In Memoriam.
? Mrs. A. Ballard is in receipt of the
id news that her nephew, Walter Smiley,
was quite badly injured, recently,
U Pipestone City, Minn., by an overzealous
officer of the law. The young
lan, sixteen years of age, is the son of
Irs. Ada Larrowe Smiley, a former
resident of this village. He was sleepig
in an unoccupied house at the reluest
of the owner. A i>assing neighbor
|k*e a light in the house, and knowing it
be untenanted, notified an officer,
with a deputy and the informant,
seeded to investigate. In the mean
tiime the young man had retired. The
ptarty climed into a window, and while
Looking about, Walter fired a revolver
t o frighten them away. The officer returned
the.shot, and the boy becoming
frightened jumped through a window,
the sheriff firing at him as he jumped,
the ball taking effect in the thigh. He
was also badly cut by the window-glass,
and in his fright he ran into a barbedwire!
fence. It was some time before
he ccould gain admittance to any of the
neighboring houses. He suffered jjreatly
k'rom the shock and loss of blood, but]
his/ recovery is confidently looked for. |
It was a serious matter, and the only
explanation offered in defense of the of-1
frjeer's hasty action is that the locality
b/ad been infested by tramps.
PHOEBE CASTEBLINE HOBB.
Again death has entered our quiet village
and another has passed from earth
to heavenly rest.
Mrs. Phcebe Horr, whose death was
briefly noticed in the HERALD last week,
died at her home June 10th, 1891, of
pneumonia, in the @2d year of her age.
Mrs. Horr was next to the youngest of a
family of twelve children, and in the
early years of her childhood came from
Wantage, Sussex county, N. J., with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Phineas Casterline,
who were among the early settlers
of Pulteney. Here she resided until
her marriage with W. W. Horr, of
Prattsburgh, who, with his daughter,
three brothers and three sisters, are left
to mourn their loss. Mrs. Horr was
hopefully converted in budding womanhood,
and has ever lived an earnest,
Christian life, having been a member of
the Baptist church over forty years.
She was possessed of a quiet, retiring
disposition, and naught but intimacy
could reveal her real worth. Her last
hours were cheered*by a revelation
which assured her that she was about to
enter upon a better and brighter heritage
than any earthly power could give
and though her husband, brothers and
sisters deeply mourn their loss, they do
not mourn as those who have no hope.
The funeral was observed at her late
residence Friday afternoon. The services
were conducted by the Rev. C
Townsend, whose remarks were especially
appropriate and affecting. The
music was beautifully and tenderly rendered
by the M. E, choir. As we gathered
around her casket we could but
think of the beautiful promise: "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things;
enter thou into the joys of thy Lord."
