Danbman There has been a good deal of talk about the Upper Alton business district since the passing of W. D. Barnard last week as to whom the distinction of being the oldest Business man in Upper Alton now falls. Since the matter has been extensively discussed among themselves those who have been active in the district over a period of years have concluded that Marls R. Daubman lonsorlal artist of Washington avenue can claim it.

It is close to 45 years since Mr. Daubman entered tin- shop of Isaac Baker to learn the barber trade. The shop, a little frame building, stood close to the present location of the Daubman shop. It was wrecked about 40 years ago when the row of business buildings on the west side of Washington avenue was erected by a syndicate. Next in line In years' service among those active in business are Miss Belle Black, Ray and Will Stork all of whom are runners up In seniority of the years of service The retired list of those not active now in the business district Includes Frank K.

Lowe, John Leverett, Charles E. Mewogen, Bar Dalley and Steve Crawford. The last ten or twelve years has made inroads in the personnel of the business district and most of those who have died in that length of time were men identified practically all their lives with business here, and most were only slightly past middle age at the time of death. A person who might have been away from Alton for a dozen years returning to the elty and being told that Oal Streeper, Will Barnard, Frank Loehr, Park Webster, Robert Crawford, Candy Dan Klttlnger, John Henry, Dr. Harry Bwnap, Prank Sargent, Jim Johnson, Dr.

Lathy Yerkes, Will Dalley, John Still, William Black, Lathy Waggoner, Miss Nellie Hovey, J. T. King, Dr. Harry Barnett, George Nevlln, and Jacob Solomon had died the visitor would probably conclude that this Is not the Upper Alton he creeks of the neighborhood have had little water within their banks but today it was said there was a good deal of water running.
