In 1742 he invented an open stove “for the better warming of rooms and at the same time saving fuel, as the fresh air admitted was warmed in enterting.” Franklin made a present of the model to a friend who having an iron furnace found the casting of the plates for these stoves a profitable venture. To further assist his friend and increase the demand Franklin published a pamphlet entitled “An Account of the New-invented Pennsylvanian Fireplaces, etc.” So great was the result that he was offered a patent on the stove, which he declined because, as he said, —“As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.” The public-spirited decision was immediately taken advant-

age of by a London ironmonger, who patented the result, and reaped a fortune.

He- died from his injuries on Sunday morning. ■ o OBITUARY Theodore S. Sheffield was born at Pelham, New York, June 13, 1843, and died at Syracuse, Ind., January 13, 1922 being 78 years and 7 months old. His youth was spent among the quiet pastoral life of Long Island. New York, and the scenes and incidents of his boyhood were an unfailing source of pleasure to him. His parents were Episcopalians, and they trained the boy in the principles and practices of that; faith, and planted in his soul an ’’biding love of the Christian life ’-d church history. Throughout •di his after years he was a close student of the Bible, and a sturdy champion of its truths against cl I attacks from agnostics and others. He was given also special training in vocal and instrumental music. When he came West in the late 50’s he carried with him fine testimonials from former pastors as to his ability as teacher of church music and trainer of church choirs. It can be realized here how great was his loss when he was deprived of the priceless sense of hearing. Although deprived of the outer sense, he never lost his inner sense of musical tones, and would sing sacred songs for long periods for his own joy and

the glory of God. • Such reverent homage must have been pleasing to his Maker. In the War to preserve the Union he was enrolled aS a private in Co. D 152nd Indiana Regiment and served until honorably discharged May 25, 1865. While thus enrolled as a soldier he was stricken with disease that destroyed his hearing. During the pastorate of. Rev. G. M. Carpenter in 1885, Nil’. Sheffield and his wife became members of the Syracuse M. E. church. At that time he was one of the only two male members and assisted in the work of building the first M. E. church here.In the ten years struggle of the Temperance Cause he was “steady, steadfast and strong” for the right. Theodore Sheffield was a good neighbor. He brightened the homes a|4out him with the beauty of his annual flower gardens, and the fragrance thereof was borne to all of us. He possessed a strong love for flowers and persisted in having the specific j name for each plant, thus attach-1 ing personality to each one—fc.rl they were indeed his very dear friends. Deceased was married Sept. 18, 1864, at Benton. Ind., to Hester Ann Rhoads, where were born their two children, Mrs. Dora Weaver and William Sheffield, who survive. There are also nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren to perpetuate the memory of a beloved grandparent. Before the home was broken by the death of Mrs. Sheffield in Sept. 1917, the home was a most hospitable one. Their charity was unbounded. And, besides the immediate members of the family, there are
