whose death was mentioned in our last
issue, was the oldest son of the late William

ago leaving him the only survivor of the
Immediate family. Bert was nearly TWEEN
ty-seven years old. After the death of his
parents he lived with Mr.. and Mrs. w. IL.
Martin and later with other parties in Bar
ton for time. About seven years ago he
married Lena M, only daughter of Geo. w.
Buzzell, with whom they have since lived.
For some time before his death he had
worked for Ill. T. Seaver. He was pleas
ant young man, of kindly disposition and
made many friends among his associates.
Mr.. BuzzeH states that during the time he
resided with him that he never heard Bert
speak cross word to any member of the
family. He was sick about nine weeks; at
first his condition was not thought to be
very serious, but Inflammation of the bowels

the joints and muscles, and slow fever.
Later the rheumatism went to his heart
and then to the brain causing him to be
delirious during the last three weeks be-
fore his death. During the last Of his
