family, removed to Wapello coun-
ty, Iowa, and remained there a
few months. In the following
May they moved to Audubon
county and settled on tract of
land which is now a part Of the old
town of Oak6eld. On this tract
they lived several years and then
sold it and purchased farm on
the west side of the river. August
10Th, 1861, he enlisted in the de-
fence of his country, being mem
Der of the Second Iowa Battery.
In February, 1862, he was sent
South to Island No. 10, taking

enc days before reaching Corinth,
taking part in che first and second

INTO the county with a family to
make permanent home.
His affiliation with fraternal So

Oddfellows and Elks of which he
has been a prominent member for

In the passing Of John T. Jen-

Its most honored citizens, and it
can be truly said that the world is
better for his having lived in it.

Several plans were submitted to the advisory council. which has been called into a special meeting tomorrow morning to draw up arrangements satisfactory to both minors and majors" Should the advisory council adopt a plan tomor- row 1t will be submitted to the min nor leagues concerned for action.
