Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce Cummings,
who recently sold their farm north of
town to VIM. Rowan of Chicago, ex-
pect to leave in about two weeks for
Los Angeles, California, at which
place they expect to make their
future home. Mr.. Cummings has lived
on this same place continually for
the past sixty-three years. Mrs.
Cummings has lived there since 1875,
at which time they were married
They have undoubtedly earned
change in location after so many
years in one place, but we regret to
lose them. They are a part of the
community itself and during their
many years residence here have made
themselves beloved by all with whom
they have come in contact. Their
removal to California is indeed, a
big event in their lives and where
ever they may settle down again,
we are sure they will make many
friends. They have son, Clyde,
who is connected with the Merchants
National Bank of Los Angeles, and
it is on this account that they have
decided to move so far away. We
also wish to welcome Mr.. Rowan and
family to our community. Mr.. Rowan
has, for a number of years been con
nected with the printing business in
Chicago and is an expert multi-color
pressman. We hope for him the
same success in farming that has
been his in the other line of work.

a swim. Both were good swimmers,
but Hoogenhyde went down in at
tempting to cross the bay at the
South west part of the lake. His
companion was ahead and was wad
ing to shore on the "Point" when
Hoogenhyde went down. The alarm
was quickly spread by Archie Abrams
and his son Neil who were witnesses
to the accident, and within half
hour, score or more of boats were
at the spot, and every effort made
to locate the body. In the meantime
