OBITUARY
ELIZABETH F. VIELEY
ELIZABETH F. VIELEY died in Lizton at the home of her daughter, Mary E. LEACHMAN,
Saturday, 27 October at the age
of eighty years and eleven days. She was the oldest daughter of Wm. and Eliza LEAK. At the
age of seven years she,
with her parents, moved from Kentucky to a farm near Lizton where Lizton now stands. Her
entire life was spent in
this community. The country then was almost unbroken forest. She has pleased her children
and grandchildren with
her many stories and thrilling experiences of her early days in the wilderness. Later when
the town of Lizton was
laid out it was named in honor of her.
At the age of fifteen she was married to Jesse VIELEY. To this union were born seven
children two of whom still
survive her- Mary E. LEACHMAN of Lizton and Anna R. ADAMS of Indianapolis. She also leaves
one sister, Mrs. Sarah
J. HILL of Indianapolis. For twenty-seven years she was a lonely widow. Twenty-two years
ago she began making her
home with her two daughters and each have tried to excel the other in their kindness to
her. It was always a
pleasure to them to do something for mother. When she came into the home she brought
sunshine and happiness with
her.
At the age of twenty years she became a member of the Christian church, through out her
life she was a sincere
chris - christian (sic) showing her faith in her daily walk and conversation. In the
presence of her family, in
her acts of charity, in the constant submission to the will of her creator, in her
returning good for evil, in her
faith, her virtue and patience. In all of which she abounded, she gave constant evidence
of the faith within her.
Let us hope that this noble character will be as a bright star to guide us all in her
pathways. Funeral services
were held at the Lizton Christian church by Rev. L.L. CARPENTER. Interment in VIELEY
cemetery.

She was a loving and faithful wife and mother, a kind and affectionate daughter. She
leaves a husband, two small
children, father, mother, nine sisters and five brothers, and a host of friends to mourn
her loss.
**Information about Typhoid Fever: Salmonella Typhi lives only in humans. Persons with
typhoid fever carry the
bacteria in their bloodstream and intestinal tract. In addition, a small number of
persons, called carriers,
recover from typhoid fever but continue to carry the bacteria. Both ill persons and
carriers shed S. Typhi in
their feces (stool).
You can get typhoid fever if you eat food or drink beverages that have been handled
by a person who is
shedding S. Typhi or if sewage contaminated with S. Typhi bacteria gets into the water you
use for drinking or
washing food.
Therefore, typhoid fever is more common in areas of the world where hand washing is
less frequent and water
is likely to be contaminated with sewage.
Once S. Typhi bacteria are eaten or drunk, they multiply and spread into the
bloodstream. The body reacts
with fever and other signs and symptoms.

flowery bower the ceremony
was then pronounced the father giving the bride away.

chrysanthemums. In all
directions and especially in the dining room the color scheme of white, yellow and
lavender prevailed.

refreshments were
served in two courses. The favors were bows of ribbon tied in Tri Kappa colors.

A PLEASING SURPRISE
Clark & Shaw worked a very cleaver surprise on Granville WELLS and wife a few days
ago. They had Mrs. Wells called
out to her fathers to spend the day, and while Mr. WELLS was at school, they took down a
fine Peninsular hard
coal burner and put it up in place of their soft coal stove. Mr. WELLS had no hard coal so
they could not start a
fire in the burner but they put in a supply of charcoal ready for the match. Mrs. WELLS
returned home first and
thought her husband had ordered the stove to surprise her but she was no more surprised
than her husband when he
returned home. He thought his wife had ordered it and they were about to pull hairs over
the matter before someone
informed them that the stove was a gift from a well known hardware firm of Jamestown. Mr.
WELLS has been working
for the firm the past several years during the summer and on Saturdays during the winter.
The other five days of
his time during the school season is spent in the school room. After school hours and of
nights he helps in the
firms hardware store, waiting on trade or attending to the books. He has thus given many
days service to the firm
for which he receives no wages, and Messrs. CLARK & SHAW worked the surprise on he and
his wife in appreciation of
those services. It is needless to say that Mr. WELLS and his good lady were more surprised
than ever when they
learned who the doners (sic) were, and also the gift was greatly appreciated.
