LOCAL MATTERS
The dismissal of such old, tried, faithful and competent servants as Samuel Curtis, John Donaldson and John Freckelton, by the railroad company, because they declined to leave the work they were employed to do, and go out upon the road and run engines, was an arbitrary and unwise net? of injustice to those men. They deserve better treatment at the hands of a company to which they have rendered such valuable service. After their suspension, some of these men passed the first whole day they had spent in years with their families. We hope Col. Hill, whom we believe to be a just man, will use his influence to have this wrong righted, as soon as possible.

Mr. O. B. Sargent, for reasons that are good, has declined to be a candidate for Trustee of Eel township, and we offer now the name of Samuel Curtis. This name will at once rally a host of friends, and we can safely predict the election of Mr. Curtis by a handsome majority. No man stands higher in this community then Mr. Curtis, and he is deservedly popular with all who know him.

The voters of Eel township elected Mr. Bradley over Samuel Curtis.

The funeral of Samuel Curtis, deceased, was largely attended yesterday afternoon. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers attended in a body. About sixty were in line, preceded by Fornoff's martial band. A long line of carriages filled with relatives and sympathizing friends followed the remains to Mt. Hope. Rev. Dr. Birch conducted the religious exercises.

MARRIED
BENSON-HATCH
At the M.E. parsonage in Spirit Lake, June 5th, by Rev. W.D. Cole, Mr. Marion A. Benson and Miss Annie D. Hatch, both of Lake Park. The groom is a son of a leading business man in Lake Park. We personally know little of either party, but from the little we know this would appear to be a sensible mating, promising genial companionship and mutual helpfulness. The Beacon extends the compliments of the season, and hopes Mr. and Mrs. Benson may make and maintain a home in Dickinson county.

ELMER E WHITE
From the very earliest ages, the art of preparing the compounds that arrest and remove pain and heal the sick has been regarded as among the highest of human functions, and thus it is that so much interest and importance attach to the calling of the druggist in our own day. Among the leading and most reliable members of the pharmaceutical profession in Valparaiso, Indiana, is the firm of Heineman & White. Their stock embraces fresh, pure drugs and chemicals, patent and proprietary remedies, toilet articles, perfumery, druggist's sundries, etc., supplemented by a choice line of imported and domestic cigars. Mr. White, the junior member of the firm, was born in Valparaiso, July 24, 1864, and is a son of Charles F. White. Our subject was only about eighteen months old when his mother died, and he went to live with an uncle, Elias Axe, who is still a resident of Valparaiso. Young White received a liberal education in the schools of Valparaiso and subsequently entered the Normal College of Valparaiso where he took a commercial course. Afterward he was employed by L. Rowley & Son, then Rowley & Letherman, and continued with the two firms about five years. Then on account of ill health, asthma, he went west, traveling through Kansas, Indian Territory and Texas for two years. He was greatly benefitted and went to Chicago, where he was employed by Morrison & Plummer, wholesale druggist, for about eighteen months. Returning to Valparaiso, he was employed by A. F. Heineman for about ten months, after which, in 1890, he purchased a half interest in the store, the firm name being Heineman & White. This is one of the neatest stores in the city and a large stock of goods is carried. Mr. White was married in 1891 to Miss Ina C. Moore, of Toledo, Ohio. He and wife are members of the Christian Church, and he is a Knight Templar in the Masonic order. He is a self-made young man and deserves much credit for his enterprise.

FARMERS AT IT AGAIN
Not long ago there were assault cases and assault cases daily, and now after a lull of a few days another one bubs up from the Pickrell neighborhood in which two "prominent" farmers are involved.

Jacob Meyer yesterday appeared before his honor, Judge Spafford, and swore out a complaint for the arrest of his brother-in-law, David Nehr, charging him with assault with intent to commit murder. Mr. Nehr, learning that Sheriff Trude had a warrant for his arrest, came to town and gave himself up yesterday afternoon. He pleaded not guilty before Judge Spafford, and by agreement between his attorney, Judge Hazlett, and County Attorney Terry the case was set for hearing December 17 at 9 o'clock. He was released until that time upon his on recognizance.

