LINCOLN CORY PISSES AWAY Well Known Auctioneer Dead From Effects of Broken Leg Sustained June 20. Lincoln Cory, son of Robert V. and Elizabeth Cory, was born June *7, 1860 in Elkhart count^lndiana, and' died July 12,1912, aged 52 years, 1 month and 5 days. He was married to Celia Cory in 1881, and after thirteen years of wedded life she was suddenly snatched from time into eternity leaving him with a family of six small children. Later he married Viola Shelmadine, who has proven a loyal wife and /a devoted mother to the motherless children. To this union was also bora six children. He was a man of unusual temperament, ever looking on the bright and joyous side of life, even among adverse circumstances. His pathway was beset with many sorrows. Early in his boyhood days he saw the necessity of serving his Master, and at the age of eighteen he became a member of the Church of the Brethren, and for several years was one of its most loyal, consecrated and devoted workers. For a few years, however, he was not affiliated with the church, but in the year 1910 he was again received in full fellowship into the church of his choice. On June 20, 1912 he met with an accident in which his right limb was broken and he took his bed never to rise again. His death, however,, was due to heart trouble coming on suddenly and unexpectedly. On Thursday, June 11 he collapsed, but after a short time he rallied and was conscious for several hours, during which time he told those about him that the end was near, but that he was ready to meet it. During his talk he said, “I have made many mistakes but I have tried to correct them. It pays to live ■ ~

for Christ.” He seemed perfectly at peace with man and God and was apparently without a fear. He was a man who had unbounded faith in God and he succeeded in instilling that same faith in the hearts of his children. He often said “I have made many mistakes, but I am trying to point out the right way to my children and lead them all to Christ.” He lived to see them all following Christ but the two youngest who are yet too voung to come. Another one of his favorite phrases was, “I have no wealth or worldly possessions to leave my children, but I consider that one of the best legacies that a man can leave the world is a well educated family.” To this end he ever worked, denying himself many things that he might educate his family. He leaves to mourn their loss a broken-hearted wife, twelve sorrowing children, one grandchild, one brother, one sister and a host of warm-hearted friends. The family are consoled, however, with the thought that Papa is at rest with God and that by following his example and profiting by his mistakes we can all meet him in that sweet day when the clouds have all rolled away and revealed Christ even as He is. The funeral services were held at the U. B. church and were conduc ted by Rev. Ayers. It is estimated that over 1,000 people were there to pay thier last respects to the deceased. Only one fifth of the number were able to get in the church. We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for the kind, assistance during the illness and death of our husband and father.

EVANGELIST PARRETT 111 GREAT LECTURE Is Ably Assisted by the Sweet " Singing of Mrs. Parrett. Rev. Parrett, the evangelist- atlarge of the St. Joseph conference, lectured to a large audience Sunday evening at the U. B. church on “America for Christ” not only for the sake of America, but for the world’s sake. He told many startling facts about the moral and religious condition of our nation. He and ¥>*& Parrett spent almost a year investigating the heathendom of America, and many well informed people wilPbe surprised to know that there are 74 heathen temples and 144 heathen shrines where foreigners worship idols in our country. He made an earnest appeal to the Christian churches to make an effort to christianize the foreigners or they would heathenize our nation. He also made some startling statements in regard to mormonism. Fifty years ago there was one mormon to every 2500 Christians. Today there is one mormon to every 180 Christians. The reason for this is self evident. The heathen and mormon must sacrifice their all to their religion, which makes them the slaves of their passions. While the followers of Christ, the only religion which makes man free from his passions, appropriating to their selves their many blessings, and are inclined to look upon the blessings rather than on the Giver. Mr. Parrett was a very able talker and held the close attention of his hearers until the close of his address. The large audience was captivated by the sweet singing of Mrs. Parrett, who proves of great assistance to her husband in carrying forward their evangelistic work. Frank Spurr Injured. Word has been received here of injuries undergone by Frank Spurr, who was night foreman of the cement plant about three years ago. Mr. Spurr is now located at Kanka kee, and while engaged in putting up a motor there, fell, breaking an arm, besides receiving other injuries and breaking out all of the from his lower jaw. He was injured here in practically the same way and his many friends in this vicinity will wish for his speedy recovery. Notice To Library Patrons. On account of the Chautauqua next week, the library room will be open from 1:30 to 2:30 on the regular days. The Library Board.

SEVERE SUM LASUATORDAY Several Houses Are Struck and Much Minor Damage Done. ’* ‘ % - —• r . ■ t. The rainfall Saturday afternoon at one time resembled a cloudburst. The wind was also very violent. The large barn of Geo. Rhoades, southwest of Goshen on the Plymouth road was struck by lightning, and burned to the ground. Lightning struck the residence of Sylvester Unrue, two and one-half miles north of here, knocking one corner off the building and giving Mrs. Unrue a very severe shock which confined her to her bed for several days. The house was rodded only a few hours before the stprm which probably accounts for the fact that the house did not burn. W. E. Binkley was at Milford Tuesday repairing some slight damage done by Saturday’s electrical storm. The local lighting company have been having their share of damage this summer, but they have managed to keep their service up to a high standard through' it all. The home Telephone Company has also had their share of troubles and still we can safely venture the statement that no town this size in the state, can boast of bettef tplephone conditions than exists here. The public utilities of Syracuse are way above the average and you need only to visit some of our towns in this part of the state to prove this to your entire satisfaction. The Journal SI.OO a year.
