S. went to the latter place with her for turkey. (5 Dec 1901)-Judge BATTERSON has received a letter from our former townsman, O. J. BELL, now a resident of Seattle, in which he sends kind regards to old friends here, whom he would like to see again. He likes that country and its climate, and enclosed a rosebud to show that flowers were yet in bloom, and the lawns are yet perfect. He often meets our Grayling people who are there and reports them all prosperous. A BRINK has bought a five acre lot near Everett, connected with Seattle by electric cars, and will move there to begin farming in the spring. O. J. and his wife would receive a rousing welcome if they would drop in on us. He does not advise anyone to move there if they have not means enough to last a year or so, until they can get established, and then says they need plenty of sand, and must not long remain a "tenderfoot."

-At Anderson, Indiana, Wednesday December 4th., of Typhoid Fever, Winfield L. EICKHOFF, aged 23 yrs, and 11 months.
Winfield Louis EICKHOFF was born in Grove, Allegany County, N. Y., Dec. 4th., 1877. He came with his parents to Michigan, who soon after settled in Grayling, in 1892. He united with the Protestant Methodist Church when twelve years of age, and with the M. E. Church, by letter, in 1892, of which he remained a loyal faithful member. Wherever he was he identified himself with the church interest, being prominent in all church work. He loved the Sunday School, the prayer meeting, class meeting, Epworth League and the Young Men's Christian Association, and was highly esteemed on account of his pure life, his manly christian character, and his activity in all their helpful work. He was a member of the graduating class of the Grayling High School of 1897. He also graduated from the Bliss Business College of Flint, Michigan, last June. Soon after he accepted a position as instructor in the Bliss Business University, in Anderson, Indiana. He had found his chosen work and was putting his whole heart in it, and was hopeful and ambitious for the future, and was growing in the esteem of all connected with the University, when death found him, and The Lord Jesus took him to his eternal home. The saddest feature was that his father, mother, sister and brother, and the christian young lady to whom God had united him in unity of heart, could not be present to comfort him in this final struggle.
He leaves to mourn his departure, his father and mother, Charles and Fannie E. EICKHOFF; grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth N. DEREICH; a sister, Mrs. Henrietta E. TAYLOR, wife of Rev. S. G. TAYLOR, of Vernon, Mich., a brother, Arlington J. EICKHOFF, instructor in the state school for the Deaf and Dumb, at Flint, Mich., Mrs. Catharine M. SCHLENK, of Buffalo, N. Y., and Miss Grace EDDY, of Flint, Mich., all of whom were present at the funeral, which was held at the M. E. church, in Grayling, December 8th., and Rev. Howard C. GOLDIE, the pastor, preached the sermon. (5 Dec 1901)
