CEDARVILEE. OHIO, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1902. PRICE $J.,00 A YEAS The Ladies Missionary Society was rtVfJnniaed Dec, 4, 4875, This was in response to a resolution passed1by the General Assembly in 1875 urging the formation of such societies' in every congregation. . The first officer? were! Mrs.' Sarah B. Wallace, president;' Mrs. Eliza Kerr, vice president; Miss Fann ie Nishct, reC. secretary; Miss Xeita Bar­ ker, cor. secretary and Miss Lucy Tar- box, treasurer. - ■ The funds a t first were to be raised by a penny -per day-assessment, but this was afterward changed to read, “a penny per day more pY less,1' In the model constitution which was sub­ mitted by tlie'General Assembly the name included the word, ‘‘Foreign,1” this was rejected by this society and the nex t year* the General Assembly changed the name of the General so­ ciety "to correspond with that chosen by this auxiliary' society. 1In other words this society was’one year ahead of the General society in name a t least. , ‘.a >/ The first reported contribution was made in the spring of 1879, when $31 Was given to,Some Missions and $14 to ministerial relief. The first box sent to the Freedmen was packed Oct 12,1879; and was sent to Knoxville, Tcnn. ■At- th a t’ time there was no 'M is­ sionary Magazine published fyy the General, society,and the lack was met, aud missionary information gained through “The Gospel for All .-Lands’' which was- taken vby the society. • The first thank offering Was made in '1883 ^ and amounted to $3.85' Bince that date the thrtnk offerings have-been regular annual features of the society, bu t not until 1901 were they made in connection with the reg­ ular Sabbath services. The aggre gate of all these offerings up to^ the present has been $543.87; (This is up to April, 1 ,1902 .) On Oofc, 1, 1894 arrangements were made to conduct a Sewing so ciety in connection with,.and!'tinder tb a control of , the Missionary so- ...ciety, b u t of its subsequent his tory nothing is on record, and its fate can easily be conjectured. On September 23, 1895 the’ Sdciety The present J u u ijr Missionary so­ ciety was started by Mrs. J* 0 . War- nock in August, 1893, and was a t first conducted as one class and- were Called “ King’s Daughters,” but were not in connection with the Interna- tional Order of .that name, (Wheth­ er this speiety, was a new one, or -the revival of the old society, the writer' has been unable to determine.)^ • The first officers from the members •were elected , in, October 1894,y but. Mrs. Warhock still continued as their superintendent, TI ub .arrangement ebatinuefr untiT April, 1895," when their name was changed to the pres­ ent one and the superintendent was chosen by thO Women’s Missionary society find'she^waB empowered to se­ lect two or more ieaders'to assist, her in the direction of the societyfand to enable them to separate the members into classes. Mrs. Waruock^was chosen at this time and so continued ns 'superintendent , until Tune, 1897, when she resigned, on account of tier prospective removal from the field. During/the .existence of the present society they 'have contributed to Foreign missions, $36; to Home mis­ sions, , $19; to Freedmen’s missions, $19; to church extension, $ l l ; to ministerial relief, $11; to congrega­ tional work, $1; to Preabyterial ex­ penses, $6.85, making an aggregate of $103.85'which together with their Thank offerring which have been $53.69, making .a grand total, o f $157.54. pledged itself to assist in the support * ■ ■ ■- ■- J * ■ and payment of the salnry o f Miss Bailie E . Dickey, a missionary to India, for the term of seven years, The pledge, which was $70 annually, has been more than met each year, While it expires this year, there is a strong desire to renew the pledge for another term, should Mise Dickey re­ turn to the field. ” • This society has sent eleven boxes and barrels o f clothing to the Freed- men, estimated in value a t $175. I t b»s contributed to Foreign missions $915; to Home missions $428; to Freedmen's missions $243; to church extension, $230; to ministerial relief $136; to Warm Springs Indians $13; to district work- $34; to congregational work, |3 0 ; to Preabyterinl expenses $1130; to the Memorial Hospital, $5; and to the Aged People’s Homo, $5, , making an aggregate of 2119,30, which with the Thank offerings makes I2G62.17 contributed in' money in twenty-six years, or an average .o f & little iver $100 per year of its his­ tory, • While these figures give some idea of what it has accomplished, there is soother result Which Cannot be esti­ mated, and that is the knowledge of the needy mission fields that it has -spread,anilthe interest th a t i t has aroused in -the congregation in the wmk of eVAtlgeliaing the world. The first effort toward starting a ianior Missionary society was. made hy the Women’s society on April 5, ‘ fbe matter was taken under BaHwlemiion and no fm therrecord is anwcofli until 1885 when twenty* ■"to iitemW were reported together wuh a contribution o f $17, and again I* 11*86when their contribution was ***• After this date there k ne iur* iker notice of it and ft passed nu t o f FAMILYHISTORY. Mr, Janies Finney Stewart, of Yellow Springs,.0 ., has in