Tbe subject of this sketch passed
away at ber bome near Herrick, Nov.
j 16, 1915. Emily McCroasen waa born
on a farm in Highland, Micb. Oct. 10,
1348. She wae married to Milo Lamphere Nov. 24, 1S68. Four, children,
were born to this union. Amelia, wbo
died in infancy, Charles, Frank aad
Fred, who are still living. Their
bome was in Milford, Mich, for 27
years, after wbich they moved to the
homestead near Herrick. Mr. Lamphere passed away Feb. 20, 1912.
June 30, 1913 she was married to
George Chester of Herrick who survives her. Sbe joined the Methodist
Church early in life and bas always
been a faithful member.
Tbe funeral Borvices were held at
tbe Herrick M. E. Church laat week
Thursday at 1 p. m-, Rev. S. W.
Large officiating. The interment waa
at Cherry Grove cemetery.
The entertainment very generously
i given by Manager McKerring on
j Monday evening for tbe benefit of the
Boy Scouts was very fine and appropriate for such an occasion aud j
worthy of a more extended mention j
than we are able to give it tbis week.
It gave one quite a clear idea of tbe
organization, tbe work it is attempting to do and tbe source from wbicb
some of its membership comes. People are rescued from drowning and
resuscitated and the matter of "first
aid" illustrated. The speedy way in
which a stretcher is improvised by
drawing two or tbree sweaters over
two of the starts was interesting indeed.
To illustrate the practical nature of
the scout work, "Tom," a city tcugb
boy, is induced to join and is reformed thereby. Mr. Temple, a
haughty arrogant citizen who sneero
at the movement first, finally receives such substantial proofs of its
worth that he pr'a-."":.. the local organization T.itb a fine mansion for

each member gave a brief description
of some fruit, flower or bird of the
