Rev. j T.. Nuzum and your scribe
attended the funeral OF the latterss
amt Mrs. Rebecca Ellis at Stock
port Friday. BY the sketch read
We learned that she had united
with the church where the services
were held IT years ago, Nov. 20,
last. AS we looked over the congre-
cation gathered to pay last tributa
of respect. we could see but one
person who was born prior to that
date-George Yarnell, veteran OF
the Civil war, and he being one of
the youngest boys to enlist, was not
old enough to remember the above
date. She had lived and been a
part of six and mayhap seven gem
erations. No one ever talked with
her that did not go away better and
wiser. Industrious, cheerful, kind
Iy. hospitable The body wore out
but the mind remained alert to the
activities of the present, as well as
retaining vivid memory of. the
years and scenes she had passed
through.

and you alone, are the big boy, you
may feel an icicle up your spine.
What we can't understand is how
the snow stays on so long, when it
gets so warm in the day time.

Meigs. O., March 5, 1927.
Aunt Sarah Ann:-We won't be
surprised to hear of Uncle Timothy
joining the Ladies' Aid, after hear
ing about the company he is travel
ing in. We met uncle on the street
but didn't have time to chat with
him. When boy we read in Nc
Guffey's reader about a man who
helped folks in need. At that time
we Supposed it was fiction. Since
then we have heard about our good
friend Ben Wells of Millgrove who
has been pulling autoists out of the
mud in the fill at the Millgrove
bridge. Ben got up and got his
team and pulled as many as seven
machines out in one night. In the
year he never charged more than
five people, and none of them more
than 81 each. You can't know Ben
without knowing there is more truth
than fiction in folks today. When
you spoke of us not telling 1t all,
you perhaps had reference to what
we hear at the Fox barber shop.
Confideatially we are not sure our
hearing apparatus is working when
we are iR there. When we write a
book Ben Wells and John Fox will
be two Of the characters. We have
caused the price of kisses to de-
cline (the paper wrapped ones) -
Your nephew. Willie.
