A Queer way to be killed. Mr. Pickett Baggan, a respectable citizen of more than forty years
residence in this county, met a most singular death at his home near Pine
Apple, a short time since. He was sitting in the plaza of his house, in a
rocking chair, and near the railing or banister, his feet resting at the edge
of the flooring. In this position his feet slipped off the floor toward the
ground, and his body being allowed to follow on account of the moving forward
of the chair on the rockers; his chin caught on the upper railing and the back
of the chair came up against the back of his head, and so remained, so that the
was suspended in this singular manner. Being quite old and infirm, he was
unable to extricate himself, and the weight of his body resting on his chin
prevented this opening his mouth to call for help, and thus died from
strangulation.- Greenville Adeocate.

Death is a solemn thing. That grim monster
which is abroad in our land, slaying hundreds upon hundreds; that which often
takes our nearest and dearest friend. We can imagine we hear the splashing of
the oars while the messenger is bearing them over the river- Death come to the
young as well as the old. Perhaps the young lady in the bloom of youth, or the
young man in the pride of life, the aged father or mother, or the little infant
snatched from its mother s bosom. How Careful then ought we to be in
remembering our Creator in the days of our youth, when the evil days come not.

affliction in his family kept him in deep adversity, but by great energy

Three Children burned to death on Friday

accompanied by his wife and their infant child, started from their home (a
humble log cabin a mile and a half southeast of Athens) for the purpose of
coming to town to lay in some needed supplies, leaving the house in charge of
their three children, a lad of 7, and two little daughters, aged respectively 5
and 3 years. They locked the house and left a kerosene lamp burning to light
the children in their absence. Before they had got three quarters of a mile,
they observed a fire apparently in their neighborhood, and fearing the worst,
they rapidly retraced their steps, but only to find the house almost consumed
when they reached it, the three children perishing in the flames.
The presumption is that the lamp was upset or
exploded; and as the remains of the boy with an ax were found near the door, it
is most likely he was trying to escape from the dwelling when the fire reached
him, or suffocation from the smoke occurred.- Athens Journal, 4th.

A Warning Voice
Clarington,
April 20, 1875
How solemn the lesson we learn, as passing
through the country and beholding it dotted here and there with cemeteries,
with the warning voice of death. Inscribed upon the marble slab we see the
language which speaks in unmistakable tones that sleep of death has been the
visitor of some heretofore unbroken family. A father or mother, sister or
brother, or some near and dear friend, has been the victim of icy fingers that
grapple with all of God s creatures and claims them as his own for a time.
Here we learn a hero has fallen his victim
while in the heat of battle, the statesman, the tall, the wise, the reverend
head, the man of low degree. The father is snatched from his wife and prattling
ones, the wife from her husband and companion, the infant rose is snapped in
the morning breeze; all-all-all- must go from us at the summons of the King.
As we wend our way
with slackened pace, bearing the remains of a loved one, we seem to hear the
voice of the sleeper say, AS you are now so once was I; as I am now, so must
you be. Entering the city of the dead our mind in its busy thought is arrested
and called to answer, if we can, the question written intelligibly upon the
countenance of the sexton of old, as he leans upon his earth-worn spade, his
locks it may be tinged with the frosts of many winters, denoting his conflict:
Who ll be the next? How deep and lasting the impression as he says, I gather
them in; I gather them in.
As you pass near by,
or through the cemetery, just above our little village, your attention is
arrested by the slabs and monuments of marble, denoting the rapid stride of
mortality. Among them we see a fine Scotch granite marble monument, pointing
out the last resting place of Mrs. Rosa
Goodhue, who departed this life October
4, 1874, being 33 years and 11 days of age. She was afflicted with that
dread disease, consumption, from childhood. She bore her affliction with great
fortitude, She has left behind her a large circle of friends and relatives to
mourn her loss, and, so far as this life is concerned, lost to a kind husband, lost
to an aged Christian mother, lost to sisters and brothers. LOST! No, not lost,
but gone before. She has lain this tabernacle of clay down in peace. Elder H.R.
Cash was called to conduct the funeral services, using as a foundation for his
remarks the first part of the fifth chapter of Paul s second letter to the
church as Corinth, being appropriate for the occasion: For we know that if our
earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a
house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven, A
synopsis of the discourse ran as follows:
Israel s desire, while sojourning in the
wilderness, was to reach the land of promise, that God had sworn to give unto
them; to cross the Jordan, beyond which lay the land flowing with milk and
honey, wherein they should find a place of rest from all their wearisome
travels, the Holy city, the New Jerusalem, with its temple supplanting the old
tabernacle of Moses while in the wilderness, which was moved from place to
place at the bidding of God. To this temple
Seeing this mansion or house
or rest is eternal in the heavens, whose maker and builder is God, why should
we mourn to drop this, our house of flesh, and go to dwell eternally there, or
mourn departed loved ones, God, who doeth all things well, is the receiver of
the departed spirit and will give unto all as he wills while the body of the
loved companion of our esteemed friend, A.J. Goodhue, is mouldering
back to its mother dust, from whence it
came, the spirit has taken its flight from the sorrows and cares of this
world s wilderness to the spirit s land, to God who gave it, where no dread
disease shall ever come. Oh, how good is God in come. Oh, how good is God in his
greatness, and great in his goodness unto us. Jesus stands just beyond the
river or
Husband, I must be gone,
Prepare thou to meet me,
Cold the stream, but beyond
Stands Jesus to greet thee.
Mother, the time is come,
The trump sound to call me,
Be thou faithful now, and then
Death s grasp will not appal thee.
Sister, thy love has ever been
To me most kind and tender,
But God is love, and we have seen
To Him thy service render.
Brother, what shall I say to you?
My life is ebbing fast;
Embrace the cause of Jesus true,
And He will save at last.
Sister, thou wast
mild and lovely,
Gentle as the Summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be they silent slumber-
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Then no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then is heaven with joy to greet,
When no farewell tear is shed-

