Joseph Arpin
Much was the surprise to our citizens when they learned that the family of Mr. Arpin had received a telegram from Chicago, where he had gone to be doctored, that he could not live longer than 24 hours; then soon after, another came announcing his death. He died Sunday July 1, 1894, age 44 years 1 month and 9 days.
He was born in Kankakee County, Illinois, May 22, 1850 and came to Cloud County sixteen years ago; for the last few years he had been living in Clyde; for a while engaged in buying grain and lastly in the flour and feed business. Mr. Arpin was a live energetic man, known as such by all and universally respected; he had been on the down grade, in health for several months; still he kept up his usual energies to such an extent that, but few seems to know he was, physically in a bad condition. He kept o getting worse until he came to the conclusion that his only hope was to go to Chicago for treatment; so, some two weeks ago he bade adieu to his family for that purpose, perhaps little realizing that to be the last time he would see them on this earth. Before dying he gave evidence that he was prepared to go.
He was a member of the Catholic church. We are glad to learn that he had an insurance on his life, in the Modern Woodman of America of $3,000 besides owning a farm, near this city consisting of 160 acres.
He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss.

Joe Arpin, who went to Chicago a few weeks ago for treatment, died in that city, Monday morning last. On account of the delay of trains it was not possible to send the body home for interment, so he was buried near Chicago.
Joe has lived in this vicinity for several years and was one of our successful farmers, as well as businessmen.
His death is a severe blow to his wife and children.
He had an insurance policy of $3,000 in the M. W. of A., besides owning a farm.
