                                 J. E. Bishop, 
                       Old Settler of Mitchell County 
				   Is Dead 

Blanche McLaughlin received word Sunday of the death of her uncle, J. E. 
Bishop of Los Angles, Calif. 

Mr. Bishop was one of the early settlers in Mitchell county, having come here 
in 1856 (the year of the land sale) with his parents at the age of 10 years. 
He grew to manhood in Burr Oak township, later attending school at the Cedar 
Valley seminary, when it was still located in the courthouse. 

When a young man he studied law in the office of Cyrus Foreman and after
being admitted to the bar he became a partner in law with M. M. Brown.
Later he practiced law in North Dakota and continued his  profession in
Los Angeles, Calif. until a few years ago. He was 87 years of age at
the time of his death.

Mr. Bishop visited his niece frequently here in Osage, and renewed and made 
many friends who will be sorry to learn of his passing.
