Death OF william N. SlIIoway

The announcement OF the death ol
| William N. Silloway, which occurred
at his late home on Maple street last
Saturday noon, although hourly ex-
pected for several days, came as a
shock to his large circle of acquaint-
ances and friends in this county, and
especially in this town and Elmore,
where he had resided practically his
whole life. He vas taken i'll on Sat
nrday night, just two weeks previous
to his death with severe cold, which
very soon developed into typhoid
pneumonia, the disease having such
hold that from the first his recov.
cry was doubtful. The end came as
relief from intense suffering a few
minutes after noon oD Saturday,
May 27.
Funeral services were held at his
late home on Maple street Monday
afternoon, Rev. o M. Boutwell, Of
Hyde Park officiating, assisted by
Rev. P. A. Smith of the NJ. E church
in Morrisville. The funeral was very
largely attended and the floral tribute
was unusually large and beautiful
All of the brothers and sisters and
children of the deceased, whose names
are given below, were present with
their families. Interment was in
Pleasant View Cemetery.

the funeral, besides the near relatives,

in the town affairs of Elmore and rep
resented that town in the Legislature
of 1900. He was a man who com.
manded the respect and esteem of all
