Betsey S. Harris.
Tho people of Manchester and
vicinity were surprised and sadden
ed Monday afternoon by the un
expected announcement of the death
of Mrs. Betsy S. Harris at her home
in Prairie township. Mrs. Harris
attended the funeral of the late
Edison Merril a week ago last Sat
urday, and on the following Monday
or Tuesday she had a severe attack
of the prevailing influenza which
soon developed into an aetite attack
of peritonitis.
Betsey Sheldon was born in
Oneida County New York, July 10,
1838, and moved with her parents
to Aurora, Illinois when she was
but four years of age. On Jnlv 3rd
1850, when she was eighteen years
old she married Charles Harris, and
for about eleven years thereafter
ed with her husband on a farm
near Sandwich, Illinois. On Feb
ruary 27th, 1808, Mr. and Mrs.
Harris and their family of.young
children moved to Manchester, and
since that time' the decedent has
mado her hoinn either in this city
on her farm in Prairie township
About two years after the family
came to Manchester Mr. Harris died
and sliortly'after his death George,
the oldest son and Hugh, the young
est joined their father in immortal
ity. There were five Rmall children
left, four sons, Herbert, Sherman,
Durdette, and Clarence, and one
laughter, Clara, now Mrs Irvin Mc
Gee. Tho manner in which Mrs
Harris cared and managed for her
children during her long widow
hood win for her the confidence
and respect of overyone wlio'knew
her. She lived to see her five
children become prosperous and
respected members of the communi
ties in which they reside, and they
all live near here, except Clarence,
whose homo is in Boulder, Montana
Mrs. Harris was a good woman
who will live long in the memory
of her kinspeople and neighbors.
The funeral will be held at the
lecendent's late home in Prairie
township at one p. m. next Thurs
day afternoon, and interment will be
mado in the cemcterv in this city.
Rev. Mrs. Crum will preach the
funeral sermon.
The Cedar Rapids High School
basket ball team played our local
High School team at Central Opera
house Friday evening. The game
was rather one sided as the score in
the first half was 24 to 0 and in the
second half 55 to 15 in favor of
Cedar Rapids. Tho members of the
Cedar Rapids team are as follows:
Horace Hedges, captain Walter
Williams, Carl Jinkens, Walter Hill,
Cyril Sloglicka. and Mr. Robert.
Carl Johnson acted as referee and
R. E. Hill, Manager. The members
of the Manchester team are: Ross
Young, Howard Allyn, Earl Seeley,
Glenn Chapman, Earl Newcomb and

The Gazatte is tho highest priced paper

man buys the thing that is the lowest
in price believing the difference in cost
to bo a mark of cheapness. The beet
is the cheapest. The Gazette at So 00

lower prlcep. The Gazxtte has the
news fresh and other dally -peril copy,

will be found in comparing the brief
items of staie news thatBppear in other

originally appearing In The Gazette
It wlil be found that whole columns
are clipped bodily. The putent houses
derive tlmir Iowa news from The Ga
