Worcester (Wooster) Holcomb, aged seventy-five years, was found dead in bed Monday morning having retired in his usual condition of health Sunday evening. The doctor gave it as his opinion that he had expired immediately after retiring. He had been in rather poor health for quite sometime.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon with services at the house, conducted by Revs. Edward and Peter Doherty, and burial in the Mazonmanie Cemetery.
Deceased was a bachelor and lived with his sister Lulu in his last few years. He is survived by five brothers and three sisters; John E. of Randolph, S.D.; George of Washington D.C.; Ernest of Minneapolis, Minn.; Willis D. and Frank C. of Mazomanie, Wisc.; Mrs. Florence E. Blake of Millette, S.D.; Mrs. Jeaneatte "Nettie" E. Coutts of Mankato, Minn.; and Mis Lulu I. who resided with her brother. All, with the exception of the two sisters residing in the west, were present at the funeral, also Mrs. John Holcomb, and a nephew, Virgil Holcomb and his wife.
Card of Thanks: we wish to express our most sincere thanks to our friends for the kindness, sympathy, and beautiful floral offerings tendered during the sad hours of our bereavement.