From reports of the affair Nehr and Meyer have not been on the best of terms of late. Mr. Meyer alleges that Nehr and his hired man visited his place Friday morning where the h.m. assaulted him without provocation. During the trouble Mrs. Meyer appeared on the scene when Nehr struck her in the face. Meyer went to the assistance of his wife, and in trying to land a right to Nehr's jaw for a knockout, he missed, and Nehr struck him in the head several times with a pitchfork handle, putting him down and out. When Meyer appeared in County Attorney Terry's office he showed that he had been badly beaten. Several ugly gashes had been inflicted in his forehead, and his head and neck were cut and bruised.

ENTIRE CITY MORNS
Tragic End of Two Young Persons Who Were
Universally Known and Admired Causes Deep Sorrow Miss Elsie J. Fathers, only daughter of Mayor and Mrs. James A. Fathers, and her fiance, Charles Carr, son of Mrs. Fidelia Carr, were instantly killed exactly at five o'clock Sunday afternoon when an outgoing interurban car struck their automobile at McKey Boulevard and James place, in Spring Brook.

When the heavy trolley car brought to a jarring stop its length and a half from where the automobile was struck, the automobile was a twisted wreck of iron and steel and the woodwork a mass of kindling wood. Beneath the automobile was the body of Miss Fathers. Carr was under the interurban car. It was necessary to jack this from the tracks to free his body.

Crushed Beyond Recognition.

The victims were unrecognizable. A small crowd soon gathered and it was remarked that the automobile looked like that of Mayor Fathers. the police had been called and a telephone message to the city hall station and a consultation of the state automobile license book established the fact that it was Mr. Fathers' car. A scrap of paper with his name on it identified Charles Carr. From these facts and then the fact that Miss Fathers and Mr. Carr had been sweethearts for the past eight years, it was established that the mayor's daughter was Carr's companion.

When the interurban car was brought to a stop, a little over one hundred feet from where it struck the automobile, the body of Miss Fathers was beneath the automobile. Carr's body was wrapped about a low guard plank on the forward part of the front truck of the trolley car. Portions of their clothing and remnants of cushions were hastily collected to cover the bodies.

County Coroner Frank Ryan was out of the city, and until this was learned nothing was done. After a delay of almost three-quarters of an hour, orders were given to remove the bodies. Jacks were procured and the car bolstered from the tracks high enough to permit the extraction of Carr's body from about the guard plank of the trucks.

Six Witness to Tragedy.

At least six persons were witnesses to the accident. Five of these from their own statements absolve Motorman Messerknecht of Rockford from all blame. These five agree on the following:
Miss Fathers and Carr drove south on McKey boulevard towards the Calorie plant. At James Place they turned west and stopped and then backed up, apparently about to turn around, stopped (two of the witnesses here say Carr looked around and saw the approching car), and then, after stopping, began to back up again until the automobile was directly across the rails.

The interurban car struck the automobile.  I screamed as I saw them come together but I could see no more with the cloud of dust and dirt thrown up  was the statement of one witness.

The automobile was rolled one hundred and five feet by the interurban car. This was the distance Motorman Messerknecht required to stop after he had jammed on his emergency breaks when he saw the collision inevitable.

His statement a few minutes after the accident was;  I saw the automobile ahead of my car just after I had crossed the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway tracks at the Hough Shade company's plant. The driver turned into the side street (James Place), stopped and began to back. When I saw this I pulled my whistle cord and decreased the speed of my car. I was then traveling between ten and twelve miles an hour. The driver of the automobile looked around before he stopped and I thought he intended remaining in his position until I had passed. Instead he began to back up. At that time we were less than a hundred feet away. He was full upon the tracks when we struck him. I threw on my emergency brakes and stopped in as short a distance as was possible. 

All Agree on Facts

Miss Florence White, a daughter of William L. White, a borarding house keeper at 411 James Place, and Florence Landsyork, 429 James Place, were playing with rabbits in the yard of the White residence and saw the accident. Lavina and Sarah Landsyork, sisters of Florence, were crossing the field at the south end of the canning factory. They also saw it, as did B. C. Ter Maath of 309 Elliot street, manager of the Keystone Cement Construction company, and E. W. Oute of 424 Elliot street. Mr. Ter Maath was on the east side of the track near the canning factory, while Mr. Oute was on the west side.

The witnesses agree that Motorman Messerknecht signaled a warning with a blast of his whistle. They further agree with the motorman in almost every particular with his statement of facts as he remembers them.

