farm now the home of Dora Nelson,
Unionville. 1t will be remtmbered
that the cemetery at the st. Mar
garet's church, Hackney, was first
located on the hill where the ever
green trees are When it was de-
cided to locate the cemetery by the
church, Duffy was displeased, and
wouldn't be buried there. He sleeps
close by the wooden bridge at Union
vile. 1t is thought that his wife
sleeps in the cemetery at GAINESVILLE.
That she died while he was there
working on the Catholic church. We
found note given to VIM. M. Rea
on May IA, 1864, for nine dollars
and ninety cents, which bears five
cent revenue stamp. When the note
was paid the payer cut his name Off
A letter under date of Sept. 26,
1861, from John Craig to Jonn
| Sherlock tells about the divisions of
soldiers that were in camp at Park
ersburg. At this time when some
are asking for exemption and defer
ment the following should be inter-
esting:
Certificate Of non-liability, to be
given by the board of enrolment:
We, the subscribers composing the
board of enrolment of the 18th dis
trict of the state of Ohio, provided

He was confined to the bed most Of

back to normal now.
We chatted a while with Mrs.
Stanley Radcliff at their new home,
the Burdine place. Charley Bell in
formed us he is a stronger Democrat
than ever The Smith Chapel cem-
etery never looked better.
Having gone out without coat or
rubbers and brought rain, we came
home for the night, and besides
other chores We have written the
foregoing, and now it's Thursday
and we are ready to heel and toe it
again
We forgot to tell you that at the
Gordon home on state highway 76, !
we were informed that they had
their cows tested for Bangs dis
ease, the day before we were there. |
1t was done because they wanted it, |
and it was at their expense. Mrs. |
Gordon made the statement Il
wouldn't want to sell anything that I
| would not eat or let my family |
eat" If you don't remember any
thing else we have said about Mrs. |
Gordon, please remember this: If
you should find dead mouse or rat /
in your milk or cream-or see the
house cat appeasing it's hunger in |
the bucket, could you have faith I
to ask the Lord to bless the meal |
whether it be yours-or someone !
far away? AS we believe in the I
Lord, He would protect folks far
away-but as those who knowing
ly sold such food, we may be wrong
but we are inclined to think that
you will be warmed in H to the
amount of the milk, or cream. Pass
the butter, or cheese, but may it
come from farms like Gordon's.
At the Lizzie Mcconnell home we
learned she had traded cows. She
seems to be an expert when it comes
to cows. Abe Tolbert, while indis-
posed, keeps on working.
In the county seat Saturday we
met our old schoolmate. Jesse An
derson. While the family lived on
what is now the Mrs. Fannie Lyle
farm, Jesse with the rest of the
family of school age attended the
Meigs school, You don't need to
worry about Jesse owing you, he
always seems to have roll of bills
to pay off any obligation. He keeps
in touch with folks through the Nor
gan County Democrat.
