It will have bath, heating plant and all modem improvements and Mrs. Reed will occupy it as a residence upon its completion, which will be about Feb. Ist. She will then rent 'the property she now occupies to Ed Herath. Mrs. Frank Swartzell was again taken to the asylum at Longcliff yesterday. She has four little children, the oldest 8 years old, who need the attention of some one who will give them good care, and Mr. Swartzell is in need of a housekeeper, a middleaged or elderly woman. Many Rensselaer people, especially those who lived here twenty-five years or more ago, will recall Miss Viola Kirk, whose brother, Ed Kirk, now lives in this county, and will regret to learn that she recently lost her husband in Washington, D. C. Her husband was employed for a number of years as a pressman in the government printing office. His name was Schofield. The circumstances attending his death have not been learned here. It is understood that Mrs. Schofield has been in very poor health for a long time.
