Married
Mr. George W. Janes of this place and Mrs. Laura A. Stalter of Wichita were married at Fairview by Rev. H. Alva Fletcher on last Wednesday. The groom is 74 and is an old resident of Cleo. The bride is younger and comes well recommended. She came to Cleo three weeks ago and it was here she first met Mr. Janes. Rev. and Mrs. Fletcher entertained them at their home in Fairview during their stay there and the next day they returned to Cleo and they are now nicely established in one of the groom's cottages in town. We offer hearty congratulations.

"Geo. W. Janes
George W. Janes was born in Virginia, in March, 1830, and died Monday, February 16th, at the home of J. G. Ford, his death being caused by a paralytic stroke and old age.
He had been a member of the Methodist church for sixty-four years, having been converted when he was twenty years of age.
He is survived by two sons and two daughters, neither of them being present at the funeral.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Clarke, at the Methodist church in Cleo, and interment was made in the Cleo cemetery."

George W. Janes was born in West Virginia in 1830 and if he had lived until next month he would have been 84 years old. He has four living children, but none of them were with him at the time of this death, nor was any of them present at the funeral. They seemed to have deserted him in his old age and he was left in his almost helpless condition to the care of strangers and friends. He died at the home of Mr. Ford near Fairview, where for several months he had been making his home, an object of charity and public bounty. He had two faithful and steadfast friends in this country - that God fearing man, Rev. John H. Clarke, pastor of the M. E. Church at Fairview, was on of them, and John H. Lyons of this community was the other. Rev. Clarke and wife came up through the storm from Fairview to conduct the funeral ceremonies. Rev. Clarke's sermon was full of pathos and touched the hearts of the few who gathered at the Methodist church of this place to pay their last respects to one they had known so many years. In his discourse he said: "There is one thing that can be said of Bro. Janes: He was honest and industrious and that he died a Christian." He said he had promised Grandpa Janes that he would see that he was given a decent burial and that he would preach his funeral and that he had intended to see that this was done if he had to bear all the expense himself. It shows what a good big heart beats in the bosom of John H. Clarke. Such deeds are recorded in the Book of Life. John H. Lyons looked after the arrangements for the funeral at this end and saw to it that every detail was arranged. The poor old man had received many kindnesses at the hands of Mr. Lyons in his closing years, and next to Rev. Clarke and wife, John H. Lyons came next in his affections. They are to be commended for these kind and generous deed. George W. Janes and family were early settlers here at Cleo. Mother Janes died several years ago and lies buried in the Cleo cemetery and Grandpa Janes now sleeps by her side, which was his wish. He had been a member of the Methodist church for more than 60 years and died in the same blessed faith.