Of particular interest is the statement by the motorman and its sub(illegilbe) by the witnesses that the interurban car was not traveling at the speed ordinary to this stretch of road between the crossing of the Milwaukee railroad tracks at the Hough Shade plant and the Caloric plant a quarter of a mile away.

Nolan Gets Statements

Thos. S. Nolan, attorney for the Rockford & Interurban company hurried to the scene upon learning of the accident. He talked with Motorman Messerkenecht and Conductor Kensitger and the witnesses and secured statements from them. Conductor Kensiger paced off the distance along the boulevard from the marks in the dirt? showing where the car was first struck to the front end of the interurban. This was thirty-five steps and measuring three feet to each step was one hundred and five feet.

After the removal of the bodies at six o'clock, Mr. Nolan, Chief Chamrich and the conductor and the several witnesses compared facts and established the theory that Carr, after driving a few feet west onto James Place, after leaving McKey boulevard, backed again on the boulevard, saw the car coming and stopped. After stopping it was brought out that Carr looked towards the car and figured he could cross the tracks and head toward town with his machine, he acted on the impluse with its disastrous results.

The automobile was first struck just back of the right front wheel. Miss Fathers sat directly in the path of this force. For a short distance the automobile slid along the ground, but the left hind wheel broke, permitting the light car to go over on its side, and from that moment on the automobile rolled onward like a log.

Body Under Automobile

Miss Fathers must have been first thrown from her seat and then caught and crushed by the car as it slid and rolled. Her body was beneath the wrecked automobile when the torn wreckage was lifted.

Carr, it is thought, was first pinned in his seat by the stearing wheel and apparatus, and on the first upsetting of the sutomobile was wrenched out only to be picked up and crushed by the guard plank on the interurban car truck.

The automobile was crushed nearly flat. The sides were caved in and bent and all apparatus was torn loose. Portions of the machine were strewn along the roadway.

News of the accident spread like wildfire over the city. The first report was that two men were instantly killed when their automobile was struck by an interurban car near the Caloric factory, in Spring Brook. Who the victims were was at first unknown.

Croud Gathers Quickly

Automobile parties and pedestrians enjoying a resplendant afternoon of spring rushed to the scene in hundreds. From nowhere, seemingly, they gathered instantaneously, foring a morbid, curious crowd with God fear on their faces. A bright and sunny spring afternoon of pleasure and enjoyment closed with sickening and remorse from the scenes they witnessed.

For but a few minutes less than an hour the two mangled and crushed bodies lay in the open awaiting the arrival of the proper authorities. Wild eyed and fearful, grownups and children passed back and forth with sickened boldness.

August Messerknecht, Rockford, was the motorman on the interurban car. E. A. Kensinger of Beloit was his conductor. A number of Janesville residents were passengers. The car left here for Beloit at five o'clock.

No Inquest To Be Ordered As To Blame For Accident

After a conference with Mayor James A. Fathers, this morning, District Attorney Stanley Dunwiddie announced that he would not call a coronor's jury to investigate the accident which caused the death of Miss Fathers and Charles Carr late Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Carr, whose son also met death, was also adverse to an inquest being held.

Services at Methodist Episcopal Church -
Rev. Brigham and Rev. Willimann Will Conduct the Funeral
Over a bright and happy future Providence yesterday beckoned with its hand of death, summoning eternally two young people in the most lamentable and tragic accident of Janesville in years, just at that time when their outlook was happiest. Elsie Jane Fathers and Charles Fern Carr had been sweethearts for years, their first acquaintance being made while schoolmates together. Since that time they have been constant companions. They were betrothed and the wedding date, within a few short monts, had been decided upon. But the grim hand of the reaper intervened and together they went to meet their Maker.

Arrangements for the funeral were completed by the bereaved parents of Miss Fathers and by the widowed mother of Mr. Carr this morning. Side by side they will be buried in a double grave in Oak Hill cemetery. In death, as in their companionship during life, they will be together.

The funerals will be held at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the Cargill Methodist Episcopal church. The pastor, the Rev. Francis H. Brigham and the Rev. Henry Willmann of Trinity Episcopal church, will conduct the services and deliver the funeral orations. Members of Odd Fellow lodges, of which Mr. Carr was a member, will conduct the last rites over his body at the grave.

It is expected that the double funeral will be the largest in the city in many years. Both were prominent socially and numbered their friends and acquaintances by the scores.

