DEATH OF MRS. HARRY HONAN

Our citizens in general were very
much startled to learn of the death of
Mrs. Harry Honan, who died at the
Wausau hospital ON Saturday, Octo-
Der 10Th, at $40 p. m. Mrs. Roman
had been i'll one week with the infu-
enza which developed into pneumonia.
Her maiden name was Anna GoertZ.
She was born in Germany, April, %,
1887, and was therefore in her 32nd
year. She was united in marriage to
Harry Honan on the 14th of Sept,
1908. She was one of the best known
women in Wausau, having followed
the business of caterer for quite a
number of years. Her proverbial
cheerfulness and willingness to help
made her many friends and her SER
vices were sought by all. During the
present epidemic she devoted all her
time to the assistance of the sick. She
will be greatly missed from this city.
She is survived by her husband; her
mother, Mrs. A. Plautz, of this city,
and two brothers, Arthur Goertz of
Mosinee, and William Goertz, who is
in France, and one sister, Miss Meta,
of this city.
She was a member of the F. r. A.
and the Beavers.
The funeral services took place
from the home at 61S Hamilton street,
this Tuesday afternoon, Rev. w. F.
Spiegel officiating. Interment was in
Pine Grove cemetery.

STOCK FARM SOLD
Together With the Pure Bred, Reg
istered HOlsteinS-SOldt to C.
A. Tyden Of Chicago

The $50 acre stock farm of the Fen
wood Lumber company at Fenwood,
this county, together with the SPLEEN
did herd of pure bred, registered and
grade Holstein cattle, the foundation
for which was laid by the late c. S..
Curtis, were recently sold to Mr.. c. A.
Tyden of Chicago.
At the time that the preliminaries of
this deal were undertaken, the ar
rangements were for Mr.. Tyden's
brother to move to Fenwood and as
sumo the active management of the
farm, but unfortunately before the fin
alal deal was completed and the prop
erty transferred this brother was
called by death, and Mr.. C. A. Tyden
left with the farm on his hands,
something his other business activi-
ties would not permit, and he came
here with the intention of disposing
of the herd of cattle, all farm ma
chinery and also the land.
However, after spending a week at
Fenwood, during which he had oppor-
tunitv to visit the country surround
ing that village and seeing the splen-
did farms on every side for miles and
miles, Mr.. Tyden, made up his mind
that while he might not have time to
attend to the dairy business, he had
secured a tract of land that was fully
as productive as any in Illinois, where
he has two other large farms that
will command $3.50 to $500 per acre
and sooner than sell his Fenwoo6
holdings at the prices which prevail
in Marathon county he would sell
some of his Illinois lands, and utilize
those in this eourty for stock raising
for beef purposes. Acre for acre, Mr.
Tyden says, these lands will support
on pasture more cattle than any lands
he has ever seen, and he maryels thai
this line of industry has not beer
worked out upon a larger scale by
those whose fancy does not turn tC
darying. As result, instead of plac.
ing these lands on the market. as he
AT first intended. Mr.. Fyden will built
q home on one tract of land close t
the village, and next summer vii
stock the farm with young beef ami
mails during the whole of the pasture
| season.

New rules for the county booths at
the Wisconsin Potato Show in Milwau-
kee, Nov. 20-24, promise to make the

exposition are that 10 bushels are re-
quired in each couYty exhibit, that

county may show three samples in
the county booth, and these three
samples may also compete in the
standard variety class. Special re-
frigerator cars are to be provided for
all potato growing counties.
Every winner in the county competi-
ton gets banner and a cash prize.
First prize will be $40; second, $50;
third, $40; fourth, SIS; fifth and sixth,
$40 each. The booths will be judged
