Nathan Turnipseed and wife came to town one day last week and we thought we detected a smile on each of their faces, but when the train came in from the south and their daughter Cora alighted then it was that a full big grin struck both of them. Their daughter had married Wm. Job some eighteen months ago and immediately left for Occola, Iowa. This is her first visit home and there is a boy almost big enough to say grandma and grand pa, and that was something new to them. Thus it was a most enjoyable day to Nathan and Martha. Later on these occurrences will get more frequent and a nod of the head will wel come the whole family. Mr. Job lives on a fine rented farm

oS

240 acres and

has splendid crops. John McCain was born in Butler county, Ohio, Jan. 14, 1833, was married to Miss Analiza McManima July 24, 1856. He moved to Indiana in 1859 and settled about four miles east of Darlington in Franklin township,where he lived on a rented farm for several years until he bought the farm, two and a half miles north of Darlington, where they lived until a few years ago when he moved to the present home in Darlington, where he died Aug. 26, 1901. John McCain was a man that had his faults He -was a creature of creation and thus he was created. On the other hand we have only to say that he was a man of many good traits of character. If you were his friend there was nothing on earth that he possessed that was too good for you. He has been a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge for forty years, and during all that time he was never delinquent for dues or sick benefits. It has been told that he gave more of his time than any two members of the lodge in sitting up with the sick and looking after members in distress. The deceased was a man of powerful physique and physical endurance. When corn gathering time came he made it a rule to not quit work until he had cribbed his 100 bushels of corn per day. In his younger days he was known far and near as one of the greatest rail makers of the age. The funeral was conducted by Rev. A. L. West at the family residence. Interment was at I. O. O. F. cemetery.
