John R. Vamplew Is Dead
As we travel up and down life's highways we often find hidden away in some remote corner of the land – "like a withered rose leaf between the pages of an old book" – some beautiful characters. In John R. Vamplew we found just such a charater [sic]. ‘The physically incapacitated he was mentally radiant, and the editor of this paper has enjoyed many nice visits from Mr. Vamplew, who often came into our office and talked to us of his lives experiences. He was an inveterate reader of high class literoture [sic] and was an exceptionally well informed man, and the world would be far better off if people could be more intimately associated with and come in closer contact with men like John R. Vamplew.
He was born in England, and his thoughts and his memories took pleasant long vistas down the valley of recollections, but not with staadingthese, [sic] he was a True American, and what greater thing can we say of John Vamplew, or any man.
He's beneath the sod now, and the flowers on his grave, that he should have had while living, will soon wither and die, but his good deeds will live on forever.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to take this opportnnity [sic] to express our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors who so generously assisted burring the illness and death of our friend, John R. Vamplew, also for the beautiful floral offerings.
