Obituary of Mrs. Mary B. Miller.
Mrs. Mary Barry Miller was born
October 7, 1848, and died Saturday
evening, October 2, 1909, after a lin
gering sickness from chronic Bright's
disease.
Mrs. Miller, who was well known
to the old settlers of this state, came
to Cass county In 1867. She was born
In Noble county, Ohio, and was the
daughter of Thomas L. and Sarah
Headly Barry, old settlers in Ne
braska, and now deceased. Mrs.
Miller was first married to G. W.
Young, February 6, 1868, who serv
ed two terms as county commissioner
In the 90's, and who now resides
near Alva, Okla. To them was born
Mrs. Hattie J. Davis, living near
Murray; Mrs. John Murray and Miss
Ada Young, both living near Alva,
Okla. Four children were lost dur
ing an epidemic of diphtheria. One
sister survives her, Mrs. James Worth
of Thurston county, this state.
On February 7, 1907, she was
united in marriage with Mr. Chris.
Miller, and since which time up to
the time of her -death, they made
their home in Murray, Neb. For
many years Mrs. Miller was a de
voted member of the United Breth
ren church at Otterbeln, but since
making her home in Murray she
united with the Christian church, the
church convenient to her borne.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon and was held at the Otter
beln church in Mt. Pleasant precinct
by Rev. Luther Moore, the Christian
minister from the church at Platts
mouth. A large number of old
neighbors gathered at the church to
pay their last sad respects tp one
they had so well known.
The solden hills are sear; another
season closes, when nature does not
die, but simply falls asleep, the
requiem of the mourners die today,
an echoing dirge from that unknown
shore .that we, shall triumph our
Death'; ""' - "; ' - .'-''"'

A Correction.
In our write-up of the automobile
accident, in which there appears an
inference that the driver was drunk.
The auto is owned by John Urlsh,
and his son Henry was the driver.
We are sorry they put this infer
ence upon the article, because the
young man never drank a drop of
liquor in his life. The Journal is
always willing to correct errors that
creep into its columns, and in jus
tice to Mr. Urlsh and the young man
we are glad to make this correc
tion. Bystanders say that the auto
was not going at the rate that was
reported, and was going at a rate of
only about four miles an hour, or
less.
Fine Apples.
Our old friend, J. II. Tarns, left
at this office today a quantity of the
finest looking winter apples we have
seen this season. There are several
varieties, and they are all very solid
and fine in appearance. Mr. Tarns
Is superintendent of the county farm
and the fruit crop, like all other
crops raised on the farm since his
Incumbency, is first-class in every
particular. Mr. Tarns has evidently
demonstrated that "he Is the right
man In the right place."

in less than two hours. After lodge '
the ' entire party" made the return

fine, with moonlight to keep them
out of the rough places.

AFTER THE GRIPPE
Yinol Bestored This Man's
Strength
"Several years ago I was attacked by
a severe case of grippe, which left me
with a hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
I received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vlnol,
and after taking three bottles I waa
entirely cured.
I believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, ad
it does what la claimed for it." R. E. R.
Hicks, Maplesvllle, Ala.
The reason Vlnol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troublej
is because it contains tonic Iron and
all the healing and body building ele
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vlnol Is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and run-down persons, and after
sickness.
