in the county of Wicklow, of the Pro-
vince Linster, Ireland, Sept. 10, 1874
and died at his home in tn etownship
of No Lancaster, April 10, 1925.
His father and mother moved to Ac-
ton Vale, Province of Quebec, Can,
when he was IA years old, and settled
in the virgin forests of that region.
Here he piled the axe and gained much
of his affection for good wood and it's
working, so that upon leaving home, at
about 20 years of age, and after work
ing at various other occupations lead
ing him from New York City west
ward into Iowa, he took up carpentry
as a trade, working in Dubuque, Ia,
and Benton, Wis, and building many
of the first dwellings and schools on
the Iowa prairies west of Dubuque.
He then worked as a bridge builder
on the St. Paul railroad for a time,
and as foreman of tridges and build
ings on the c. & N. w. for nine years.
When thus employed he met, and on
September II, 1884, married Miss Jane
A. Beetham of Fennimore, Wis, and
built home for his bride in that vii
lage. Here were born his two children,
Henry and Mary.
In 1889 he moved with his family
onto the farm where he lived a happy
and contented life until his death.
For the past II years he had been
sufferer from diabetes, to the raw
ages of which disease he finally sue
cumbed. He was ever of a happy dis
position and bore his suffering with
the greatest of fortitude until the end.
Surviving him are his wife, Jenny"
son, Henry, and daughter, Mary;
three brothers, DR.. Joseph of Lancas-
ter, Dr. Peter of Burlington, VT, and
William, an express messenger of St.
Paul. Mimi, and two sisters, Mrs.
Thomas Duff of st. Hyacinth, Que,
Can, and Miss Edith Godfrey of Pitts
ford, vt. Besides these are a great
many nieces and nephews and their
children to whom the name uncle

and many friends gained by his strict
integrity in business and by his CHEEKY
and loveable personality

part of the teachings of the genera
tions gone by. Parents insisted on it.
Children remembered it.
If there is anything that shows the
hallmark of the true gentleman or
gentle-woman it is respect for old age.
The sign of good breeding is chivalry
toward the weak, the humble and the
old If we parents of today do not
teach this to our children we are do
ing them an irreparable injury And
we lose the chance to gain a crown of
nobility for ourselves.
When we are kind to the old we
honor our own parents.

We had a pleasant visit with Mr..

I wonder if your listeners got Mex

day? The American Legion gave a
minstrel show on that night which
was broadcast from a powerful sta
ton. We tried to listen in from the
different places but the static was too
much for us-the only thing we could
hear distinctly was the applause which
was typically Mexican in its enthus-
iasm.
Ted and sang of course we were
anxious to hear him. He is command

very much in love with this sunny
Southyand. Mrs. Barney (Charlotte)
is with the state board of health

ferences, etc. Betty doing laboratory

still in the consulate at Mexico City.
