"Uncle George H.

He says: 'Remember me to my children.' When he wrote he had lost his "specks," but he still managed to make out a pretty good letter. He says he did the feedinf and watering of the chickens before the other members of the family were up on the morning he sent us the letter, the 29th of August. He then ate his breakfast after which he walked two miles to the postoffice to mail his letter, and returned home. The good doctor is quite advanced in years, but never forgets his old home here and the many warm friends he left behind whien he went to Kansas a couple of years ago to reside with his son, Richard, and family. May he live many years to enjoy life."

"Our Kansas Letter, Lyons, Kansas, Oct. 20, 1888.

Editor Repubican:

I am not a gliv with the pen or thought as I used to be; but thank God I am yet on the right side, as I have reason to think of the land of my adoption. You have known me a good many years and I am the same that I used to be, only I cannot express myself as well. I was reading in the Warren Republican, or you may say "our paper," a communication from a friend of mine that I used to be well acquainted with; and we were together on the Battle Ground. I coincide with him in the everything he says. Oh, how I would like to be with you all! He and I are the same age- I was 80 years old the 23rd of last June.

Now my friends of my adopted county I have done the best I could in different capacities, from a cabin boy to a cook and steward on a steamboat; from that I towed flat-boats down the river and even spun flax in my young days, and I even got down as low as to be a steam doctor, which calling I followed for over twenty years and never lsot a patient of my own, beginning even clear back to thw Wabash to California in '49. But now my friedds (sic) my race is nearly run, but I hope as I was permitted to vote for "petticoat" Harrison, as they called him 1840, I may also do the same in 1888 for Ben. Harrison, and I hope he will make as good a President as his grandfather. I would be glad to see my friends, one and all, once more, but that cannot be, and I am sorry for it, but now hurrah for Harrison, Morton and all who are on that ticket! Farewell Geo. H. Nodurft."

Editor Republican: Dear Sir:- the old "Tyler" has gone to the Grand Lodge above, where the Supreme Architect of the Universe resides.

George H. Nodurft died at the home of his son, Kichard (sic) Nodurft, in Lyons, Rice county, Kans, on Saturday, March 12th 1892, at 7:20 a.m., aged 83 years, 8 months and 18 days. Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock p.m. on Sunday, March 13th, 1892, from the residence of R. Nodurft, by the Masonic Fraternity.

There is no doubt, but that a great many of the readers of the Republican will remember the old "Tyler" of Williamsport Lodge, No. 38, F.@A.M.

In conversation a few days ago he told me this: "I want you to write to my old friend, John Gregory, and tell him my eyes have failed and I cannot see to read his paper, but I fell I will soon go to meet my other old friend, John Hodgson, and in the yard I saw four white sheets hanging. Yes, they were the whitest sheets I ever saw. Hodgson and I stood there and talked about those beautiful white sheets. Yes, I am going to meet my old friend. Am I prepared? Yes. I was baptized into the Christian Church. I have always been good to the poor and God will take care of me." The last words he spoke were, " I am going to see my old friend John Hodgson." R. Nodurft"

"From a recent letter from Richard Nodurft, of Rice county, Kan. received by his brother Jacob, at this place, we learn that "Dick" has been having the rheumatism but is again able to be around. He writes the Spring in that part of Kansa has been very fair, that the wheat was in bloom the 18th of May and that the prospect for a large wheat crop was good. Seeding was done by the middle of last month and they had commenced cultivation the corn. He has out 200 acres of wheat, 165 acres of corn, 27 acres of oats, 20 acres of millet, in all 412 in grain. They are about beginnign the wheat harvest. He says: I wish you were here to help us harvest; it would do you good to see this county in June and see how we run a farm here. It is not the old farmer who succeeds best here, but mecanics who know how to handle machines. We have machinery with which two men and eight horses plowed and harrowed the ground, and planted 15 acres of corn every day, the driver sitting in the spring seat smoking while doing the work. The work was done well. I rolled saw-logs 15 years too long. To show you what a man can do here I will relate a fact in connection with S.H. Welch, my wife's brother: he lost every thing he had by sickness on the Missouri river bottom, and came here without a dollar and had no team. I wintered him and family and bouthg him a team. He raised a crop last year and now he has six horses, a wagon, plows, harness and 30 acres of wheat, and 110 acres of corn and no doctor's bills." From this we may conclude that Mr. Nodurft is well upon the highway to wealth. Success attend him."