Today at the Fathers home at 725 South Main street and at the home of Mrs. Carr, 820 Milwaukee avenue, the shock of the accident still keeps the parents and the mother in a state verging on collapse. News of the tragedy comes as such a shock that it will be long before they or the city will forget.

Miss Fathers and Mr. carr had attended the funeral of Miss Elizabeth Harris yesterday afternoon. With them was Mrs. Fathers. After the services she alighted at her home, thus miraculously escaping the fate of the young people, who went for a short pleasure ride.

Mr. Fathers and Mrs. Carr, previous to the Harris funeral, had been at the Grand hotel, where the former had an engagement with a traveling man. Mr. Carr left and it was here that the father heard the news over the telephone that his daughter had been in a terrible accident. Rushed to the scene, he collapsed when the realization came. His emotions beggar description.

Elsie Jane Fathers

Elsie Jane Fathers was beloved and esteemed as a friend by hundreds of acquaintances in Janesville. She was known on every hand through her pleasing, agreeable and bright disposition and by those characteristics which manke friends and hold them through life.

Today her many acquaintances grieve over her death and offer their prayers of sympathy and condolence for her grief-frantic parents. Seldom has the death of one of Janesville's daughters cast such gloom over the city. On every hand today were heard kind words of her.

Miss Fathers had always made her home in Janesville and had she lived until June 11, would have been thirty-two years of age. She was born here in 1884.

Her entire education was secured in the schools of Janesville. She was graduated from the Janesville high school, finishing with the class of 1902. After completing her schooling she began work with her father, James A. Fathers, who was then treasurer of the city of Janesville. She assisted him during all his terms of office. During her father's present duties as mayor as well, she served as his private secretary and with untiring effort proved herself all that her parents looked forward for her to be.

While Miss Fathers made many close friends during her schoold days, her circle of acquaintances was greatly enlarged during her work in the city treasury department. She came in contact with practically every taxpayer of the city and once met, her over pleasing disposition and charming manner were never forgotten.

Miss Fathers was a member of Trinity Episcopal church. She was a frequent worshiper and always took an active interest in the church activities. From her intimacy with her church she moulded for herself a beautiful Christian character and found favor and respect through her devotion to causes of righteousness.

She is mourned by her parents and by one brother, John T. Fathers, who resides at 1114 Wall street in this city. A sister, Rose May Fathers, died June 27, 1882.

Charles Fern Carr

Charles Fern Carr was almost as well known in Janesville as his fiancee, Miss Fathers. He, too, was prominent among the young men of the city, having lived here for slightly over twenty-five years.

He was the only child of his widowed mother, Mrs. Fidilia Carr, who lives at 829 Milwaukee avenue. His father passed away five years ago. He was two years Miss Fathers' senior, being aged thirty-five. He was born January 30, 1880, at Grand Meadow, Minnesota, and came to Janesville with his parents when seven years of age.

He also received his education in the schools of the city and completed several years at the high school, although he did not graduate.

Mr. Carr had engaged in various occupations and at one time was a passenger train brakeman on the Mineral Point division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. He was active in local Odd Fellow circles, being a member of Janesville City Subordinate Lodge, No. 90; Rock River Encampment, No. 3 and of Janesville Canton, No. 9. F. M. The respective lodges of which he was a member will meet this evening to arrange for representative delegations to attend the funeral on Tuesday afternoon.

All Morn

The black shroud of mourning clothed the city hall this morning.

There was a respectful silence in every department within the building. Male employes exhibited their grief with drawn faces and with unbashed tears. The two girls employed in the offices were broken by the crushing tragedy.

The office of Mayor James A. Fathers was locked. In the office of the water department the deak that had been occupied by Miss Fathers was mockingly emply and the chair drawn under the table. The flag hung at half-mast over the city hall and fire stations.

The tragedy was not a subject of conversation. No one talked, or even whispered. The one thought in the minds of all, was of grief and lamentation over the fate of the two victims of the terrible accident and the sorrow of the relatives.

No one remembered of ever seeing or hearing Miss Fathers say, or do, an ungracious act. She was in authority on accounts of the city. She was familiar with every department of the city government and a more skilled and accurate employe could not be found. Never did she slight or make light of her duties.

The respect and love that the city workmen held for her could be demonstrated no better than by the pall of silence that hovered over the city hall today. She never had other than a kind word for anyone.

