SALT LAKE CITY Judge,Erwin Writes of Western Travels MEETS OLD ACQUAINTANCES I Have Traveled Over Three Thousand Miles and Have Only Covered About One-Third of Their Journey. Salt Lake City, July 12, 1907. Dear Lew—Here we are again, after a perilous ride over the Rocky mouni •ains. We had a very piesant stay in I Colorado. We met ueorge Musser, formerly of Linn Grove and F. W. I Hofer, formerly of Berne at Colorado Springs. They both have the indications of prosperity. We met one old friend at Denver. J. W. Robbie once a resident of Monroe township in Alien county. We meet so many people from Indiana, and especially from a a county, that we feel at home most of the time. Yesterday morning I went into a barber shop at Grand Junction in Colorado, and met Frank Hontta from Geneva. Today, as I stepped from the door of the hotel Kenyon, where we are stopping. I was hailed by Johnnie Hale from Decatur, who has been here and in California the last eight years. I did not know him at first, but he knew me. Colorado is a great state. The most that we saw of it rocks, mountains and narrow valleys. We followed the Arkansas river from Mutchinson Kansas to Pueblo. Then, after going to Colorado Springs and Denver, via Same Fe. we returned to Pueblo and struck it again and followed it to Salida. CoL. passing through the Grand Canyon. While passing up the mountains from Pueblo to Salida we struck a cloudburst, which washed the rocks and sand onto the tracks, so that we were compelled to spend the night on the mountains, where the mad dashings of the Arkansas as it came down through the Royal Gorge, lulled us to sleep, while a force of men shoveled about four feetrof sand and rocks off the track in two different places and built a new bridge. This was Tuesday night, and of course, it put us into Salida twelve hours late. There we took the route leading over Marshall Pass. This is the finest scenery we have encountered. We visited the Garden of the Gods, at Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak Glenn Eyrie. Manitou with its springs and baths, the Cave of the Winds, up William s Canon, the Royal Gorge, up the Arkansas, but the Marshal Pass has them al! beaten. In going up the! mountain we travel over the famous Horseshoe Bend, where we could look down two thousand feet and up as many more. We could look out one side of the car and see three railroad tracks and out of the other side at the same place and see two others that we were compelled to pass over before reaching the summit. In going down the range, we passed through the canon of the Gunnison river with its thousands of waterfalls and cascades and walls of blue, white and red sandstone, the most beautiful sight the world contains toJay. It would be useless to undertake to picture it in words, for no man could adequately describe it. No painter could paint it. No sooner is one scene or grandeur gone than another more beautiful comes on. We started from Denver Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock and spent that night on the train, expecting to reach Salida at 5:50 p. m. We did not take a sleeper, but had reclining chairs, and fared fairly well.

We got to Grand Junction W ednes- [ day evening at 8:90 o’clock. Spent the night at hotel LaGort and leit tor this place at l:0o o’clock p. m. Was due here at 9:00 o'clock p. m..' but encountered two freight wrecks in the mountains and got here instead of 9:00 p. m. at 6; 30 this morning., having spent another night in the mountains, along the bank of the Grand river. We have now traveled 3.936 miles, and have about 6.000 more to make before we complete the circle, but we will travel faster from this on. " e leave tomorrow noon for Los Angeles, about 1,500 miles from here, where we expect to land Monday at 7:36 p. m.. and hope to get some word from home. We have seen it all. as we have . only traveled in the day time, except where unavoidable accidents compell-1 ed us to be out nights. This is a beautiful city, right on the west side of the Wasatch mountains. and while I writing this I can look out of the window and see the lights on the foothills, where many of the better class live. A fine breeze is coming from the mountains, and makes the nights pleasant to sleep, the thing which Mrs. Erwin is now doing with a good deal of relish. I wish you would send me a copy of the Democrat to Livingstone, Mont.. where we expect to be in about ten days. Tell Harry Moltx and Will Shrock they want to put something on in Decatur that will make some I money for them and build up the • city, and will beat the cash register, business that they should secure Pike s Peak and the cog railroad. I With kindest regards. I am Truly yours. R. K. ERWIN. o OBITUARY. Sorrow is not unknown nor grief a stranger in this mortal life. "The. race is not to the swift nor the battle: to the strong” when we reckon with. the grim reaper. Death. All seasons ■ are his own. Ruthlessly he breaks an i opening bud here and plucks the rip- l ened fruit there. Home ties, the sweetest fellowships on earth. are ’ unsparingly broken: life's hopes and fondest anticipations are blasted, and I those who remain are set adrift alone! in the voyage of life. It has become the duty of the hour: to chronicle the departure from this ’ life of Tena Kern Edington. She was the daughter of Philip B. and ; Mary E. Kern and beheld the light of day first on August 14th. 1572. She spent her childhood in Adams county. I was educated in the district school i and later graduated from the Decatur' high school with the closs of '96, six of her classmates serving as pall i bearers, tenderly bore her to her last i resting place. Two years after her I graduation, she was united in marriage with Frank Edington. The voy-1 age of their wedded life was happy , and smooth, save as interrupted in \ the last few years by ill health, which | necessitated frequently the breaking | of the home. In her sickness she was, patient. Fully conscious of the nature i of her disease, and what the ultimate I would be. she was not in despair, nor i given to fear. Much as she desired J to live, she was resigned to the will I of God. In her weakness she often cheered her own friends when they were depressed in spirit and sad of heart. She was prepared to die the death of a Christian It is with pleasure that we can make record that sister Edington gave her life to God in her youth, and united with the Salem class. Evangelical church. Christian parents directed her in the way of righteousness and pointed her to her Saviour and Lord. In Him she reposed in her sickness and in the hours of her weakness. In the triumph of a Christian faith she departed this life on July 12th. 1907, to be at rest.

at home with her lord. Ker husband, j mother, three brothers, one sister, j many relatives and friends are sad by reason of her early departure, yet they mourn not as such as have no hope. The funeral was conducted on Sunday morning from the Evangelical church in charge of Rev. A. B. Haist, who spoke from the words. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth ” The large attends ance and the many floral tributes betoken the esteem in which the departed was held. The body was laid to rest in the Decatur cemetery to await the resurrection morning. — o— The noon car on the interurban got stuck again for a short time at the Y near the station, but fortunately got away without losing any time.
