Tragic death of Mrs Farle halts Warrensburg troupe plan

The event prompted a local benefit organized by the community and offered by Martin Golden to cover expenses, but Mrs Farle died the next morning after suffering greatly. The funeral train to Brazil Indiana drew hundreds who heard ministers speak, and an alleged revivalist preacher named Futron drew public ire for prayers opposing the troupe. The deceased leaves two children.

Prof J Wit Loudsy Reape Delights Union Hall Audience
The elocutionist Prof J Wit Loudsy Reape gave three entertainments at Union Hall but poor weather reduced patronage. Selections including Lady Clara Vere de Vere Horatius at the Bridge The Raven and Mary Queen of Scots showcased his eloquence while lighter pieces like Love in a Balloon and Aurelias Unfortunate Young Man amused some but wore on others. We commend him as a master reader and hope for another visit.
