OBITUARY
Hariett Eliza Cullison was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, February 20, 1851 and died of typhoid fever in Woodburn, Iowa at twelve o'clock, Monday October 27, 1908. She, when a child moved with her parents to Aledo, Illinois and there grew to womanhood and was there married to Samuel B. Heston, February 9, 1870. To this union was born four children one daughter Mrs. Carrie M. Rogers, Roy J., Clyde S., and Gay A., all of whom are living in Woodburn, and were present at the funeral. Sister Heston was converted when sixteen years of age and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which she remained a consistent and devoted member during life. She was a true and conscientious Christian, a faithful and devoted mother. In all her life she manifested the most tender and unselfish devotion to husband and children who will sorely miss her loving ministrations. She was very kind and unselfish in disposition and was held in the highest esteem by all her neighbors.
When realizing that possibly she might have been stricken with fatal illness she remarked to her daughter that she was well prepared and ready to go to the home above. Besides her husband and children she leaves two brothers, four sisters, and five grandchildren to mourn their sore berevement. The funeral services were held in the M E church at Woodburn, the sermon preached by the pastor Rev. A.C. Heckathorn from John 14, 1-3, and she was laid to rest in the Oakland cemetery. Comfort ye comfort ye my people saith your God.

The Osceola Democrat
Osceola, Clarke Co. Iowa
Thursday, November 19, 1908

MARRIED. Miss Ida Lane and Mr. Frank Chamberlain were united in marriage Thursday noon, November twelfth at the home of the brides father, six miles north of Osceola. A number of relatives and friends were present at the ceremony which was performed by Rev. O.M. Penncock of the Osceola Church of Christ. The bride is the daughter of S.A. Lane and the groom is a prosperous young farmer. We join with their many friends in wishing for them a long and happy wedded life.

MARRIED. W. H. Budick and Sarah J. Burdick were married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John McDaniels in Washington Township Monday evening November the sixteenth at eight o'clock. A company of neighbors, intimate friends and relatives were present. A splendid supper was served, after the ceremony which was preformed by Rev. A. Q. Garret. They will probably reside here. The groom who was originally a Clarke County man, is recently from Knox County, Nebraska.

Common-Law Wife. Emma Olive Koons-Penny, who says she is the common law wife of Dallas Penny, who employed in a local wall paper store, raises a brand new question by asking that Judge Brennan annul a marriage which never occurred. Mrs. Penny, if she is entitled to the name, decares in her suit for annulment that she and Penny decided to live together as husband and wife in February, 1905. Since that time, she says, they have so resided-man and wife-but that Penny has become obstreperous and has often threatened to blow her brains out. She asks now that she be permitted to take again her maiden name of Emma Olive Koons and that Penny be enjoined from bothering her with his presence and threats. When Judge Brennan was approached with the restraining order by W. T. Maxi, he wrinkled his brow. "How can a woman have her maiden name restored when she never lost it?" he asked. "This case is one I had better take under advisement." -Capital.

ENTERTAINED. Miss Gertrude Swick entertained about thirty of her friends at her home Saturday evening, November 14th. Everyone reported a fine time. There were games and amusements of all kinds. Four prizes were given, the first, cards were handed around with the name of some animal on it and then each one was given a stick of gum to chew and then make the animal named on your card with your gum and the best and quickest done received first prize and the poorest received a booby prize. Cora Thornton received first prize and Russel Kennedy the booby prize. Next each one was given an envelope containing twenty grains of corn and when one got another to say "yes" they would have to give them a grain of corn and the one who got the most grains received the first prize and the one who got the least received the booby prize. Ethel Adams received first prize and Effie Stansbury the booby prize. A lap supper was served.

Back From District Meeting. Miss Alice Tyler of the state library commission, returned last evening from Osceola, where she addressed the district convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs on the "Library as an Educational Factor." She was accompanied home by Mrs. Horace Towner of Corning, who was also on the program in Osceola.

CHARITON MAN SUICIDES. Chariton, Nov. 26. - Aaron Veterson, aged 78 years, committed suicide Thursday night by hanging himself from the ceiling of his bedroom.

SET FIRE TO BABY SISTER. Laurens, Iowa, Nov. 13th:-While Mrs. N. Workman of Laurens was on an errand across the street her two children, aged 3 and 4, climbed upon the highchair and got some matches from the shelf and set fire to the clothes of their 13-month-old baby sister. When the mother returned she found the babe all aflame. Wrapping it in her cloak she extinguished the blaze, but the child was so burned that it died a few hours later. Mr. Workman who was ditching, could not be located owing to the fact that he was on his way home. He arrived a few hours after the accident and was told of the affair as he alighted from the train.

MYSTERIOUSLY INJURED. Conductor E. L. Lamburger of freight train No. 17, came staggering into the depot Wednesday night in a dazed condition, about an hour after his train had pulled out for Creston, he was unable to talk much but it is said that he kept repeating the words, "I missed it." Upon examination it was found that he had been badly bruised and bore ugly cuts on the back of his head and neck. Preparations to send him home to Ottumwa but his injures were so severe it was necessary to send for a doctor and after his wounds were dressed and he was taken to Ottumwa. He had not been missed from the train until it had reached Creston and then they backed up searching for him. The train had been switching in the yards here and Conductor Lamburger had given them the signal to pull out of town but he was left, whether he was knocked off the train by falling coal, or tramps beat him and put him off, or whether he attempted to board the train and missed his footing in the dark, is yet a mystery as far as we could ascertain at this time. On the way to Ottumwa, he was unconscious when the train reached Chariton.
