Obituary,

Death of Fred McGray

Fred McGray, the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. McGray, died here on Monday at one o'clock a.m. He was twenty-two years old, and his death was the end of a long siege of sickness. He was attacked by typhoid April 27 last, at Grand Forks. His father and brothers were his constant attendants until he was able to be moved here nearer home. Here they watched over him tenderly, and everything possible was done for him. He was a fine young man with every promise of a successful future.

The body was taken to Villard, and the funeral there was at eleven o'clock this forenoon, the Rev. E. M. Ruddock, Methodist, officiating.

The deceased besides his parents left three brothers Carl, Frank and Claude, and a sister Maud.
