Funeral of Mrs. Reed.

The funeral services of Mrs. George W. Reed took place at Iter late home on North State street Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral had been conservatively planned by Mrs. Reed tw» weeks before her departure. It was beautiful and impressive and there was not. one present who was not deeply affected by it.

By her request. Re\. Charlton, of ftRie First Presbyterian Church, led 35ie devotional, followed by the obitwary, written and read by her neighbor and club friend, Mrs. Hiram Eshelman. Mrs. J. F. Mitchell pave a few choice remarks, dealing with her religious liie. She spoke very touchingly of her faith in God and her confidence His care and protection over her day by day. after she became physically weak. Mrs. Mitchell concluded by reading Tennyson's beautiful poem, '"Crossing' the Bar.''

Mrs. B. Howard very effectively spoke of her association with Mrs. Reed in the club, the last meeting she attended, being' at her home and it was at this meeting. January 9, that Mrs. Reed made her resolutions for the year.

Mrs. W. A. llough followed with an excellent but brief talk touching upon Mrs. Reed's disposition in many particulars, but more especially of her appreciation of the little acts of kindness bestowed upon her. Mrs. Hough dwelt upon this thought of doing the little things for others, of how much we neglect and how important the doing of it is. Mrs. Reed had been an ardent admirer of Mrs. Matilda Marsh, the mother of Mrs. Hough, and during her later days lived with her in thought and conversation a great deal. .Air. John Corcoran spoke of their association together in the study of the Bible and classified her as one of the faithful.

Dr. Sparks, one of Greenfield's beautiful singers, rendered the solo, "Home of the Soul,'' accompanied by his daughter.

A quarette consisting of 7.7 iss .Helen Stringer, Mrs. \V. P. Johnson, Lowell Smart and Charles Arnold, sane two numbers.

The pallbearers were W. W. MrCole. Joseph Whitest1!. Harvey Barrett. Ward Fletcher, John Corcoran and Ora Myers.

The floral offerings were many and beautiful, coming from organizations and close friends. The body was deposited in Park cemetery.

OBITUARY.

Marietta Blanch Searight was one of a family of seven children, born to George Washington and Elizabeth McCullough Searight, in Prairie township. Holmes county, Ohio, May 30. 1861.

She was united in marriage to George Washington Reed, a commercial salesman of Greenfield, Indiana. on October 29. 1889. Following the marriage they located in Greenfield, where they have ever since resided, with the exception of a brief residence in Columbus. Ohio.

Mrs. Reed was born of highly respected Christian parents, which inbred spirit was maintained by her throughout her life.

She united with the Presbyterian church early in life, and always held the highest esteem for its teachings and principles, and as far as her health would permit, strove to be loyal in attendance and practice.

One year ago she was stricken with paralysis and for many days lay helpless, but by the aid of kind Providence she gradually grew stronger and finally regained sufficient strength to get about, and enjoy the pure air and sunshine again.

Mrs. Reed was not active in many lines on account of her failing health, but accepted membership in the Hesperian Literary Club four years ago, to which organization she has been a devoted member. She was to us a guide to generosity, love and kindness, for there was never a session held that the favorite chair was not set aside for her. The choice words spoken to her, and the

best of all we had bestowed upon her, and .now, as we think of her as having passed on, for a moment we drop a tear and say, "There is the vacanl chair then we hasten our thoughts to the higher ideal and say, "Rejoice in that she has gone on to pave the way for us, and we, too, some day will do likewise.^:?

Methinks she has been living in the great future for many days, for on Sunday afternoon, two weeks ago, she wrote a message to her family regarding her departure, in which she made all her plans in detail for her funeral. Nothing was left undone or unsaid to leave any one in doubt as to what to do, and as nearly as posible every wish has been complied with.

So this is her service, not ours, and though she is absent from us in person, her spirit can not be far off, is rejoicing with others just a gfeKSb Is

step beyond us. She was a devoted companion, mother and foster mother, having never been blessed with a family of her own, she took into her life those lift by another—Edward H., •jrare and F.ssie Reed: also a brother's child in her sixth year, whom she cared for until she was arried, and this little poem seems in express the full meaning: better than I car. tell it.

Who was it when I, a little girl, little boy. Nobody's darling, nobody's joy. Came as an angel from the heavenly land. And cared for me with a :nofh"r's hand?

My second mother.

She leaves of her immediate family a devoted husband, three brothers, two sisters, one son, Charles H. Reed: two daughters, Mrs. Grace Savage and Mrs. Essie Davis, and the foster daughter, Mrs. Fern Searight Qucrry.

All were present except Dr. Howard Searight. of Clayton, and Washington and George P. Searight, of Fredericksburg, Ohio.

It may be happily said that her last days were her very happi 'St and best days and when passing into the Great Beyond on Tuesday noon she was received sweetly and peaceably by the Gentle One and safely wafted on.

Sv. ect spirit, sleep in peace. MRS. ESHELMAN. 8d-l-w (Advertisement.)

HOME FROM VISIT TO SUNNY SOUTH

Ed Wolf, Wife and Son Pleased With What They Saw. Many Indiana People There.

Ed Wolf, wife and son arrived here .Monday morning from Loranger. Louisiana, where they went with a parly of about thirty-five Indiana people. This was a crowd composed of people ot most all occupations. bankers, merchants, doctors, farmers and mechanics, who were in most instances either accompanied by their wives or daughters.

This excursion was run by the Genesee Lumber Co.. which formerly owned about -!5,(H)0 acres of what they call the uplands of Louisiana, having at one time all been in timber, but which is now most all cut off.

This land is self draining and very valuable farm land as well as being adapted to the growing of citrus fruits, such as oranges and grape fruit, and especially well suited to truck farming. We found an abundance of the most delicious garden vegetables growing not only in samll gardens, but by the acre.

On the trip down the party first visited the city of New Orleans, spending a day and night there and seeing many things of interest in that wonderful city, which you have got to see lo appreciate.

While at Loranger they met and visited Jerome Black and Mrs. Russell, who went down there early in the winter.

Mr. Black says he is delighted with the climate as well as the country and the people and expects to stay there until April or later or until assured of warm weather here. Mr. Black has two nephews and a brother-in-law there who have purchased a large acreage and expect to engage in stock raising and agriculture.

This colony is made up entirely of Northern people—from Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, of which about one-half the entire number are from Indiana.

The greater portion of this entire tract has already been, sold and a great many of the purchasers have built their homes and are living there, all seemingly delighted with the prospects of the future. The climate is certainly ideal.

Card of Thanks.

We desire t,o express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the -friends and neighbors for their sympathy and kindness Rev. Charlton for his words of comfort and kindly offices the singers for their beautiful songs the ladies of the Hesperian Club and all others who were so kind and helpful during the

illness and
