formerly from Sibley, Iowa, or from

steader of Goevey township and lived
on the farm until last year when he
bought a home in Sanborn.

called upon to mourn the death of

four days and everything was done

sympathy during the saddest hours
of their trial, which Mr.. and Mrs.
Denevan fully appreciate.