providence, to remove from our midst our beloved sister and companion, after a
lingering illness. She bore he affliction with that Christian fortitude that
becomes the child of God, having the full assurance that it was better for her
to depart and be with Christ. She lived a consistent member of the Christian
Church for 36 years, she had an amiable disposition, was a kind and
affectionate wife, and a mother to those of her household; beloved and
respected by all who knew her.  She leaves a
large circle of friends. She was ready to depart in peace and be with Christ.
She departed with the full assurance that Heaven would be her immortal home,
and invoked the blessing of God to rest upon her friend, Mrs. Jane Hays, who
had for many years made her home with her, as also the kind friends who stood
by her in the solemn hour and article of death, after which her soul took its
flight to that bright world above.-

We sympathise with
her kind friend and those who faithfully stood by hr
in all her affliction. We hope she will continue faithful and when called to
die will also, be able to leave the same testimony. I am going home,
farewell; meet me in Heaven. We ll miss thee but ere long we hope to be
reunited where we shall be able to
ascribe all praise to God and the Lamb. Farewell, mother. J.S.,

friends, at the funeral, of John Michel, on the 20th, caused by
remarks of the officiating minister, the Rev. E. Huber. During the discourse he
referred to his course in life, his terrible death, and unbelief in the
existence of God, when the friends left the church and exhibited bad feeling in
their acts and conversation. Considerable excitement prevailed for a time, but
quiet was restored and the ceremonies concluded with further difficulty.

Hers was a short but beautiful life. A clear,

and life; purified and exalted by divine grace, of which she was a professor
from early in life; from which time she was the joy of her parents, the light
of her home, an ornament of the society in which she moved and of the M.E.
Church with which she communed. One of the gentlest of women, ever manifesting
a sweet and contented spirit, which caused her to be recognized as an exemplar
of Christian virtue; a regular attendant upon the means of grace, an earnest
and unwearied servant of her Master; surrounded by a large circle of
affectionate friends, and a family connection with whom she was in the fullest
sympathy, often expressing her deep and tender regret to part from them, yet
rejoicing in prospect of a better inheritance; in the bloom of youth, and with
every reason to desire to live; but in the midst of all the unseen hand of the
dark messenger knocked at the door of her earthly tabernacle, calling her to
the bosom of Him who said:
Let not your heart be
troubled; I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there
may ye be also.

