with christian fortitude.

county with her husband thirty-seven years ago, locating on a farm near
Seney, where she has since made her home. Her husband died about twenty-five
years ago. She is survived by four sons and one daughter and all were at her
bedside when she passed away. The surviving children are Mrs. John Trigg, of

M. A. Moore, of LeMars, was a business caller here last Thursday.

Grandma Reeves passed away last Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock,
after a lingering illness.  Caroline Sivyer was born in Sander, Kent,
England, February 26, 1823, and died at the home of her youngest son,
June 30, 1906, being at the time of her death 83 years, 4 months and 4
days.  She was married in England to John Reeves, and spent several
years of her early married life there.  In 1853 with her husband and
family she immigrated to the United States settling first in Kane
county, Illinois.  In September 1869 they moved west stopping in
Plymouth county, Iowa.  They homesteaded the farm now known as the Engle
farm.  Here they made their home for a number of years.  To them were
born 9 children, five of whom survive their mother; Mrs. Martha Trigg,
the only daughter and four sons, Arthur, Robert, George, and John, all of whom were
present at the time of her death. Mr. Reeves died on the homestead in
1881 since which time she has made her home with some of her children.
She united with the M.E. church when young and always lived a consistent
Christian life and a short time before her death made the statement
that, “All was well and she was ready to go.”  As a pioneer of our
country she knew by experience the hardships and struggles of that time
but in spite of trials and troubles of her own she was ready to lend a
helping hand to those who needed   and many a sick bed was eased and
comforted by her presence and kindness.  Besides her five children she
leaves twenty-one grandchildren and twenty-two great grandchildren and a
host of friends to mourn her loss but we do not sorrow as those without
hope as our loss is her gain.  The funeral services were held in the
church Monday p.m. 2:30 o'clock.  The remains were laid to rest by those
of her husband in the Seney cemetery.  Those that mourn have the
sympathy of the entire community.

Seibald Harms, one of Grant's best men was after twine Tuesday and expects

In reading of the large number of foreigners who are still pouring into this
country one would hardly think labor would be as hard to get as it is at
present. What is the reason? Is it not a fact that most of the immigration
goes into the large cities where it is not needed and so little gets in the
country where it is wanted. Iowa and the Dakotas will need thousands of
laborers right now.

We know of farmers in Plymouth county farmers who are compelled to do
