Then suddenly the song was interrupted by man with a blue uniform and brass buttons, and Ryan, a few hours later, appeared in city court. Lest his voice should be harmed by the chill of the night air, Judge Mahlon H. Geissler sent Ryan to Brooklyn jail for thirty days. also insisting that Ryan pay the costs of court Ryan, being versatile chap, perhaps can fit another little tune to the buzz of an ice saw.

 She faithfully ministered to the wants of her aged father and mother and aunt. at the same time making a brave fight against the dread disease Whese beginnings had been discovered shortly after she came home to live
 In spite of her own impaired health and the care of her dear ones she managed to run the farm to adyant- age. eagerly studying the newest methods.
 After the death of her father and mother she was urged to give UP the farm. but she insisted that she must be a producer and not an idler, and at the very last she strove to adapt herself to the need of agricultural ae- tivity to help win the war.
 From early years she has been faithful member of the Putnam Bap- list church. teaching in Sunday school as long as her health permitted.
 The funeral services were Thurs lay at her late home, attended by Rev. c. C. S. MacKay of the Putnam Baptist church. Burial was in the | Dresser family cemetery, D which she followed nearly score f relatives from the homestead. her .lf the last survivor.
