claimed as His victim a friend anC
, neighbor, Edward Donovan, on Fri
| day, February 2Sth. About three
, months ago Mr.. Donovan's healtI
) became so bad that he had to stoI
! work and was under the doctors
| care, but didn't entirely give up, un
til five weeks ago, the doctor told hin
= he would have to remain in bed
| which he did, and right away was
, paralyzed and never spoke again
Two or three days before his deatf
he developed pneumonia, which re-
suited in his death on Friday. His
untimely death has cast a gloom
over the surrounding community
where he had made so many friends
by his pleasing personality and his
clean, honest Christian life, which
stands out as a memorial long to be
remembered. He was 35 years and
months of age. Just a young man
in the bloom of life. He leaves to
mourn their loss his widow, Mrs.
Emma Reed Donovan; one son, Bill
ly; his widowed mother and brother
John of Lincoln; all to whom he was
very devoted, and a wide circle of
frineds. Funeral services were held
on Monday p. m. at 2 o'clock, in M.
P. church of Milford, of which he
was a member, by the pastor, Rev.
J. L. Nichols. Interment in Odd
Fellows Cemetery, G. Reed and Son
of Lincoln in charge. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved family.
! While saving wood at the home of
Henry Warren on Tuesday last, Jas.
Ryan, in some way got his right hand
in contact with the saw. His thumb
! and first finger were mangled so bad
| ly that they are only stubs. The end
of the second finger was cut off and
the nail of the third was torn off. He
has suffered a great deal of pain. At
this writing he is doing as we'll as
can be expected.

gOn Saturday a. m. at 1880 o'clock
Gus Swanson, highly respected poul-
tryman of Shawnee and Miss Bertha
Welcome, a former welfare nurse of
Milford, were very quietly married
at the home of the brides parents
on S. Walnut street, by Rev. A. M.
Eells, of Presbyterian church. After
a short wedding tour through north
ern Delaware and part Of Pennsyl-
vania, they returned to their home
here. After May 1st they will be at
their handsome home recently pur-
chased by Mr.. Swanson, on the
Shawnee-Milford highway, near the
boulevard. This wedding resulted
out of a romance started some eight
cen months or more ago. Mr.. Swan
son was thrown from truck and
badly hudt, requiring a muse. Miss
Welcome was recommended to him
by his doctor. She proved so cap
able Mr.. Swanson decided he needed
a nurse to care for him the rest of
his life. We wish them much joy
and many, many happy years of mar
ried bliss.