passed of the shore of time, leaving fond parents and loving friends with the

Coroners Inquest
Upon the Body of a Child Found Dead in
On the 4th, the dead body of a male
child was found near the residence of Frederick Witchey,
in Lee township, this county. John Muhleman, Esq.,
Coroner of the county, was notified and immediately summoned the following
Jury:
Isaac Gehring, Jacob
Marty, Peter Rahm, Fredrick Haldman, Randolph Marty
and Samuel Grossenbacher.
The
Evidence.
Joseph Ingold, being
duly sworn, testified as follows:
I left the house in the morning to go and
cradle oats; going down the run about fifty yards from the house, saw between
two logs, wrapped in a dress, what I supposed to be a child. Then went back to
the house to inform the folks; returned immediately and found it to be a dead
child and carried it up into the house.
Miss Ann Suter
sworn.- I am the mother of the child; it was born about 1 o clock a.m., on
the 4th of August, 1875; it was born alive; I wrapped it up in my
own dress, which I don t know whether I had off or on; went to the light, which
was on a barrel, for the purpose of getting a pair of scissors to cut the cord;
took it to the light with me, then turned back with the light and babe and
scissors to the bed; then cut the cord, after which I found the child to be
dead. I wrapped it up again and laid it behind me and kept it until 4 o clock a.m.
I then got up and took it out through the orchard and down into the run and
laid it by a stump; it wasn t light enough to see. I then went back to the
house again. While it was wrapped up and I went to the light and back my wishes
were that it would die; and during my pregnancy my wishes were that it would be
still-born, but I never had any intention of killing it. I believe my wrapping
it up was the cause of its death.
Dr. E.A. Wehrman
sworn- Examined the body of the (male) child. I found the heart normal and the
lungs floated, I believe the child died of asphyxia, caused by violence,
partly.
The
Verdict
After hearing the evidence, we do find that
the deceased came to its death by, or was caused by, violence partly, by the
wrapping up by its mother, Ann Suter.

weeks, some time ago, with the same disease and his life despaired of, but provilentially had so far recovered that he took a trip to
Glencoe, a few days previous to his death, producing a relapse which speedily
terminated his life in a few days after reaching home. His funeral was attended by the largest concourse of
people we ever witnessed upon a similar occasion.
Undoubtedly we have lost one of our best
citizens, and one who is be missed by the entire county. He died as he had
lived, a Christian gentleman, giving evidence in his death that there is a
power in the religion of Jesus Christ to sustain, even in that trying hour.

