Obituary. The accident which occurred Mon day, July 21, resulting in the death of our esteemed friend and fellowcitizen. Luther Garland, will long be remem bered by his many friends and ac quaintances, for it removed from our midst one who was held dear in the hearts of those who knew him. His character was built upon those lasting qualities of kindness toothers, sense of justice, charitableness, and sympathy. As much as it grieves us to think of his sudden departure from this lite, our grief is somewhat allayed by the thought that some day we will meet him again in that great beyond where angels know no parting. "There is no death! an angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread, He bears our pest loved things away, And then we call them 'dead.' " He was born in Perry county, Penn sylvania, September 1, 1860, and died at his home in the southwest part of Trego county, at 4 oclock p. iu., Mon day, July 21, 1902, having lived 41 years, 10 months, and 20 days. When 26 years of age, he left his home in Pennsylvania, and came West to seek his fortune. He came to Kansas in the fall of 1886, locating on a homestead in the southwest part of this county. Having had the advantage of a good common school education, he began teaching in the schools of our county. Many of Trego's teachers will remem ber when he mingled with them in the class rooms at the Normal. He became one of our most progressive and. active teachers. After having successfully taught for five years, holding at the end of this time, a sec ond grade certificate, he took up farm ing. By perseverance, application and economy, be built up a model farm, besides having a pleasant and com fortable home. In 1895 he married Miss Frances Fulton, daughter of John R. Fulton, formerly of Pennsylvania. His home life was peaceful and hap py and his friends were always sure of a hearty welcome when they came to visit him and his wife at their home. He was teacher of the Bible class at the Bethel Sunday school. By his decease, a wife, parents, and two brothers, John K. and T. Frank Garland are left to mourn his untime ly death. Our hearts go out in svm pathy for his wife iu her sad bereave ment. The remains of her husband were taken to Ransom, Tuesday afternoon, where a short funeral was preached by Rev. Funk assisted by Rev. Fleisher. The pall-bearers, J. F. Hazen, Andy Gullett, Ernest Jesse, Henry Scuaefer, Frank Curtis and Al. Swisher convey ed the body to the depot, where it was taken charge of by Mrs. Garland, who left for Perry county, Pennsylva nia, to have him buried at his old home. She was accompanied by J. M. Bistline of Ransom. Normal Notes. Roy Blakeley has the agency for most of the periodicals this year. A singing class was organized Wed nesday afternoon. A double quartette is being organized.
