Aikaosan Owner Demonstrates the Ad
vantages of Automobile Travel Over
That of the Train.
Through twelvea'statesj and a part of
Canada, making in all about 8.600 miles of
travel, was the extent of a trip recently
taken by Mr. L. H. Barry uud his two sons
in a Model T. Tourabout. The gentle
man lives in Hot Springs, Arkansas, from
which state his tour ' was started.
Through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan he went, enjoying the fresh air
and scenery" as only those who tour"by
motor car may enjoy it.' From Detroit,
Mich., the tourists crossed the river into
Cnnada, through London, Hamilton and
Toronto, thence to . Niagara Falls where
they again entered the States. By
Buffalo, New York, they went through
Pennsylvania, several of the larger cities
of Ohio and into Kentucky. Passing
through the blue grass fields of Kentucky,
they went by way of Nashville, Tenn.,
through Alabama, Mississippi and back
up to Memphis, Tenn., where Mr. Barry
paid the first bill on the car, after 8, 100
miles, for cleaning, tightening up, eto. No
important repairs were needed. After
leaving Memphis, the party took the most
direct route back to Hot Springs. Upon
reaching home and consulting his expense
book, it was found that 214 gallons of gas
oline and 10 1-2 ot oil had been used on the
trip, making an expense of $46.02 for fuel
charges, or about 1 1-4 cents a mile
transportation for three people. At the
standard price of 2 cents a mile per
person, for train travel, it Is easily seen
that in traveling by automobile Mr.
Barry saved nearly three-fourths of what
It would have cost him had he traveled by
train.
"Everybody was surprised that a Ford
car could make such a trip. We had the
pleasure of running around twelve or fif
teen different makes of cars on the trip,
and we never went out and cranked her up
that she was not ready to go."

OLDEST WOMAN IN THE
STATE PASSED AWAY.
The oldest woman in all this part
ot the country was laid to rest Sun
day afternoon In the cemetery Imme
diately back or the M. E. church at
Sabula. The remains were those of
Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker, who was
born August 2, 1806, and who died
last Friday night, December 16, about
midnight, at the home of her son,
with whom she lived for many years,
on a little farm near Narrows Creek,
about three and a half miles from Du
Bois and two miles from Sabula.
Mrs. Shoemaker had been dropsical
for several weeks, and owing to ber
great age, of more than 104 years, she
rapidly weakened and with the ebb
of vitality her heart ceased to beat.
At two o'clock Sunday afternoon
the funeral party left the house and
arrived at the church about three
o'clock. A large congregation had
already assembled there, and when
the services began the church was
filled beyond Its normal seating ca
pacity, Rev. Mr. Shingledecker, pas
tor of that congregation, delivered the
funeral address and cited incidents oc
curring In the life ot the aged lady
during the years of bis acquaintance
with her. Ten years ago the minis
ter was stationed on the same charge
and became quite well known to the
old lady. Returning recently he
was called to see her Just before she
died and to show her mental clear
ness up to the last be related how
quickly she recognized him on simply
hearing his voice in an adjoining
room.
Mrs. Shoemaker's burial place Is at
the rear of the burying ground, far
thest removed from the public high
way. An improvement on the loca
tion was afterwards discussed by
some ot those In attendance. The
idea advanced as a better one was to
have the burial place ot this woman
noted for ber great age next
to the publio highway, where a sub
stantial monument could be placed In
her. honor which would be observed
In passing without leaving the high
way. Not often do people see a
person who has lived beyond a cen
tury, and yet less frequently do they
have an opportunity to note where
one who was granted Buch exceptional
distinction as Mrs. Shoemaker was
finally laid to rest. Mrs. Shoemaker
has become a permanent figure in
local history. There is jnore than a
family Interested in the accessabillty
and permanency of her burial place.