HARRY OSBORNE KILLED IN SANTA FE TRAIN WRECK
Well Known Local Man Meets Untimely Death - Was Married Only Month Ago to Miss Fay Curtis
Today while she was in the midst of preparations for getting ready to go to Needles, Cal., to join her husband, Harry A Osborne, the wife received a message stating that he had been killed in a train accident at near Kingman, Arizona.

The message was quite brief and only contained the sad news that death had taken place.

He was 37 years of age and a member of the local Elks' lodge.

Some time ago he went west and accepted a job in the Santa Fe. In August he returned to his home here and on August 22 at Delphi he was married to Miss Fay Curtis of this city, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Curtis, 200 Montgomery street. The couple planned to spend a long honeymoon here but the husband was unexpectedly called back to his work. He left for Needles about two weeks ago and the wife, who is now made a widow, was to have joined him there in a short time.

The parents of deceased are now in Salida, Colorado on a pleasure trip. It is likely the body will be brought back here for burial.

A GOOD WOMAN DIES
Word was received here Saturday that brought sadness to many. At 2:30 Saturday afternoon Mrs. Bennett, a sister of Mrs. Theo. Strathman and Mr. C. F. Hatch of Lake Park, died at Fullerton, California of dropsy. She had been ill for some time and had been advised by her physician to go from her home in the northern part of state of Washington to the home of her sister at Fullerton in the hope that the lower altitude and milder climate might benefit her, but it was not to be.

For a number of years Mrs. Bennett lived near Lake Park, close to the south end of the Silver Lake, on what was known as Bennett's ranch and made many friends who sorrow at her death. Of late she has been living in the state of Washington. She was buried at Fullerton. None of the relatives from here were able to attend.

Long years ago, at Ackley, Iowa, when the deceased was a girl she was a member of the Sunday School class the editor of the News used to teach, and he has always felt a kindly interest in her through all the years.

Henry R. Osborn was born in Girard, Pa., March 29, 1840, and died at his home in Milton, Wis., the result of an accident, April 17, 1919, at the age of 79 years and 19 days. At the age of four years he came to Oconomowoc, Wis., with his parents. When twelve years old he moved with his parents to the farm in Harmony, now occupied by C. A. Rice.

On September 22, 1862, he enlisted in the 22nd Reg. Wis. Vol. and remained in the service to the close of the war. He was a prisoner for fifteen days, confined in Libby prison. He suffered all the privations and hardships of army life, and at one time was nigh unto death from typhoid pneumonia.

In the year 1866, October 23, he was united in marriage to Orie A. Wheeler, who survives him. One son was born to them, Glen Eugene Osborn, of Riverside, Calif., who with his wife and two grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends, are left to mourn his loss.

He followed the occupation of farming until fifteen years ago when they moved to their home in Milton.

He was baptised and joined the Free Baptist church of North Johnstown a number of years ago, but for several years he has not been a member of any church. He was possessed of a jovial disposition, was a good husband and father, a kind neighbor, a true friend, and was honored and respected by all who knew him.

The American people respect and honor the G. A. R. of which he was a faithful member - so in ancient Rome, centuries ago, great honors were bestowed on the Praetorian Guard, established by Augustus, the 1st Roman Emperor, and maintained by successive Emperors for 300 years, but the Praetorian Guard long since passed away and its glory hath departed - so the G. A. R. of the Republic is rapidly being mustered out and we will trust that the soul of our honorable, kindly friend and comrade has joined the Grand Army of the redeemed. So his friends, his comrades, came to drop the tear of sorrow on his bier.

Funeral services were held at the home at 2:30 p.m. Monday and at the Congregational church at 3 o'clock. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, tokens of love and respect from his many friends and relatives.

WAC ATTEMPTS TO PULL PILOT FROM TWISTED DEBRIS
Craft Miraculously Misses Buildings in Plunge to Earth
A Southtowner, Lt. Walter Fleer Koenig, 20 years old, was the pilot of the army training plane that went into a flat spin and crashed in a backyard at 3750 W. 63rd pl. Thursday afternoon, miraculously missing surrounding buildings but killing the two occupants of the aircraft. The Southtown pilot was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter R. Koening, 5949 Troy st.

The other officer in the plane at the time of the accident was Capt. George E. Marshall, 28 years old, of North Hollywood, Cal., whose widow, Dorothy, is living temporarily in the Blackstone hotel.

