Death of Mrs. Thompson
Mrs. Enoch Thompson, mother of Mrs. W. H. Wilson, passed away on Wednesday morning about 5 o'clock. She has been ill and failing for the past four weeks. She will be buried at Shenandoah Thursday or Friday of this week.

Death of A.D. Richards
Augustus D. Richards has gone to his long home and the mourners go about the streets. His years were almost three score and ten, and during all the years of his life his home was on the farm where he was born. His early history dates back to the real pioneer days, and if there is such a thing as pride of ancestry in Fremont county, Gus Richards is a man who could, without question, claim his share. He was the son of Milton and Jane Jackson Richards who settled here in 1846, in the days of the Morman hegira, a few months before Iowa became a state, three years before the organization of Fremont county and five years before the birth of Sidney. Milton Richard was one of the big men of his day and occupied a prominent place in the early history of the county. He was first clerk of the district court and issued the first marriage license when the county seat was at Austin. In 1851 his wife named the new county seat Sidney, in honor of her old home at Sidney, Ohio, and the town was platted and modeled on the lines of the Ohio town. The public and private life of Milton Richards, the old pioneer, according to the records of the historian and the testimony of those who knew him was of the purest and best. Augustus Dolphus Richards was born four miles south of Sidney, August 24, 1849, and died June 8, 1917, after a lingering illness of nearly two years. On December 31, 1871, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary E. Yates. To this union no children were given, but three orphan boys, the youngest five years of age were taken into their home and reared to manhood. One now lives in Kansas City, two in Oklahoma, none being able to get here to attend the funeral on account of the high waters. When 17 years of age Mr. Richards made a profession of faith in Christ and united with the Christian church at Sidney. He lived until the end in the faith of the gospel and died in hope of its glory. He was a man of honor, industrious, kind and sympathetic to those in distress about him and the world has been enriched by his life. Four sisters and one brother survive, namely, Milton Richards who lives in Nebraska; Mrs. James Ray, Ottawa, Kansas; Mrs. S. P. Cadle of Washington; Mrs. Frances Stephens and Mary Story who live near Sidney. He also leaves a wife and numerous other relatives to mourn his loss. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, June 10, at the Sidney Baptist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. P. Thomas, who paid a noble tribute to the departed brother. The speaker said his acquaintance with Mr. Richards, although of short duration, had been an inspiration to him. He took the very appropriate and suggestive text from Acts 11:24: "He was a good man." Rev. Thomas told what it meant to be a good man. Some who are called good by men are not good in the sight of God. To be good man in the sight of God a man must be a believer in God and in Jesus Christ, and not only a believer but also a man who obeys and follows God's commandments and teachings. Although, on account of the floods, the people east of the Nishnabotana could not be present, the church was completely filled by the relatives and old friends and neighbors. Interment was in the Sidney cemetery, the services at the tomb being conducted by the I.O.O. F., Mr. Richards having been a member of this organization for 25 years.

Mrs. Lucy Clayton
Mrs. Lucy Clayton died the latter part of last week at her home near Grant City, Missouri. Mrs. Clayton before her second marriage was known here as Mrs. Burdick, and in the early '80's lived with her family in Prairie township five miles east of Sidney. She was the mother of Nathan Burdick of Sidney and Judson Burdick of Farragut. She was nearly 83 years of age and is survived by four sons and one daughter. She has lived in Missouri for 23 years.

ANOTHER POPULAR COUPLE MARRIED
Miss Ione Chantry and John D. Ross, Jr., United in Matrimony in Sidney Last Thursday Evening


Oh, what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries Earth, if it be in tune,
And over it gently her warm ear lays.

On Thursday evening, June 7, 1917, Miss Ione Virginia Chantry was given in marriage to John D. Ross, Jr. It was upon one of those rare June days which poets only can describe, which made a most charming and suitable setting for our fair June bride. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's father, A.L. Chantry, and was attended by numerous relatives and friends of the bride and groom, among whom were Hon. A. J. Chantry of Malvern, the bride's grandfather, and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross, father and mother of the groom.
Other guests from out of town were
Mr. and Mrs. H.T. Beattle and children, of Malvern
Mrs. C. L. Ellis of Tabor
Mr. and Mrs. Forrest R. Chantry, of Malvern
Mrs.M.A. Chantry, Allen and Edith, of Omaha
Miss Ruth Chantry of Malvern
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Farwell of near Shenandoah
Mr. and Mrs. Morton Graves, Ross, Lois of near Shenandoah
Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Hurlbutt and son of Tabor
Mr. and Mrs. James Pullman of Randolph
Mrs. Allen Ross and daughter of Wyoming
Miss Josephine Ross, of near Shenandoah
Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Ross of near Shenandoah
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Scott of near Shenandoah
Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas of near Shenandoah

