OBITUARY

After an illness of only four
days, Mrs. Leland L. Marion, wife
of a former minister of the
Church of Christ at this place,
died at her home, 228 South Main
street, GAINESVILLE, Wis, at 9:35,
Friday morning, October 18th.
Death was due to acute athropy
of the liver, following the birth Of
a daughter.
Mrs. Annie Marion was born in
Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire, Eng,
May 18th, 1892, and was the only

At the time of their marriage
her husband was minister Of the
Church of Christ at this place.
and soon after her arrival among

more than the wife of a minister
she was an ideal minister's wife.
Her sweet, lovely disposition soon
won the hearts, not only of the
members of the church in which
she labored but Of the entire
community. A beautiful singer,
she gave her voice freely on every
occasion when asked, and no So
cial evening among the members
of the church or her friends was
considered complete without a
number Of solos from her sweet
voice. Evangelist Theodore M.
Hofmeister, himself song lead
er once remarked, 81 have travel
led in many states and listened
to hundreds of singers, and while
some may have greater volume,
yet a voice of finer quality, sweet
err or more musical, have never
listened to-"
In November, l9ZO, MI. Marion
accepted a call to the First Chris
tian Church at GAINESVILLE, Wis,
where they were located at the
time of her death. The husband,
the baby daughter and the par.
ents survive.
Funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon at GAINESVILLE,
after which her body was shipped
to Yale, and a memorial service
held in the Church of Christ on
Tuesday afternoon, Elders G. r.
Strobridge and d. Mccall ofiiciat-
ing Interment was made in Elm
wood cemetery, being laid at rest
beside her dear friends, Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. NJ. Rector.

Yale EntertainS Dis
tinguished Body of Men
GEORGE WALKER

One by one the sturdy pioneers
of this locality are called to their
reward, and the men and women
who came to Brockway township
as early as the seventies will all
be at rest. In those days there
were so many hardships to endure
and so many difficulties to over
come that the faint hearted had
no place in this locality.
The last one to pass away was
George Walker, who died at his
home 212 miles southwest of Yale
on Saturday, October 18th, 1921,
at the advanced age of 90 years.
Mr.. Walker was one of the real
early settlers, coming to this
township in 1870, and buying
the farm on which he lived until
his death. He was a hard worker
and as a reward for his untiring
efforts and thrift, he had built up
one Of the finest farms in these
parts.
Deceased was born in Oxford
shire, England on Dec. Bird, 1928.
When two years of age he came
with his parents to Canada where
he lived for forty years before
coming to Michigan. In 1852 he
was married to Charlotte Apple
ford. To this union were born
twelve children, seven of whom,
with the mother, survive. Those
still living are Mrs. James
Cheeseman, Brockway township !;
Mrs. r. Bruce Brown, at home !;
Mrs. James Rath, of Bay City;
Mrs. r, H. McKinnon, of Marion; /;
Phillip Walker, of Howard City;
Mrs. Robert Warner, of Cass City,
and Bert Walker, at home.
In 1871 Mr.. Walker joined the
Church of Christ, and was an ear
nest, consistent member until the
time of his death. He was a
good neighbor, true friend, and
an upright citizen. He will be
greatly missed by large circle of
friends who always found him
ready and willing to help in any
worthy cause.
His was a long life well spent,
and despite his extreme age he
has been quite active until about
year ago.
A large crowd of friends and
neighbors gathered at his late
home at 1000 o'clock Tuesday
morning to pay their last respects
to the man whom they had
learned to love and respect. The
sermon was preached by Ed Den
ison Mccall, who was assisted in
the services by Rev. G. X. Stro-
bridge, pastor of the Mechanic
street Church of Christ. Inter-
ment was made in Elmwood.

County Road Taxes
Are Not To Be Grouped
Supervisors Accept Minority Re
port of Committee This
Morning

A majority and minority report
presented by members of the COM
mittee on township and city taxes
resulted in considerable discus
sion being staged before the board
of supervisors Tuesday morning,
with the adoption of the minority
report as final.
Supervisors A. L. Wissman and
G. j. Rathfon presented the min
ority report, and supervisors w.
H. Mann, w. VanValkenburg and
Gordon H. Kingsley signed the
majority report.
The proposition of including all
of the county taxes, including the
one mill tax and the Covert road
tax in one column instead of hav-
ing them in separate columns
came up for discussion at a prev
ious meeting of the board, and
was finally referred to the COM
mittee for report. The commit
tee became divided on the propo-
sition to change the scheduling
of the taxes on the assessment
rolls, which resulted in the two
reports being presented to the
board.
At present the county tax is one
column and the one mill road tax
and Covert road tax are scheduled
in a separate column. The plan
as proposed was to include all
county taxes in one column to save
clerical work. 1t was stated that
the attorney general had given an
opinion to the effect that this
would be optional with the assess
ing officers and would not conflict
with the laws.
Supervisors Shepherd, Wissman
Zentgrebe and others contended
that the tax payers should know
the amount of each tax, and un-
der the plan as proposed they
would be unable to determine the
amount of each specific tax. The
city of Port Huron, it was stated,
lists all of the county taxes in
one column.
The minority report was finally
placed on a yea and nay vote and
was adopted by vote of % to
lS. The majority report as am
ended was then adopted, which
means that the county road taxes
will be listed in separate columns
so that tax payers can determine
the amount of each tax.

Rockefeller was to marry and that the
report was too flimsy to call the oil

that they reported the lady in ques-

marriage was to take place after the
first of the year"

Trout Get Into
Wrong Boarding
House for Diet

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.. July 90
Thousands of trout are in the wrong
boarding house." declares Prof. R.
A. Muttowski of the University of
Idaho, who is here trying to figure out
carefully selected diet for each spe-
cies.
Certain types of trout should be
planted in streams where the bugs
and insects are to their liking, he be-
lieves. And because they are not so
planted there is a waste of thousands
of fish each year.
Trout are particular regarding
what they eat" he says. IF we can
select the right place for the right
fish there will be a marked decrease
in the number of trout that die. My
work is to determine just where vari-
Gus varieties of trout should be and
this is based on what bugs and in
sects they are fond Of"
