I'm loving memory Of my dear hus-
band and our father, Edward c. Jes-
ter, who departed from us January 2S,
1858:
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still
A place Is vacant in our hearts
Which never can be filed.
It's lonesome here without you,
And sad the weary way
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
Sadly missed by wife, Elizabeth, and
children, Grace, Bin and Bob. 1-28-1tp

the two projects, may be started this
fall, but the larger $4,000 addition
to the st. Johns Evangelical and Re-
formed church is not likely to get un-
derway until next spring.
Woodrow Little of the Presbyterian
building committee said that Robert
P. Alge, Findlay architect, was to
submit final plans to the committee
late this week. The committee expects
to ask for contractors bids immedi-
ately.
Approximately half of the estimat-
ed $4,000 cost has already been con-
tributed to the building fund, and
pledges for most of the remainder
over three-year period have been
received from the congregation.
Clair Fett is chairman of the Pres
byterian building committee and Carl
Marshall is the third committee men,
Der.
Wilford Geiger, secretary of the
VI
and Reformed church, reported this
week that the financial drive for $780,
900, recently conducted under Finance
Chairman Gerald Swank, was con-
sidered highly successful. The build
ing committee, he said, is planning to
proceed with building next spring.
Appointed chairman of the building
committee was Maynard Badertscher.
Other members are Ed. Badertscher,
E. L. Huntley and Mr.. Geiger.
Plans for the Evangelical and Re-
formed church improvement are being
prepared by a Dayton architectural
firm which specializes in church de-
sign.
Both of the proposed additions are
planned primarily to handle increased
enrollments in the Sunday Schools.
At the same time the First Memo
mite church congregation is in the
middle of a finance drive to raise
$65,000 for a third church expansion
program.

Lightning Destroys
Barn, Livestock
On Hamilton Farm
BlufftOn And Mt. Cory
Firefighters Save
Home, Other Buildings

Lightning started a fire which de-
stroyed barn and most of the con-
tents and, for a time, seriously
threatened the house on the Earl
Hamilton farm about one mile south
and a mile west of Mt. Cory last We'd
nesday night.
Bluffton and Mt. Cory volunteer
firemen battled the blaze which was
started about 10 p. m. in successful
effort to save the house which was
threatened by flames famed by a
strong west wind. A corn crib located
about IA feet from the flaming barn
was badly scorched but was not set
afre. The wind changed shortly after
the fire started.
The Jenera volunteer fire depart
ment, which had been called to the
scene, could not complete the run be-
cause Of the large number of cars
which lined the roads approaching the
Hamilton farm. The great number of
spectators made access by flremen to
the farm almost impossible
According to Mr.. Hamilton the fire
destroyed hay, cultivator and weed
er, a manure spreader, two sows, IA
pigs and a male hog.
Although a final estimate Of the
damage by the fire has not been made,
Hamilton said the damage was in ex-
cess of $1,000, the amount for which
the barn was insured.
Neighbors pitched in and helped
clean up the debris cauSed by the fire.
Hamilton said he planned to rebuild
the barn but was not certain when the
reconstruction would get under way.
