Dr. J. C. Maxwell, local health

effect, and is an absolute quarantine
the same as in cases of Small Pox,
Scarlet Fever, etc. It provides that
only nurses and physicians may enter
or leave thc premises of an Influenza
victim, and also that every home
where this disease exists must be
placarded. After many conferences
and investigations, the State Board of jfrom a somewhat feverish sector of
Health decided on a rigid quarantine ,the front, which grew rather torrid
of the homes where thc disease exists 'in the "last half of the ninth". Be
rather than another state wide clos- jlieve me. when I say there Is a vast.
ing order. Every case of Influenza j chasm between this game and Tid
must at once be reported to thc local dle.de .Wink. I am feeling fit, and

I wint Reynolds received a letter
! Wednesday morning which probably
'caused him more genuine rejoicing
and lifted a heavier load from his
mind, than any letter he ever receiv
ed during his entire life time. It was
from his son Lynn, dated from "Some
, where in France" on November 15th.
Lynn had always been very punctual
! about letting his father and family
jknow about his welfare since going
'across. But the letter received on
; Wednesday was thc first for a period
j of eight weeks, and the suspense in
,vicw of the long casualty lists report
ed daily, was making Wint's hair a
(wee bit whiter, and his usual sunny
disposition a bit morose. Following

The ladies of the Coterie met at the
Club rooms on Wednesday evening of
this week for the first meeting of the
year. About fifty ladies were present
refreshments were served, and a fine
program enjoyed. Mrs. Olivia J. C.
Woodman addressed the ladies on the
subject of "Our Citizenship." This
talented lady was at her best on this
occasion, and gave one of the best
addresses over delivered before the
club. The musical numbers included
a Piano Solo by Prof. Castle, musical
director of the schools, and a vocal
duet by Mrs. Matie Cooley Abbott
and Miss Mae Brumstoad.
Frank McLain received a telegram
Thursday morning from the war de
partment stating that his son, Private
Harry McLain was wounded in action
September 30th, degree undetermined.
There evidently is some mistake in
regard to this report. He has receiv
ed a letter dated October 25th, which
states that he is all right. The let
ter will be found in anoher column of
this issue. Then on Wednesday of
this week he received a Christmas
Card dated November 20th. Another
thing that would indicate an error,
is the fact that the message says
Private Harry McLain, whereas our
Harry McLain was a Corporal when
he first went to France. While there
is probably some error, it neverthe
less cannot help but cause some
worry for the parents.
Mrs. Mary Shi ff man received a
message from the War Department
at Washington D. C. the first of the
week, conveying to her the sad news
that her son, George William Strong
died of Labar Pncumoina at a hos

George was born March 30th, 1885,
and Paw Taw had been his home. He
enlisted in "Colonel Joe's" regiment
of Kalamazoo on August 12th, and
went to France with that regiment
the following December. He was
wounded in action at the front, and
was recovering from the same when
stricken with the disease which kill
ed him. He leaves besides hjs aged
mother, two brothers, James of Paw
Paw and Frank of Burr Oak, and one
sister in Kalamazoo.
A new schedule went into efTect
on the Fruit Belt Line last Monday
that will be a considerable improve
ment in the service of that road. The
first train from Paw Paw leaves at
0:00 A. M. as heretofore. At 8:50
oast and west bound trains meet here.
Then at 12:50 another train arrives
from Kalamazoo, leaving on its re
turn to that city at 3:00 o'cock. At
5:50east and west bound trains again
meet here, the west bound going
through to South Haven, and the fast
bound to Lawton and return.- That
makes four trains to Kalamazoo daily
except Sunday: 6:00 A. M. 8:50 A.
M., 3:00 P. M. and 5:50 P. M. as far
as Lawton and change to Michigan
Central. South Haven trains leave
at 8:50 A. M. and 5:50 P. M.
The following is an excerpt of a let
ter just received by Capt. Rowland
( from his grandson, Lieut. Ralph M.
Rowland, of the 369th, Infantry
somewhere in France (or Germany)
I was on duty in the front lino
when the end came and saw the first
friendly (?) groups of German sol
diers come out of their trenches bear
ing white flags, fifteen minutes after
eleven on the eleventh.
I notice by the papers that there
seems to be some objection to the
presence of Wilhelm in Holland. He
might try the U. S. I am sure the
folks there would make it "pleasant"
for him.
I am glad it is all over. Any one
who says he isn't, if he has been at
the front, is either a fool or a liar.
I hope it will not be very long be
fore we get home. I am looking for
ward to some fishing next summer.
Enclosed in the above letter was a
citation for the "Croix de Guerre,
awarded to the 369th, Regiment d'
Infanterie U. S. A." for engaging in
thc offensive of September 18th,
storming powerful enemy positions
energetically defended and capturing
after heavy fighting, the town of
S , taking prisoners, and
capturing six cannons and many
machine guns.
MRS. GERTRUDE JACKSON
Gertrude Sherman was born in
Jeddo, New York on June 3rd, 1863
and died at Paw Paw, Michigan De
cember 9th, 1918. She had been in
good health apparently, but suffered
a stroke of apoplexy Saturday night,
passing away without regaining
consciousness.
Her home was in the vicinity
of her birth place until she
was about twenty years of age,
when she was married to Dr. George
Jackson who was at that time a
young practicing physician in Wol
cottsville, N. Y.
They immediately went to the home
prepared for her reception and lived
there a few years where the two
oldest children were born. They lived
for some time in Chicago and Cary,
Illinois. Then they moved to Mich
igan and Paw Paw has since been
their home. Four daughters were
born to th'em, Mrs. May Baker of
Cassopolis, Mich.; Mrs. Pansy Doug
las and Misses Nina and Gertrude
Jackson of Paw Paw. These with
other relatives an'd friends mourn the
loss of one who was very dear to
them.
Dr. Jackson died two months ago,
and the death of their mother so
soon after makes a double burden of
soriow for the daughters to bear.
Mis. Jackson was a good woman,
of a cheerful, sunshiny disposition
and respected and loved by all who
Ui;w 1 ere.
I lei duties ;.s a physician's wife
.'tell kept her in tiio home to answer
ir..,unies about the doctor by tele
phone and at the door, so that she
was pi evented lrom taking an active
part in serial life as she might other
wise have done She was at her best
in the home there bhc was happiest,
there she shone the brightest. To
minister to the comfort of her hus
band and the well being of her child
ren aVor'.!ed her sweetest joy.
As she had time and opportunity
she tried to help out side the home
where help was needed; and only a
few weeks ago devoted several days
to nursing the nek when nurses were
hard to find.
She was a member of the Methodist
church and of the Ladies Aid Society,
an oflicer in the Eastern Star and a
member of the Royal Neighbors.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church on Wednesday
afternoon, conducted by her pastor,
and her body was laid to rest by the
side of her husband in Prospect Hill
cemetery.
HARRY EVANS
Harry Evans passed away at his
home in the country west of the vill
age, early last Sunday morning, a
victim of the Spanish Influenza. He
had been sick but a few days, and on
Wednesday prior to his death, sat up
nearly all. day. Mr. aud Mrs. Evans
come to this community but a short
time ago, and purchased what was
formerly thc Schuneman farm. They
were fine people and made many
friends in the community in the short
time they had lived here. Their for
mer home was in Albia, Iowa, where
a large circle of relatives and friends
will mourn his untimely death. He
was but thirty-three years of age.
After a brief service at the home,
Rev. Jas. C. Brown officiating, the re
mains were taken to Albia, Iowa for
interment on Tuesday. They were
accompanied by Mrs. Evans and an
undertaker from tho home city who
came to take charge.
