Obituary. Dr. Timothy Thompson Linn was born in Washington county, Kentucky, October 31, 1831; died in liourbon, Ind. March 24, 18; aged 04 years, 5 months and 3 days. Solomon Linn, father of Dr. T. T. was born April 4, 1805 in the state of Pennsylvania. When Solomon Linn was 10 years old he came with the family to the state ot Kentucky. His mother died before they reached their place of destination and was buried in the bank of the Ohio river. With live small children the father pressed

his way to Nicholas county, Kentucky, where he settled and raised his family. Solomon Linn was married to Tolly F. Parks in Kush county, Indiana, July 1. 1830, and moved to Nicholas county, Kentucky, where they remained until the fall of 1S3, when they came to Marshall county, Indiana, and settled just north of k where the town of iiourbon now stands. Sixty years have passed since they settled in the wilderness of Marshall county and commenced the realities of life in that little log cabin, which was afterward changed for a beautiful home. We have little idea of the hardships that were endured and the struggle and toil that was necessary before the wildejness gave place to the cultivated field and a prosperous home. T. T. Linn, being the oldest child in

the family, assisted his father in the clearing and cultivation of the farm. When a young man he was industrious and possessed a good mind. Uy atteuding district schools and pursuing his studies during leisure hours, he succeeded in acquiring an excellent common school education. He attended medical school at Ann Arbor, Mich., and afterward graduated in medicine at Kush medical college, Chicago, 111. He was married to Eliza II. Stallard .1 une 23, 1S58. They were married in the same house and in the same room where thirty-eight years later the doctor passed quietly away. For nearly forty years he has practiced medicine in Marshall county, Indiana, with the exception of two years (1802-'3) when he lived at Roanoke, Ind., and practiced medicine there As a physician aud surgeon he was one of the best in the county. He was a member of the United Urethren church for many years, but only a few years ago ho changed his membership to the Presbyterian church. He was devoted to his (Jod, generous with his church.

l.eny Year Hall at ltourhon. IJornBoN, Ind., March 27. ISpecialJ About twenty of lourbon"s young ladies gave a leap year dancing party last evening to as many of the sterner sex, in the opera house. The ladies issued their individual invitations Monday last and in lullfilment of them called at the homes of their escorts, conducting them in the most approved style to the scene of the occasion. The program of the evening was rendered, ladies tilling their own and partners program, one waltz with three changes being gentlemen's choice; and carrying the idea further, the lady lloor manager called the first quadrille and quite successfully too, judging from the encore which followed. After the seventh dance the curtain of the stage was lifted, displaying tables with covers for forty, and a dainty menu served only as the ladies who prepared it know how to serve. hen all were seated it was a picture indeed. The ladies in their bright evening dresses, the gentlemen with their Mowers and the banquet lamps with their gaily colored shades casting a radiance over it all. .Joy was unconlined and many of the sterner sex expressed a regret that eight years must elapse before another leap year rolls around. Those in attendance from cut of

town were Miss Elsie liarkdoll, of Rochester, guest of J. E. Chamberlain, and Mr. (Sns Jones, of Chicago, guest of Eleva Tyrrell.

citizen he was loyal and benevolent; as a neighbor, generous and philanthropic; as a husband, kind and indulgent; as a Christian, true to his convictions of duty, loyal to his church and faithful in the discharge of his obligations, lie was a consistent advocate of temperance reform. Of his many good qualities, faithfulness, and great esteem in which he was held by all who have known him, we can all bear willing testimony. How sad that one so kind to his family, so distinguished and useful as a physician, should be called away in the prime of life! A man possessed with such a generous heart, ovreflowing with love for his family, the memory of virtues and gentleness will linger in the hearts of his family and those whom his good works have blessed; and while the lights have gone out from a happy home and sorrowing hearts surround the vacant place, his inlluence will descend like a holy blessing, resting upon the many friends and relatives who mourn their friend and brother. Farewell, noble man, whose heart has been so true and whose lips have uttered so few unkind words, but have spoken so many words of cheer and comfort wherever needed, thereby turning many a discouraged person, not only to the church, but also in the walks of every day life. There have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Dr. T. T. Linn eight children, Live having preceeded their father through the golden gate, and three survive him. Delaska Linn died at about three weeks of atfe; Ada Linn at about three years; Corena Linn at about four years; Sahna Linn having nearly reached the age of twenty years when she was called to her home above; Mrs.Eva McCoy dying in June of l&'JÖ. The remaining children are Mr. Owen Linn and Mrs. Lizzie I'eigh, both of this place, and Mrs. Fatina Carter, of Kokorno, Ind.
