was arrested in Potter county where

Friday last at the home of his
son Timothy, in this city, occurred
the death of James Healy, Sr., at the
age of 90 years. Old age and a gen
eral breaking down of the system was
the cause of death. Mr.. Healy was
born in Ireland in 1917 and came to
this country about 60 years ago, locat
ing in Iowa where he made his home
until about four years ago. His wife
preceded him to the Great Beyond
two years ago. Mr.. Healey was a
pleasant old gentleman, one well spok-
en- of by all who knew him. He had
liveda long and useful life. The fun
eral services were held Monday at 10
O'Clock at St. Thomas Catholic church.
Three sons survive him, Timothy,
James, and Joseph, all of this city
and vicinity. To them is extended the
sympathy of all acquaintance.
Kingsbury county has been not
ed for years because of its successful
school system. While we do not de-
sire to detract from the credit due to
our county superintendent, past and
present, we believe that happy con-
dition is partly accounted for by the
fact that the districts have always
elected to the school board some OF
the best men in the district, men who
have taken a great interest in the
work and who give it as faithful con-
