DEATH REMOVES
EDNA BRAINARD
END COMES TO LONG
PERIOD OF ILLNESS


This community was saddened the
past week by the death Of one Of its
most estimable and beloved women,
Miss Elna Brainard, who passed from
life on Thursday evening, Sept. 80,
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Per-
sis Brainard, 315 West Liberty street.
For a number of years Miss Brain
ard has been sufferer from pulmon-
airy trouble, against the ravages Of
which was waged every possible effort
by herself and family, but which eff
forts have for some time to those near
to her been known to be proving fu-
tile. The deceased spent an extend
ed period in Colorado some time ago
in the hope that the climate there
might arrest the development Of her
disease, and altho somewhat invig0r-
ated thereby, it was apparent that
complete restoration to health was
not to be regained.
Edna Brainard was born May A,
1879, thus being in her forty-second
year at the time Of her death. She
was the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. HI.
II. Brainard, the former well known
business man of Medina until his
death a number Of years ago. The
mother and one brother, s. HI. Brain
ard, both Of Medina, are the surviv-
ing members Of the family.
The deceased spent practically her
entire life in Medina, where she was
educated in the village schools. ,,At
one time she was employed at the
Warner Hemmeter store, and later IN
q clerical capacity at the Gazette Of
fice, and her duty wherever it fell, was
performed with fidelity and care. She
was devout Christian woman, q
faithful member Of ST. Paul's Epis-
copal church, where she win be miss
ed alike as IN the home and commun-
ity, S
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home,
conducted by Rev. r. K. Caulk oi
st. Pauls Episcopal church. Inter
ment was made in Spring Grove Gem
etery. n

An event of Importance to the Jer-
sey breeders and to the farmers in
general of Medina county took place
at the Fair grounds on Monday of
this week, when the Medina County
Jersey Cattle Breeders association
sold 43 head of pure bred animals.
The sale was under the direction
of J. V. Gotta of Charlottesville, Ind,
and the auctioneer was Col. d. L. Per-
ry Of Columbus, Ohio. These two men
have handled more pure bred Jersey
sales than any others in the country.
1t was a real treat to hear the work
of the "Col" when selling these cat
tie.
The crowd was late in getting to
the grounds. At about II 80 the morn
ing session was started with an ad-
dress by l.. P. Bailey, a veteran breed
er of Jerseys from Barnesville, Ohio.
Mr.. Bailey gave an excellent address
on the Importance of community ef-
fort, and gave concrete examples OF
what this has meant to the breeders
of his county. After this address the
crowd was served with a fine lunch
prepared by the wives of the club
members, and an added attraction was
excellent music by the Brunswick
band.
At 1:30 the sales manager called
the meeting to order and introduced
Prof. Erf of the Ohio State Univers-
ity, who gave an excellent short talk
on the value of improved dairy stock.
His talk was just the kind to start
off the sale in good shape.
The first COW sold was presented by
Grant Chidsey of Brunswick. She was
beautiful heifer with a butter fat
record of 446 pounds as a yearling.
She was purchased by E. c. Robinson
& Son Of Copley for $675, the top
price of the sale. From the start of
selling the cattle brought acceptable
prices, tho not high.
Anyone looking for start of fine
pure bred Jersey cattle could get it
here for reasonable price. Several
cows sold for over $3.50 a piece. The
total for the 43 head, including
calves, was $3.50, an average Of
$177.25 a piece. There were Is cows
that sold for 5000 or over, with an
average of 1902.
D. B. Carver of Spencer, was the
heaviest buyer, taking five head at a
total cost of $1165 an average of $233
Mr.. Carver is starting herd of pure
bred Jerseys and made selection Of
a fine lot Of cattle. The second heavy
buyer was E. C. Robinson & Son of
Copley, who took five head at $1095,
and average of $219. They were the
purchasers of the top COW.
Other buyers were I. l.. Wilkinson,
Brunswick; Harold Burr, Lodi; R. /.
Knapp, Lodi; Grant Tillotson, Bruins
wick; Lyle Ganyard, Everett; Tom
Brown, Jr. Spencer; G. V. E. Chalfant
Leroy; C. E. Dickerman, Medina, and
several others in the county
. The club put up clean sale and are
to be congratulated on the excellent
start they have made. 1t is hoped
that they will stay together and that
next year they will come back with a
finer bunch than they presented this
year. It is certain that a continuance
of the kind of sale just held with it's
high quality will soon put Medina
county in the forefront as Jersey
breeding center.

TWO FINE SESSIONS
OF S. S. CONFERENCE

Officers of the Medina County Sun
day School association have every
reason to- be gratifed over the sue
cessful conference held in Medina last
Friday and Saturday. 1t was large
ly attended and the representation by
townships was general.
The program for both days was very
lengthy and was published in the
Sentinel last week.
The talks by Mrs. w. d. VanVor-
his Of Findlay were of especial inter-
est, and contained much excellent ad-
vice and counsel to girls. Her ad-
dress on Friday evening, "Dare
Greatly" was exceptionally fine and
thoughtful.
"The Value of a Clean Body" was
the subject of an able address de-
livered by DR.. J. r. Gleason of Me-
dina, and was directed principally to
the boys.
State Supt. Walter E. Moore's dis
cussion of the disinclination of boys
at the age, of or 10 to attend Sun
day school, was frank and logical,
and the speaker urged the Importance
of discarding old-time methods in
gaining the interest of youth in Sun
day school work.
The joint session of the boys and
girls classes was held Saturday night
and the closing program was of un-
usual interest. Chas. Smoyer Of
Akron gave an eddresss g. CCiit.izen-
ship and Its True Meaning" and
County Supt. Knapp spoke on the sub
ject, "Our Years Work Ahead" Both
addresses were thoughtful and well
received.

"The Real Task, an address Of wis
dom and counsel.
