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.

The funeral of the late Martin Seaverson was largely attended Monday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. Waldeland of St. Ansgar. Interment was made in Sunny Side Cemetery.

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.

We are sorry to learn that Louis Sherman and wife have been saddened by the loss of their little one, Lloyd, from scarlet fever. They have sincere sympathy from the Lyle people in their bereavement.

Peter Hanson, aged 72 years, died Sept. 7. He was born in Denmark and came to Freeborn county in 1869. He came to Lyle in 1874 and opened a harness shop which he conducted until last spring. He leaves a widow and six children. Interment at Mona.

Martin Severson, an old settler living north of this village, died Thursday. Funeral Monday at Mona church.

Letters to the Editor
Coal power plant

Dear Editor:
The proposal by Wisconsin Dairyland Power to build a modern day dinosaur as a coal-burning power plant in Mona, IA, a rural community in Mitchell county, near the Minnesota border, not only sickens me, but waves numerous red danger flags as to the lack of regard Dairyland Power has for the land or its residents.
