Sunday evening a little before nine
o'clock at his residence in this city,
John McCrimmon. one of our Oldest

been in rather poor health for a long
time, but his condition was not con-
sidered serious until last Monday af
ternoon, when he was suddenly strick-
en- down with an acute attack Of the
kidneys. He grew steadily worse, his
physician from the first having very
little hope, but his strong vitality
sustained him through six days of in
tense suffering. The end came peace
fully at last. and he died surrounded
by all the members of his immediate
family exce~>f his eldest son. who IS
somewhere in the great n..nlng region
of the south. and who could not be
reached by telegraph or telephone.

therefore in his seventy-fourth year.
He came to tn eUnited States young
and was a thorough American in
thought and feeling. He served three
years in a Minnesota regiment during
the civil war and was an honored
member of Custer Post from the date
/ of its organization For many years
/ he had been the flag carrier of the
/ Post, and his familiar figure in that
capacity will be sadly missed by the
people of Carson He leaves a widow
three daughters and two sons to
mourn his loss; also number of
grandchildren. a brother. Kenneth
McCrimmon, and a nephew Donal.l
McCrimmon, both residing in Oakland
California
John McCrimmon had resided in

good man has gone to his reward.

ternoon at D. m. from the Episcopal
church under the auspices of Custer
Post.
