BROOK. [From The Reporter.) Wm; Ulyat sold his corn sheller to Thomas Davis of Kniman. Frank Snow of Foresman, moved with his family to the George Antcliff farm near Rensselaer the first of the week. Postmaster Snyder says thfit February deposits in the postal savings bank were the heaviest since the department was opened. Word was received this week that Henry Putt, formerly of this place but now of Monon, was very low and the chances of his recovery doubtful. The Misses Grace and Flora Lyons were called home from Indianapolis Sunday evening by the death of their father. They remained home until the last of the week. Florence Cloutier, who on account of illness was obliged to give up the Schuette school a short time ago, was operated on at the Henrotrn hospital in Chicago on Wednesday for appendicitis.

Clifford Barker, who moved this week on the J. D. Rich farm near Monon, took ten or twelve cows with him and will engage in dairying on somewhat of an extensive scale this summer. We received word from J. C. Shindler to hold his paper until his arrival as himself and wife would be home about the Bth. They have been spending the winter in Rosalia, Wash., near which place Mr. Shindlar has a.farm. On Monday the machine driven by A." D. Babcock oT Goodland, frightened the team of Harry Wortley while near Mt. Ayr and the horses ran away. The tongue broke and Mrs. Wortley was thrown out and slightly injured, Mr. Wortley escaped unhurt, as also did Mrs. Rice and her little son. Perry Pence left with his car from Ade on last Friday for his new home in Harlan, lowa. Mrs. Pence and,children left earlier in the week. They are among the many old resident families who have left Brook within the past year and we are sorry to see them go but wish them success in their new home.

The contract for the building of the Brunton road was let on last Monday to the. Lehigh Stone Company. The price was $7,828. While this was the lowest bid considerable dissatisfaction developed over the rock to be used which comes from the Kankakee quaries. Some of those present statqd that rock used in this county from the Kankakee quarries was unsatisfactory and not durable. This matter should have been looked into before the contract was let.

On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock occurred the death of Aarop Lyons at the family residence rn Brook. He had been gradually falling during the winter and his death was not unexpected. His severe illness of a year ago had so impaired his general health that he never fully recovered his strength and his death came as a slow ebb of vitality due to infirmity of years, and his last days were passed without a struggle to mar the ending of a peaceful life. A more than passing interest attaches to' the life of Mr. Lyons as he was the first white child born in w hat is now the confines of Newton county and had passed his 83 years cf active life in this Community. Hrs parents, John and Anna (Jones) Lyons came to Newton county In 1831 and built their cabin where the orchard now stands cn the Jerome Franklin farm. On February sth of 1832. Mr. Lyons w r as born. Indians were numerous then and shortly after his birth the father was obliged to take his wife and baby and flee to the southward settlements at Sugar Grove on Pine Creek until the uprising was supressed. Amid such surroundings in a wild new country Mr. Lyons grew up and developed a strong character of morality, honesty and Christianity that goverened all his future life, and had its effect on the upbuilding of like characteristics in this community. In 1855 he started the first store ever conducted in Brook, it w’as located on the lot where the airdome now stands He conducted this until 1864 and then moved on the farm now’ occupied by Samuel Conn. From there he moved to the home place which was the O’Rielly farm. The house which wa s south of the old O’Rielly homestead and east of the railroad consisted of a log cabin of three rooms and in this was held the first religious services in the days when Mr Lyons was a boy and here he re-

ceiyed his first schooling. Afterward he moved to his present farm north of town, and in company with others started the Grange store in 1876 in Brook. Bad crops with inability to make collections involved this concern and Mr. Lyons and Andrew Hess shouldered the re-1 sponsibilities and paid off the debts. The character of both of these men stands out clearly in this transaction when failures were of common occurrence and easy settlements the rule. His span of life was long. He began life when things were new and crude—he was borne to his last resting place in a funeral ear and placed in a modern sepulcher. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife and six children. Of these L. C. Arthur, Miss Ella and Mrs. Anna Reed live in Brook, and the Misses Grace and Flora in Indianapolis.
