Speaks by the Card Michigan City Dispatch: LaPorte has a philosopher in the person of “Hookey Bob,” a bartender, who once lived in Michigan City. He has heard a great, deni of rot about men getting into trouble nod then claimed they were so drunk they hud no knowledge of what happened . He says a man is sober enough to know what he is doing and be responsible for it as long as he can stand up or walk . In proof of this assertion he cites the important fact that they are always able to count their change correctly after they pay for a drink, aud he says “he has never yet seen one of them go into a dry goods store or millinery shop to get a drink. They never make such a mistake as that, but. nl ways go straight to a saloon.” Death of Louisa Sheneman. In memory of Louisa Sheneman with a deep sense of a great loss and with feelings of sympathy we wish to express a few thoughts in reference to the death and departure of the dear mother, wife and friend • Mrs. Sheneman was the sixth member of the family of Teter and Rose Anna Lower of Coshocton county, Ohio, where she wasboru Dec. 10,1852. The remaining members are the Rev. Wm. and Mra. o. xz • .. county and Mrs. Geo. Guse and Loyd Lower of Coshocton county, Ohio. On the 24Hi of April, 1870, she wns married to Daniel Sheneman, then living in Holmes county, Ohio. To them were born nine children, four girls and five boys. In the spring of 1881 they moved to this state and located about three and a half miles south of North Liberty where she lived until her death, June 6th, 1895, being 42 years, 5 mouths, 26 days old. At the tender age of 12 sho became an active member of the United Brethren in Christ. She united with the W. M. church about eight years ago, in which she lived an active worker until her death.
