OBITUARY. To-day the duty devoves up
on us to make record of the sad event of the
death of William b. Trundv. At the very
threshold of life, active, strong, enterpris-
ing and eminently endowed with qualitica-
tlons for successful business career he
was suddenly stricken down, conspicuously
verifying the familiar adage, Death coyets
the shining mark" He was born in Sears
port, July 9, 1878, and received his early
education at the town schools. In June,
1888, he was appointed assistant postmaster.
He rapidly mastered the duties of the office,
and the excellent record which the office had
maintained was continued, and improved
largely by his close study of the regulations,
and his untiring efforts. He made friends
OF all with whom he came in contact. and
the more intimate the business relation
the stronger the bond of friendship. About
two weeks ago he was attacked with the
grip, which soon developed into pneu-
monia. His physicians were we'll assured
OF his recovery up to Sunday but complica-
tons in the disease took place, his strength
rapidly failed, and he died Monday after
noon, April sd. No death for long time
has shocked the community so much as did
this death. 1t has cast gloom over the en-
tire village Few young men have made for
themselves. a better reputation, showing
prominently that the most valuable posses
sion for time and for eternity is character
The consolation to his relativaS and friends
is in the remembrance that he is only gone
from this narrow sphere to wider one of
usefulness beyond. The funeral will be
held this, Thursday, afternoon at go
o'clock
