He was educated in our public schools, leaving high school in his junior year to take up  a work  position, to relieve the burdens and cares of his widowed mother.  The last three years he has been employed at Strongs' store where he served the public in a gracious, pleasing and honorable manner.

Eloped for Fun

Frank Shively, of near Mentone, was in Rochester Tuesday for the purpose of having Sheriff King serve papers in the divorce suit brought against his eloping wife.  He had learned that she had returned from her jaunt with Elmer Gochenour and was stopping at the home of Mike Brown.  She accompanied the sheriff to town and claims she was "only in fun" when she deserted her husband, and is thoroughly disgusted with Frank for regarding it so seriously.  She admits that she and Elmer have been having a "good time" for the past several weeks, but she is now ready to settle down to ordinary every day life again.

Mr. Shively informed the Sentinel that he could not be induced to again receive her into his home and no amount of pleading for forgiveness will establish her in his affections.  He has given her what property belongs to her and secured a promise that she will not put in an appearance when the divorce case is called in the Warsaw court one week from Monday.--(Rochester Sentinel)
