OBITUARY. Mrs. Lucy A. Kannel was born January 6, 1853, died December 4, 1906 aged fifty-three years, ten months and twenty-eight days. Short illness of typhoid fever. Was married to Henry Kannel 1877, came to Van Wert county in 1881. She leaves a husband, a daughter and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The events of each day of our lives furnish new proof that the pale and shadowy-robed reaper, whose name is death, still wanders: through life's harvest fields, reaping as he goes. Sometimes he reaps the grain fully ripe, of sear leaf, and ears full and grown. Again, he takes the tender shooting blade and transplants it to the fields of heaven while oftentimes he gathers the strong, the fresh and verdant. With noiseless but unwelcome step he hath entered a home where never before his shadowy form had sat. He staid not long; for ah, he went not as he came, alone; for there went one with him, who it seemed was the light and joy and pride of the household. With what fondiness and assiduity did loving hands administer to her wants, how eagerly were their efforts to win her back tQ life and health. Yet all was in vain. The fiat bad gone forth and human efforts could avail but little, she was walked through the dark valley. But she assured the loving one who lingered fonily round her bedside she wduld not walk alone, her Savior would support her there and that she had a hundred joys for every pain. We have consigned her body to its mother earth, but we hope she has reached the better shore of the spirit land, and now walks in spotless robes among the myriads of the redeemed.
Beautiful toiler, thy work is done,
Beautifal soul into glory gone;
Beautiful life with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest.
Rest from all sorrow and awakening and fears,
Rest from all possible sighing and tears;
Rest through God endleas wonderful years
At home with the blest.
Writing of her Sunday School scholar.

DETAILS OF DROWNING. The following clipping from the Decatur, Michigan, Republican, gives the details of the drowning of Ray Athey, son of James and Elsie Athey, former residents of this city:
"Ray Athey was drowned In the old swimming hole last Friday evening and the Lake of the Woods has claimed another of Decatur's best young men.
"Ray did the delivering for Evans' grocery that day and when he put out the horse at 6 o'clock he and Floyd Mullinex and Dalton Brown went to the lake. At the swimming place the water grows deeper gradually to about five feet and then there is a pitch off to eight or ten feet. Ray waded out too far and went over the pitch off. He could not swim and called frantically for help. Floyd Mullinex did his best to save him but was not large enough and strong enough to do so. Walter Brown's boy is still smaller and was powerless to help. The boys ran to the village for assistance and a crowd quickly gathered at the lake but it was not until 11 o'clock that the body was recovered."