Those present from Sidney were Rev. and Mrs. C. M. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. I.P. Dixon, Miss Glenne Dixon, Miss Helen Waterman and Miss Effie Crandal. The bride's two oldest brothers, Paul and Wendell, could not be present, as they are engaged in their country's service, one at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the other in New York bay. The rooms were artistically decorated in yellow and white. The flowers used were yellow iris, and white bridal wreath. The bride was charmingly dressed in a gown of white lace, and wore a veil of white tulle which was the bridal veil of her aunt, Mrs. Lillian Beattle, who was married 11 years ago, and which has been worn on several like occasions in the family since that time. She carried a beautiful bouquet of home grown white flowers. The groom was handsomely attired in the conventional black. To the strains of Mendelsshohn's wedding march, Miss Lois Graves, the groom's niece, and Miss Ruth Chantry, cousin of the bride, assisted by Joe and Archie Chantry, brothers of the bride, entered and formed a ribbon aisle. Rev. C. M. Ward and the groom, followed by Miss Jean Beattle as ring bearer, proceeded to an arch of bridal wreath; then came the bride, attended by her father. The beautiful and impressive ring ceremony was used. Immediately following the ceremony, Miss Mildred Chantry, accompanied by Miss Lillian Chantry, sisters of the bride, sang "Because" after which a delightful two-course luncheon was served by Mrs. Marjorie Harrison, Miss Eva Holloway, Miss Ida Meyer and Miss Leona Watson. Amid congratulations and good byes the happy couple left for a short wedding trip. They will make their home at "The Elms", five miles northwest of Shenandoah. The bride is the eldest daughter of A. L. Chantry of Sidney, and the groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ross of Walnut township, well known early settlers of Fremont county. The numerous friends of both bride and groom wish them much joy and happiness throughout all their days.

Otte - Liggett
The young people of Sidney and vicinity, and some of the older ones with fun proclivities, had a lot of fun Monday, evening at the expense of Frank Liggett and Mrs. Maude Otte, who the participants in the charivari claimed had been married on June 9 at Nebraska City. Both Mr. Liggett and Mrs. Otte strenuously denied the allegations and defied this "alligators", but were compelled to bear the burden of the sport, nevertheless. The instigators of the charivari claim to have proof beyond doubt that the couple were married as aforesaid, their denial to the contrary, notwithstanding, nevertheless and but, and want to make them "come across" in some substantial manner with the "treats". Both Mr. Liggett and Mrs. Otte are well and favorably known in the community, and would and will and should receive the best wishes of all in case they have or will or would join their hearts and hands and fortunes for better or worse in this sad and glad old world.

MILES H. INMAN IS SUDDENLY CALLED
Passed Away at His Home North of Thurman While at Work Monday Morning.

Miles H. Inman died suddenly last Monday morning about 9 o'clock from over exertion or heart trouble. He was in apparent good health and was helping his son, Clyde, and others mow away hay in the barn at his home with his son about two miles north of Thurman. He sat down to rest for a minute and when next noticed he was lying down and life had passed quietly and peacefully away. The funeral services were held at Randolph on Wednesday at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. C. H. Kindig of Thurman. Miles H. Inman was born February 19, 1844 near Parkman Village, Geauga county, Ohio, and passed away June 18, 1917, at the age of 73 years, 3 months and 29 days. At the age of 8 years he moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Inman, to Dane county, Wisconsin. On November 15, 1866, he was married to Maggie Philo of Lakeview, Wisconsin, near which place they made their home until 1870, when he with his family, moved to Fremont county, Iowa, where he has since resided with the exception of one year spent in Nebraska for his wife's health. To this union were born six children, three dying in infancy. The remaining children are Frank D. of Sioux City; Oscar S. of Pacific Junction; and Clyde H. of Thurman, with whom he has made his for the past six years. Mr. Inman lived in Randolph 11 years, where his wife died, January 14, 1908, after a lingering illness of 20 years. Miles, as he was familiarly called, was known by nearly everyone, having bought stock for years in Fremont, Page, and Mills counties. He was loved and honored for his honest and upright dealings and counted his friends by the hundreds. Although he was no affiliated with any church, he has often expressed his faith in the divine being, reading his bible a great deal, often reading it to his little grandsons. Besides his children and grandchildren he leaves to mourn his death four brothers and one sister, namely, Norton of Blanche, Nebraska; M. and M. O. and Mrs. C. H. Fichter of Randolph. After the funeral services, the burial was delayed a few hours to await the arrival of Norton Inman of Blanche, Nebraska, who came on the evening train.
