DIED--In this village, Wednesday morning, March 7th. 1SS8, ELIJAH DBXTBB SLAFTER, in the 71th year or his age. ie subject or the above notice was born at Pompey, N. Y., December 14, 1814, From a Memorial book bofore os we learn that from early youth he was subject to tbe trials and hardships so common In those early days, bnt with a steadfast purpose and hOneit motives, for which he was so charac­ terized in later years, he sunrouated obstacles that at times seemed Impos­ sible, and earved for himself an honorable nime and place among men. In the year 1836 ho emigrated to Illinois, and settled In McHenry coun­ ty, whlcb, with the exception of a few years spent In Wisconsin, has been his home until the day of bis death, and where be endured the hardships and trials Incident to the early pioneers of this then comparatively nnsottled country. In the year 1846 he married MariaLucretia Lillie, with whom he lived 30 years and to whom six children were born, viz.: Orln A,, who now resides at Iowa City, Iowa, Emily D % the wife of Geo. W. Colby, of tbla town. Ruby A., who resides at Minne­ apolis, Minn., Sylvester, who died In 1859, at tho ago of 16 months. Chailes W., now a resident of this village, and Elcner E. who died in IS70 at the age of 6 y«ars. His wife died In October 1876. since which time he has lived with his son Charles, and although past seventy years of age of those who saw him on the streets daily but few thought that a fatal disease was preying on bis once strong constitution, and that he would suc­ cumb to the grim destroyer so soon. But then death is no respecter of persons, and like a tblof in the night he creeps In when and where least ex­ pected and soon -.r or later wo must all bow submissively to his will. In thn beginning of the year 1888 his friends noticed signs of failing health and urged him to lay aside all business cares which bo finally reluctantly con­ sented to do. The best medical skill was employed but to no avail. He slowly but surely failed, and on the morning of the 7th lost,, be quietly ani peacefully breathed bis last while reclining in his chair, not a struggle or a move to indicate that the spirit had returned to the God who gave it, tie had been a member of the Metho­ dist Church for over 40 years, and died as he had lived, a consistent Christian man. We honestly "believe Mr. Slafter had not a real enemy In the world. He was truly "the noblest work of God,'1 an honest ipan, and was honored aa<i respected wherever known. Ho will be missed at his home, among our citizens and in the church where bis wise counsels were ev<*r for the right and where his every word and act were for the best Interests of his fellow man. Verily a good man has fallen. His funeral was bold from the M. E. Church on Friday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of rela> lives and friends, snd bis remains were Interred in Woodlaud Cemetery, beside those ot h!s wife, wbo ha1 pre­ ceded him a few short years only. Tbe sympathy of the community is with tbe bereaved member! of the family. A CAUDL In taking leave of the people of McHenry and vicinity, we wish to re­ turn our grateful acknowledgment? for the kindly1 treatment and liberal patronage we bave received at your hands, and we would solicit a continu­ ance of the same for our successors, Mr, and Mrs. Birbee.

Mr. Young was atone time Principal of our Public Schools and made many warm friends In Richmond during that period. To that number hi has been constantly adding ever since. Your correspondent is a tirm believer in that old saw uL«t well euougb alone," and as Mr. Young has proven conclusively his fitness >tor the position and his ability to fill it with honor to himself and constituents, it seems to us the Republicans of McHen­ rv County will make no mistake by re­ nominating and re-electing htm for another term.
