On March 6, 1873, she was married to George W. Reed, at Piper City, Hi., and there they spent /the first few years of their married life. They then came to Jasper county, locating 8 miles north of Rensselaer, where they resided on a farm until the time of his death, March 15, 1890, and she was again married on March 7, 1895, to John L. Nichols, who survives her. They continued to reside in the country until about four years ago, when they moved to Rensselaer. When a giH she united with the Methodist church but later became a member of the Barkley Christian church. She is survived by her mother, husband and eight children, viz. Lizzie, Charley, Ella, Rebecca, Bertha, Lura, Harry and Viola. Hattie, the youngest child, died March 22, 1900. Three step children by her second marriage, also survive, and twenty grandchildren.

This time they got together and the deal was closed. Mr. Wasson buys the buses, teams, lot and barn and will take charge next Monday. Mr. Kresler is not positive what he will do, but has several good offers One, and the one he will probably take, is that of traveling salesman for Marshall Field & Co. fle has received a good offer from them andjf he accepts, he will undoubtedly make a splendid salesman. “Billy” Fry will probably continue to work for Mr. Wasson.

Body of W. W. Burns Did Not Arrive and Funeral Delayed.

The body of W. W. Burns was expected to arrive here on the 1:59 train this afternoon and a large number of the old friends of the family had congregated at the Christian church where the funeral was to have been held. The body, however, did not get through. Later a telegram was received from members of the family in Chicago, asking if the body had reached here. As it had not, it is apparent that some misconnection has caused a delay and it is not probable that the body will reach here before the late train or tomorrow morning.

Unknown Man is Helping B. Forsythe Reduce his Stock.

At least one man has adopted a novel scheme of helpink B. Forsythe reduce his stock of goods, for he broke a window out of the back part of the store Thursday night and helped himself to a pair of No. 7% shoes and an overcoat and possibly to other things. It is probable that it was a tramp. He evidently had the needs of the future in mind when he took the overcoat, although a poor appreciation of the needs of the present Mr. Forsythe offers an opportunity for some local Sherlock Holmes to get to his. work, for he will give, a reward of |SO for the arrest and conviction of the thief. Mrs. W. N. Jordan and daughter Miss Nettle went to Chicago today on business. . ,
