Mrs. Margaret Jane Grove

daughter, Mrs. Charles +. Manley, III
Fairmont, West Va, at the age of
I01 and three weeks, Mrs. Grove pass
ed peacefully away. While she had
been failing steadily for some time,
der strong vitality held out the hope
HAT death would not come so soon.
Her mental faculties remained keen to
the last anG she was fully conscious of
what was going on around her.
Mrs. Grove had been widow since
her early womanhood, her husband,
Martin Grove having died IS years
ago. She was a native of Frederick
county, daughter of the late John
Harm and Charlotte Hay Harm, an
early historic family of the Liganore
Valley, and was the last surviving
member of a family of nine children,
six daughters and three sons. A Sis
ter, Miss Ella Harm died three years
ago, April 80, in Nebraska, at the age
of 101 years and three months, and
another sister, Mrs. Gorilla Shearer
died less than four years ago at the
home of her niece, Mrs. Mcclellan
Clayton, at Mt. Lake Park, at the age
of 80 years.
The funeral services were held Sat
urday afternoon at three o'clock in
the Woodlawn chapel, Fairmont, with
the Rev. Clarence w. Brickman, rector
of Christ Episcopal church, officiating,
and interment was made in the Wood
lawn cemetery.
Mrs. Grove had loveable, gentle
manner and keen mind. She was the
first president of the Political Equality
club in Fairmont and maintained until
the last year before her death an in
terest in political affairs locally and
nationally.
Mayor and Council Meet
The Mayor and Council met last
Saturday evening, when bids for the
removal of garbage during the sum-
ner months were opened. Mr.. Hugh
Echard was awarded the contract.
The 23rd, oath, and 25th, inst, were
designated as Cleanup Days in the
Park. The town pays for the hauling,
SO the property owners will be at
no expense-only the time and effort
to gather the stuff together. There is
only one requirement and that is that
all rubbish, so far as possible, be
placed in containers and conveniently
placed along the alleys or streets so
as to be easily gathered. Nothing
detracts so much from the attractive
ness of town, especially one that
aspires to be known as summer re-
sort, than unsightly piles of rubbish,
tin cans and what not. And nothing
is more unhealthy and unsanitary
than refuse hidden away in dark and
out-of- the-way places. So, let's help
the authorities make this an attrac-
tive place in which to spend the sum-
mer. If you have place to rent,
cleanliness will help you rent it. If
a place to sci cleanliness will help
you sell it. If place in which to live,
cleanliness will help you live COM
fortably.
And while we are on the subject of
cleanliness, we want to take poke
at the trash and rubbish dump pile
near the west end of the Park. There
is everything in it from rotting vege-
tables to discarded automobile fen
ders When the wind is right, the
odor waited to some parts of the Park
is certainly not that of new mown hay
or sweet violets. 1t ought to be got
ten rid of. And we understand it will
be.
The Council decided to install
another fire plug, and we understand
it will be placed this week. That is
good news to property owners. The
more water plugs the better the fire
protection and the lower the fire haz-
zard. Then the insurance rates should
be lowered.
More power to the Mt. Lake Ball
club, although the boys did get trim
med last Saturday. Deer Park IA,
Mt. Lake Park II. But it was a So
so break, as Mt. Lake won the first
game of the series Our club hopes
to come out in new uniforms soon.
The members of the team should be
encouraged in every possible way. 1t
is good advertisement and depres-
sion blues modifier.
