HERO'S BODY LAID AT REST

The remains of Private Elmer
Laverne Neeley the second boy of
this immediate section to lay down
his life for his country, as result of
wounds received in battle, during the
great World War, arrived in Clio last
week Thursday evening, and were
laid at rest with appropriate honors
in Woodlawn Cemetery the following
Sunday. Elmer was wounded while
serving in France with Co. c., 5Sth
Inf, on the first day of October,
1918, one Of his limbs having been
shattered by high explosive shell.
His wound was received after he had
participated in successful offensive
against the Germans and had reached
place of comparative safety. He
received the very best of care in one
of the military hospitals, but despite
all that could be done for him, he
passed away on November 4, 1918.
He was buried in France, with full
military honors, and when the U. s..
Government recently began the work
of transporting the bodies of her
heroic sons to their native land, at
the request of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Neeley, his body was
among the first to be sent home. FL
mer was born in Vienna Township,
March 16, 1896, and consequently
had attained the age of % years, 7
months and 18 days. He was young
man of amiable disposition, who num-
bered his friends by the score, and
through his heroic death inscribed his
name in imperishable letters on the
honor rolls of his native town, state
and country. In recognition of his
supreme sacrifice the local post Of the
American Legion shares his name
with that of another heroic son of
Clio, Harry LaBar, who was killed
just one month previously in the
operations before Metz, being the
first soldier of this section to meet
death in battle. Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Neeley, father ard mother,
Charles and Frank Neeley, brothers,
and Mrs. Agnes Remember, a sister,
survive, and in their bereavement
will have the deepest sympathy of the
community. Funeral services were
held from the NJ. P. Church. Rev.
Joseph Dibley preached an eloquent
sermon, and many members of the
American Legion, as well as a large
number of citizens, were in attend
ance. At the cemetery, after the
clergyman had pronounced the final
words of the burial service, the clear
notes of "taps" were sounded and
the ashes of the hero were laid within
the bosom of mother earth to rest
forever.

MATRIMONIAL
Daniels-Frost


The wedding of two popular young
people of this section was solemnized
last Saturday afternoon at 400
o'clock, at the M. E. parsonage,
, when Miss Anna Daniels, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Daniels, of
Birch Run, was united in marriage
to Evan Frost, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. X. Frost, of this place, the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. A. T.
Camburn. The bridal pair were at
tended at the altar by j. X. Frost, Jr.,
and Miss Gerneth Frost, brother and
sister, respectively, of the groom, and
also by Robert Daniels, brother Of the
bride, and Miss Shirley Harmon.
The Messenger finds great pleasure
in saying that the groom is one Of
the most estimable young men in this
community; Industrious, reliable and
of splendid character. The bride is
said to be a most charming young
lady and thus we are justified in ex-
pressing the sincere hope that the
future of Mr.. and Mrs. Frost may be
marked by that abundance of good
health and good fortune to which
their character entities them. Fol-
lowing the wedding, the young people
left on a motor trip through the
northern part of the state, and we
understand that it is their expecta-
tion to make their home in Clio.

ELMCREST WINS BIG HONORS

At the big New York State sale
of Holstein-Friesian cattle, held at
Syracuse, last week. the cow, Rosie
Marcedes, sent by Elmcrest Farm,
owned by Spillane & Geiger, took the
grand championship prize for type
amounting to $500. Inasmuch as
cattle were sent to this sale from all
over the United States, and only
selected specimens, at that, it may
be seen that the Elmcrest representa-
tive attained a very distinguished
honor. Michigan won first on this
COW, as above noted, and also won
the prize for the best three cows
sent from any state. The three head
sent to the sale from Elmcrest Farm
brought very satisfactory prices.

ONCE AGAIN AT HOME.

This cottage in the maple shade,
The blue and sparkling bay,
From Washington the beautiful
Has inveigled me away.
I repeat this old time adage,
An old truth, when I say
"That when the sun is shining
It's then one makes the hay"
So left the old Potomac
And the Capitol so grand,
With its tons Of steel and marble,
Which eternally shall stand.
Let us tell it to the world
It's the WONDER Of the Land.
Two hundred steps and twenty
To the dome you'll find laborious.
But when you reach that height
The view is magnificent and glorious
And the eagle still is screaming
With the STARS and STRIPES
VICTORIOUS.
