DIED-At Elkhorn, Wisconsin, on
Wednesday, December 18th, 1878, j
Wylie Sankey. The funeral was held
at the Methodist Church Sunday fore
noon, December 22d and was largely
attended.
Mr.. Sankey was the publisher and
jointly with his wife, Mrs. Dora j
Sankey, the proprietor Of the Walworth
County Independent. His health fail
ing, he left Missouri and came north a
year and more ago for q change of. eli.
mate in hopes of Improvement of his
health. He bought the Walworth
County Independent, assigned the edi-
torial duties to his wife, and took
charge of all the rest himself But
his health continued to fail as pulmon-
airy consumption advanced, and his life
was brought to a close by that fell
destroyer.
The Independent has been ably con-
ducted since the Sankey's have had the
charge Of it, 1t has probably suffered
somewhat in It's business affairs in
consequence Of Mr.. Sankey sickness,
and perhaps also in it's editorial man
agement; but it has fully held it's own
and made some improvement since the
Sankey's came in charge of it.
Mrs. Sankey feeling inadequate to
the conduct Of the Independent alone,
it has been sold to Messrs. Park and
Treat who took control of it January
l, 1879. la