Once upon a time, when Swift was young, there were a couple of types called SequenceOf
and GeneratorOf
, and they could type erase stuff. “Type erase?” you may ask. “I thought we loved types.” We do. Don’t worry. Our types aren’t going anywhere. But sometimes we want them to be a little less…precise.
In Swift 2, our little type erasers got a rename and some friends. Now they’re all named “Any”-something. So SequenceOf
became AnySequence
and GeneratorOf
became AnyGenerator
and there are a gaggle of indexes and collections from AnyForwardIndex
to AnyRandomAccessCollection
.
So what are these type erasers? Let’s start with how to use one and we’ll work backwards to why.
let seq = AnySequence([1,2,3])
This creates an AnySequence<Int>
. It’s just a sequence of Ints that we can iterate over. Isn’t [1,2,3]
also a sequence of Ints we can iterate over? Well, yeah. But it’s also explicitly an Array. And sometimes you don’t want to have to deal with that kind of implementation detail.
Who Needs Types Like That?
Let’s consider a little more complicated case:
let xs = [1,2,3]
let ys = ["A","B","C"]
let zs = zip(xs.reverse(), ys.reverse())
// Zip2Sequence<ReverseRandomAccessCollection<Array<Int>>, ReverseRandomAccessCollection<Array<String>>>
That’s quite a type. Imagine it as the return type of a function:
func reverseZip<T,U>(xs: [T], _ ys: [U]) -> Zip2Sequence<ReverseRandomAccessCollection<[T]>, ReverseRandomAccessCollection<[U]>> {
return zip(xs.reverse(), ys.reverse())
}
That’s insane. Let’s not do that. Not only is the type overwhelming, but it ties us to this particular implementation. We might want to refactor the code like this:
return zip(xs, ys).reverse()
Then the return type would change to [(T,U)]
and all the callers would have to be updated. Clearly we’re leaking too much information about our implementation. What’s the point of reverseZip
? Is it to return a Zip2Sequence<...>
? No. It’s to return a sequence of tuples. We want a type that means “a sequence of tuples.” Often we use Array
for that, but there’s an even less restrictive way that doesn’t require making an extra copy: AnySequence
.
func reverseZip<T,U>(xs: [T], _ ys: [U]) -> AnySequence<(T,U)> {
return AnySequence(zip(xs, ys).reverse())
}
Now we can keep our implementation details private. If we have some internal sequence type, we don’t have to share it with our callers. We just give them what they need and no more.
Notice that AnySequence
is not a protocol. It’s a generic struct
that wraps another sequence. You can’t use an [Int]
in a place that expects an AnySequence<Int>
. You still want to use SequenceType
for parameters in most cases.
These “Any” type erasers also aren’t like Any
and AnyObject
, which are protocols that just “hide” the type. You can still as!
an AnyObject
back to its original type. AnySequence
and its kin completely encapsulate the underlying data. You can’t get the original back. This creates a very strong abstraction layer and strengthens type safety by making as!
casting impossible.
The new names worry me a little because they make it look like AnyObject
and AnySequence
are the same kind of thing when they’re not. But the new naming convention is definitely more flexible. You couldn’t have named the AnyIndex
types using the old ...Of
convention. So, I’m getting used to the new names.
Chains of Association
Hopefully by now you’re sold on why you’d want to use a type eraser. But would you ever want to build one? Let’s look at an example that comes up pretty often around associated types in protocols.
 Seems easy:
for animal in grassEaters {
animal.feed(Grass())
}
Now we just have to create this array of grass eaters. Should be simple, right? Hmmm…
let grassEaters = [Cow(), Goat()] // error: '_' is not convertible to 'Goat'
That’s a weird error. We probably just need to be explicit about the the type.
let grassEaters: [Animal] = [Cow(), Goat()]
// error: protocol 'Animal' can only be used as a generic constraint because it has Self or associated type requirements
We all know that error, don’t we? OK, let’s try generics.
let grassEaters: [Animal<Grass>] = [Cow(), Goat()]
// error: protocol 'Animal' can only be used as a generic constraint because it has Self or associated type requirements
Still? Oh right. You can’t specialize an associated type using generic syntax. That’s fine, we’ll just make the protocol generic.
protocol Animal<Food> {
func feed(food: Food)
}
// error: Statement cannot begin with a closure expression
Right, protocols can’t be generic. Type-safety is for chumps. Let’s go back to Objective-C.
…Or maybe type erasure is what we need. Let’s build AnyAnimal
. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest in my opinion is with closures.
struct AnyAnimal<Food>: Animal {
private let _feed: (Food) -> Void
init<Base: Animal where Food == Base.Food>(_ base: Base) {
_feed = base.feed
}
func feed(food: Food) { _feed(food) }
}
(While this works exactly like AnySequence
, this isn’t how AnySequence
is implemented. In my next post I’ll discuss why and how to implement type erasers like stdlib does.)
Now we can make grassEaters
:
let grassEaters = [AnyAnimal(Cow()), AnyAnimal(Goat())] // Type is [AnyAnimal<Grass>]
But we still get type safety if we try to incorrectly mix our animals:
let mixedEaters = [AnyAnimal(Cow()), AnyAnimal(Bird())]
// error: type of expression is ambiguous without more context
This kind of type eraser lets us convert a protocol with associated types into a generic type. That means we can put it in properties and return values and other places that we can’t use protocols directly. As you use more protocols in your Swift (and you should be), I think this will become an important tool in your toolbelt.
 Focus on the protocol, hide the implementation.
