PERRY WASHBURN. With the death of P. D. M. Washburn at his home in Richland township, two miles north of Earlpark, another pioneer of Benton county has been gathered to his fathers, gone to his reward. After four score useful, helpful years here below, his soul took flight back to its Maker at four o’clock Tuesday morning. The immediate cause of his death was intestinal obstruction. Some ten days before his death remembering him saying he had not felt so well in years. Mrs Washburn was an integral part of our county’s growth. He had seen it emerge from its swamps and unbroken prairies into one of the finest and richest farming sections in the tvhoie wide world.

For the past thirty years he had lived on his beautiful farm, managing it and overseeing many of the farms of the great Kent estate. Five sons and two daughters grew to manhood and womanhood on the old homestead and no family ever Worked more in unison. As each son concluded to push out into the world for himself he carried with him the united confidence and encouragement of those who remained at home and the result is that no name stands higher in Benton and adjoining counties than that of Washburn, for thrift, good citizenship and business integrity. Surely such a heritage is enough for any American to leave behind, and Mr. Washburn must have felt great content as he looked back from his peaceful old age and reviewed the wonders and progress it had been his lot to witness and be a part of. His life .was a most potent example of quiet, persistent, indominitable pluck, on . which rests the whole fabric or American Independence. The services were conducted from the homestead Thursday afternoon. A great number of friends of the family gathered on the lawn and to the accompaniment of singing birds and rustling trees, which he loved so well, paid their last tribute to a long and useful life.

Rev. Mr. Brady of Rensselaer officiated, assisted by the Rev. Bennett of Kentland, Rev. Mr. McEwen of Earlpark. Mesdames Vanatta and Holtam, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Wilson, all of Earlpark, singing a number of beautiful hymns. His five sons, Clayton, Angus, Benton. James, Garland and son-in-law, S. N. Geary, acted as pall-bearers. Interment was ,in beautiful Fair View lawn Cemetery, Kentland. Never was a fairer resting place, a brighter day, or a more attentive and sympathetic gathering. The benediction of the Great Creator Himself seemed to rest over all. Perry' W. D. Washburn witp born in Athens county, Ohio, October 29, 1830. At the age of four years he came with his parents to Hamilton county, Indiana, where he lived until manhood. Mr. Washburn was married to Mary Elizabeth Clayton October 1, 1855 and the following spring moved to Marshall county, Indiana. After four years residence, here, and four years in Pulaski county, he moved to Kentland, Indiana, In the vicinity of which place he continued to live until his removal to his late residence In Benton county in 1880. His death occurred May 9, 1911, age 80 years, 6 months and 10 days. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Washburn, seven of whom along with their beloved mother survive to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father and husband.—Fowler Leader. 1 :

John Kaupke died at his home south of Francesviile Saturday morning about five o’clock. The cause of his death was lung trouble from which he had been sick for about two years. Recently his younger brother Samuel, died from symptoms of the same disease. It is thought that both took the disease while helping a neighbor during corn shocking time three years ago. Necessity compelled! them to sleep in a room already occupied by a person who was in the last stages of consumption and it was probably then and there that their systems became inoculated with a sufficient amount of the tubercular germs to cut down their, lives in the bloom of youthful and promising manhood. John Kaupke was born in Salem township thirty years ago. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kaupke who reside southeast of Francesviile. Three years ago he was married to Miss Emma Malchow but no children were bom to the union. The funeral was held from the German church in Beaver township, Monday morning. Rev. Paul O.

Some handsome men are too clere: to wear becoming clothes. Sometimes a little flirtation resuits in a big alimony. When you get out of temper don’t try to borrow of your next door neighbor. He who fights and runs away will get a chance to draw his pay. One way to reform yourself is not to do things that need reforming. There may be people who can't glv« advice when your guard*is down, but we have never been fortunate enough to meet them. The man who doesn't talk much generally gets paid for keeping still. Some young men seem to think that having a rich father is quite hard enough work for them. Even doll people are sometimes abl! to put tbeir friends all on edge. The reason why women talk so mucli may be because time Is short anti styles change rapidly.
