and the <span style="color: red;">Y.M.C.A.</span> gave him some place to go after
school and kept him off the streets when I had to work late to put food on the
table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Randy was great kid, but he was a
kid who marched to the beat of a different drummer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I would come home from work I would
frequently find him in his room playing his music so loud it would knock the
pictures off the wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would stomp
upstairs to his room and beat on his door and yell at the top of my lungs,
“Turn that noise off!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Sure Dad,” he’d
reply once he opened the door, “I’ll turn it off, for now, but even <span style="color: red;">you can’t stop the music</span> I hear in my head.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he enlisted <span style="color: red;">in

living in <span style="color: red;">Key West</span>, Florida <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My 60’s were good, and so far the 70’s have
been great, but I tell you I’m <span style="color: red;">ready for the 80’s</span>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I want to go somewhere else to live out
the rest of my sunset years. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Randy’s

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
B. F. HALL, one of the prominent and successful citizens of
Clarke County, residing on section 31, Green Bay Township, was born in Monroe
County, Indiana, November 28, 1834, a son of Warren Hall, a native of Kentucky,
and Cynthia (Parks) Hall. They were the parents of nine children – Sarah Ann,
B. F., W. N. John W., James M., Samuel L., Albert T., Mary Ann and Sarah
M.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our subject remained in his native
county till seven years of age, when his parents moved to Putnam County,
Indiana, where he resided nine years. He was reared on a farm, and received a
common-school education in the primitive log school-houses. In 1851 he went to
Decatur County, Iowa, locating four miles southeast of the present site of Leon,
where he lived until 1860.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
married December 14, 1855, to Miss Martha Ann Walton, of Decatur County, she
being a daughter of H. L. Walton. They have three children – Edward P., Charles
E. and Della May. In 1860 Mr. Hall bought 160 acres of his present farm, which
was at that time unimproved. He has since added to his original purchase, till
his farm now contains 545 acres of choice land, with comfortable and commodious
residence, and good barns and out-buildings. This is one of the best stock
farms in Clarke County, and is located two and a quarter miles west of Weldon.
Mr. Hall is a self-made man, having by his own good management, combined with
his industry and habits of economy, made his property, and has now a competency
for his declining years. He is a consistent member of the Christian church, and
a respected citizen of Green Bay township. In politics he casts his suffrage
with the Republican party.</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">LORENZO HARRISON SALES, a resident of Iowa since it became a state, is a descendant of a Mohawk Dutch family, and was born in Ontario county. New York, on the 28th of March, 1819. His parents were Hiram Sales, surveyor and farmer, and Nancy Ann Thorington, his mother being a native of Rutland, Vermont. His maternal great-grandfather was a Phillips, whose ancestry is traced back directly to the Mayflower. He was in the revolutionary army; was taken prisoner, brought as far west as Detroit, Michigan, by the Indians, and kept there several years. At length he made his escape, and after much hardship reached Vermont.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">When Lorenzo was three years old the family removed to Cincinnati, Ohio. Young as the boy was, he still recollects the trip down the Alleghany and Ohio rivers on a raft. The scenes on the way were a wonderful novelty to his young eyes, and time fails to obliterate them. After spending one year in Cincinnati his father removed to Troy, Miami county, where he died in 1823, leaving his widow with seven children. There Lorenzo received a common-school education in a log school-house.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">In 1834 the family removed to Defiance, where Lorenzo prepared himself for the medical profession, and where he practiced until 1846; removing to Iowa City, Iowa, a few months before it doffed its territorial robes. After practicing in Iowa City a little less than two years he removed to Washington county, continuing his profession in Washington and Richmond villages until 1856, when he removed his family to Leon, Decatur county. While at Richmond he received from President Pierce the appointment of receiver of the United States land office, at Chariton, Lucas county, and was in that position three years, when the office was moved to Des Moines.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br />

<b><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We are again called upon to record the death of an early settler of Decatur County. Judge Sales died last Wednesday morning at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. L. W. Forgrave, in </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Leon</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">, with bright's disease of the kidneys.

He lived with his parents in Cincinnati Ohio, a short time, when they removed to Defiance county where they resided until 1846, when the family came to Iowa. In 1856 Judge Sales located in </span><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Leon</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> where he practiced medicine for some time.

In 1860 he built the Sales House of which he was manager for many a year. He served as county judge for two years with marked ability and in 1862 enlisted in the 17th Iowa Infantry and soon received the appointment of Lieutenant of Company A. Failing in Health soon compelled his resignation. He drew a pension for disability incurred in the service. The deceased leaves a widow and three children all of whom were present at the time of his death. A man of integrity and ability has fallen and has many old friends among the pioneers of this county will drop a tear to his memory when they hear the sad news of his death.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
