30.-Philip Bruce Fleming, second son
of Winfield D. Fleming and Alice, his
wife, died yesterday morning about two
o'clock, and was buried from the NJ. E.
church, South, this afternoon at $3.50.
He was born in Ravenswood twenty

ing in disposition, yet he possessed a
warm heart that deeply endeared him to
all his friends and relatives. Upright
in character, he made and held a place
that was unquestioned in the esteem
of all who knew him. A year ago he
had an attack of grippe, which left his
constitution so enfeebled that consump-
ton followed and his decline was steady
and rapid from that time on. His
father and mother, two sisters and two
brothers have the deep sympathy of
many friends.