bisposses- sirih, a valuable book, to those inter­ ested, and a curiosity to -the- Demo­ cratic American. ' ’* ‘.I t is a .genealogical record of his lather’s family, tracing them back to; the ancestor from which spruug, the Royal House of S tuart and that long line of Kings and Queens, ending in Edward V II, King o f England. History says Alan, son of Flahald, a Norman, accompanied the conqueror into England, A. D ., 1066, Obtaining by his gift the lands and castle Of Owestry, in Shropshire. .Alan’s eldest son, William, is the ancestor o f the, Dukeo f Norfolk. Alan’s second son, Walter, passed into Scotland, entered the service of David I , os lasjteward, and received from him large possessions and the title of Baron of Renfrew, which is one o f the many titles "inher­ ited by King Edward V II. Tho of­ fice of steward became hereditary in the family and was assumed by them as a surname, the Gaelic word mean­ ing the Lord. High, or the High Lord or the lord next to the king in power. The orthography of the .name -was changed by Mary Queen o f Septs when she'refuriied from France tu rn iug up her pretty nose a t -everything Scotch and introducing FrOnce man­ ners arid customs. She used the French spelling, to which she had been accustomed. The French alpha­ bet had no w. This spelling1 was adopted by many classmen, especially those who adhered to the Church of Borne. F o r seven generations the Steward­ ship of Scotland descended without a break from father to son, Walter, the sixth Steward, married Marjory, daughter o f Hubert Bi'lloe, and their sou, the seventh Steward o f Scotland, ascended the throne On the death of; David I I , taking the title of Robert I I and by marriage or descent, we find his descendants on almost every throne o f Europe, I n the seventeenth century, a Scotch Covenanter,"Jobh Stewart, fied from Scotland to County Down, Ireland, to escape penalties incurred for non-compliance with Royal edicts respecting religious worship. In 1735 his two grandsons, Hugh and Samuel, came to America settling in Lancaster county, Province o f Penn­ sylvania. Samuel’s fourth son Elijah was a soldier o f the Revolution, a member o f Capt. Jas, Cowdeu’s com­ pany. He died in 1807, and his widow moved to Ohio with her fam* ily, where their descendants settled In ButldT, Clark and Hamilton counties. The oldest child Sarah, married James Finney, Their grandchildren with their families are now living near Clifton, Ohio, The seventh child, James, also set­ tled near Clifton and is the father of dames Finney Stewart of Yellow Springs, David of Clifton, Mrs. Tor- renoe find Mit* J&t&s and grandfather to Mrs* Cargill Mor­ ion, «• ' LECTURE COURSE.

' ^ A novel way to exterminate beds and bedclothingjif those things not absolutely essential to the welfare and comfort Of the occupant dame to light last Monday evening when’ th e ' fire department was called to, the home of John Strowb'ridge, who resides'in one of the Mitchell houses on “Saw Dust”' avenue. I t is the, supposition of the department that, gasoline had been freely. Used about two of the bedB in a down Stairs room and tha t when a, lighted lamp was token into the room' there was an explosion, which result, ed in the bedclothing being all aflame in a few seconds. There are few rec-‘ ords of two beds being afire in one room at the same time and ‘the. boys had considerable sport over the call out. Whether the gasoline had the intended effect or not is presumed that “ buggy” had a warm reception for a few moments a t least. ■ . Isaac Weymouth, well known in this place, committed suicide last Sat­ urday night in Haiton’s lumber yard at Springfield, his body being found after death-bad resulted several hours . previously. The body after being cut. down from itB'hanging place wastak* en to Coroner Bennett’s office where it remained until Mrs, Lydia Wey- . mouth, the mother, came to direct the burial' Weymouth was 44 years’ of age and married, hia wife and he had been' separated for a-number ot .' ; years. He-was seen on the street in,' Springfield Saturday morning by , Mr. George Boyd of this place. A t tlto i meeting Weymouth incidentally fe* . ' marked that it was ju st nineteen yehre ‘ ago that day that he killed. Marshal John Harris for attempting' his arrest. There were no eye witnesses £p the af­ fair and the accused was cleared after a hard legal- battle, About two years ago Isaac threat­ ened to kill.hi? mother and burn her home and did destroy -•some of hey , household furniture. To protect her­ self she swCre out a peace w a rran t,1 which caused his arrest, he being un- ■' able to give bond and was sent to the county jail for nearly a year.( H e ' >. was given his liberty; provided ,he would leave the county. This he aid , anc^went to Springfield, where he ge; . cured employment in the Hatton sayr mill and of late Isaac had full charge of the plant. , I t is supposed' that the killing of Marshal Harris and the death- of his, only daughter last summer in an dsy*-. turn a t Columbus were -the means of bis losing,his mind. He had'been drinking heavily for several days pre^ vious to the time of hauging. The funeral was held from hia mother's .residence Tuesday morhing, " the exercises being conducted by Rev. . F . O.
