Morris, Minn.-The sad news reach
ed the city Monday morning OF last
week from Duluth that p F. Church
had at last succumbed to the ravages
OF the disease with which he has been
suffering since last winter. Mr.. Church
had been suffering with cancer of the
bowels, and realizing the serious ma
ture OF the malady, all possible efforts
were made to find treatment which
would relieve him, it being apparent
after various prominent physicians,
among them being DR.. Mayo. of
Rochester, had been consulted regard
ing his case, that ultimate recovery
could not be hoped for. Mr. Church,
after having tried other means Of Sc
curing relief, at last went to Duluth,
where he placed himself under the care
OF chiropractic physician. For a
time he seemed to gain relief from the
treatment given him, but he later grew
worse, until finally it was thought best
to perform an operation. Even this
failed to have any effect. and death fol-
lowed shortly. Deceased was born in
Wright county, this state, and was
forty-four years of age.
