Mercer county residents were notified by air-mail last week that Robert Holmes dropped dead on the streets of St. Paul, Minn., Sunday, January 11. He was identified by letters and papers in his pockets.
Mr. Holmes had visited his nieces Mrs. Jennie Cabeen near Aledo, Mrs. Ora Hamilton in Keithsburg and Mrs. Ada Criswell in Seaton a few weeks ago and was evidently enroute for his home at Ponoka, Alberta, Can., when he was stricken near the Union railroad station.
He would have been 82 next March. His early home was in the Seaton community, but had lived at Aledo a number of years before moving to Canada.
