Cal., being called home suddenly on account of the sickness of
Mother Flanders.

J.E. ROGERS began his duties as night watch last Thursday night,
and no doubt we all go off to sleep with a greater sense of
security than heretofore. Of course the night watch does not
sleep, for we have a little detector in the shape of a
patrolman's clock that gives him away. The clock was obtained
through Mr. HICKS, our jeweler, and is a little model, of the
Seth Thomas make. It is located at BRIMHALL's drug store where
Mr. ROGERS is required to register every hour.

Last Saturday evening Mr. J. B. Harris, Sr., familiarly known to
our people as "Grandpa Harris," was taken suddenly sick
and from that time on he kept failing until early yesterday
morning when he quietly passed away. It hardly seems possible as
he was about town during the day on Saturday, and only a day or
so before called at this office for a friendly chat. We shall
give a more extended account of this man's life next week.

Obituary - Joseph B. Harris, Sr.
Joseph B. Harris, Sr., was born in Birmingham, England, May 2,
1813, where he resided until 1841, when he set out to try his
fortune in the new world. After a long and tedious voyage of four
weeks and three days, he landed at New Orleans, and after a short
stay here, went to Lexington, Kentucky, where he set out in
business as a "bell hanger, locksmith and
bandage-maker". After a residence here of eleven years he
removed to Mercer county, Illinois, and twenty years later to Sac
county, Iowa, where he resided until his decease, Nov. 8, 1893.
Father Harris was married to Kate V. Pritchett, Oct. 27, 1845, at
St. Louis, Mo., and it was but thirteen days from the time they
celebrated their forty-eight anniversary, that he was called from
this earthly home. He leaves an aged widow (Mother Harris,
eighty-two years old), and two sons, Jas. and Jos. B., jr., with
their families of Schaller, Iowa, who were all present with him
in his last sickness, and sorrowfully witnessed the demise of
their beloved father. One son, Edward B., was killed in the late
war, and another dying in infancy.
The funeral was held from the late residence on Dundas street, at
10 o'clock a.m. Thursday, and perhaps no fact could have
demonstrated the estimation in which this man was held by the
people among whom he had lived so long, as his burial service and
the attendance thereon. Rev. Macquarrie, of the Presbyterian
church, officiated, and his words of comfort and eulogy were
touchingly appropriate.
To the family is extended by all our people a wealth of hearty
sympathy, and especially to her, who will in a certain sense,
walk alone, until for her the gates shall also one day open.

--F.M. McLAUGHLIN has so far recovered from his recent sickness
as to be able to sit up. We are glad to make this announcement,
and hope 'ere long to see him at business again. He has put
through a serious siege of it though.
--Rev. A. BROWN was in town between trains Monday afternoon. It
seemed quite natural to see him about the streets. He reports all
well pleased with their new home-Kingsley, yet they have a kindly
feeling toward Schaller, so long their home. The Herald is a
regularly welcomed visitor now, and will tell them of happenings
in the old home.

Obituary - Adam Hartman
Adam Hartman was born in Hanover, Germany, Feb. 21, 1831, and
died at his home in Eden township, Sac county, Iowa, Nov. 24,
1893, aged 62 years, 9 months and 3 days.
He was married in the year 1852 to Miss Louisa Reller, to whom
were born four children. She died Dec. 25, 1860, soon after
followed by the youngest child.
July 22, 1861, he married Miss Marie Barley, of Scioto county,
Ohio, to whom were born eleven children, making fourteen living
children, who, with the widow, mourns the loss of a loving father
and husband. He was confirmed in youth in the Lutheran church.
Coming to America at the age of seventeen, he was soon after
converted. Uniting with the United Brethern [sic], of which
church he was still a member, until seventeen years ago, when he
joined the German M. E. church. After his conversion he was happy
in Jesus, his soul often overflowing with joy and gratitude, he
has ever served the Lord and lived a faithful christian life,
holding the office of Sunday school superintendent for a number
of years. He was also a local preacher, serving earnestly and
efficiently in the various offices. Two years ago he severed his
connections with the German M. E. church, uniting with the
English M. E. church, of Schaller.
In health the Lord was his strength; and in his last long and
severe illness He forsook him not. His last audible words were,
"Jesus thou hast redeemed me." Peacefully, like a babe
going to sleep on his mother's breast he passed away, from this
land of hopes and faith to a field of blessed immortality,
trusting in Jesus in life and in death, and now wearing the crown
of the redeemed hosts in heaven. Yes, the crown of everlasting
life.
