Death OF Christopher Beck.

The death of Christopher Beck last
Friday evening was not unexpected
to those who had watched the wan
ing strength of this grandold pioneer,
perhaps, next to the Oldest man in
the county, death releasing him at 10
O'Clock after having lived more than
"a years. He had made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. Ross, for sew
eral years, and was tenderly cared for
during the sickness that closed his
long life. The funeral took place
last Sunday from the Congregational
Church and interment was made in
the old Beloit Cemetery. Rev. G. s.
Evans officiating.
Christopher Beck came to Beloit,
Iowa, in 1876, and lived there for a
long time before removing to Canton.
Eight children survive the aged pio-
neer, his wife passing away about 8
years ago. His son Alexander and a
daughter Mrs. Ross are residents of
Canton, with whom he passed the
closing years of his life In quiet and
in comfort.

Col. J. M. Greene of Chamberlain was
found dead in his room Wednesday

to the Widmam hotel where he found
a cordial reception. He was a veteran
of the civil war and was a member of
the National republican committee
for s years, retiring upon the election
of Mr.. Thorson Of this city. 1t is
with great sorrow that we make this
announcement as we had been friends
for over 20 years.
