W. , at whose home he died after a two weeks illness with pneumonia. The funeral was held at the home Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Conducted by Rev. J. O. Thrush. He became a Christian in early manhood and was accustomed to attend the Friend's church here when they had services. He was a faithful and kind father and will be missed in the home circle where he received devoted care during his last years.
The body was laid to rest at Riverside to sleep till night shall be no more.
The sons wish to express through the News their hearty appreciation of the kindness of their many friends including the Woodmen and Royal Neighbors In this time of their great sorrow.
