Her success was as marked as her life was busy. But few men in the county are more able agriculturists than Miss Anken was, nor do they take greater interest in everything that tends to promote better farming conditions than she did.

Aside from her busy business life, Miss Anken was a most agreeable woman to meet. Her manner was pleasing and gracious, her mind was well stored with many interesting things and she was a very pleasing conversationalist. Her acquaintance was large and many people today, both in Western and for miles around, are deeply grieved to know that Miss Anken will be among in life no more.

R. Aucutt, in her 30th year .(could be 80th as the print was not too good but I think 30) She was the only daughter of J. O. & E. E. Bushnell. The funeral obsequies were held at Rock Prairie school house on Tuesday last as 11 o'clock. The esteem in which she was held may be inferred from the large attendance at the services. Thirty-five conveyances were counted on the way to the cemetery. She was among the happy converts during the harvest revival held in that school house nearly two years ago. The scripture employed as text by the pastor, Rev. G. W. Brindell, was selected by the sufferer some days before her departure, from Psalms cxvi 15: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints". There were few dry eyes in that crowded audience during the delivery of the discourse.

Lee Center - Jacob Austin, whose death occurred on the 1st instant, was a sufferer from a long and painful illness. Dr. Fraser, who had charge of the case, says the disease is of very rare occurrance, and is known as glosso labio laryngeal paralysis. He added that Dr. Hammond said it so rarely occurred that a physician was not likely to have more than one case in his lifetime. The funeral was held in the M. E. Church last Thursday afternoon. Rev. H. A. Harris preached from the words of the Saviour to His disciples: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." He leaves a widow and a brother Gardiner Austin, of Boonville.
