Death in Philippines.

Mrs. I. T. Stanford received a letter
last week from her son Fred Moore, con-
frming the report which was current
here some We ks ago, OF the death of his
brother Edison B. Moore who with Fred,
was serving in the Philippines. Edson's
death occurred on Sept. 3, and was occa-
stoned by the climate and conditions in,
cident to army lie. He was sick for a
considerable time, but on duty up to
within seven days of his death. He
still kept around however until about
eleven hours before his death when he
became unconscious and rema ned so
until the end came. He was buried in
the soldiers burying ground in Iloilo.
His brother writes that he was well
cared Tor which will be consolation to
the bereaved mother and friends. His
body will be taken up for transporta-
ton to his home January /. The sym
patty of the community will be extended
to the mother in this sad bereavement.
Eighteen years ago her husband the
father OF young Moore was brought
home dead, having been caught in the
wheels in the pulp mill where he worked,
and terribly mangled. Nine years ago
her little daughter was laid away. She
has had much to sadden her life, and the
sympathy and kindly feeling of neighbors
and friends will be much appreciated.
