The stirring days of the frontier wars, when the Red man disputed the Palefaces’ right to take his qpuntry from him, are recalled by the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Custer, at her New York home, at the age of 91. Mrs. Custer was the widow of General George Armstrong Custer, once known as the ‘‘Boy General,” who met his death in the massacre staged by the Sioux chief “Sitting Bull” at Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. Through almost his entire career Mrs. Custer had been the constant companion of her soldier husband. A native of Monroe, Mich., Mrs. Custer was the daughter of Judge Daniel Bacon. She met Custer when he was a captain in the Union Army during the Civil War. When he was made a brigadier general, she married him. That was in 1864. All through the Civil War she remained at his side, sharing his hardships and dangers. After the war General Caster campaigned for years against the Indians in Colorado, New Mexico Nebraska and Wyoming. Custer was then in command of the 7th United States Cavalry, a flying column which was forever ready to dash off to wherever an Indian outbreak was reported. During the years of his Indian fighting, General Custer was accompanied by his wife on many of his most perilous expeditions. After the death of her husband in the ambush at Little Big Horn, where 207 of his comrades also perished, Mrs. Custer went to live in New York. Although she was rarely seen in public, she led an active life. She wrote three books on her experiences as the wife of a soldier, which for thrilling adventure are comparable to anything in fiction.

feed. This type of feed mechanism lifts the chaff out with the seed — there is no clogging by accumulated chaff. An agitator above each seed opening prevents the seed from bunching or bridging over the openings. We have a McCormick-Deer-ing Beet Drill on our floor and will be glad to point out its seed-saving features —also its wide sowing range, multiple speed, adjustable width, and ability to handle corn, peas, beans, sorghum, and other seeds. A built-in fertilizer feed is available if desired.
