Obituary

OBITUARY.

Andrew Thompson, who has made Lyle his home for the past 17 years, died Sunday afternoon about 4:30, in his room over Andrew Olson's saloon, after a couple days illness.

The deceased was born on the farm now occupied by Henning Grube, a couple miles south of Mona, on the 4th day of November 1857, and was the youngest of a family of 5 children. An occurrence which seems very singular is that he was buried on the same farm.

OBITUARY.

The expected death always comes as a blow to those who are near and dear and even tho they may be at the bedside of the failing one awaiting the silent messenger, the loss comes with no less force, but is often increased by the thought of the suffering of the last days of earthly trial. So it was with the family who last Saturday were bereaved of the loving care of the husband and father, A. O. Fossey, who passed away after a few weeks of suffering from cancer of the stomach.

Death of Lloydie Sherman

A sad event occurred last Sunday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Sherman, in the death of their little two-year-old son, Lloyd. The little fellow, being their only child, was a joy and pride of their household, and to say that their grief was hard to bear is putting it mildly. Just a week previous to his death he was taken sick with scarlet fever, which developed so severely that medical aid could not save him. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon and the remains were buried in the Mona cemetery.

The remains of Mrs. Wheeler were taken through Osage Tuesday noon from Waterloo to Mona for interment. Mrs. Wheeler kept a hotel at Mona for a number of years.

Interment Wednesday in Mona cemetery. --Press.
