OUR OLD NEIGHBORS

J. C. Moody of Withee sends the Gleaner a copy of the Wonewoc Reporter for June 7^th, which contained news that will be of sad interest to many Gleaner readers who knew the family when they were Clark county residents.

"The people of this place were shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. G. E. Maynard Thursday morning, May 31^st about 8 o’clock. She was sitting in her chair piecing quilt blocks and talking with one of her friends who called to see her, when she was taken very sick. The Dr. was called but she was past help and died in a few minutes. For several days she had not been feeling well but nothing serious was thought of it for she was able to do her own work most of the time. Adalaine E. Marshall was born in New York, June 16, 1842. At the age of thirteen she came with her parents to Wisconsin, and has resided here ever since. About six years ago she and her husband came to this town from Greenwood, Wis. Mrs. Maynard was a member of the Baptist Church at Greenwood and at the time of her death she was secretary of the Ladies’ Aid Society here and was for some time a member of the Relief Corps of Wonewoc. She leaves to mourn her loss a bereaved husband and six children, Frank E., of Amberg, who was not present at the funeral, Mrs. Phebe Poppy, Charles, Warren and George Maynard, of Nashwauk, and John of Union Center, all of whom were present at the funeral, besides three sisters and two brothers The funeral was held Sunday, June 3^rd at 10 o’clock at the M. E. church, officiated by Rev. Baremore, pastor in charge. Interment at Pine Eden cemetery at Wonewoc. They have the sympathy of the community."

News has been received by relatives and friends here of the death of Mrs. Wm. Austin at Prosser, Yakima Co., Wash., June 16^th from heart failure. She and her husband lived in Greenwood a number of years ago, he having run the first stave mill built here, the one that was across the Black river. Mrs. Austin was the mother of five children, Mrs. George Warner of Hemlock being one of the daughters. The Clark county friends of the family sympathize with the mourning husband and children.

Born to Mrs. and Mr. Harry L. Stoker of Owen, Friday, June 22^nd, a daughter.

Next year it will be a basket picnic instead of being run as it has thus far. It is likely that Merrillan will be the next place of meeting.

Mrs. A. C. Smith sold her restaurant last week to W. H. Cole of Greenwood. Mrs. Cole having former experience in the business will give her patrons good service.

Mrs. Smith has built up a good trade during her stay here of only a few months and while we regret to have her leave, yet we wish the new proprietors nothing but the best of success. They will keep a home bakery in connection and will handle all kinds of fruit in season. They are deserving of your trade. - Loyal Tribune
