Many years ago Daniel M.
Sprague whose wife had died, felt
he should again enter the race. How
he learned that Sarah Wilson who
through and by a first marriage was
in possession of a good 160 acres of
land on Meigs creek, and was III
want Of Il husband, we never learn
ed. At any rate he wended his way
trom Lowell to the Wilson home. 1t
seems everything was ripe for a un-
ion, and d. NJ. became the head Of
the house when Mrs Sprague did
, not decree otherwise He was a
graf reader. Folks at that time did
not know it, and laughed at some OF
his statements, but he was wiser
he told OF and we made fun Of are
coming TO pass in this age He
tried TO farm alta distance. For
example, once u zen We went to the
barn to curry Il horses, we found
the curry comb fastened on the end
OF a broom stick which we sawed
off back 10 curry comb handle
length and got along very nicely
untif he noticed the change After
he had expressed his feelings, We
inquired about the long handle. We
learned it was an invention of his,
SO he could stand back and curry
and not get dust on his clothes.
When we related the incident to
Mrs. Sprague, she had us purchase
the best curry comb they had in
Muttcnburg. He invented a gate
that opened and shut by turning a
crank Any me wishing to pass
through would dismount or climb
out and turn the crank which would
open the gate, when they would
mount again and ride through, then
dismount-if they had not thought
to lead their steed through, take
off the crank, put it wise versa and
crank the gate shut. The model
which was exhibited at the county
seat for a time, was the only one
made. Somewhere he got formula
for making Green Mountain salve.
While Mr.. Sprague never realized
much from the making of the salve,
it was good nevertheless. Only
few months ago we fourd some OF
this salve which had been manufac-
aured by a medicine company, nicely
wrapped and sold to our merchant
by the trade. Some time before
Mrs. Sprague's death Mr.. Sprague
had a sore come in the corner of one
of his eyes. He doetored with spe-
cialists but it continued to eat Af-
ter Mrs. Spra gue's death, he went to
Lowell, where he was cared for by
his daughter. AIDA Nau, where his
death occurred years afterward.
When in Lowell we spoke of him,
when the gentleman with whom we
were talking told us he had visited
him nearly every day in his last
weeks, and that the cancer had
eaten all the flesh off his face, and
he said when l say all, l mean ALL"
We believe we are right when we
say he had two children-Mrs. Nau,
spelled with U, and pronounced as
though spelled nav, and William,
both deceased. When their father
came to Bristol the children were
small. After Will got old enough
ne clerked in the village stores.
later in the Coulson store. Malta.
From there he went to Marietta,
where he travelled for a wholesale
company, He served his city as
mayor. We believe Mrs. Sprague
and son are still residents of Ma

all his life on the same farm. He
died of heart trouble. He leaves
one brother Churk of the home,
and one sister, Mrs. j. A. Ivers of
McConnelsville. He was an esteem
ed citizen, kind neighbor, and one
who will be missed by all who knew
him. His sister Mrs Ivers had of
ten visited with him and their
brother, and had been with them in
the last weeks of his illness. She
had been at their home since the
middle Of December. She returned
to her home in McConnelsville just
recently, to spend short time look
ing after her affairs, and was at her
home when the news of her broth
er's death reached her. She left for
their home at once, to be in attend
ance at the funeral.
