DANIEL ARNET RAWLINGS

Our pretty Riverside cemetery is fast gathering to its bosom our older and well-known citizens. Friday, June 9th, the body of Mr. Arnet Rawlings was brought home from Indianapolis to be laid to rest there.

Daniel Arnet Rawlings was born near Bloomington, Indiana, August 8, 1859, the son of Thomas and Emily Rawlings. He passed his childhood in the quiet home neighborhood, later going to Iowa. where as a clerk he assisted his uncle, Daniel Browning, in merchantile business. He came back to Spencer for his bride and on April 3, 1888, married Amy, eldest daughter of Dr. M. G. and Rebecca Allen Mullinix, prominent people of the town. Later returning to Spencer for a permanent home, Mr. Rawlings was long an employee in the old firm of Green & Egner, until his health demanded an out-door life. His three children were most tenderly loved by this devoted father. Mary, who died in infancy, and Maston with his twin sister, Marjory, now Mrs. C W. Swift, of Indianapolis. When Mrs. Rawlings in the first deadly influenza year, was called to care for her sister's motherless family, Mr. Rawlings preferred to remain in Spencer with his business and his old friends, to whom he was very loyal; but last March, failing decidedly in health. he yielded to the oft-repeated requests of his family to join them in Indianapolis. His last weeks, when he was slowly sinking under pernicious aenemia, were gladdened by the constant care and presence of his three best-loved ones, and his new delight, the little grandson, Bobby.

Mr. Rawlings united with the M. E. Church in Iowa, in his early youth, and held its faith in his heart thru-out his life. In his last suffering days he was eager to depart and would say to his wife, "I will not he here long. I hope Jesus will take me soon." And so he has slipped away, this quiet, patient, unassuming man, of whom no one who knew him, would say anything but kind words. We shall miss and not soon forget him.

The funeral services were held in the Christian Church; conducted by Rev. C. H. De Voe of Zionsville, a former pastor of the church in this city.

JOHN THOMAS LUCK

John Thomas Luck was born in Madison, Indiana, in 1842, the son of English parents, Jacob and Louise Luck, who first settled in Baltimore. He was the devoted brother of Mrs. Elizabeth Morgan, and often came to Spencer, where he was a welcome visitor in the home of his favorite niece, Mrs. Stella Drescher.

He entered the struggle of the civil war at seventeen in company with his father. For many years afterward he was a photographer, traveling on the Ohio river. He ministered to his mother in her declining days with all the tenderness of a woman. His last years were spent at the soldiers home in Marion, Indiana, and in that at Hampden, Virginia. He had fine physical health and strength; a young, exuberant spirit, habits of industry and helpfulness, a kind and loving heart. We lay this sincere, sympathetic good man to rest beside his sister, Elizabeth, to sleep the years away, until the ressurrection (sic) morning breaks over this beautiful God's acre.

Tbe remains were brought here Sunday evening and brief services were conducted at Riverside cemetery by Rev. Lewis A. Kelly, pastor of the Presbyterian church.

Found Old Revolver

Saturday afternoon Sheriff McCarty received a hurry-up call to come to Quincy, and he expected some one had been held up or had fund a "mule stall", but when he arrived there he found that an old rusty revolver had been found near the place were (sic) Mills was killed about fifteen years ago.

The revolver was a .38, and probably the revolver that was used in killing Mills. It was very rusty and had no loads in it.

If this revolver had been found before the Mills trial it likely would have been a big factor in the trial.

The guests were James Baugh and wife of Spencer, Guy McCown, wife and two daughters, Jane and Julia, George Matson and Jack Baugh of Ellettsville, Roscoe Allen and Theresa Hawkins of Stinesville, Wayne Phillips and wife of Terre Haute.

Garage Burned

Fire of unknown origin destroyed the garage on the Mike Need farm 6 miles west of Spencer Wednesday evening and burned up a Chevrolet one ton truck. The fire was discovered about 6:30 p.m. and had gained such headway that it was impossible to save either the truck or the building. A nearby small barn was saved only by heroic work. The truck was comparatively new, having been bought last September. The loss was partly covered by insurance.
