Page 1Death of A. B. VINES
A. B. Vines, the editor and publisher of the East Peru Mail, died very suddenly last Saturday morning at his home in Peru. Some years ago he suffered from a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered though the end came suddenly.
Mr. Vines came to Peru to take charge of the Mail twenty one years ago. His style of writing was quaint and he adhered to the old style journalism but he possessed a keen sense of humor and gave the people of his community a readable newspaper under difficulties that would have discouraged others. He enjoyed the will and respect of a wide circle of friends and will be sorely missed in the community where he lived.
Mrs. Vines will issue the final edition of the mail this week. She hopes to sell the equipment and subscription list to some one who will continue the publication of the paper.

Albert Brisbane Vines, the son of Daniel and Amanda Vines, was born in Morrow County, Illinois, October 15, 1853, and died August 2, 1919, aged 65 years, 10 months and 13 days.
When a small boy he came with his parents to Fayette, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. In 1876 he was married to Miss Eva Parrott, who died in 1879. In 1895 he was married to Mrs. Alice Beaman, of Olin, Iowa. To this union one son , Jerome N. Vines was born, who with the bereaved wife and step-daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Mell Young, of Audubon, and grandson, Harry Young, together with one sister, Mrs. J. B. Templeton, of St. Louis, a brother, H. G. Vines of Prairie View, Kansas, and a host of friends survive him.
Mr. Vines was a man most loved by those who knew him best. He was of a quiet unassuming disposition. He entered his father’s printing office when a boy of thirteen, learning the trade in all its departments and has made it his life’s work, having worked at that for 52 years, owning and operating his own office since he was 21 years old.
In September of 1898 he came to Peru with his family and established the East Peru Mail, which he was still running at the time of his death, working on the paper every day of the week and up to 4 p. m. or later the day he was stricken.
He studied for the ministry in his youth but on the advice of his parents gave up the thought and continued in the printing business. He was a member of the Peru Christian Church, whose principals he loved, but was broad minded and liberal in his views, loving all, and the hungry never passed his door without being fed.
He was an active member of the Masonic order and had been for over thirty years.
