The sad news came to us Yesterday
of the death on Wednesday evening of
Nelson Russell, the manly little cream
gatherer and son of r. w. Russell. He
was Is years of age and more promising
lad cannot be found. Words cannot tell
the sympathy which all this community
will feel for the afflicted father and mother
and the only brother, NJ. W. Russell, who
did not reach home from Orono, Me-,
where he is attending college until after
the death. For several months Mrs. Rus
sell has been critically i'll and needed the
care of her husband much of the time
and Nelson had taken his fathers place
upon the cream wagon and by his pleas
ant face and cheerful voice, faithful work
and courtesy won the confidence and love
of all the patrons of the creamery, and all
will feel deep personal loss in his death.
The funeral will be held tomorrow, when
there will be prayer at the house at 1880
O'Clock, and services at the chapel at l.
