ENTERED INTO REST
Mrs Joseph GribbIe.

Once again the pale horse and his
rider passed through the streets of our
city and carried away with him AS his
prey one Of the pioneer mothers of this
section. Phillippa Sampson James was
born in the parish of st. Allen, Corn
wall, England. on the 18th day of
November 1884, being the eldest child
Of the late John and Phillippa James.
In the year 1910, she came with her
parents to the United States and for
two years the family lived at Pottsville,
Penn, coming to Mineral Point in the
year 1S42; which place and the town of
Waldwick has since been her home.
On November 8, 1866, she was united
in marriage with Joseph Gribble, who
Since that time Mrs Gribble has made
her home with her children at Wald-
wick and in this city. Mrs Gribble
was the mother of eight children:
Richard E. of Dodgeville, Mrs Minnie
Trebilcock Of Chicago, Mrs Clara Uren
and j. Henry Gribble of Waldwick,
Miss Grace Gribble and Mrs Alice
Murrish Of this city and Miss Beulah
Gribble of Chicago. One daughter
Mrs Dunstan died in 1896. Besides
those mentioned she also leaves thirteen
grandchildren and four great grand
children and one brother Henry James
of Waldwick. Mrs Gribble was a
woman who excelled in many things
but she was preeminently Christian
mother; for her children she labored
and prayed, and theirs is a precious
heritage for now they rise up and call
her blessed. Mrs Gribble peacefully
closed her eyes to earth and loved ones
in the early hours Of Friday night, Jan
uaiy 3. Her life's pilgrimage closed
without struggle her lamp burned
low and then quietly went out.

late home on Monday afternoon, Rev.

gational church officiating. Large
numbers gathered at the funeral hour
to pay final tribute of esteem and re-
spect to Gods greatest blessing to man

The Centenary Movement commem-
Grating the one hundredth anniversary
of the Missionary Society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church had its formal
opening in the Methodist church in
this city last Sunday. The pastor ex-
planned the nature of the movement
and preached two appropriate sermons
on "The Stewardship Of Prayer" and
1.-The Stewardship Of Souls" at the
morning and evening services, respec-
lively.
This great campaign, which has been
inaugurated throughout the Methodist
church, is an heroic attempt to meet
the present world emergency and it's
unprecedented opportunities and obli-
cations for constructive Christian work
in almost every nation upon earth, in
Guiding our own.
The movement. in its various phases,
will continue in the local church
throughout the winter and spring of
the present year; and the entire pro-
gram will be of great interest to all
who hope that out of the sacrifice and
of the mighty world conflict
there may arise new and better world.

From Huqo Weidenfe!Ier.

Hugo Weidenfeller, who is with the 34th Inf.
in France, uuder date of Dec. l3, from Thia-
court, writes to his parents, Mr. and Mrs Philip
Weidenfeller as follows:
just a few lines to let you know that
[ am we'll and hope you are th4 same,
We are having lot Of rain lately but
it is not bit cold for the middle of
December.
We are up at the front, where the
last fighting took place. Have been
here over two months but expect to
move pretty soon. We do not know
which way. Some say the 7th division
is going back to the States, others, that
it goes to Germany. If we come back
I may be home in few weeks. In a
way / would like to 20 on to Germany,
but still old United States looks pretty
good to me, and a whole lot more of the
boys.
This sure was some place for about a
month before the armistice was signed
Some of the German shells came pretty
close to Us when we were on the road
at night hauling supplies to the trenches.
The last few days of fighting we were
in a town called .Juiney, where the
shells were coming too close and thick
for comfort. After the armistice was
signed it seemed strange not to hear
any shooting.

were home on furloughs or have been
mustered out of service. John Gray
gave us some of his experiences as a
Jackie. Reuben jackson told Of seDsa
tions of flying twenty thousand feet
above ground. He also told of the
breaking Of the worlds altitude record
which was made by his Major. Richard
Brewer told of some experiences as En-
sign on the Great Lakes, and explained
the Navy ranks.

Rasmussen to break his remarkable
record of eight years perfect school
Robert Springer of the Navy and
Lester Dunwiddie of the Platteville S.

being mustered out.
The high school was reminded of the
Christmas spirit by a delightful little
play that was put on the afternoon be-
.ore Christmas, under the direction of
Miss Berry. In order to avoid a crowd
t was thought best to issue no general
invitation to this play.
The high school sent cheer in the
