In Memoriam. – "Little Rex," the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. C. [harles] E. [dward] Ledgerwood, died on Sunday evening, Nov. 24, at the home of his parents, aged 11 months and sixteen days. All that loving hearts and hands could do, was done for the joy and light of this home, but in vain, for at 9:20 the little spirit returned to God who gave and its earthly body, accompanied by parents and friends, was conveyed Monday, by rail, to its last resting place in Gravity. "Little Rex," as we familiarly called him, brought sunshine into all our hearts and we feel, with his parents and loved ones that—
The summer days have left us,
   Late autumn tide is here,
November has bereft us,
   Of much that gave us cheer;
The flowers sweet and tender,
   That we all loved so well,
By frost of cool November,
   From grace to ruin fell.
And like the summer flower,
   So gentle, frail and sweet,
Has passed from our loved bower,
   The one we fain would keep;
Yet with the flowers waning,
   Our blossom took its flight,
All calm and uncomplaining,
   In righteous garbs bedight.
O, Friends, bereaved and saddened,
   He is not lost for aye,
Your heart will yet be gladdened,
   You'll meet again some day;
Tho' his little form is turning
   To dust within the tomb,
His sole with bliss is shining,
   In Heaven, where is no gloom.
No pain for him, no sorrow,
   As comes in world like this,
No fear of coming morrow, --
   No naught but choicest bliss;
With heavenly robe of whiteness,
   His form is wrapped around,
With golden crown all brightness,
   His little head is crowned.
O, friends, with heart so lonely,
   Think this and dry your tears,
That he's in Heaven, where only
   The righteous soul appears, --
Think not of him as sleeping,
   In death beneath the sod,
But think of him as happy,
   Before the throne of God.   I. G.

Stranger Dies Suddenly At John Malick Home
County Attorney Foe was called to the home of John Malick near Cowles last night by news that a stranger had died there very suddenly that evening. He found upon investigation that the man, who bore the name of O. Mitchell was a salesman for the Home Comfort Range Co. and had been canvassing the country. He had arranged to stay over night at Mr. Malick's. After supper, while doing some writing, he fell over and expired immediately. Dr. I. A. Pace of Guide Rock was called and after an examination expressed the opinion that death had been caused by heart failure. The man appeared to be 55 or 60 years of age and presented a favorable appearance. It was learned that a brother was working near Guide Rock for the same company, so the remains were sent there, where they were claimed by him. It appears that the man leaves some children but that he had no wife living. – Argus.

Honored Mother Called to Rest
Passed Peacefully Away Last Friday Morning After Brief Illness.
New Market and vicinity was called upon last Friday morning to mourn the death of one of her aged and honored mothers, Mrs. Elizabeth Neely, who passed away at her home southwest of town about eight o'clock. She had been seriously ill only a few weeks and her advanced age of 92 years seemed unable to withstand the strain of disease. She had been a resident of this locality nearly fifty years and leaves a large circle of loving friends and relatives who sincerely mourn her passing.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ray Neely, daughter of George and Elizabeth Ray, was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania, December 6, 1839, and passed from this life at her home near New Market, Iowa, April 22, 1932, aged 92 years, 4 months and 16 days.
On December 3, 1857, she was united in marriage to J. [acob] S. [haffer] Neely near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. To this union 13 children were born. Four of these died in infancy and one daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Rulo, departed this life last August at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clyde Bodine, in Joplin, Missouri.
In 1870 she, with her husband, settled in Union county, Iowa, where they resided until 1887, when they moved to the farm southwest of New Market where she remained until called to her eternal home. She and her husband lived happily together for 65 years, he having preceded her in death April 9, 1922, at the age of 89 years.
There are eight living children: S. M. Neely of Gravity, Iowa; Dr. J. G. Neely of Winside, Neb.; Hester at home; H. E. Neely of Lyman, Neb.; Mrs. Jessie Mayhew of Villisca, Iowa; Mrs. Nora Ingram of Gravity, Iowa; Oran R. Neely and Mrs. Eldora Foster of New Market. There are 24 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren. She also has one aged brother, George Ray, in Pennsylvania.
She became a member of the Presbyterian church in early life. After moving to Iowa she became a member of the Christian church in New Market. Her religious faith was a source of great help in all problems in rearing her children as well as a great element of strength in the latter days of her weakness and infirmities.
Not only the family and relatives, but all who knew her, are grieved at her going.
It is sad that one we cherish
   Should be taken from the home
But the joys that do not perish
   Live in memory alone.

Not only the family and relatives, but all who knew her, are grieved at her going.
It is sad that one we cherish
   Should be taken from the home
But the joys that do not perish
   Live in memory alone.
All the years were spent together,
   All the happy golden hours
Shall be cherished in remembrance,
   Fragrant sweets, from memory
       flowers.
Funeral service was held at the residence Monday, April 25, at 2 p. m., with Rev. B. F. Hall in charge. During the services, Rev.

S. D. Patrick – For a long period of years S. D. Patrick was a well-known figure in Enid and his death came as a surprise to his many friends, even though he had been in ailing health for some years. Mr. Patrick was an early settler here; he had been associated with the printing and newspaper business directly or indirectly for many years. He was a founder of one of Enid's pioneer weekly newspapers and was active for years in the typographical union as an officer. Besides, he was active in church and lodge affairs, and was widely known for his long connection with an Enid cemetery association.
He was a mild-mannered, kindly soul and an efficient worker both in private and public affairs. During the late World war, he served conscientiously for many months as a member of the Garfield county war board, for which service of night and day work, he received the nominal sum of $1. Later, he served as undersheriff of the county and was rated as one of the most efficient of such officers ever to serve the county.
During his association with The News and Eagle, Mr. Patrick was a friend of all those associated with these newspapers; and their staff members join with his other friends in this area in appreciation of his services to the community and in sympathy with the family.
