George Shearer was born at Mapleton, Stark county, Ohio, April 23, 1836, and peacefully fell asleep at his home in Bunker Hill, Kansas, at the close of a beautiful day, March 4th, 1921, after a lingering illness incident to old age. He grew to young manhood at his his home, then entered the mercantile business at Waynsburg, 0., where he was married to Matilda Netz, who survives him, in 1860. To this union were born eight children, three of whom died while in infancy. The remaing children, John Lincoln of Iola, Kansas; Edward Richard of Bunker Hill, Emma Frances Eyler of Dorrance; Adda Mary Warthen of Webb City, and Minnie Campbell of Bunkerhill were all present at the time of his death. He served his country as a volunteer with honor during the great Civil War and was ever very proud of the part he.

played in that great struggle. He joined the Lutheran church in his early youth and remained a faithful and ardent member. He emigrated to Bunker Hill in 1878, and with the exception of one year, while giving his children the advantages of a better education, this has been his home. About twelve years ago he suffered an attack of blood poisoning and his life was despaired of, but thru God's mercy he was spared to his family. Yet he suffered from the effects of this attack during the remaining years of his life.

Through all these years he has been a most patient sufferer. No word of complaint was ever heard to fall from his lips. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, five children, eighteen grand children, and six great-grand children. Thus passed a life full of aches and pains, yet what derful heritage he leaves -a life of smiles, a life so full of faith, and hope, ever looking beyond to the rest promised the faithful. Short services were held at the home, Sunday afternoon, March 6th.

The basket ball season closed here Tuesday night with a double header between the boys and girls teams of the Bunker Hill and Lucas high schools. Lucas took both games, our boys being beaten 51 to 21 and our girls 34 to 11. The boys have won five out of games played this season. They beat Waldo, Luray(2), Russell Freshmen and Kanopolis. They lost to Covert.

Wilson (2), Lucas(2), Russell (2) and Sylvan Grove(2). The girls played six games and lost all but one with Luray. With a good coach next year Buuker Hill should have a winning team. A story to the effect that both Lucas and Bunker Hill teams were unduly influenced by the sports at the game Tuesday night is not generally believed. But the bare rumor of crooked playing will kill the game here or anywhere.

The boys go to Salina for the tournament tomorrow. Alumni Meeting! The annual meeting of the Bunker Hill High School Alumni will be held at the school house, Monday ight, March 21th. H. E. Fairchild, Pres.
