Mr.. George Wyers died very sud
donly Sunday night at about ten
O'Clock. He was thirty-six years of
some time with a rheumatic trouble
but appeared to be getting much
better from it. Sunday afternoon
Mr.. Wyers suddenly bscame worse
and the attending physician was tele-
phoned. He gave instructions for
treatment; a little later he was again
telephoned that Mr.. Wyers was
unconscious and not many minutes
later that he was dead. 1t is thought
that heart failure must have been the
cause. The roads were so drifted
that it would have been very hard for
the physician to have got to him In
time to have been of any service had
it been realized how critically i'll he
was. Mr.. Wyers leaves two brothers,
Mr.. Joseph Wyer of Madison and Mr..
Fred Wyer OF Alberta County, Cana
da and one sister, Mrs. Toothaker of
Brunswick, Maine. Mr.. Wyer came
here several years ago with his
mother, who lived with him at the
time of his death, and bought the
Enoch Hight place on the Madi-
son road and has been great
worker. He had splendid physique,
weighing over two hundred, tall and
all bone and sinew, heavy work was
play to him and the announcement of
his death was all the more startling
from this very fact. Mr.. Wyers has
made many friends since coming
here, who will mourn him sincerely.

The following was copied from the
New Brunswick, New Jersey, Times
in their editorial upon the death of
DIR. Harris. "Dr. j. N. Harris earned
more money and spent less than the
average man, yet when he died yes
terday morning he was relatively
poor, and he did not regret the in
vestments he had made. Many spec
ulated in stocks and lost both money
and heart, others have put money in
to conservative enterprises and have
