Mr. Atwood had reached the age of 83 years, 9 months, and 7 days having been born in Warwickshire England March 1 1833. He came to this country in his young manhood and about 1870 he and his family came to Nebraska and located in Richardson County where they lived until the death of his wife a few weeks ago, after which Mr. Atwood came to make his home with his daughter. He was a man who stood very high in the estimation of the people in the community where he lived for so many years and his passing will be genuinely regretted. Mr. Atwood is survived by four sons, Rev W.C. Atwood of Brookfield MO, and Charles W. Theodore G., and Benjamin D., all of whom live in Richardson county and by one daughter, Mrs. Wilkinson of this city.
This is the third time within a brief period that Mrs. Wilkinson has been called to mourn the death of one bound to her by family ties. The death of her mother occurred a short time ago; last week her brother J. Ellsworth Atwood died at Beaver City and now her father haps passed into the beyond. In these afflictions she has the sincere sympathy of many Auburn friends. The funeral of Mr. Atwood was held Friday at 1:00 o'clock from Prospect Church located near the old home in Richardson county
