Death Of william Parsons. y.

Another name has been added to the
long list Of the victims of that dread
disease, tuberculosis. William E.
Parsons of the town of Fahlun passed
to his eternal rest last Thursday,
after an illness of a little over a year.
During the winter of 190O-M he had a
siege of smallpox. He never quite re-
covered his former health, and after
q while It became evident that in his
weakened condition the seeds of Tub
erculosis had developed. He sought
medical aid in several places and also
made a trip to the Pacific coast in
the hope of regaining health, but it
was all in vain, and he returned to
his old home in Fahlun to. pass his
last days there.
William E. Parsons was born in
town of Fahlun on February l6, 1872,
and had thus attained the age of 80
years, two months and days. He
lived on the old homestead all the
time, with the exception of q few years
spent in the employ of G. P. Karwand
of this city. He was q genial good
natured young man, who made friends
everywhere, and leaves q host OF
friends to mourn his untimley death.
The immediate survivors are his aged
father, Peter Parsons; his brother, J..
Henry Parsons, and q sister, Miss
Hattie Parsons.
The funeral took place last Sunday
afternoon at two O'Clock, from the
house. Revs. Wahlquist and Carlson
conducted the ceremonies. The long
funeral procession, headed by about
Is members of the NJ. w. A., of which
order the deceased was q member,
marched to the Methodist church in
Fahlun. Here appropriate services
were conducted, after which the re-
mains were Inferred in the cemetery of
that church.
Parsons carried a life insurance
policy of 81, 900 in the M. w. A. which
amount will be paid to his father.
