Sunday, Xr«: they Attended the funeral aenicte for H. D. Cook, the grocer, held fromthe Baptist chtfl-ch at 10:ft, and with burial at Elmgrova cemetery and of Lloyd Brown, from the home at i o’clock, with burial at the Methodist cemetery. The greater number from here left over the Interurban, and at Fort Wayne ' were jolnedby about a hundred peopie who also attended. The day was indeed a sad one for Bluffton, as had been the three days previous, one fun- ; era! procession following the other In such quick succession that one was in progress almost all the tiine. The last funeral was held this morning, being that of Clyde Brown of Warren. I The list of dead has been verified and corrected\ now and shows that, including Mr. Brown, who died early f Saturday morning, the list is thirtynine. It has developed that the man Holland, Supposed to be from Danville. 111., was the same who was afterward given as Gilbert, from Toledo. ( Many of the victims carried life insurance and this is now being adjust ed. Today, too, began the straightening up of the business affairs of the < V men killed in the wreck, many of whom were leaders of affairs. It is stated that Seymour Robinson, one of the victims, and who was the nominee for county auditor on the democratic ticket, was in only ordinary cirs cumstances, financially, his home be- ' ing about all that he left. He was just on the verge of success after a long struggle, t and that his family may enjoy some of the results of his efforts it has been suggested that the central committee nominate in his place an influential democrat, who does not need the financial returns, who, it elected, as he no doubt would be, would employ a deputy, and after paying him and the real expenses, turn ■ the rest of the money over to Mrs. Robinson and her baby son. The name of Will Kunkle has been suggested as £ the probable selection. Lee Hindman, a termer motorman on the traction line here, and who, with Mrs. Hindnum, formerly Miss Nettie Smith, recently returned here from Jamestown, N. D., met with' a peculiar accident Saturday evening ta Fort Wayne.' He and his wife were returning here, after a visit with friends at St. Joe and had boarded a street cart at Fort Wayne. When the conductor came along Lee handed him a transfer, which the conductor said was not good. Lee thought he was ■J joking and said something in reply, when the conductor grabbed him by the arm and gave him a violent jerk, B dislocating his left arm at the shoulder. He alighted from the car and happened to meet the claim adjuster who immediately looked the matter up ' and found the conductor had exceeded bis authority, as the transfer was good, and he promptly made a settlement ■ with Mr. Hindman, paying the doctor . bill and arranging the other matters as necessary. F ' 0 , — n ■ ■ POLICE RAIDED POKER GAME. Deputy Sheriff Ed Green and Night Policeman Melchi made a raid on a poker game Saturday night at the home of Charles Straub on Third street and gathered in five men who were indulging in a rather noisy (game.

Blossom, was 1 born in Washington township, Ad- : ams county, Ind., September ’ and moved into her new mansion Sep- ■ temper 20, 1910, aged 43 years and 1 7 days. During the winter of 1886 1 she united with the Concord Luther- ' an church of which she remained a 1 consistent member until about the ' year 1900, when the Pleasant Valley 1 Friends’ church in Monroe township, ■ in which she was an active, worker ’ until the year 1906, when she removed to Decatur. During the summer of 1907 she united with the First Presbyterian church of Decatur and was ’ an earnest and sincere worker in its L several departments. January 20, 1887, she was united in marriage to ’ Thomas S. Perkins, which union was peculiarly harmonious and happy, be- ( ing .blessed with three children: . Hugh, aged 19; Estelia, aged 17, and Olive, aged 13, who, with the beloved \ husband, are left to mourn the early t . departure qf a loving and devoted wife and mother. Thus iri the provi- ] depce of God closes the life of this ! noble, useful and unselfish Christian .. i woman, beloved by al) whp knew her, , filling in her sweet and.jgentle way every useful place in the borne, com- , munity. and church, where she foqnd many opportunities for noble Chris- ] tian service. How we long to under- ] stand the mystery |of it. all, knowing how sorely, we shall miss' her. And yet,, so far as she herself was Concerned, death had no terrors fOr her, for she knew whom she had believed, ! and was persuaded that he was able t tp keep that which she had commit- , ted unto him against that day. She , was constantly singing the songs of Zion, and making melody in her [ breast unto God, saying, "I will both ! lay me down in peace and sleep, for [ thou, Lord, only makest me to dwell 1 in safety.” What a priceless legacy . is this which she has left, not only unto the Immediate circle of the famI ily, but unto the larger circle in the , “Household of Faith?’ We somehow . instinctively turn to those beautiful ' words bf Tennyson and make them the sunset <lory and triumph of her noble earthly.., pilgrimage: I Sunset and evening star, And one dear call for me!

But after a brave effort she, rallied and proved herself a fine hostess. She received many beautiful presents. Like Mrs. Fisher, Mr. Fisher had prepared ice cream and cake.
