Chas. ketcham After Long and Pa
tent Suffering Passes Away.
Chas, Ketcham. for many years a
respected citizen of Van Buren,, died last
Saturday at p, IN. at his residence in
Fsirmount addition.
For three years past the deceased has
felt his approaching doom. At that
time a malignant cancer developed on
his lip and grsdu Ally but surely sapped
away his strength, but he WAS not a
man to give up and until within few
months he could be seen on the streets
following his business. More recently,
however. his strength began to fail and
he was compelled to take to his bed
from which he knew he would never
rise.
The deceased was a member Of the
Masonic order and the funeral, Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, was conducted
under the auspices of the order.
To the family of the deceased the
entire community extends its sincere
sympathy.
