Frog l'ond.
We note that "D. H. M." writing
from Frog Tond gives what he supposed
to be the origin of the name of this
place. Well! Wo will give him credit
for doing very well with his off-hand stab
but the name was here years before the
time mentioned in that article. Old
Uncle John Kruse, John Hamilton, Jo
seph Barstow and Warren Corby were
in davs loni? nast the nroorietora and
sole owners of what was then and is yet
the heart of this beautilul community
called Frog Pond.
John Hamilton and Joseph Barstow
wished their north and south line run
and employed R. V. Short, the only
man hereabout that owned a compass
and chain, to survey it for them, they
acting as axmen, while Warren Oorby
and John Kruse acted as chainmen.
When n bout 43 chains north of Emerton
Woodruffs donation land claim they
were working their way through an un
usually marshy place and the frogs kept
up ouch a din that the chain had to be
shortened half so that the words "stick,"
"stuck" could be heard. Stopping on
lot; at the ;above named place to take
lunch the entire crew were made most
frantic by croakings. Emerson Wood
ruff, acting as flagman, beat the water
with a pole to quiet the mob, and R. V.
Short remarked as a lull came alter a
pole beat, " W ell, boys, we had better
get out ot this irog pona Detore tnose
Frenchmen get my instrument befuddled
so I can't understand it."
They lined on the north side of Ham
ilton and Barstow's claims and there
took a gaze at the sun through a bottle
to see that all was well, then John
Kruse, in his own characteristic way
said, "Boys, we have at last surveyed
through rrog Pond! 1

Obituary.
Freddie Heinz died at this place Feb.
7tb. He was the son of L. Heinz, and
was the third member of the family to
pass away since last May. We extond
sympathy to the relatives.
The cold hand of the angel of Death
How sadly it seems to fall
And plucks the spirit of our loved ones
Whenever the Savior calls.
Last May, Lewis, an older brother,
Was the farst to be called away.
The angel whispered the next "Mother
Will soon follow to the land ot rest.'
Now so soon, another to be led
By this angel's icy hand,
Ah ! yes, ihis time it fell upon Fred,
And now he, too, sleeps beneath the sod.
We have to drink from sorrow's bitter
cup.
And it always seems filled to the brim.
We must have courage ; never give up,
But try the harder onr mission to filL
While this busy world rolls steadily on
It never stops for sorrow or woe.
It never weeps for those that are gone
But remains the same al? through.
Friends, to you this burden is hard to
bear,
And trouble is always a heavy load.
Go to the Savior In "fervent prayer.
He will assist you, and brighten your
way.
A Friend. .
