Times 18 Mar 1875 DIED - SIDDALL -- In Vernon Springs township, Howard County, Iowa, on Monday, March 15th, 1875, James Siddall, aged 62 years. Deacon James Siddall, after a brief illness of one week, died at his residence near Cresco, at 7 o'clock last Monday morning. He was a native of Canada, and emigrated with his family to the state of Illinois in 1839. In 1854 he came to this county and purchased as a claim the farm now owned by Mr. Lewis, two miles east of New Oregon. That place he sold after a few months and purchased the one where he has so long lived and where he died. He had been for many years a much-valued and beloved member and deacons of the Baptist church. The old settlers of this county, as well as many others who have more recently come to this regions, can bear testimony to Deacon Siddall's blameless life, to his integrity and up rightness in all his intercourse and dealings with his fellow men; a most kind and obliging neighbor. In his death his family has lost a kind, loving husband and father, the community a valuable citizen and the church one of its main pillars. The members of the Baptist church feel a sense of bereavement in the death of their beloved Deacon, second only to that of the family connections. Deacon Siddall was buried on Tuesday; but in consequence of the severity of the storm the sermon and other religious services were postponed until Sabbath the 28th last at 11 a.m. at the Vernon Springs school house, As the deceased was one of the early settlers of this region, it is hoped a goodly number of that class will be present on that occasion. The services will be conducted by Rev. C. E. Brown, of Lime Springs.

Introduction As explained in the main report one of the components of the enrichment process is the target vocabulary. The selection of the target against which the enrichment will be performed, being a dataset of cultural objects or a specific knowledge organization system, needs to be carefully done. In many cases the selection of the appropriate target for the source data will determine the quality of the enrichments. The Task Force recommends users to re-use existing targets when performing enrichments as it increases interoperability between datasets and reduces redundancies between the different targets1.

  • An Ecological and Distributional Analysis of Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus Longaeva)
    An Ecological and Distributional Analysis of Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) Gregory Watson Taylor A thesis submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Steven L. Petersen, Chair Loreen A. Flinders Stanley G. Kitchen Department of Plant and Wildlife Sciences Brigham Young University Copyright © 2018 Gregory Watson Taylor All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT An Ecological and Distributional Analysis of Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) Gregory Watson Taylor Department of Plant and Wildlife Sciences, BYU Master of Science Understanding the impacts of climate change is critical for improving the conservation and management of ecosystems worldwide. Ecosystems vary along a precipitation and temperature gradient, ranging from tropical jungles to arid deserts. The Great Basin is a semi- arid eco-region that is found within the western United States. Plant communities within the Great Basin range from sagebrush valleys to sub-alpine conifer forests found at high elevation areas. It is predicted that the Great Basin will experience prolonged periods of drought, more intense fires, and greater variability in average annual and monthly precipitation, all in response to changes in climate patterns. At the lower elevations, sagebrush communities are expected to experience less suitable habitat conditions, however, less is understood about vegetation response at upper elevations. Understanding forest composition and structure at these upper elevations within the Great Basin will help us better understand potential impacts from climate change. In chapter 1, we characterized Pinus longaeva (Great Basin bristlecone pine D.K. Bailey) forest structure and composition. We mapped this tree species distribution and characterized forest structure and composition using a sampling protocol that included both biophysical variables and individual tree characteristics.
