Aledo, April 1 - E.E. Emrick, 70, Aledo banker and merchant whose business enterprises also extended to Carthage and LaHarpe, died at 12:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon in his home at Aledo. Complications following a paralytic stroke were stated as the cause of death.
Mr. Emrick was born in Fountain Green, Aug. 18, 1864, the son of Jacob and Nancy Emrick. He attended the schools of that community, later going to Carthage and attending high school and college there.
