| OBITUARY.
Rapid City Dakota, Journal: Died,
in Rapid City, Monday January 20,
| 1902, Charles w. Greene, of apoplexy,
! aged fitty-eight years, six months and
seventeen days.
| Never more will the Journal re-
porter chronicle the coming and going
of &C. w. Greene, special timber
agent" for he was called suddenly
yesterday to another world. Rapid
City people can scarcely believe that
he only yesterday was jolly and full
of repartee now lies cold in death
but so it is. The summons came sud-
denly and without warning Mr..
Greene was in the land office, where
testimony is a land case was being
taken, when his hand began to feel
numb. He began to rub it and spoke
of it to a friend. The numbness ex-
tended to his shoulder and then to his
side. Someone then tried to help him
to his feet, and when he could not lift
his leg he looked up with his charac-
teristic drollery and said, ''I'll do that
| tomorrow"
I Those were his last words on earth,
for even then the hand of death was
upon him. He sank in stupor from
which he never recovered. His stroke
came at three o'clock and although all
was done that could be at five min
utes after seven he breathed his last
About five o'clock he was removed to
the Jester house and Miss Cliff install
led as nurse, but her services were not
required long.
Mrs Greene is now in Des Moines.
Rev. and Mrs. c. B. Clark, of Dead
wood, came on the evening train. Mrs.
Clark is sister of Mrs. Greene, and
she will accompany the body to Des
Moines this evening. Funeral ser
vices will be held this afternoon at 3
o'clock in Harvey Post rooms, under
the auspices of the G. A. r., Rev. w.
II. Sparing officiating.

many friends all over the Hills and
| where he was known will be win them
in their hour Of afliction.
