Dead-John Seitr. Trustee Of HARRISON
township.

On last Saturday afternoon Mr..
JoHS SErrz, aged about 80 years,
died of typhoid fever, at his home
in Haysville.
Mr.. Seitz was one OF the best
knowd citizens Of HARRISON township
having an extensive acquaintance
through his efforts, as President OF
the Buck Shoals Silver Mining Co.
to develop that mining property,
and interest capital in il. He was
also at the time of his death Trus-
tee of the township, having been
elected to that position in 1894, and
has given general satisfaction as a
public office. He was a member of
the Lutheran church and a charter
member Of Haysville Lodge A.O.U.
w. He leaves widow and eight
children all young. Only a
few days prior his death he was
in Jasper apparently in good health,
and in good spirits over the pros
poets of the silver mine, declaring
that it would prove a better invest
ment than going to Klondike, both
for silver and gold, and that he ex-
pected to live to enjoy in ease the
product Of his long labors there.
His funeral, on Sunday afternoon
at o o'clock, was largely attended
from all the northern part of the
county. He was buried in the
Haysville grave yard, Rev. j..
keerl officiating for the church, and
Rev. j. /. Gregory, for the A. o..
u. W. The Lutheran choir under
the direction Of Mr.. George Nix,
rendered some five vocal music,
while the audience all joined in
singing during the filling of the
grave.
As citizen Mr.. Seitz was always
public spirited and enterprising, as
a husband and father was loving
and faithful, as a church member
was dutiful and attentive, as a
workman was loyal and earnest,
and will be sadly missed in all
these circles, and his family will
have universal sympathy. Requi-
escat en- pace.
