OBITUARY..


Mrs. Sara Naylor passed away Fri
day, August 10, 1922, at the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Emma Naylor-Lev
in Racine, Wis. osG
Mrs. Naylor was born in Drogheda
near Dublin, Ireland, of Scotch parent.
age, in 1887. At the age of II she was
taken by her parents to Canada and
two years later was brought to RACINE
county, where she has resided since
In 1860 she was united in. marriage
to Joseph Naylor and shortly after.
wards they took up their residence on
farm near Union Grove. Seven chill
dren were born to them, four of whom
now survive. They are Mrs. Esther
Neff, Mrs. Emma Naylor-Levi of Ra-
cine, William Naylor Of Bloomington
H., and Joseph L. Naylor of California
She is also survived by eight grand
children and eleven great-grandchil-
dren,
In the death of Grandma Naylor, as
her hosts of friends so loved to call
her, Racine and Kenosha counties lost
one Of their Oldest pioneers. When she
first came to Racine, it was but a
cluster of small cabins, and Milwaukee
was country village of less than a
thousand population. The Indians were
more numerous than the whites and
their wigwams and villages were scat
tered through the forests where now
our fertile farms are being titled, and
the sky-lines of our populous towns
and cities show against the horizon
then marked by the tops of giant trees
The world was young, it seems to us
SO years ago, and for Sc years Grand
ma Naylor watched and saw the work
ing out of wonderful changes. Much
of her own time was spent in unselfish
service to others. For forty years in
the community where she lived, it
seemed that no one was properly
nursed in sickness, no eyes were prop
erly closed in death, if Grandma Nay
Tor was not in attendance, and that NO
child was properly born if Grandma
Naylor was not there to supervise the
coming. Her long life was lived very
simple, life is generally viewed. Her
thoughts and hopes were simple, but
inasmuch as her life was lived in an
absolutely unselfsh service for others
inasmuch as she felt her happiness was
in the happiness only of others, and as
she felt that her own pathway through
life to the things worth while lay along
the pathway Of others, she had caught
a divine principle in right living, little
known and little used in these DAYS
1t made her life far more than simple,
it made it truly sublime.

Attorneys at An Adjourned Hearing Protest
Against the Deposed Cashier Being
Made the "Goat".
BAD JUDGMENT IS CHARGED
"a ! J
Hearing Goes Over Until Week from Tomorrow With
Understanding That All Charges Are to be
Called for Hearing at That Time.

Relatives of William G. Schlechs
deposed cashier of the Silverlake State
bank, who is new under thirteen in
dictments charging speculations of the
funds of the banking company, are
willing to make an effort to pay all
of the shortage of the banking COM
pany providing a "fair accounting" is
made to them. This was the declara-
ton of attorneys for Schlecht at the
municipal court this morning, when
the case against Schlecht was called
for a preliminary hearing. On ac-
count of the absence of Judge John
c. Slater from the city the hearing was
continued again, going over by mutual
consent of all parties interested until
a week from tomorrow. At that time
it is expected that some final action
will be taken on the preliminary hear
ing on all of the thirteen indictments
against Schlecht. 1t is possible that
Schlecht will waive the preliminary
hearing and that he will be held for
trial at the next term of the circuit
court. No announcement has been
made, however, that the preliminary
will be waived and it is possible that
attorneys for Schlecht will insist that
the state reveal its full hand at the
hearing in the municipal court.
Won't Pay for "Bad Judgment"
81 believe that the relatives Of
Schlecht are willing to make fair
settlement with the bank corporation
if such settlement is acceptable y
said Richard Cavanagh, senior mem
Der of the firm of Cavanagh and Nit
telsedt, representing Schlecht. "This
has been the attitude of these people
since the first shortage was discovered
at the bank and they are entirely hon
est in their desire to make good. What
they want is a fair accounting with
the bank and they do not want to be
asked to pay for the bad judgment
which may have resulted in poor loans
being made These people have not
the money to meet the shortage which
has been alleged by the state, but they
believe that they can raise the money
and it is their desire to pay everything
that is honestly due as result of any
shortage which may have been discov-
cred and property connected with the
official work of the former cashier.
They do not believe that they should
be asked to pay losses which the bank

NJ. E. Church Notes

We are sorry that we were unable
to hold services last Sunday on ac-
count of the seats being torn up. We
expect to have the new flooring laid
for the regular service next Sunday.
The church year is drawing to a
close. 1t will greatly aid the finance
committee if all outstanding subscrip-
tions can be paid within the next week.
All cemetery pledges must be paid.
Perhaps the amount you owe is small
and you think that it will rot matter
If it is not paid, but if you realize that
that way of thinking has caused a
shortage of $15,o0o,Oo0, perhaps you
will think again and pay your pledge.

! has sustained on account of bad judg-
ment. These have been charged in the
account against Schlecht to the amount
of over five thousand dollars"
Says Directors Passed Loans.
The attorneys for Schlecht held that
in the loans in question the board Of
directors of the bank had properly
passed on the loans when they were
made and that there had been q sug-
gestion. of thirty per cent settlement
of these loans in question. "Now the
suggestion is made that Schlecht or
This relatives should pay the losses
which have been sustained by the bank
on these loans and we do not believe
that this is in keeping with a fair set
Element. The directors had full knowl-
edge of these loans and if they were
bad they were as much responsible for
them as was the cashier of the bank"
The list of the contested loans has
not been made public in any statement
to the court, but it is understood that
the attorneys for the state have a full
understanding of the protest against
these loans being denominated as
part of the shortage charged against
Schecht.
Place Shortage at $4,000.
The attorneys representing Schlecht
have suggested that the shortage
charge against him should be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and they as
sert that they have shown their good
faith in turning over $4,000 on this
shortage This would leave total to
be paid of little less than $4,000
and it is said that if this were paid it
would nearly reimburse the stock
holders Of the bank for the call of
$3.50 a share recently made BY the
state commissioner of banking against
the stock of the bank.
It is regarded as certain that if the
proper financial settlement can be
made efforts will be made to secure
the parole OF schlecht. "If it is shown
that every penny of the fair shortage
has been made good" said one Of the
Schlecht attorneys, "even If Schlecht
is convicted Of the Scharges made
against him we are hopeful that
court would be able to take into con-
sideration the fact that he has made
the losses good and the further fact
that he is well along in years"
