The clever young Cass county box
er, Andy Schmarder, added another
victory to his list last night at Col
umbus when he banded a knockout
punch to Itoy Rector, in the first
round of what had been scheduled to
be a ten round go and before a good
sized crowd of the sporting enthusi-i-ts
from over the eastern part of
the state.
The round opened with Andy de
cidedly in the advantage and had
not progressed far until a solor plexus
blow sent Hector to the lioor where
he remained for the count of -Jne
and then slowly arose to continue the
struggle with the husky Louisville
lad but the fight was of short dura
tion as a left jab to the jaw sent Rec
tor to dreamland for the count and
brought the victory to Andy.
Several of the friends of Andy from
Louisville had accompanied him to
Columbus and were able to witness
the shor; work that he mada of his
opponent. Thio is a convincing evi
dence that Schmarder is developing
into a higher class fighter and his
punch is getting the kick behind it
that sends his opponents to defeat.
His meeting with Captain Rob Roper
is one of the possibilities that the
host of friends of Andy are hopeful
of seeing and he may be depended
upon to give a good account of him
self in mixing it with the mighty
army battler.
Clean cut and straightforward in
every way, Andy Schmarder is prov
ing himself the best and cleverest
fighter in the state and his success
is well deserved as he is personally a
gentleman in every sense of the word
and his record is that of a clean liv
ing athlete.
While in the city today Andy in
formed the Journal that he has a
match for the coming month at Des
Moir.es with Homer Smith, one of
the fast heavyweights, and which
will be an exhibition of more than
usual merit and will be followed in
th.e near future by the meeting of
Schmarder aryl Rob Roper.

DEATH OF HUGH
CORY IN
IOWA
Brother cf John Cory of This? City,
Passes Away After Illness of Some
Duration at Sac City, Iowa.
This morning John Cory returned
home from Sac City, la., where he
had been called by the death cf his
brother, Hugh M. Cory, one of the
pioneer residents of that portion of
Iowa. Mr. Cory received the mes
sage of the illness of his brother on
Monday afternoon, but ere he could
reach Sac City the death messenger
had claimed the life of the brother.
Mr. Cory was in Sac City several
weeks ago when the brother was first
taken sick and enjoyed a very plea
sant visit with him. In speaking of
the death of Mr. Cory the Sac Sun
has the following account:
Only eighteen days after the pass
ing of his beloved companion, Hugh
M. Cory, another Sac. county pioneer,
was called to his eternal rest at
about two o'clock Monday afternoon,
January 17. 1921. Mr. Cory had
been in failing health for nearly a
year, his ailment taking the form
cf leakage of the heart. He had
rallied somewhat and even gave pro
mise of being able to get about again
when Mrs. Cory was stricken with
paralysis and died two weeks lated.
Mr. Cory insisted upon attending
the funeral and was present at the
church. That was the last time he
was able to leave his home. He
gradually failed until the end of
earth came and he was permitted to
join his wife on the other side.
The funeral was held this (Thur
dav) afternoon at 2 o'clock in the
Methodist Episcopal church, the Rev-
Maurice. P. Arrasmith having charge
of the service. The same choir that
sang at the funeral of Mrs. Cory
fifteen dais earlier, comprising B. G.
Wallace. Harry P. Armstrong, Mrs.
A. J. Irwin and Mrs. Fred Martin
with Mrs. W. R. Temple as accom
panist sang the same hymns that
were used at the funeral of Mrs.
Cory "It is Well With My Soul."
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and
"The Sun-Bright Clime." The pall
bearers were members of the Ameri
can Legion, this organization appro
priately assisting in the burial of
soldiers ot tne t ivn war nays, lsunai
was made in Cory Grove cemetery,
where Mrs. Cory and two of their
children are interred.
Hugh M. Cory was born January
1 1. 1844. on a farm in Hardin
county, Ohio, the son of t rancis M.
and Isabel Hitchcock Cory, both na
tives of Ohio. In 1854 Mr. and Mrs.
Francis M. Cory came with their
children to Sac county and "settled
near the Coon river, in what has
since been known as Cory Grove, ac
quiring the land that became the
home farm of Hugh M. Cory, a few
months after his marriage on March
15. 1864. to Miss Alice R. LaGourgue

twenty years. Mr. Cory had enlisted

principally in protecting the western
frontier.
Mr. Cory retained the old home
stead at Cory Grove until about seven
years ago when he sold it and
bought a residence on South Ninth
street in Sac City. This community
was regarded as his home from the
time of his marriage as long as he
lived, although he and Mrs. Cory so
journed for several years at Relling

Mr. Cory was early affiliated with
the Methodist Episcopal church and
was one of its faithful supporters. He
was alto a member of the Masonm
