He came to this place about 12 years ago, bought a piece of wild land and hewed out a comfortable home which could only be accomplished by perserverance and hard toil. He was a soldier of the war of the rebellion and it was the hardships, fatigues and exposures of this terrible campaign that sowed the seeds of the disease which slowly but surely undermined his constitution and ended in an attack of total paralysis and caused his death in a few hours. It was not till he was so broke down by ill health that most of the time he was unable to work he applied for a pension and that was 28 years after the war and which it was granted. The remains were conveyed to their last resting place under old glory, the flag he fought to preserve, the usual honor paid to a soldier's funeral. All honor to his memory.

She cared not for the world's applause, For vain and fleeting fame. She'd been denied the World's "high lights" The ease you buy with gold. Tho' 'tis what many deem her good, She's missed "good times", I'm told. The World can have what she has missed, To envy, there are none. She had the kisses of a child, At eve----when day is done---She did not care for wanderings When crowds went here and there. She asked of God one thing in life, Twas tis her daily prayer; "Lord, take my life and earthly goods, "One boon I crave, no other "When you complete my 'Book of Life' "Write: I'm a Worthy Mother."

Gladwin County Record dated 11-18/1942 Column - 5 Page - 3 OUR MARGIE Only memories of you, Margie Have we left to case the pain. Only memories as of sunshine That is banished by the rain. With the autumn leaves you faded, And with them have gone to rest God forgive us in our anguish For perhaps thou knowest best, All in vain we try to fathom How you smiled 'midst, work and play. Was your gallant soul concealing What we know so well today? Winter's winds will sign in mourning Spring will bring the flowers once more To embellish summer's grandeur Then to die at autumn's door. But perhaps some sunny morning Full of flowers and little children We will find a garden fair And our Margie will be there. Smiling she will come to greet us. And I think I hear her say, ---- "Did you say that you had missed me? Why, I hadn't been away." __In memory of Marjorie Dundas McKimmy who passed away November 16, 1942. 41-1 Poem, Gladwin County Record dated 12-23/1942 Column - 5 Page - 4 MARWIN DALE MCKIMMY (JULY 1938 -18 OCT 1938) MARY ELIZABETH (MOTE) MCKIMMY (5 APRIL 1896 - 24 FEB 1991) Mrs. Mary E.
