FOUR REPOSE IN DEATH

JAMES HEMPHILL, MRS. FLOYD TOW, FRED HARTMAN AND A. D. PATTE'E CALLED. Death has visited four homes in this vicinity within the past twentyfour hours, those being called by the Great Master being James Hemphill, of Broken Arrow, Okla.; Mrs. Floyd Tow, of Newjand; Fred Hartman, of Rensselaer, and A. D. Pattee, of McCoysburg, Ind. James Hemphill, who was brought here recently and placed in the county hospital, passed away this Monday morning at 11:15 at the age of 67 years. Mr. Hemphill’s illness, which resulted in his death, took a serious turn last July and since that time his decline has been rapid. Mr. Hemphill was taken from his home at Broken Arrow, Okla., to Guthrie, Okla., and placed in a hospital, where he underwent two operations for cancer, but the operations failed to stop the dread disease with which he was afflicted and about a month ago he was taken to Indianapolis to undergo treatment. His condition became worse, despite the heroic efforts which were made to save his life and on last Wednesday, when it was seen that his condition was hopeless he was brought to his old boyhood home here. Mr. Hemphill was well known by the older citizens of this city. He came to this city in 1861 and remained here for a number of years. For some time he was in the shoe business here in partnership with his brother-in-law, E. P. Honan. Later on he was in the employ of the Rock Island and Monon railroads. He left Rensselaer about the year 1894. James Hemphill was one of the most loved and respected men that ever resided in this community and during his long period of absence from Rensselaer he was never forgotten by his many old friends, and the news of his death was a shock to the community. The deceased leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, one son,. James, two duaghters, Bessie and Edna, one brother, John B. Hemphill, of North Platte, Neb., who is expected to arrive tomorrow evening, and one sister, Mrs. E. P. Honan, of this city. The funeral arrangements as yet have not been completed, but it will probably be held some-time Wednesday.

Mrs. Floyd Tow, of Newland, Ind., passed away at the Jasper county hospital at about 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon, after an illness of only a few days. Mrs. Tow’was taken to the hospital about a week ago and at all times her condition was very serious. A . Mrs. Tow was the daughter of Edward Oliver and was a beautiful and accomplished young lady and her death caused much grief in the community. , , ~ m , The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Presbyterian church in this city and will be conducted by Rev. J. C. Parrett, former pastor of the church here. Burial will be made in Weston cemetery.

Fred Hartman, for a great number of years a citizen of this city, was called by his’Maker at 2:30 this Monday morning. Mr. Hartman had been in poor health for the past several years and during most of the time was unable to leave his bed. _ The deceased leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, and son, Dick, and daughter, Mrs. John Richards, besides many other relatives and friends. . The funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock and burial will be made in Weston cemetery. _ A. D. Pattee, an aged and respected citizen of Hanging Grove township, passed away at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Cochran.
