thru their efforts and planning
that the memorial will be
reality.
Conaway had occasion to talk
with the Hobo King for more
than an hour, during which time
Cole showed the sheriff stacks
Of courtesy cards from sheriffs
of every state of the Union. In
one of his bags, Cole carried
newspaper clippings of his ven
tureS that could easily make up
a complete book. Among other
honors, Cole has collected the
following various honors since
becoming a knight of the road"
at the age of 12:
Full Kentucky Colonel, hon
orary deputy U. S. Marshal,
honorary deputy sheriff of count
less counties throughout the
country, honorary chief of
police of uncountable cities, cita-
tions from governors of states
and honorary degrees from in
stitutions of learning.
His appearance was not what
we ordinarily expect of hobo.
His white, wavy hair was we'll
brushed, every hair in place
Quoting the sheriff, "he had the
well-groomed appearance of a
senator"
Originally from the state of
Pennsylvania, Cole has travelled
thousands of miles here and in
foreign countries, in his 50 years
as a hobo.

Gas Rates Discussed
Bernard Reed, who represents
the Ohio Fuel Gas company in
the Caldwell area, was present
Tuesday evening, to discuss a
rate scheduled for the village of
Caldwell.
Atty. l.. c. Young, councils
legal advisor, led the discussion
with the gas company represen-
tative, but no definite resolution
was made by either the company
Or the village.
Atty. Young pointed out to
Reed that the present rate
schedule for Caldwell, as set
up by the company, is not salts
factory to the local consumers
nor 10 the cOuncll.
1t is expected that an agree
ment will be worked out soon
with the Ohio Fuel Gas company
regarding local rates.
Caldwell Lake Complaints
1t was moved and seconded by
council to have the steel bottom
roW-boat at the Caldwell dam
repaired. The boat has not been
in use for some time and was
purchased for the use of care
taker in his work or for trans
porting fishermen across the
lake.
Discussion was given to the
complaints of the deplorable
condition of the grounds sur
rounding the lake. Council
agreed to make an inspection OF
the grounds, especially the area
near the spillway.
Marshal Oliver reported tc
council that the dam is full, with
water continuing to run over
the spillway.

of John Gray.

Oh JOIn Gray,
Today, nearly $100 have been
received and it is expected that
before actual construction begins,
the John Gray Memorial Fund
will realize many more contribu-
tionS from persons interested in
providing a memorial most fit
ting to the memory of the hon
ored soldier.
1t is reported that the Monu-
ment Builders of Ohio, Inc,
normally expect an expenditure
of nearly $1,000 in the construc-
ton of their memorials. With
what funds would be made
available locally, and supple
mented with that of the as
sociation, it is hoped the con-
struction would take the form
of a national shrine to the men,
ory of John Gray.
Noble county's John Gray is
buried in the McElroy cemetery,
in the Hiramsburg community,
where his remains will continue
to rest, even though a memorial
is planned elsewhere.
Gray, who died March %,
1868, at the age of 104 years, two
months and % days, holds the
distinction of being the second
last surviving member of the
Revolutionary war in the entire
nation and the last in the state
of Ohio.

Each year, the Monument
Builders of Ohio, Inc, construct
in the state of Ohio, to the mem
ory of some great Ohioan,
whose contribution to Ohio his
tory has been noteworthy,
monument to revitalize their
memory to today's living Ohioans
and to the people of the entire
nation.
In 1853, the Ohio Monument
Builders constructed and dedl-
Gated the monument at Fort
Brown in Paulding county, and
in 1854 their project has been
directed toward the construction
of monument in memory of
Bullskin Trial, an historical land
mark in the Xenia community.
In 1855, the Builders presi-
dent, Joseph Carrabelli, of
Cleveland, has committed the
association to devote its efforts
toward a memorial for John
Gray. With the announcement
this week that the state depart
ment of highways would CO.
operate in the memorial con-
struction by providing ground
space at the state roadside park,
the years of effort in attempting
to bring about such a monument
to Noble county'S famous Rev
olutionary war soldier, will
actually become a reality in the
year 1855.
The decision to erect the me-
mortal at the roadside park and
not on the public square in Cald-
well, resulted in the recent re-
port noting the top position the
local park held in the number of
tourists visiting it during
the past year. Records indicate
the roadside park, located be-
tween Caldwell and Belle Valley,
ranks among the top in the state
for tourist patronage. The regis
ter maintained at the park is the
determining barometer used in
submitting such park reports.
1t is believed that this park
location would achieve greater
consideration from the touring
public and since the grounds are
always well maintained and
cleaned daily these were sup
porting factors lending toward
the decision in citing the me-
mortal to be constructed at the
state roadside park.
1t will be remembered that
during the past year, persona
contributions have been received
by the Caldwell papers with the
thought in mind TO supplement
the normal expense involved ir
the construction Of a memoria
by the Monument Builders O.
Ohio. 1t has been the local paper!

OBITUARY

Columbus O. RoWlands, son of
Charles B. and Charilla Sanford
RoWlands, was born on February
IA, 1885, near Dexter City, and
passed away in Marietta Me-
mortal hospital on May 25, 1854
at the age Of SO years, three
months and eleven days.
In April, 1882 he married Min
ME Lincicome, who survives.
Also surviving are two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Alice Fogle and Mrs.
Ruth Johnson of Dexter City
route l. eight grandchildren; one
brother, Nelson Rowlands of
Wenatchee, Washington; two
sisters, Lula A. Glidden of
Akron and Sally Rowlands of
Dexter City; eight nieces, seven
nephews and many other rela-
tives and friends.
He was preceded in death by
his parents, one sister and five
brothers, Mary E. Dillehay in
December, 1923; Jonas M. in
February, 1899; Elmer E. in
November, 1910; Pressly in April
1850; Wilber E. in July 1851;
Franklin, April, 1854.
He spent many years of his
youth in and near Cumberland,
where he was employed. Later
he engaged in farming near
Dexter City and spent the re-
mainder of his life in that vic
unity. He had a wide circle of
friends, both young and old, and
was especially loved by children.
His passing leaves a vacancy in
the hearts and lives of his rela-
tives and friends that cannot be
filled.
1t seemeth such little way
to me
Across to that strange country,
the beyond;
And yet not strange, for it has
grown to be
The home Of those of whom
am SO fond.
So close it lies that when my
sight is clear
| think l see the cleaning
strand;
l know l feel that those who've
gone from here
Come near enough to touch
my hand.
And so for me there is no
sting in death,
And so the brave has lest its
victory;
1t is but crossing with a bated
breath
And white set face, little
strip of sea,
To find the loved ones waiting
on the shore,
More beautiful, more precious
than before.
