Death of FioJa DuComb Schutt. On Monday morning the people of I Walkerton were startled and saddened by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Viola DuComb Schutt, wife of Dr. M. A. Schutt, of Michigan City, which occurred at the home of her brother, Frank DuComb, at Hammond, Ind., where she had gone for a few weeks’ visit. She had not been in the best of health and her visit seemed to । improve her until about two weeks ■ ago, wh,en she began to decline, and in i spite of all that medical aid could do ! quietly and peacefully passed away on Sunday, Sept. G, at 3 o'clock p. m. The remains were brought to 'Walkerton, her old home, Tuesday, for burial in the cemetery at this place. The funeral services took place at 10 o'clock a. m. from the Presbyterian church, the services being conducted by the deceased’s pastor. Rev. Dr. Parry, of Michigan City. There was a vast concourse of people in attendance to pay their last tribute of love and respect to the memory of the deceased. The floral offerings were beautiful, among the number being a nice wreath sent from friends at Kendallville, Ind. The following friends from a distance were in attendance: W. E. Schutt, superientendent of the Cleveland postoffice, brother of the Dr.; Dr. Calvert and Mr. Throckmorton, of Michigan City; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar West, of Aurora, 111., the latter! a sister of Dr. Schutt; Mrs. Todd, of J Lauton, Mich., aunt of the deceased;, Helen Schutt, of Avilla, Ind., sister of Dr. Schutt; John Burke and wife, of Hammond; John Jordon, of Hammond; Mrs. A. (). VanLiew, of Lakeville, ; aunt of the deceased; P. P. DuComb, of Lakeville, uncle of the deceased. Viola A. DuComb was born at Lake-1 ville, Ind., April 12, 1862. and at the j time of her death was aged 29 years, 4 months and 24 days. Feb. 12, 1885, she was married to Dr. M. A. Schutt, ! by whom she is survived, together with three little children all girls - ’ aged, respectively, about six, three and a half and two years. This whole community joins in sym- ' pathy for the little ones and the be- ! reaved husband, whose grief is inconsolable. The deceased had been a church member since quite young, during the : latter few years being a member of the Presbyterian -denomination. About' four months previous to her birth her j father was killed at the inet:u . 1 F- - 1 ‘ was buried. Her widowed mother m'n^?d'tb Walkerton when deceased was but five years old. Viola was talented, witty, and in con- • versation brilliant and original: a mu- 1 sician with a voice of wonderful sweet-! ness, and manners of peculiar fascination; she was unusually fitted to adorn society, yet with a true womanly heart ; full of love for her family, she devoted herself to them almost entirely and was never happier than in the seclusion of her home crooning lullabys to ) her little ones. Her heart was pure and good; no ill would she speak of! anyone and many were her deeds of ! kindness. In her character were sum- ■ med up all the virtues of a true Christian woman. A soldier speaks thus concerning the feelings of soldiers and of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic: “There is no hatred between the soldiers North ami South. Brave men 1 always respect, but never hate each other. 1 saw thirty thousand of the' Rebs surrender at Vicksburg, Miss., j with empty stomachs. You ought to have seen how gladly the boys in blue gave all they had in their haversacks. I There is never one word said about politics in the Grand Army. They I simply attend to their own business, ! and they are willing for other people to do the same.” XV »■ always did admire, tlie snake editor of tin- Indianapolis Sun, prin- | eipally on account of his imaginative j . genius. \\ e believe the following clipped from the Sun of last Monday, I however, eclipses anything that ever i originated in the gray matter of that .

^=^77— — “Out of Sight out of Mind.’’ .^6 AI alkerton Independent says thepeople up there didn’t appreciate ite 0000 twenty-four column write-up edition. That is our experience in the Wite-up business—not here but elsewhere. The profit and appreciation aie not commensurate with the work and worry tlrat it entails upon the pubhWr. The publisher’s best hold is sriady, regular, week in and week out ^ a, it'hfully and honestly ex seated, : ri fly up to the demands of the com’'Unity but not too far in advance. *' >r this he will receive a fairappreciaV ii from the majority, curses from a Hk, and the benediction of his own c <!|science. The Independent should ' n ^t prod the “mossbacks” too vigor(’sisly. I'he best thing to do with Diem is to let the moss grow until it literally entombs them alive and buries ttfem out of sight. And then “out of sight out of mind” should be the editor’s motto.—Argos Reflector. No community ever yet paid a pub- ; l^dier enough.tp compensate him for woiv^ ’'"nnossarily atW -5, ling such a job. The Independjfcrhas no desire to prod the kickers, but was compelled byway of explanation to mention certain things. No, ) wg feel more like forgiving them than prodding them, for their objections were raised against the editor and publisher of the Extra Edition through a lack of knowledge of the real worth of ; such an effort and of the enormity of the task. Printers, and only they, k-now, in the language of the Reflector, the worry and work entailed upon the j publisher in such an undertaking. ’ Men wh ' .mow nothing about printing I are not expected to be juditos of such work, neither can they be made to understand scarcely anything about it by simply telling them, and they arc therefore not so much to blame for fault finding as a superficial investigation of the matter might lead one to think.
