Katherine J. Sights was born July 16, 1832 at Liberty, Guernsey Co, Ohio. With her parents she moved to Keokuk, Iowa in 1853 when she was 21 years old. Four years later in 1857 she was united in marriage to J. C.

Adams. To this union six children were born. In 1869 with her husband and children she moved to Worth county, Missouri, and in 1888 the family moved to Plainville, Kans. Here she lived until her death which occurred July 12, 1917. Had she lived 5 more days she would have been 85 years old.

Her husband J. C. Adams survives her. Before her death they hid passed the 60th anniversary of their marriage. Four of the six children are livingWilbur M.

Adams of Luray, Mrs. Alma Maulding, of Idaho City, Idaho, Harry L. Adams of Codell Kans and Edgar C. Adams of Plainville, Kans. She has 30 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren.

On Sunday, July 8 she took suddenly ill and never fully regained consciousness. Her precious body worn with the toil of the years soon reached the end of its strength and death was inevitable. When she was summoged to go she was faithfully caring for her aged and helpless companion. Thus through her long life she was toiling and serving-serving God, serving humanity. She was converted when but 16 years of age and joined the Methodist church.

She lived a true and useful Christian life and was ready when the call came. She was 69 years a member of the church. Truly hers was a remarkable record. Servant of God, well done Thy glorious warfare's past The battle's fought, the race is won. And thou art crowned at last.

Hutchings of the Second division of the district court, upon application of P. W. Goebel, trustee for the note holders. The transaction involves $693,000. The railroad is a stretch of 87 miles of track, connecting Salina, Lincoln, and Osborne.

It was completed in November, 1916, by the Keystone Construction company, at a cost of nearly $700,000 above the $1,500,000 in bonds issued. The money for its completion was borrowed from a syndicate of Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, Salina, Tipton and Beloit! business men. The road will be sold July 23. The corporations were represented in the suit by E. S.

McAnany. Justin D. Bowersock as attorney for Mr. Goebel. This speedy action came as a surprise to many of the local people interested in the Salina Northern.

As all the stock is held outside the syndicate, the sale of the collateral means the sale of the road. It is believed by some that Mr. Goebel intends to buy the road for the syndicate, but some of the big railroad companies may jump in. The City of Salina has sold the bonds it issued to aid the road, and hence is not Union Monday. TURKVILLE GLEAMINGS.
