This not only means a profitable investment for them but will serve as an excellent en vironment to the surrounding ranches. / OBITUARY. Julia , wife of Klza E. Vander- grift , died Oct. IS , 1907 , at an early age , mourned by a husband and four little ones and a large number of friends who esteemed her as a devoted wife and mother and a consistent member of the M. E. church. She v as born in Alia , Iowa , in 1&S2 , 11m second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colby. She received her education in the public and normal schools of Madison and tlio Mjilo normal school at SpringHu ] , , S. D. Her thorough scholarship was shown by her writings , especially a re ligious piece entitled "Sometime AVe'll Understand. " She lived a few years only in Iowa , then lo years in South Dakota and 9 years in Nebraska , where , in 1900 , she married El/a E. Vandergrift. Suddenly stricken with puerper al scepticcmia , she was taken to Omaha for treatment , but her strength was not equal to the journey and after severe sull'ering , which she endured with Christian fortitude and patience. She died there and was taken to Woodlake for burial. The sad services were conducted by Rev. A. T. Carpent er , assisted by the M. W. A. and the Royal Neighbors. The pall bearers , led by the M. W. A. were Will Parker , John Whillans , Mort Izenhart , Wm. Wagner , M. J. Hyde and Chas. Hostetter. For the occasion the church was beautifully decorated with a pro fusion of Ilowers , tokens of esteem and love from Woodlake friends. C'AKD OF THANKS.
