was dead before any of them could

Her remains were taken to her
own home in Niles, and the funeral
was held in her church, the United
Brethren, and conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Mullikin. The body was
laid by the side of her husband in
the beautiful Greenville cemetery
at Niles. AL and Mollie were both
members of the U. B.. church, hav-

were transferred by letter to the
church at Niles, Kan.

Mrs. Mary Burgoon Davidson

MIS-. Mary BtPSOon DaV10SOn
Mary Burgoon Davidson, young
est daughter of the late Peter and
Lucinda Sherwood Burgoon, was
born in Malta, O., Aug. 26, 1852,
and died Jan. 3, 1923, being about
n years of age. Mollie, as every
one called her, was only about four
years old when her mother died,
and after her mothers death she
made her home with her uncle and
aunt Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Sherwood
of Oil Spring Run. In 1871 she was
united in marriage to Albert David
son, son of Manassa Davidson.
Three children were born to this
union-two sons and a daughter.
Dalton the oldest, Oscar and Louise.
Oscar the second boy died at the age
of two years, on the Sherwood
farm, and is buried at Lemon Hill.
Al and Mollie as we called them liv-
ed on the Sherwood farm (now
owned by Porters) until 1882,
when together with the Havener
brothers Nelson and Dale, moved to
Kansas, settling on school lands. In
1885 they returned to Ohio, going
back to the Sherwood farm, but the
lure of the sunfiower had done its
work and on Jan. /, 1887. they once
more set sail westward, this time to
stay. 1t was in Kansas that the
daughter was born. They lived on
their farm until 1906, when they
sold out and moved to Niles where
on Sept. II, 1908, the husband was
taken. Not long after that the
daughter died, leaving a husband
and two small children. Mollie still
kept her home in Niles, but would
visit her sons in Solomon, Kan, and
also her sister who resides in Solo
mon, and it was while on one of

said he saw little value in the con.
ference of financial experts on repair.

"Poincare has thrown cold water
on the whole proposition in his
speech last Sunday" declared Lord
Birkenhead. "He will not admit OF
fixing any amount of reparations by
committee of experts. insisting
upon the figures as provided by the
existing reparations commission. He
would turn the conference of experts
into a debt collection agency, with
out taking into account. at all, Ger
many's capacity to pay.
II see little value at all in the
conference and think that the whole
proposition would be to make made,
quate the services of the American
expert. France or no one else has
ever given definite figure as TO
what Germany can pay"
Asked what he thought Germany
could pay, Lord Birkenhead replied:
II am rather out of these matters
at present and cannot say, but as
suredly it is much less now than 1t
would have been. had there been
some arrangement before the Ruhr
was occupied. Germany should be
told in plain figures what she is ex-
pected to pay and be held to that
account. She must pay. but how
