LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Nate Reed is Still Alive and Happy. O. K. Ritchey received a letter, a few days ago from former Sheriff Nate J. Reed, who for some years now has been living on a small farm near Millerton, Mich., which he purchased. The Democrat is permitted to publish the letter, which will be of interest to Nato’s old Jasper county friends: June 10, 1920. My Dear Old Friend and Neighbor: I received your letter and after I read it I began thinking whether or not I really did forget to answer your last letter. I expect to be in Rensselaer some time this fall. I am as young as ever In some re spects, elegant health, no worry, not a care on my mind, plenty to live on and company ah the time; fish and sheer around all things tha: look like labor or that would start perspiration. I went out to Luddington yesterday. The wheat, oats and rye look superb and all kinds of garden stuff is looking prosperous. Tell the old boys (old soldiers) I would be delighted to see them and fight those old battles over. We could clean up on Lee in a hurry now. Ask them if they got |3O per and meals served hot? Gosh! Os, we had some darn poor grub in that war but it is all over and forgotten like a family quarrel. Well, I am for Wood for chief, cousin to Pete. Say, O. K., the mosquitoes are real bad up here. They reminu one of the airplanes, and when they make a nosespln and stick that rat-tall file in your anatomy, ami they are not particular what part of the mortal body they “tackle for holes," like we used to see along the old slough, crawfish holes. I hate their buzzing. Just aa soon 1c shot with a German cannon between the kidneys and go out In good shape. NATE J. REED.

Obituary

John Cooper was born on a farm In Union township, Jasper county, Ind., May 27, 1885, and departed this life at his home near Virgie, Ind., June 15, 1920, at the age of 35 years and 19 dAys. He was the son of William and Ellen Cooper, two old and highly respected pioneer residents of Jasper county. John grew to manhood in his native state, but like many other young people, emigrated to the state of Minnesota to try to better his financial condition. While there he met and married Miss Elsie Smith of Virginia, Minn., June 16, 1912, and to this union were born four children —Alice, age 7; Jacob, age 5; Lucile, age 2, and Mabel, age 6 months, all of whom are living. His father, one sister and two brothers have preceded him to the grave. He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, four children, the mother, Mrs. Ellen Cooper, of Union township;' three sisters, Mrs. Anna Fisher of Iron, Minn.; Mrs. Mattie Spitzer and Mrs. Lillie Haas, both of Union township; four brothers, Harvey of Wheatfield and Jasper, Levi and Peter of Gary; three halfbrothers, Scott of Union township, Marion of Buchanan, Mich., and Frank of Indianapolis.

It is with genuine sorrow that the relatives, friends and neighbors bld farewell to a.ll that Is earthly of our dear friend, because he was a loving husband, an Indulgent father and an obliging neighbor. As we gather around his casket on this sad occasion this balm falls upon our hearts: "That It is not all of life to live, nor all of death too die, because the dark and mysterious caverns of the tomb have been explored and as a trophy of that exploration has been brought back to us, an assurance of a life that lies beyond the grave." Funeral services were conducted at Virgie church by Rev. W. T. Barbre and interment made In the Prater cemetery. **
