Obituary-Miss Lilly Rountree

Lydia Taylor Rountree, daughter OF
Major John H. and Lydia Rountree,
passed away in Platteville on Friday,
December 18th, after short illness.
The sad ending of this cheerful life
was a shock to all who knew and
loved her. In her girlhood she was
popular and beloved, and the quail
ties that made her so, endured while
life lasted, endearing her to all with
whom she came in contact.
Most of her life was passed in the
Rountree Homestead, part of it TAX
ing care of her father, to whom she
gave a beautiful devotion. Although
in i'll health during much of her later
years, her cheerful spirit was never
quenched, her sympathy was instan-
taneous and her generosity was I'M
bounded. She was an active and
helpful member of Trinity EpiscopaI
church for many years.
Thus has passed another member OF
the family of Major Rountree, the
founder of Platteville, who contributed
largely to the prosperity of the town
and state.
Surviving Miss Lilly Rountree are
one brother, Harrison H. Rountree OF
Pasadena, Calf, and sister, Mrs
Charles Hathaway of New York.
The funeral services were held at
Trinity church on Sunday afternoon,
the Rev. c. D. Franckel officiating.
The burial was made at the family lot
in Hillside cemetery.

FARM WEALTH
AT HIGH MARK
1924 Crop Value Hits Total
of $9,479,9O ,OOO.-A
Gain Over 1923.

WASHINGTON-The fields and or
chards of the country poured into the
pockets of American farmers in 1924
the benefits of crop valued at
$9,479, 100000, an amount topping the
1923 production by $753,013,000. This
is a gain of 8 per cent, according to
the major crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture, made public re-
Gently.
In 1923 the crops raised in the
United States amounted to $8,726, $780,
900, while in 1922 they totalled but
$7,S10,020,000
The more valuable crop was not due
to any increased acreage under Gun
tivation as the figures show that the
land under cultivation in 1924 was
considerably less than last year.
Increased production and an in
crease in financial returns were gen
eral throughout the list in most of
the major crops. Of the grains, how
ever, less corn and barley was pro-
duced this year than last, although
the increased price made the returns
greater. Tobacco dropped in produc-
tion as well as in price.
Larger Cotton Crop
Corn was the most valuable crop
produced during the year, amounting
to $2,450, 468,000, as compared with
$2,217 ,229, 900 in 1923, although the
corn crop in 1923 exceeded the 1924
production bym ore than 600,000,000
bushels.
