The remains will be brought here for burial in Woodbury cemetery. Miss Grace Gibson and brother, Rodger, who have been visiting here departed Tuesday morning on the early train for their home.

He leaves a wife and four children beside four brothers and two sisters: John, of Austin; George, Jo and Will, of Duluth; Mary Gibson and Rose Hildreth, of Pasadena, Cal. The father and mother are both dead. The remains arrived in Lyle on the noon train Thursday and a short funeral service was held at the Woodbury cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest. Rev. S.
