=====================
KOUTS.
Death, the grim monster, has been at work in Kouts during the past few days.
The first one called was old Mr. Sumner, Mrs. Lewis Stoddard's father. He
was born in New York in 1805 and conseqently was fast nearing his 87th mile
post. His last sickness was brief, and he passed peacefully away on the
morning of Jan. 11. His body was taken to Ross, Indiana, for burial. He had
lived a good, upright life, and all who knew the kind old man loved and
respected him. His wife preceded him to "that happy land" by a few years. He
leaves children and grandchildren besides a host of other relatives and
friends to mourn his loss.
The second one summoned was Mr. Elijah Wood, also an old man and a respected
resident of this section. He died Jan. 14, of lung fever. His body was
interred in the cemetery near Valparaiso. He has been sick for some time and
it was known several days before his death that he could not recover.
