Ellis Bernhard Doan, only son of
the late Esther Bernhard Doan, and
Robert s. DoaI, was born on farm
in Penn township, Morgan county,
Ohio, March 10, 1856, and died
Feb. 7, 1886, thus completing life
span of nearly 80 years. He re-
ceived the training Of the average
boy on the farm Of that day. Farm
duties and winters in school all
were creative factors in lessons OF
industry and usefulness, which
characterized his whole life. He
had strong native ability and grad
ually became skilled in mechanical
trades, practical arts and occupa-
tions. His last business associa-
ton was with the Buckeye Pipe
Line company, from which he re-
tired some years ago. Throughout
his whole life he kept a keen inter
est in current affairs. He possessed
a good voice, and was an apprecia-
tive musician. He listened to the

He was a member of ST. PauIs
Methodist Episcopal church, Ches-
terhill. Fraternally he had been
affiliated at various times with the
orders of Odd Fellows, Maccabees,
Eastern Stars and Mt. Olive Lodge,
F.. & A. M. In these he had filled
positions of trust and honor. One
year ago he received a 50-year Ma
sonic jewel. His wife who survives,
was Miss Mary Alice Carr of Penns-
Vile. Their marriage was solem-
nized Sept. Is, 1875, and practically
the whole Of their married life was
spent in Chesterhill. Two children
were born to them, Alta Doan Reed
and Dorothy Doan Zumbro Of Ra-
VIENNA, o. Miss Marian Reed and
John Reed of Toledo are grandchil-
dren. Miss Joyce Reed is great
granddaughter. One sister, Nettie
Doan Harris of Missouri, survives
None of the half brothers and sis
ters survive, the late JOS. Bernhard
being the last of the first family.
To sum up the events of long life
is not easy to do, but to know that
life was honestly and usefully lived,
the demands for love, sympathy and
kindness well needed, makes rec
ord for good citizenship approved
by man and the Great Ruler of the
Universe In all these we believe

Sugar Beet Once Grew Wild

Where the sugar beet originated
is a matter of some uncertainty, but
most authorities are agreed that it
was first found growing wild in south
ern and middle Asia, and it is known
that it was cultivated by the ancients
in southern Europe and northern At
rica. 1t was rediscovered in semi
modern times growing in vineyards
and old fields along the shores Of the

why Alix wanted me here. She's

something Alix wouldn't. In a
little while, folks here will be glad
