The intelligence of the passing of another of Cass county's prominent citizens and early settlers was received in this city Wednesday, when it was made known that J. Fred Schomaker, siding three miles northwest of Ne hawka, had breathed his last shortly before i o'clock Tuesdav morning. The deceased . was one of the best known and highly respected citizens of this community, and the news of his sudden demise was a great shock to the many friends of the family. Mr. Schomaker has been suffering from a disease of the heart for some time, but his condition was not thought to be serious until Tuesday morning when he awoke about 1 o'clock, complaining of a pain in the side, and in a few hours be expired from engima pectoris. The worthy pioneer who has an swered the last call, was born in IIol stein, Germany, on the :ilst of Janu" ary, 119, and located in Cass county near Nehawka in the year 1G7. There he has made his home for forty years rearing a family of six children, and acquiring considerable worldly goods.

EIGHTY-TWO YEARS OF AGE Mrs. Caroline Henton Celebrates the Same at the Home of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Gillispie Last Sunday. One of the most pleasant events of the season was the celebration of Grandma Henton 's eighty-second an niversary at the homeof her daughter, Mrs. W. F. Gillispie in Mynard, last Sunday, March 10, 1907. The occasion was one long to be re membered by all present and especial ly was Mrs. Henton happy to be sur rounded for even one day onlv by so many of her children and grand child ren. The day was delightfully spent in various ways and at the proper hour they were ushered into the spacious dining room, there to view a long table loaded down with many good things to appease the appetites of all. And when all were seated around the table to partake of the excellent re past, prepared by Mrs. Gillispie, we are safe in saying all did ample justice to viands set before them. Mrs. Henton is the mother of Mrs. W. F. Gillispie, Mrs. J. II. Adams and Mrs. J. W. Johnson. The merry throng, however, was made up of the follow ing: Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Adams, Mrs. J. W. Johnson and daughter, Ruth, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bridge and daught er of Oriert, Oregon, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bridge and two sons of Moberly, Mis souri, and Mrs. Lou Henton and daughter. When the parting hour came, it was the hope of the daughters and grand children that their dear old mother might live many years yet to enjoy a repitition each year, of this grand event. Mr. and Mrs. Bridge and daughter of Oregon, left yesterday (Monday) for Chicago where they will visit their youngest daughter, who re sides in in that city. From there they expect to go to Indiana to visit the scenes and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bridge's early childhood. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bridge returned to their home in Missouri the same day, where Mr. Bridge occupies the position of lumber inspector for the Wabash rail road. The Journal joins Grandma Hen ton's many friends in the wish that she may live many years to come and that each succeeding anniversary may be celebrated in as happy manner as that on Sunday last. She is a grand, good, old lady and is loved and respect ed by all who know her. To remove a cough you must get at the cold which causes the cough.
