A long and useful life was brought to a close at 11:45 o’clock Sunday morning in the death of Mrs. Christens Sellemeyer, one of the pioneer women of the county, whoyhas contributed much to its development during the past three-quarters of a century. The death of this good woriian who, had she lived until the fourteenth of next month, would have been nine-ty-two years of age, resulted from injuries received in a fall just three weeks ago tonight, IP which it was thought her hip Was dislocated and internal injuries received. The past three weeks were full of suffering, as she was entirely helpless, and could be moved only With excruciating pain. Until Friday noon she was wholly conscious. Friday noon she passed into a stupor which continued to death add she was unable to recognize her loved, ones who ministered to her and were with her when she passed into the new life. Until the fall she was nearly perfectly well and her life womd no doubt have been many years longer had not this affliction come upon her. Mrs. Sellemeyer was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Getting. She was born in Stoltzeneu, Hanover, Germany, September 14, 1818. When twenty-six years of age she came to America, landing in New York, and coming directly to Fort Wayne, where she lived two years, or until her marriage to Ernst Sellemeyer. The marriage was solemnized at the Freidheim church in 1846 by the Rev. Jaebker, who was the grandfather of Fred Jae’bker of this city. The newly mar tied couple took up their abode on the Sellemeyer homestead near Magley after their marriage, where they spent the remainder of their lives. The husband died in 1881, and when the son, married, and later became owner of the home farm, the jnother still continued to make that ptace her home, dying on the farm, where sixty-four years before she had come a bride. She is survived oy the following children: Louise, wife of Fred Reppert, sr., of Vera Cruz; William, living on the home farm; Fred of this city; Harmon, living on a farm south of this city, and A. H. of this city. ’ Mrs. Sellemeyer was reared in the Luuieran faith, but upon her marriage united with the Reformed church of which she was a faithful member, ner life being one consistent with that of her Master. Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer were active members in the organization o. the Magley Reformed congregation. At the time of their settling there, there was no church, and services were held at the homes of the faithful. Mr. and Mrs. Sellemeyer assisted in the organization of the chur h which has grown to be one of the strongest of its denomination in this vicinity. Mrs. Sellemeyer was the last of a family of ten children. Henry Getting, sr., father of Henry Getting of Root township; Mrs. Minnie Meyer of yiear Fl,atrock, and Mrs. Hartman, formerly of this county, were her brother ard sisters. The funeral was held Tuesday morning with services at 10 o’clock at the home, and at 10:30 from the Magley Reformed church, the Rev. Snyder officiating. Burial will take place in the churchyard cemetery. — GAVE CONCERT AT BERNE. Miss Beraht Carver, vocalist, and Miss Caryl Baughman, pianist, of South Salem, gave a concert in the Evangelical church at Berne for the benefit of Miss Carver. Miss Carver, who is blind, has been attending school at Indianapolis, and is home for her vacation. She is a singer not only of much natural ability, but also of excellent training. They are contemplating giving concerts in this city and other 'places soon. o A Bluffton republican leader in the city last night on business is authority for the statement that E. B. Edmunds, proprietor of a jewelry store in that city, is about to announce him’self as a candidate for the republican nomination for congress from the Eighth district. Mr. Edmunds is popular all over the district and has the support of George W. Cromer of Muncie, who controlled the majority of the ■votes at the republican convention at Anderson two years ago ,and is regarded as the man who will select the candidate this year. J. A. M. Adair of Portland, who turned a republican majority of B,oov in tris own favor four years ago, beating Cromer by 4,000 votes, won again two years ago over Cromer’s man, Hawkins, of Portland,. and was recently renominated by the democrats.—Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. The political gossip of the district is that Cromer Intends to force the nomination of Judge Leffler ,of Muncie. For several years these two men have been politically fighting each other and there is no love being wasted in the game now beipg played. Cromer is seeking political preferment also in the nomination for superior judge for the district of Delaware and

Grant, and It is to make his own noml- i nation more certain that the Leffler ■ game is being so adroitly played. Up i to this timf Judge Leffler has refused to countenance the congressional nori i lhation but It all makes the outcome of 1 the convention at Bluffton of the 30th i of August all the more uncertain. 1 —o . Andrew Quitting, well known here, 1 ■having frequently visited his brother, 1 John, when the latter lived here, died 1 at his home at Fort Wayne early Sun- 1 day morning. The Journal-Gazette i said of his death: ‘‘The furieral services of Andrew F. ; Glutting, who died at his home at 618 ' Washington boulevard west, early i Sunday morning, will be held from the 1 Cathedral at 9 o’clock Tuesday mom- 1 ing, and Interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery. < “Mr. Glutting was one of Fort ! Wayne’s best known and highly re- < spected citizens. He was a son of Mr. 1 and Mrs. Jacob Glutting and was born ] here in 1853. In,,the early eighties he 1 was elected county auditor and served I one term, after which he became a member of the real estate firm of Glut- i ling, Bauer & Hartnett, retiring after i several yeast? successful operation. i “Surviving Mr. Glutting are his wife i and four children, the latter being i Harry of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Andrew, Carl and Paul of this city. There are also left three sisters and i one brother —Mrs. Louis Joquel, Mrs. ■ William Christian and Miss Lizzie : Glutting of this city, and John Glutting of Attica.” Q.
