Walker "Life is full of broken meaSBMw, Objects unattained; - Sorrows intertwined w$th pleasures, Loses of our dearest treasures, Ere the heights be gained. Broken measures find completeness In the perfect whole; Life is but a day in fleetness, Richer in all strength and sweetness, Grows the striving soul To the many who have known our townsman, . W. E. Walker, and who have esteemed him so highly, the news of his death came as a painful surprise--not thinking that Death was so near and that he would claim one whose life was so full of usefulness During his few hours of illness he was patient in suffering with thoughts loving and affectionate for those in the home circle, and hopeful of the future, and to be with him was banish the thought of changes so sad and so immediate. Death came so gently that no change was discernible. Breathing regularly, peacefully, naturally, a casual observer would have thought it-a quiet sleep. Gradually the pulse grew weaker, the respiration less frequent and at last, without a tremor, he breathed away his life sweetly and vested with his God. His kind words and kind deeds quietly spoken and done are precious souvenirs--the golden clasp that binds the volume ot k life given to do good to others. Be was our honored friend and brother, who gave his unabated interest in the welfare of his neighbors. His services to others are a beautiful expression of the unselfish love that burned brightly on the altar of af --lection. The wild tempest of death that extinguished the lamps of mortality only made the light of fraternnl love burn more brightly, superadded to a heart of natural generosity. was the pure grace of Christian Wndness. Hence then was a steady 'constant light shining at all times Upon his friends. "Happy the man whose life is given With equal earnestness to earth and heaven. His deeds are monumental here below And in eternity as stars of heaven glow." Our friend and neighbor was born in the town of Ulster, Bradford county, Pa., Dec. 5, 1846. He was married to Hannah E. Oviatt, Sept. 27, 1874. He passed into the great silence on June 2, 1919, at 3(00 p. m. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and two sons, Irvin and Fred; two sisters, Mrs. J. Hill and Mrs. J. H. Parks of Rock Island; a brother, John Walker of Clinton, Wis.; an aged mother, Mrs. Ann Walker of Rotk Island, and Mrs. S. Devoe, a sister of Mrs. Walker, whose home is Argyle, Wis. The funeral wedding cereby Rev. Geo. Schark at St. Peter's Catholic church at Volo on Wednesday morning of last week, when Miss Lillian Rosing of Ingleside and Mr. Joseph Tonyan of Johnsburg were made man and wife.

Sheridan on Monday of this week, after enjoying a five days' pass at his home here. Peter returned from overseas service af short time ago and while at Brest suffered a severe attack of rheumatism, which affected his lower limbs so that it was necessary for him to seek treatment at the army hospital.
