of Years Ago
Passes Away in Atlantic

William N. Henshaw died at the
home of his,daughter, Mrs. w. S.
Greenleaf, in Atlantic Thursday
evening, August l1th. He was in
his seventy-ninth year and had
been continuously resident of
Atlantic since 1884, always having
been prominently identified with
the upbuilding Of the city.
MIR. Henshaw was born at Buff
falo, New York, October l, 1S42,
the.son of Jefferson Henshaw and
wife. When he came to Iowa in
1857, the Rock Island had been
extended only as far west as Iowa
City. Leaving the train there he
walked overland to State Center,
where he first engaged in farming.
Later he entered the furniture bus
iness there.
When the civil war was declared,
Mr.. ~Henshaw left his business to
enter Company B, Second Iowa
cavalry, with which unit he served
throughout the four years of the
conflict.
Upon his discharge he returned
to State Center where, in 1866,
Miss Lucy A. Culver became his
wife. Sixteen years later they re-
moved to Extra; where Mr.. Hen
shaw engaged in the mercantile
business for two years.
At the end of this time, in 1874,
they went to Atlantic. There Mr..
Henshaw formed the partnership
of Henshaw and Ringle, to tran
sact a grain business. Upon the
dissolution of this partnership, Mr..
Henshaw became the senior mem
Der of the firm Of Henshaw and
Martin. He retired from active
attention to the business of this
store FIVE years ago.
Mr.. Hensley is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Lucy Henshaw, one
son, George II. Henshaw, Of Des
Moines, and two daughters, Mrs.
w. L. Greenleaf, Of Atlantic, and
Mrs. o. 1. Hayward, Of Allegan;
Michigan.

Visitor from East Attends
Funeral of Old Friend

Mr.. Byron E. Butlin, OF East
Aurora, New York, who is visiting
old friends here, attended the Will
lam Henshaw funeral in Atlantic
Sunday. Rev. Simpson of the
M. E. church of that city was in
charge of the services, and the
G.. A. RS conducted the last sad
rites at the grave, the honorary
pail bearers being Civil War vet
erans.
William N. Henshaw and family
we're very dear friends of the But
[lin family many years ago. Mr..
Henshaw and Byron's father were
born in Buffalo, New FORK, in the
early forties. In later years both
moved to Iowaswhere they became
acquainted and were fast friends.
Byron says it stirs old memories
for he can remember when the
Henshaws used to visit his parents,
and the drives together out into
the wild prairie when he was but
small boy. This was about thir.
ty years ago and at that time
a large share of the land around
here hadn't been broken, and the
prairies !: were filled with wild
chickens, wolves, etc. He says the
Henshaw family is the last of all
the families he knew around here
to be broken up by death. He
visited the family just two days
before Mr.. Henshaw's death and
renewed old acquaintances by
talking over old school days, etc.
Byron says that he calls his old
friends "Gold and the New Silver" !"

Marriage of Young Cou-
pie Occurs in Des Moines

Word reached here yesterday of
the marriage of Mr.. Harvey Jensen
and Miss Blanche Cline, which oc-
cured in Des Moines yesterday.
The bride was a respected and
successful teacher in our schools
three years ago. Her home was in
Knoxville but since her departure
from Extra, her family has located
in Des Moines. She has a host of
friends in this locality who speak
highly of her pleasing personality
and congenial' ways.
We have been acquainted with
Harvey for many years and know
him to be one of the best young
men in our vicinity. He graduated
from the Extra schools in 1914,
after which he attended colleges at
Lincoln, Iowa City and Ames.
Harvey, who is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. W. Jensen, was a very
prominent member of our band,
being one of our best clarinet
players, and his loss will be keenly
felt by that organization.
The marriage ceremony took
place at 10 a. M. and at noon they
left by auto for Davis, California,
where he is engaged in dairy busi-
ness, testing purebred livestock,
ETC., and will make that city their
home.
Weextend our heartiest con-
gratulations to the young couple,
and may they enjoy many years
of happiness and prosperity.

MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
WRECKS BUILDING
Flames Subdued by Fire
Team after Desperate
Struggle

Tuesday night the ringing of the
fire bell and the cry of fire again
disturbed our slumbers.
About 1890 O'Clock Mr.. Earl
Thomas, who lives in the Metho-
dist parsonage, was aroused by the
smell of smoke. Upon making an
investigation, he discovered flames
and smoke issuing from the imple-
ment building adjoining the Jour-
nal office.
Mr.. Dewey Alt, of Audubon,
happened to be passing with his
car, and Mr.. Jorgensen, of the
bakery, who does his baking at
night, was making a trip to the
|postoffice to mail a letter. Jor-
gensen joined Alt and together
they rushed up to ring the bell
while Earl was doing all in his
power to arouse the people in the
immediate vicinity of the fire.
At his cry of fire and the ring
ing of the bell, the people rushed
to the scene and almost immediate
ly the fire boys we're on the
ground.
The wind was blowing briskly
and for a time it seemed that
nothing would save either building
from complete destruction but by
the superhuman efforts of the fire.
men who did not spare themselves
in their efforts to sub due the
flames, the Journal office escaped
unharmed but the implement
building was BADLY damaged. Had
the wind not ceased blowing du-
ring the conaagration, all the ef-
forts to subdue the fire would have
been unavailing.
We owe much to Mr.. Thomas
for his promptness In giving the
alarm and to the fremen who so
vigorously fought and subdued the
flames. Had the, alarm been de-
Ilayed even for a few minutes, or
had the boys not attacked the
flames with so much determination,
in all probability all the buildings
OIL the block would have burned
which would have entailed loss
OF many thousands of dollars.
Extras fire team is making a
proud record for itself. The boys
are always proud to respond to
| the cry of fire, and cooperate
without friction, thus securing the
best results. In other words, they
are always Johnny on the spot, =
and do not lose their heads. Per-
sonally we extend vote of thanks
to both Mr.. Thomas and to our
| Volunteer Fire Company who
worked so ardently for the protec-
| ton of property, and possibly life.
