DO You Worry?

Worry is worse than the seven-year-
itch. You can annoint that so that you
can quit scratching little while now

{ salve for worrying. You have Just
got to cut it out by the roots and to
graft in happy disposition where it
used to grow 1t can be done. Thank
God for that!

Jeanette Elizabeth Calls,

Jeanette Elizabeth Calls was born
in the then Village of Lancaster, Feb
ruary IA, 1859 She was the daughter
of General John B. and Martha Bar
nett Calls.
She was educated in the schools Of
Lancaster, and it is a notable fact
that she was graduated in the first
class to be sent out by the Lancaster
high school. This was in the spring
of 1876. She taught in the Lancaster
schools six years and was married
October 10, 1882, to the late Richard
Meyer Jr. Many happy years follow
ed this marriage. Only those VINO
personally knew Dick Meyer" and
''Nettia Dick" can realize how mucn
these two got out of life during those
years. Nor how much they put into
the life of the community.
Three children were born to them:
Frank Calls, Martha Jeanette and
Katharine, now Mrs. Nathan.
In the spring of 1906 Mrs. Meyer
suffered a stroke, which partially
paralyzed her right side, and depriv
ed her of the use of her right arm.
With remarkable grit and determine
ton she at once set about teaching
the left hand to do the things which
the right formerly did. She learned
to sew, to knit, to crochet, and to do
many things about the house, so that
all her, life in spite of her handicap,
she continued to be most helpful to
all about her.
For a portion of the past year Mrs.
Meyer suffered from that dread dis
ease pernicious anemia, and passed
away, fortunately without great suf
fering, on Tuesday morning, July 3,
and was laid beside her husband in
beautiful Hillside on Friday after
noon, July 6.
Mrs. Meyer leaves to mourn her
loss three children two brothers,
Frank and John B., two sisters, Jessie
(Mrs. j. A Mccoy, and Bessie (Mrs.
E. E. Mccoy, two grandchildren and
many other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Meyer was the worthy daugh-
ter of brave soldier She had in her
the true fighting spirit. For seven-
teen years she fought losing fight
against such a handicap as would
have discouraged most Of us and ever
with a smile and hearty greeting for
all her friends.
God grant her peace and rest.
