IN MEMORIAM. Sarah Ellen Glass, wife of David Gessinger, was born December 1, 1861, and died Wednesday morning at seven o’clock, December 2, 1914, at the ago years and seven hours. She was the daughter of Noah and Sarah Barrono Glass and was born in Union township, this county, ail her life, having been lived within the borders of the county. When but three years of age, her mother passed away. She was taken and reared by her eld est sister, Mrs. David Murphy, who proved a mother to her, and with whom she lived until her marriage t< David Gessinger, July 10, 1881. Mr. and Mrs. Gessinger resided on a farm in this county until twenty-six years ago last spring when they moved tc this city, where they have since lived To the union were born five children. The second born, died in infancy, bui the four, who with the husband survive, are: May, wife of Chauncey K Lhamon, Fort Wayne; Mary Lucile, wife of Tom Andrews, this city; Frank and Albert, at home. Mrs. Gessinger was the last of a family of five children. George, a brother, was killed in the civil war, and three sisters, Mis George Dutcher, Mrs. Susan Heim am’ Mrs. Mary Ann Murphy, who reared her, dying only last May. A half-sis-ter, Mrs. S. D. Crist, lives in Fort Wayne. Mrs. Gessinger also leaves three grandchildren .children of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Andrews. When eighteen years of age Mrs. Gessinger united with the Alpha Methodist church in Root township, and on coming to this city, transferred her membership to the Decatur Methodist church. She was a most faithful attendant at all its services, and at Sunday school, the Mite society and the various departments of the church, as long as her health permitted her to attend. Her life was an earnest one, making her a Woman, wife and mother of the highest type. Though she had beejj ailing long, and bedfase thirteen weeks, her patience during suffering was remarkable and above all was her thoughtful care for others, advising and directing with a foresight that showed site had the best comfort and care for her loved ones in view. Knowing that her helpful and kind care is reaching out in spirit over all, it is with Elizabeth Barret Browning in her beautiful poem, “Borderland,” that we feel we can pass over the “borderland” with her in spirit when we read: “There is a mystic borderland that lies Just "past the limit of our work-day

world, And it is peopled with the friends we I meet , And loved a year, a month, a week or day, i Aiyl parted from with aching hearts, yet knew That througu the distance we must lose the hold Os hand with hand and only clasp the thread of memory. “But still so close we feel this land, So sure we are that these same hearts' are true. That when in waking dreams there comes a call That sets the thread of memory aglow. We know that just by stretching out the hand In written word of love, or book or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more, Across the silence in t»e same old way.” COULD NOT SLEEP DO DO HOUSEWORK The Grippe Left Mrs. Findley in Such a Weak, Nervous Condition That Her Case Was Serious. Severy, Kans. —“The Grippe left me in a very weak, nervous, run-down con- ■ dition. I was too weak to do my housework and could not sleep. I tried different medicines without benefit and finally one day read about Vinol, and decided to try it. In a very short time I could see an improvement and after taking two bottles I have a good appetite and my health and strength was restored. “ I think Vinol is a grand medicine and every weak, nervous, run-down woman should take it”—Mrs. Geo. Findley, Severy, Kans. Vinol creates strength because it contains all the medicinal tissue-building elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh, healthy cods’ livers. To this is added peptonate of iron, a most essential element for the blood, all dissolved in a delicious tonic native wine. Vinol creates an appetite, aids digestion, makes pure healthy blood. In this natural manner it builds up the rundown, weak and nervous system, replaces weakness with strength. If Vinol fails to create strength after sickness we will return your money.
