian of the Court House
grounds, he retained that position
until November Both, 1918, a period
of 13 years and seven months; dur
ing all that time, the neat and at
tractive manner in which the court
house and grounds have been kept
has been a matter of pride VIII ch
every citizen of the county who has
had occasion to visit the County-seat
has felt. He was "always on the
job" and nothing seemed to escape
his attention.
To the county officials and their
deputies and clerks, he was a sort
of sublimated grandfather who
found time to be good to them all
and look after their welfare and
comfort. 1t was a mark of their af-
fection and esteem for him that old
and young alike called him DAD
and there is sncere sorrow in al
their hearts, now that he has left
them.
During the last month of his life
though unable himself to attend tC
the duties at the Court House ht
would manage someway to get from
his home to the Court House to give
personal directions to his substi
tutes.
Those of us who had the privilege
of meeting him daily will miss hin
as one of our best friends and hi
memory will continue with US ~
that of one who made Of his dali.
work a fine art and upon who's
fidelity we could always depend.

THREE BRANCHES
! Letters From Fulton County Boys
Representing Three Branches Of
u. S. Service Overthere Noah
Kretz, Artillery, Merritt Blair,
Engineer-Cecil Griffin, Air Ser
v.ce-All Doing Their Part.

The home folks who were made.
happy by the generous bunch of
overseas letters which arrived
Thanksgiving week, have been very
generous and in consequence we have
the privilege of presenting to our
readers both last week and this,
number of these letters. r;era is
group of three from which we make
extracts, representing three differ
ent branches of the service. The
first is from Private Noah Kretz, of
Battery X. '7th Field Artillery who
writes from France under date of
October 10Th to his mother, Mrs.
Joseph Kretz answering the first
letter he received from her after ar
rivng in France, he says:
"Tell pa, wish l had a small
g'ass of cider, l bel; it would
taste pretty good. All we have here
is French wine, it is as sour as vine
gar but you ought to see the French
men drink it they just pour it down.
You are French and ought to un-
derstand this: vinush, that is the
French name for it, and the red
wine is called "Winblum," it is moth
ing but grapevine.
Tell Father my work is in the ar
tillery. We shoot those big guns;
they are big too, the shells weigh ITO
pounds; you can see one man can
on'y carry one at time; when they
drop it makes hole in the ground
big enough to put three horses in.
Ask him how he would Ike to hear
about 200 of them shot at once, all
in row? We must use cotton IN our
ears and sometimes it jars out. You
ask me if l have seen any Germans.
l have seen thousands of them. l
am wearing band ring now that
one gave me, a prisoner, who gave
it to me and said it was Roman gold
Tell Kathryn 1 will bring her some
souvenirs, for l have lots of them.
am now in a building we drove the
Dutch out of about a week ago.
Tell Everett 1 am in the End Divis-
ion; when he reads about them he
can think of me. Where is Clar-
ence? Is he in France?
l will close for tonight.
Love to all, Your Son

YEARLY REPORT
Board of County Visitors Make An
nual Report To Probate Court
Four Meetings Held-Lockups I'm
satfsfaGtOry-Heating System in
Tubercular Ward Inadequate.

During the year the Board has
held four regular meetings as fol-
.ows: March 8, May 81, September
% and November 20:
These meetings were all held at
the Lnfirmary.
The Fulton County Infrmary has
never been in better condition than
at the present time. Under the
management of the Supt. and Matr-
on, Mr.. and Mrs. Bay Jones, every
thing is in fine shape and the in
mates well cared for.
On Sept. 21 the several Lock-ups
of the county were inspected.
Generally speaking, the Board did
not find the Lock-Ups in a very sat
isfactory condition and recommend
that more attention be given them
The general excuse for their unkeot
condition is that the Lock-ups are
so little used, but the Board consid-
ers that when they are needed, there
is no time to get them ready AND
suggested that the blankets and cells
be aired and cleaned at stated inter.
val.
We feel we cannot speak to highly
of the condition in which the Sheriff
and his wife keep the County jail.
The Board finds the heating sys.
tenn at the Hospital does not warn
the Tubercular ward satisfactorily
and have recommended that the
County Commissioners either put W
a separate heating stove or see thai
the present heating system is i'm
proved.
