He was sick but three days with blood poison, caused from a small bruised place on a finger.
Death is a hard master.
He would take from us our best, but he can not ever mar memory. It will serve as balm to the wounded heart. The body was brought to Nickerson to the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Greene. The funeral services were held in the Christian church, Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Van Dolan, and interrment made in the Nickerson cemetery.