Hear Engine of Falling Plane.
Ruth Hubbard, a private in the Wac who recently has returned from service in Labrador, and her mother, Mrs. Luella Hubbard, were in their home at the 63rd pl. address when they heard the engine of the plane go on and off and then heard a crash which shook their one-story home. Private Hubbard ran out the back door and saw the twisted wreckage of the plane which was beginning to burn.

"I ran to the plane to try and help the pilot, who was slumped over the engine panel, but neighbors shouted at me to stay away for fear the plane might explode," she said.

Ruth's sister, Dorothy, 14 years old, was standing in front of the house when the plane swooped down to tree-top level, hit the electric wires of the house and fell into the yard.

Screams for Mother
"I ran into the house screaming for mother and Ruth," she said, "because I thought the thing surely hit the house and I knew they probably were in the kitchen."

The plane's tail struck approximately two feet from the northeast corner of the Hubbard home and its body ploughed up almost four feet of ground.

Mrs. Clara Hubbard, 85 years old, who lives in the small house in the rear of the Hubbard home, was in bed when the plane fell into the yars. One of its wings landed within five feet of the entrance to her house.

Charles Schaefer, 9745 Hamlin ave., and Walter Dolph, 3713 W. 64th pl., were driving east on 67th st. at Hamlin ave. when the plane swooped approximately five feet over their car and then gained altitude.

"It went up about 200 feet and then started swirling around, coming down fast," Mr. Schaefer said. "Later we heard a terrible crash (continued on Page 10)

(continued from Page 1)
and drove over to see if we could help.

Although flames spread over the engine of the plane, it did not explode. Firemen, who arrived on the scene three minutes after the accident, sprayed it with foamite and chemical which prevents the spread of fire on metal.

Ten squads of police kept crowds of onlookers behind the picket fences that surround the Hubbard's back yard. Coroner Brodie, also ont he scene, said he planned to investigate low-flying planes, which have been frightening residents in the area in which the crash occurred.

The two officers had been up in the plane approximately an hour after taking off from the army air strip at the Southtown airport.

Lieutenant Koenig, who received his commission a month ago, had been on active duty since February 1. He was to leave for March Field, Cal, next week and had been living at home while making routine flights from the airport.

He had been allowed to finish the semester at Elmhurst college, Elmhurst, where he was taking general college courses before being assigned to Chicago. Lieutenant Koenig was in the Civil Air patrol three years before entering service and was a graduate of Triden? Technical high school. He also attended Illinois..illegible.

Besides his parents he is survived by a sister, Joan, 15, and illegible.

Captain Marshall had been in the army illegible and overseas 11 months during which he received the distinguished flying cross and three presidential illegible citations while he planned to make the army his career, his wife said.

JOHNS-MANVILLE CHAIRMAN DIES
New York, Feb. 26-(UP). Lewis H. Brown, 57, chairman of the board of Johns-Manville Corp., died of a heart attack today at Delray Beach, Fla., the company announced here.

Brown, who was also 'chief executive officer for Johns-Mannville, was in Florida for several days rest and appeared to be in the best of health, the announcement said.

Brown, a native of Creston, Ia., lived at Deer Park, Greenwich, Conn.

He had risen from an Iowa farm boy to become president of the giant corporation at the age of 35 and establish a reputation as one of the nation's foremost industrialists.

BROWN DIES
Delray Beach, Fla. (UP) - Lewis H. Brown, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Johns-Manville Corporation, a Creston, Iowa native, died of a heart attack here Monday. He was 57.

A DISTINGUISHED SON OF IOWA
Lewis H. Brown was an Iowa-reared by who rose to high place in the American business scene through a full utilization of the talents and the energy bestowed on him by nature. He didn't follow a charted course; his was a career of push, not pull.

For a number of years Mr. Brown guided the destinies of the Johns-Manville corporation, first as president, later as chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Before that he helped give Montgomery Ward a position of leadership in its field. History was his mentor-but not his master.

Despite his heavy business responsibilities, Lewis Brown found time to concern himself intelligently about the affairs of his country and of his world. His enlightened views on national affairs often elicited the suggestion that he would make a good president.

In the period just after World war II Mr. Brown took time out for an on-the-grounds study of the European economy. He was the first to state unqualifiedly that Germany is pivotal in the hopes for European recovery. Since then this thesis has been all but universally accepted.

