After eight long weeks of intense suffering Mrs. DeFOREST passed quietly and peacefully away at 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jay CORBY. It was a sad and peculiar case. She took sick two days before the wedding of her daughter Minne and was unable to attend the ceremonies. She has never been up since and gradually grew weaker to the last. Durning her sickness she often told her daughter, Mrs. Clarence PORTER, how anxious she was to get well and visit them in their home. She endured her suffering like a soldier and died bravely and with an abiding faith in her Christian hope of a better and happier life beyond. She was a member o fthe Christian church and an earnest and faithful worker. She was also an active worker in the Ladies' Aid society. She was a member of the Rebecca lodge in this city and also of the Royal Neighbors in which she carried $1000 of life insurance. In all these societies she was an honored member and respected and loved for her generous, sympathethic and unselfish disposition and kindly treatment of all whom she met. For many years she kept hotel and and in her business as well as social life she was the same good natured, kind hearted woman. She worked hard to provide for herself and family and had laid up a little store and having sold the hotel business she was planning to take life a little more easy just as she was stricken down with the fatal sickness. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Jay CORBY and Mrs. Clarence PORTER and one son, John. Also three brothers and three sisters who live in Miami county. The bereaved family and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad hour of affliction. The funeral was held at the Christian church at 2:30 p.m. Friday. --Observer.
The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday Febraury 24, 1899 Happily Wed. The wedding bells have been heard again sending forth their joyful chimes announcing the marriage of J.M. WOOD and Miss Silly SIMPSON. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of February 16, 1899, at the home of the bride, two miles northeast of LaCygne, the family only being present, we united in the bands of holy wedlock, J.M. WOOD and Miss Silly SIMPSON. After the ceremony we were invited to the dining room where we beheld the table laden with the bounties of earth and all the good things that would tend to tempt the appetite of the most dyspeptic person. It does not need to be said that we did ample justice to the excellent supper. mr. WOOD is one of Anderson county's most promising young men, while Miss Simpson is the eldest daughter of one of our most enterprising and prosperous farmers, John Simpson. The young people left Monday for the west where Mr. Wood will take charge of a ranch belonging to his father. We are exceedingly sorry to lose them, but as they go from us to build up a new home in the west, we all unite in wishing them much joy, and as they float down the stream of life together they ma! y enjoy the blessings of happiness and prosperity. A.D. Wood. (Note: (Silly spelled as printed in newspaper.)
The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday February 24, 1899 I.N. Crow Decides Against It. I.N.

Of course we asked him what was a mistake and he continuted: "This think of thinking that whiskey is the great remedy of the grip. I have had the grip indications in a strong form and I haven't taken a drop. I am getting the best of the disease and I believe it is not true that whiskey is the great remedy for this ailment." We spent some time in argument in favor of John Barley corn but it was of no use, he had us beat on every point. And I.N. CROW is no temperance crank by any means.
