GIRL BURNED TO DEATH

Last Sunday evening, while at
tempting to start fire in the kitchen
stove, Miss Beulah Seib, Is year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Seib,
was burned so severely that death re-
suited few hours later. Miss Seib
and her parents formerly resided in
this vicinity and for time she at
tended the public schools here, but
laterly they have resided in Goodrich
and it was there that the sad accident
occurred. The facts concerning the
occurrence seem to be that the young
lady was pouring kerosene oil on the
fire from a can when it suddenly ex-
ploded, covering her clothing with the
burning fluid and setting the kitchen
on fire. She ran from the room and
her mother and grandmother, who
attempted to extinguish the flames in
her clothing, were themselves quite
seriously burned. The grandmother,
Mrs. Gustie Seib, in particular, was
very painfully burned about the arms
and hands. They were unable to ex-
tinguish the flames, however, until
the child was so seriously burned that
death ensued on Monday morning,
April z, 1919. Neighbors came
promptly to render what assistance
they could, and while the kitchen had
caught fire, it was covered with a
steel roof and they were thus en-
abled to save the rest of the house.
Funeral services for the young lady
were held from the home of her par
ents on Thursday morning, and the
remains were laid at rest in Thetford
Center cemetery. The many friends
of the family who reside in this vicin-
ity will sympathize with them most
deeply in their bereavement

NEAR CENTENAR|AN
PASSES AWAY
MRS. JANE. MOODY WAS OLDEST
PERSON IN COUNTY
Born in 1919 She Would Have Reach
ed the Century Mark on
Sept. l, Next.

Mrs. Jane Moody, for more than 40
years resident of this locality, and who
would have been 100 years old on her
next birthday, Sept, /, 1919. passed
away at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
VIM. Garland, Monday afternoon, Apr.
z, 1919, of the infirmities incident to
her very advanced age, which was 80
years, months and 7 days.
Mrs. Moody's maiden name was Jane
Blakeslee, being the daughter of DAN
iel and Phoebe Blakeslee, born in lad
ison County. N. Y, Sept. /, 1919.
She was united in marriage to James
Moody, at Corning, N. Y. in 1889, and
was the mother of nine children, six of
whom survive. Among her descendants,
also, are IL grandchildren, 19 great
grandchildren and great-great-grand-
children.
1t was given Mrs. Moody to live
through the wonder age of this world,
steam, electricity, the railroad, the
steamship, the telegraph, the telephone
and numbers of the other wonders of
the present day all having been brought
into practical use during her lifetime,
No similar period in the worlds history
has been marked by progress at all
comparable to this.
Mrs. Moody was greatly esteemed by
many friends who had known her for
years, and among her own kindred her
memory will be treasured as the faith
full wife and loving, devoted mother.

came member of the Baptist church,

ago, she became member of the M.
E. church and remained so until her

MICHIGAN GOES DRY
BY OVER $4,000
ALL BIG CITIES SAVE DETROIT
VOTE DRY
Vienna Township Makes the Banner
Record in Cenesee County
on Liquor Question

By odds the most important issue
of the election last Monday was that
involved in the constitutional amend
ment which proposed to restore the
liquor business to legal status in
Michigan, and the verdict given by
the people was of so decisive char
acter that it should settle the ques-
tion for many years to come.
According to the latest available
returns the Drys polled 346,675 votes,
as against 231,275 polled by the
Vets, a majority for the Drys of
145, 400.
Detroit was the only big city in
Michigan to give a majority for the
resumption of the sale of liquor.
Here the Vets secured S9,203 votes,
as against 56,494 cast by the Drys, a
majority of 32,8O9 for the former.
Grand Rapids, Flint, Kalamazoo,
Houghton, Marquette, Saginaw coun-
ty, Bay, Macomo, Washtenaw AID
Monroe counties were among The
former wet strongholds that went
over to the dry column.
In Flint the vote stood, Dry 1914,
Wet 4,670, majority for the Drys of
4,244. Flint also voted for the new
market, memorial armory and new
metropolitan park.
Vienna Township made the banner
record for the county and probably
one of the best in the state on the
liquor question, the vote standing
644 No and 83 Yes, a majority for
the Drys of 561-almost seven to
one. The good women of the town.
ship are entitled to no little credit for
this showing. The nearest approach
to this record that we have learned
of was in Dawson and Richfield town
ships, where the Drys had four or five
votes to one.
AS a contrast to Vienna's record,
we might mention that made in
Frankenmuth where the vote was
$40 Wet and 46 Dry, little more
than eleven to one for the Vets.

PRESTIGE OF C. O.P.
Entire Republican Tickets of Vienna
and Thetford Elected by De-
cisive Majorities

In the elections held Monday the
Republicans were generally success
full throughout Michigan, a result
which proves that women voters OBJ
serve party lines as closely as men
and that their admission to the ballot
is not likely to change the relative
strength of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. On moral issues
such as the liquor question women
are quite likely to vote as a unit,
but on political and partisan issues
they will very properly vote as citi-
zens rather than feminists. Every
candidate on the Republican state
ticket was elected by the normal
big majorities.
Result in Vienna
In Vienna Township the whole
number of valid ballots cast was
773, the vote on the various candi-
dates being as follows:
Supervisors. j.. Pound, 6O6; Harry

Thetford

In Thetford the Republicans swept
the entire board for the first time in
a number of years. Herbert Haas,
popular young Republican, who
had served the township very effici-
emily for several terms as Highway
Commissioner, and who was chairman
of its War Board, was elected super
visor over A. j. Brabazon, who ran
on the Union ticket. and who had
served as supervisor for nineteen
years. In complimenting Mr.. Haas
on his victory, we also feel it due to
Mr.. Brabazon to acknowledge the
the faithful and successful manner in
which he served the people of Thet-
ford during his long tenure of office.
Following is the vote in Thetford in
detail:
