The Yale expositor., 1898-06-10
AT REST.

All that was mortal of George Drum
mond, one of Yale's popular young
men, was laid at rest on Wednesday
June Sth, in Lynn cemetery beside his
father who preceded hlm several
years. George, or "Drummle" as he
was more familiarly known among his
associates, was born in Lynn township,
st. Clair county, on the 10th of April,
and spent his boyhood in that town
ship, like the rest of country boys.
He came to Yale 10 years ago with his
mother, who had secured a position in
our public schools. About eight or
nine years ago George entered The EX-
positor office as an apprentice, serving
his time, and afterwards filled the po.
sition of foreman with ability and
faithfulness. Less than year ago he
took notion to see more of the
worlds horizon than the village of
Yale could give him, he severed his
connection with The Expositor office,
and took to the road to better his for
tune and improve his mind, and like
most of young men in like circum-
stances, probably got an experience
in the rough and tumble life of q
travelling journeyman, which, had he
liyed, would no doubt haye been of
great value to him in tougheniug his
mental fibre and fitting him to occupy
better positions in his chosen profess
ion. However, going from place to
place, and while in Kansas City he
contracted cold in his head which
developed into an abscess, Fastening
home, where he arrived just few
days before his death, he received all
the care that loying hearts and tender
hands could bestow, which with the
best of medical skill was all of no
avail, for on Monday morning at
O'Clock his spirit took its flight to the
other shore, leaving host of sorrow
ing friends to mourn his early demise.
George had genial, kindly disposi-
ton, and was well liked by everybody
with whom he associated. lie Joined
the NJ. =. church several years ago,
and among the young people of that
society was an excellent worker. He
was member of the Fire Company
of the village, and also held a 1000
certificate In the Maccabees.
Funeral services were held at the NJ.
p. church, conducted by Rev. Saigon,
the Maccabees escorting the procession
TO the cemetery.
His mother and one sister, MAY, sur
vive him, and are almost heart-broken
at the cutting down of the young life
of their only son and brother. They
have the sympathy of The Expooitor
staff in this their sad hour of affiiction.
