Claude Wyeth Fisher was born in Decatur County Iowa, October 10,
1908 and died in Ottumwa, Iowa Aug. 25, 1926 at the age of 17
years, 13 months and 15 days. He leaves to mourn his death his
father, J. A. Fisher, mother, Harriet Fisher, four sisters, Verna
Fisher and Mrs. Clyde Williamson of Chicago, ---- Mabry Fisher
and Helen Maxine of Ottumwa, two brothers, Winford and Karl, also
of Ottumwa, besides a host of relatives and friends. Wyeth was a
splendid pupil and chum and made friends wherever he went by his
ever ready smile. The body was brought to Lineville Friday where

Paul Tallent Received Premiums on Fine Pen of White Rocks
Paul Tallent of this place, who had a fine pen of his pure bred
White Rocks on exhibition at the County Fair at Corydon last
week, won about all the premiums offered by the fair in that
class of exhibits. He won first prize on cockerel, first prize on
pullet and first price on pen. He also received grand sweepstakes
prize on pen, which means they were judged the finest pen of
chickens, of any breed on exhibit at the fair. It goes without
saying these birds were hatched by the Tallent Hatchery of this
place and raised on Tallent mash. But, notwithstanding these
advantages, Paul deserves much credit for their selection and the
scientific manner of their development into prize winners. The
pen was such fine specimens of the breed of chickens, that Paul
was induced by the County Agent to ship them on to Des Moines
where they are now on exhibit at the State Fair and it is hoped
by Paul's many friends here that the pen will receive the
recognition by the hand of the judges at the State Fair which it
is thought they are entitled.

Local Young Lady Gets Degree in Large Class of College
Graduates
Closing a summer's vacation period spent in study and hard work,
instead of play , in order that the children whom she teaches
might have the benefit of better educational advantage, Miss
Libbie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Brown of this
city, has reached another step in the goal of her ambition and
receives her Bachelor of Arts degree on Thursday of this week at
Colorado State Teachers College at Greeley. Miss Brown is a
member of the graduating class of 278 which passes out from
Colorado's professional teacher-training institution with the
close of the big summer school on Thursday. There were 2486
students enrolled in the summer school, most of them teachers,
who like Miss Brown, would rather spend their well earned
vacations in studying and getting more education to the end that
the children in their schools might benefit. With the close of
the summer school the college authorities begin at once
preparations for the opening of the fall quarter. The opening
date is September 28, but under a new regulation all freshmen
entering this year for the first time must report a week earlier
on September 22. In the graduating class of which Miss Brown is a
member there are twenty-three different states represented, and
165 towns and cities in Colorado. Miss Brown is a graduate of the
Colorado State Teachers College high school.
