Funeral Held Tuesday from st. Rose
Of Lima Church and Attendance
Was Very Large.

John Flahive passed away peaceful
ly at his home on Washington avenue

siding here continuously since that
time. Nine children were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Flahive, four of whom sur
vive, namely: Michael, Mary, Nell and
John, all of whom reside here in Deni-
son. Mrs. Flahive departed this life
in August of last year.
Mr.. Flahive was a man who held the
respect and esteem of all with whom

friends and acquaintances with a
|smile. Mr. Flahive was loving, kind
and devoted husband and father.
Besides his children he leaves to
mourn his death two half brothers,
Edward Dougherty, of Denison, and
Michael Dougherty, living in Ireland;
six grandchildren and three great
grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Tuesday

Total registration


The total registration in Crawford
county to Uncle Sans reserve army
on last Thursday was 2,449, or just
Ell less than the estimated number
placed for the county by the adjutant
general. The estimated number of
registrants was 1861.
There was no holiday spirit at this
registration as there was in June,
1917, everyone taking it as matter
of course and with the grim realiza-
ton that America must win this war
if it takes every man in the country to
accomplish that end. Business and
farm work continued throughout the
day the same as usual, the registrants
just taking enough time from their
work to go to the voting places to reg
lister.
1t was not an uncommon thing for
the various registrars to register faith
er and son. The twenty-eight regis.
tration Offices opened at 7 o'clock on
Thursday morning and closed at
o'clock. The council of defense CO.