By any mode of measurement Lewis H. Brown was a distinguished citizen, one who brought large credit to his home state and to his alma mater, the University of Iowa. His death at age 57 has occasioned more than a personal sorrow. It has constituted a marked loss to the country in which he found opportunity.

SPRING GROVE: Fred Hatch, the son of a well-off Spring Grove farmer, came back from the University of Illinois with some high-falutin' ideas. Instead of storing cattle feed in underground spaces as was the custom at the time, Hatch wanted to try building an upright, above-ground storage building. The reason? Underground bins tended to rot the grains. According to reports kept by the McHenry County Historical Society, Fred's father, Lewis Hatch, took some convincing but eventually agreed to try it out. And in October of 1873, the world's first silo was born.

William Hamil Ogden, 78, Renowned Illinois golf pro
June 30, 2005|By Charles Sheehan, Tribune staff reporter.
The legacy of golfer William Hamil Ogden could have been written in the scoring records he set, his numerous Illinois PGA titles and the number of major tournaments in which he played.

Yet most say it is not inscribed on trophies or scorecards. Rather, his legacy can be found among the two generations of golf pros, Mr. Ogden's proteges, who are gathering this week to honor their teacher.

Mr. Ogden, 78, the head golf pro at North Shore Country Club in Glenview for more than four decades, died Friday, June 24, in his Indian Wells, Calif., home of cancer. Mr. Ogden turned pro in 1950 and took a job at North Shore Country Club the next year, said his daughter, Shelly Ogden Sage. At one point, he was the head pro at five clubs at the same time. It was an era when some of the best golfers held jobs as club pros during the summer and played the winter tour professionally, said Tim O'Neal, the head pro at North Shore. It was while he was at North Shore that Mr. Ogden began building an impressive resume as a competitor.

Mr. Ogden competed in more than 30 major championships, including three Masters, according to the Illinois PGA Golf Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 1990. He qualified 14 times for the U.S. Open and made the 36-hole cut at the Western Open five times and tied for eleventh there in 1963. Mr. Ogden won 18 Illinois section titles and is the only golfer to win the state Grand Slam: the Illinois Open, PGA Medal Play, PGA Match Play and the Assistants Championship (1953-1954). He was the Illinois PGA Player of the Year a record six times.

He was admired by club pros and legendary golfers alike, though reluctantly during the 1956 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am Championship at Cypress Point. With winds blasting over the notorious par-3 16th, which required a long carry over a finger of the Pacific Ocean, Mr. Ogden was in a foursome that included the legendary Ben Hogan. Many pros laid up short of the green, but , Mr. Ogden pulled a 3-wood from his bag and slammed the ball into the wind, dropping it gently to the green with the Pacific Ocean churning just to the right. As witnesses recounted, Hogan turned to Mr. Ogden and said, "That's the most stupid dang shot I've ever seen in my life," before he pulled out his own 3-wood and dropped his ball safely onto the back of the green.

But it was at the pro shop where Mr. Ogden made his mark in golf. His reputation as a careermaker brought legions of aspiring pros to his door. Many of his students are now head pros at courses from California to Florida. "He really cared about his boys," said his daughter. "He had me and my sister, but all of these guys were sons to him. He didn't just teach them to be pros, he taught them about life." Mr. Ogden retired in 1994.

On Wednesday many former students were heading to Southern California to honor Mr. Ogden, including O'Neal and Sam Chapman, head pro at Blaketree National Golf Club in Montgomery, Texas. "He was not just a player, not just a teacher and not just a club pro. He was all of those things and he did it all at a very high level of excellence," O'Neal said. Mr. Ogden's reputation for breeding talent was so great, golf clubs came to consider the pro shops where he worked as farm systems for future talent. A word from Mr. Ogden often meant a long, successful career. Former assistants never forgot it. "It's a tribute to what a great person he was," Chapman said. "There are quite a few of us, from Palm Springs, Chicago, all over, that are traveling today to honor that."

Mr. Ogden is also survived by his longtime companion, Mary Warrick; another daughter, Lori Ogden Moore; three sisters, Patricia Hagan MacDonald, Margaret Parker and Jacqueline Butler; and his former wife, B.J. McDougall Ogden.

Services will be held Thursday in Palm Desert, [Riverside Co.] Calif.
