We enjoyed a pleasant visit last Saturday from Charles A. Scott , K. S. A. C. , 1901 , now in the U. S. forest service. He had been out to the Cherry county forest re serve arid went up to Cody from here. Mr. Scott is a pleasing young man to meet and is a bright young man. His former home was nejir Westmoreland , Kan. J. J. McLean and wife are building a fine cement block house north of Judge Walcott's resi dence. It is 2ix26 on the inside and story and a half high. The carpenters are finishing the house now and 'twill probably be the best dwelling of its size in town. The inside will be finished up with good material and will have mod ern improvements. The plans are Mrs. McLean's. Obituary. Mrs. Rebecca S. Holsclaw died at the home of her daughter , Mrs. M. E. Jeffers , about a mile west of this city , November 4 , 1905 , and was laid to rest in the ceme tery west of town Nov. G. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church , conducted by the pastor , Royal D. Waterman. At the close of the service Mrs. Morey made a few remarks com memorative of the faithfulness of the deceased as a member of the W. C. T. U. The members of that society attended the funeral in a body. Mrs. Rebecca S. Holsclaw was the tenth child born to Judge Dav idand Mrs. Rebecca Conyer in Dearborn county , Ind. , Nov. 23 , 1829 , and hence lacked only nine teen days of her seventy-sixth birthday at the time of her death. She was married to Rev. S. W. Holsclaw , Dec. 27 , 1819 , and moved to Jennings county , Ind. , where she lived until the spring of 1851 , and then moved to Monroe county , Iowa , remaining there un til April , 1886 , when the family came to Valentine , Neb. , where she has since resided , except three years that she spent in the par sonage at Springview. She was the mother of seven sons and a daughter. All her children are living except the eldest son. There are forty-four grand children and six great-grand children , and counting seven grand children by marriage the whole number of her family was seventy-two. She was converted in her sixteenth year and has been a faithful member of the church all these years. Her home was always the home of her pastors. She greatly assisted her husband in the building of six churches , soliciting and collecting more than § 100 for the old church in Valentine. She also helped to build up sixteen Methodist so cieties in Iowa and Nebraska. She was a faithful wife , a good mother , and a friend of all that was good. When her companion and co- laborer of these many years on last Thursday broke into tears , she said , "don't cry , but pray the Lord for sustaining grace. " Then ! she exhorted him , "don't give up the faith , don't give up the faith. " She said all was well with her soul. She is not dead but gone to be with God and the loved ones gone before. Mrs. Holsclaw's death resulted after several weeks of intense suf . fering from injuries received in a fall from a buggy. She is mourn ed by all and the family have the sympathy of the entire community. Kiss me. but do not weep , beloved ; . rather , bless . ' y. ourotl That made so bright all the time Tlie path we together trod ; And doubt not that I love thee still , Wherever I maybe , That as in } ife , each throb that bjats Is tru-j as steel to thee ; And think that just beyond the veil. Within another home. With love and fdith that ne'er shall lail , I'llut for thee to come. IX MEMORY OK SISTKR HOLSCLAW. Dp.-sr husband , do not grieve for me , The time will not be long , That you and I will meet agaja ' Around the Heaven'y ' throne , Dear children , do not mourn. For mother's gone above , Has gone to be an angel Where all is peace and love. She is not dead but sleeping , To rise on that glorious morn , Where each one there pan meet her , If the blest Lord's will is d one. It is hard to part with mother , But harder for father still , The dear one through li'e's bitter sorrow was a comfort and plea ure to him. But Mother's gone to EIea ? a , To wait your coining there ; She will meet you on that happy shore face that is beaming fair. MRS. W. T. BISHOP. J. W. Ward was down from Britt last Tuesday.
