OBITUARY Following is the obituary of Miss Mable Walker, who passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Walker, of the Panther vicinity, April 21, 1926, which is gleaned from the Dallas County News: Mable Catherine Walker was born at the farm home near Adel, Iowa, September 20, 1901 and died April 21, 1926, aged 24 years, 7 months and 1 day. Of her life little need be said, for it speaks for itself. Her many good deeds and accomplishments speak louder than anything that might be said, yet all that could truthfully be said is inadequate, for a more talented, uselful, loving woman than Mable has been would have been difficult to find. Her early life was spent in the home assisting with varied duties and in attending district school. In 1917 she entered High School at Dallas Center and graduated with honors in 1921. Twice she spent a season in Bethany Bible School, Chicago, to better fit herself for her life work. One June 10, 1914, at the tender age of twelve years, she gave her heart and life to Jesus and since that time had made a steady growth in all the christian graces. At the time of her death she was president of the District Young People's organization, District Sunday school secretary, assistant Sunday school superintendent, chairman of the Christian Worker's Society, chairman of the program committee, teacher of the Young People's Sunday school class, and she had planned to volunteer for the ministry. She also helped in many other ways in the social and religious life of the community. Mable was both loving and lovable. Babies left their mothers to go to her; children clung to her as she entertained them with story or song; the young social circle placed her in the center of their group and the older ones enjoyed her presence. Surely death has aimed his arrow at a shinning mark, but "God's finger touched her and she slept." Funeral services were held Friday at the Community Center church, conducted by the home minister, J. B. Spurgeon and A. M. Stine. The very large concourse of friends and the array of beautiful flowers are an eloquent tribute to the esta... which this estimable young... held.

HOME WEDDING. Saturday, May 1, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ida Good, occurred the marriage of her daughter, Esther, to Mr. Wm. Chartier of Clyde, Kansas. The marriage was performed in the presence of only immediate relatives by Rev. E. B. Studebaker, pastor of the Brethren church. The young folks left Sunday morning for Clyde, where they will go to housekeeping on Mr. Chartier's father's farm. Mr. Chartier is not so well known here, but is a young man of excellent character, and who is highly esteemed in his neighborhood. He is a brother of Mrs. C. E. Shields. His bride was born here and has grown to womanhood here, and was one of the finest young ladies of the community. Every good wish follows the newly-weds to their new home.
