She was the third child of John W. and Clarissa Smith. In the summer of 1841, when she was nine years of age, the family moved to the then far west, Illinois, and settled at Griswold's Lake, Mc- Henry county. In 1843 they moved to McHenry and in 1844 to Ringwood, on the farm known now as Smith's Cor­ ners. M^. Whiting was truly a pio­ neer and knew the hardship incident to the life of the early settlers. On Jan. 8, 1850, she was united in marriage to Freeman Whiting of Ringwood, who was also a native of Johnson, Vt. They began housekeep­ ing on a farm adjoining her fathers. In 1881 they moved to the present home. Four children came to gladden their home, Delbert A., Laura, wife of Rich­ ard Thompson: Lillian, wife of C. W. Harrison, and Abbie. wife of F. E. Martin, all of whom reside near the old home. Besides these children she leaves an aged husband, one sister and four brothers, Mrs. Julia Bishop and T. H. Smith of Hedington, Neb., E.

Not wh«re she hits met us before; For over the pletutuut threshold She has only to pass ontfe more. The smile on her fttce is t^uiet. And a lily is on her breast; Her hands are folded together, And the word on her lips Is "Kest." And yet it looks like ft welcome, , For her work Is compassed and done. It Is we who may not cross over. Only with SOUK and prayer, A little way into ({lory We may reach as we leave her there. But we cannot think of her idle. She must be a homemaker still; God K' veth that work to the angels, Who fittest that work to fulfil. And somewhere, yet, In the hilltops Of the country that huth no pain, She will watch in her beautiful doorway. To bid us welcome again." The funeral services were held at the late home Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29, at 2 o'clock, where a large con­ course of frienas gathered to pay their last tribute to this dear one. Rev. H. Collins officiated. The song service was by Mr. and Mrs. Walsh of Mc­ Henry. She was tenderly laid to rest in Ringwood cemetery. **» Mr*. Th«*d«r* Mayara.

Postmaster J. C. Holly was chosen chairman of the meeting and the first speaker to be introduced was Geo. W. Conn of Woodstock. Mr. Conn, in his usual masterly way, told, his listeners the importance of the present political battle. He sug­ gested that every voter consider the present campaign thofuly and think well before easting his vote on the fifth day of next month. He urged the young men, in particular, to give more time to the study of politics and national affairs and in that manner fit himself to vote honestly and intelli­ gently at the coming election. Fie pointed out the fact that the younger men of today are giving more atten­ tion to sports than they give to nation­ al, state and county affairs and warned them to give more of their time to reading up and posting themselves on the political questions of the day. The speaker also took up some minutes on the high cost of living, lie told his audience that the high cost of living was brought, about by each and every individual and because of the prosper­ ous times we were ail living higher than we ever had before. He told of the producer getting higher prices for his products than ever l»rfore, that the wage earner was getting more for his services and consequently we are obliged to pay more for thy necessities of life. As to the high cost of living, he suggested that .if we were to go back to the old days and live as people lived at that time none of, us would have complaint about the high cost of living. He closed his talk by asking every true Republican to vote the straight ticket at the election next month. Judge David T. Smiley of Wood­ stock was the next s|>eaker called upon and, like the first speaker, he urged that the straight Republican ticket be voted by all Republicans and that if there was a doubt in their minds as to the sincerity of any one of the candidates on the Republican ticket to scratch the name. He intimated that one man could not serve the Repub­ lican party and be a Hull Mooser, too. There were probably few in the audi­ ence who were not aware as to whom the judge referred when he made this remark. Hon. A. J. Olson, of Woodstock, J. H. Vickers of Harvard, Theo. Hamer and Guy Still followed in the order given. All these speaknrs went over the present political tight briefly and asked the Republican voters to stick to their party by placing a cross in the circle at the head of the ticket. The last speaker of the evening was State's Attorney David R. Joslyn of Woodstock. He attacked Roosevelt right from the beginning of his speech and wound up by calling him a traitor to his party. Like the preceding speakers he urged the voters to vote the straight Republican ticket at the coming election, thereby assuring con­ tinued prosperity and good times.
