BUTLERVILLE
One more old comrad has answered the last roll call. James W. Clarkson died at his home in the southern part of town, last Wednesday, after a lingering illness for over a year. His death was no surprise. In the dark days of the civil war he went to the front and in the hardships of camp life, he contracted diseases that he nover got over. He was a good citizen; he served one term as commissioner and four years as post master at Butlerville.
He leaves his aged companion, one son and three daughters to mourn their loss. They have the sympathy of all.
Funeral services were conducted at the house Sunday morning by Rev. Chesley Holmes, of Vernon, in the presence of a large crowd. The I.O.O.F. had charge of the final interment. He was laid to rest in the Butlerville Cemetery.
