Married- On Tuesday evening, at the home of the
bride's parents, August Seakman and Anne Marten. A number of the
relatives and friends were present and a very enjoyable time is
reported.
Matt. J. Cox, a Sac City man who was convicted and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary, from Sioux City, for a crime no
one believes he committed, was pardoned by Gov. Drake last week
Wednesday. His was a worthy case.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gibbins wish to return their thanks to their
friends, who so kindly assisted them during the sickness of
little Inez, and also to those who showed their sympathy by
attending the funeral and especially to the singers from
Schaller.

Obituary
The pleasant home, of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gibbins six miles
south of Schaller, was made very sad and gloomy, by the death of
their bright and interesting little girl Inez, two and a half
years old, on Saturday at 10 A. M., March 7th 1896.
She has gone, and left heavy hearts behind her, but the stricken
ones have the tender sympathy of many friends, and after a
little, this will help to lift the cloud that now hangs so heavy
about them.
We are never quite ready for the reaper, but we do not question
so much when the old are taken, for we know their weary feet need
rest; but when the dear eager children go through we bow in
submission, our human hearts sometimes cry out in anguish,
"Why O Father! must the tender flowers be taken?" He
knoweth best. At such at time, dark indeed must be the way before
those who cannot feel that the ever-lasting arms have been held
out to receive these little ones, who have left our embrace so
empty. Black in deed must be the clouds that wrap the lives of
those, who cannot believe with Longfellow:
"There is no Death! What seems so is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
She is not dead,--the child of our affection,--
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives, whom we call dead.
We do believe, and though with tears and pain, we laid the body
of little Inez under the velvet sod, yet with the eye of faith
and love we look beyond, and see her bright spirit, in the great
cloister, "safe from sin's pollution" "by guardian
angels led."

hands while tearing off her burning clothing. The girl's right
arm and both hips were burned deeply and fully a third of the
