Mrs. Andrew Nuesbaum was taken to Lafayette Wednesday, where she entered St. Elizabeth hospital for an operation, which she underwent on Friday morning at eight o'clock. The operation was a pretty serious one and her many friends are hoping very earnestly that this will place her on the road to Wellville, as Mrs. Nuesbaum has suffered with poor health for some time past. Mr. Nuesibaum reports his wife as holding her own, though very weak yet. Tmogene Isabella Laridon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Landon, deceased, was born at New Albany, Ohio, on November 2, 1884, and died at her home here on Monday morning at eight o’clock, aged seventyfour years, five months and eighteen days. Deceased lived with her parents in Franklin county until the death of both. Then her brother, the late Dr. H. Landon, opened his home to her and with him she lived until death took her. Miss Landon had been in poor health for a good number of years, and was a very patient sufferer: ~ Although she was a woman of rare intellectual power and inegrity she was never in public work on account of her infirmities, which kept her confined to her room most of her time. She leaves to mourn their loss, one brother, George P. Landon, of Kokomo, Ind., who is a very prominent man there, a sister, Blanch P. Landon, of Kansas City, Mo.; three nephews, Chancy and Ora Landon, of Peoria, 111., and Hugh Landon, of Indianapolis, a niece, Miss Florence Landon, of this city, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. F. Landop, who has cared for her faithfully for many years. The services were held at the home on N. Ohio street, on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Tharpe, of the Christian church, at two thirty and on Wednesday morning the body was taken to Kokomo, where she was laid to rest by the side of her parents. Frances Zea was united in wedlock to James Parks on March 23, 1859, with whom she lived a most happy life until March 31, 1907 when the tie was broken by death. In 1875 they came to live on their farm about one mile east of town and continued to live there until 1893 when they purchased a house in town. To this union seven children were born, namely: George L. Parks, Sarah E. Balcom, Laura J. Kenyon, of Oxford and Peter H. Parks, of Detroit, Mich., James E. Parks, Cora Brand and Caroline Sutherland, of this city. She was a most devoted and loving mother, doing and giving to the most of her ability, one of the very foremost factors in her church in all of its affafrs, doing all she could to forward the progress of the community in which she resided, one of the best known and loved woman around here, she will be very sadly missed by everyone as whereever she was seen /there was always a ray of bright sunshine; always treating every one alike. Perhaps the one who will miss the'brightness of her presence most of all will be her grandson; Marion Sutherland, who is l in France, and on whom she lavished.the greater part of her love, it having been her most expressed wish that she should live to behold him once again before she passed the Great Divide, but this wish was denied her. The services took place in the Methodsit church, which she dearly loved and most faithfully attended, on Monday afternoon. Interment in the Remington cemetery.
