HOPE
MARRIED.

Smith, Waukon, September 4th, 1884, Mr. A. B. LATHROP, and Miss
ALMA SMITH.

Stoddard,
September 10th, 1884, by Rev. B. Hall, Mr. WILLIAM H. GRIMM and
Miss MARY
K. STODDARD.
These two marriages were not unexpected events, and many friends
wish them much happiness and success in life.
A large number of guest of the parties were present to witness
the ceremonies, and wish them "God speed." After the
marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Grimm, yesterday forenoon, they and Mr.
and Mrs. Lathrop took the train for Ainsworth, Neb.; where
Messrs. Lathrop and Grimm go into the drug and general
merchandise business. They are sterling young business men and we
doubt not will meet with merited success. They have taken from
this community two of our fairest and best young ladies, to who a
large circle of
friends and relatives (the rest of the article is cut off.)

J.W. PATTERSON left on Tuesday for a visit to his son Lyman, in
Sac county. He will be absent about 2 weeks.
Mr. HUNT of Linn county, has been visiting Abram HART this week.
Godfrey STAADT has put in a new cistern this week.
DIED.
Our people were shocked on Tuesday to learn that Ray BARCLAY was
dead. He had been in SE Kansas for the past year. His father, on
receiving intelligence of his illness started for Kansas last
Friday and arrived shortly before his death. His mother followed
on Monday but was too late. The remains arrived on Thursday and
the funeral was held in the afternoon of the same day, from the
Methodist church. And now the dust reposes in the Postville
cemetery. His death was caused by typhoid malarial fever, after
two weeks illness. He was in his 26th year. The family and
friends have our sympathy in their great and sudden bereavement.
He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Rebecca PATTERSON and one child.
