Ontario, died in that place July II,
after protracted illness. He had
been railroad engineer, and some time

thought to have been the cause of a

Massachusetts, where he went to put
his two little children in the care of
sister. He was man of excellent
character and had many friends

has many relatives and friends here
who mourn his loss.
