Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1909-02-25

The irresistible leveler of human life
has again visited this community. This
time our respected citizen, VIM. G.
Uren, was the one chosen, death com
ing to him quite suddenly shortly after
the noon hour last Saturday, Feb 90
The day before Mr. Uren made two
OF three trips from his home down town,
transacted business and chatted with
friends, and that evening perused his
daily paper with interest as was his
custom. Although troubled somewhat
with cold his spirits were good in
fact he seemed better. Some time after
midnight he was seized with illness. At
early morn physician was called who
pronounced it pleura-p pneumonia, and
life ebbed rapidly thereafter.
Mr.. Urep was a native of England
and came to America with his parents
when Z years old. A short time was
spent in New Jersey from where the
family came to Mineral Point, which
place has ever since been the home of
the deceased. He was a man who fol
lowed mining with considerable interest
and in consequence made trips to Cali
fornia, Missouri and Kentucky.
Deceased was % years old the 18th of
last August. He was a perseyering,
quiet citizen, upright in affairs of life,
an indulgent husband and father. His
wife preceded him to the grave about
seven years ago. There survives him
two sons, William of Waldwick anc
Richard, heated in Los Angeles, Cal.
and two daughters, Mrs. Frank james
Of Salt Lake, Utah, and Mrs. Charles
Grange Of this city.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS RECEPTION
Largely Attended and an Unqualified
Success in Every Detail.

The anniversary of the birth o.
Washington (Feb. 22) was selected by
the Commercial Club of this city as
suitable date for the holding OF Its
second annual reception and right wei
was everything planned and prosecuted,
the affair resulting in an unquatitied
success.
The palatial rooms of the club were
grandly decorated by vine, flower, col
ored electric lights and the patriotic
red, white and blue. and the happy
faces and splendid attire of those pres
ent harmonized to perfection. To those
in charge special credit is due.
The program was complete and enter
tanning, the leading feature being an
address by Judge jerks of Dodgeville,
who dwet with clearness and force on
commercialsm and the evils attendant
because of the contention for wealth
and power as evinced in our land of
freedom within the last quarter OF a
century. His pleading at the conclusion
fer honesty, hrctherly love and christian
fortitude was fitting finale.
Substantial refreshments were served
by j. F. Cram at his cafe and proved
delicious and ample. Billiard and card
playing, social converse at the club
rooms and dancing at Masonic Temple
with Alderson's orchestra rounded out
the whole.
The attendance was large and every
body displayed appreciation of the OBJ
ject of the club, that of strengthening
and advancing the interests of Mineral
Point

Oh Death, Untimely!

! 1t is sad duty to chronicle death,
but the duty becomes intensely sad
when called upon to announce the end
ing in the prime of life of one who has
ever been friend and person of
marked ability and integrity. Such is
the position of the Tribune this week,
occasioned by the death of w. r..
Reynolds, which occurred in Chicago
early yesterday morning, Feb. "a.
Deceased was the Oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. B. Reynolds of this city,
and had he lived until next Sunday he
wo 81 have been IS years of age. Will,
as Re knew him, grew to manhood in
Mineral Point. His studious, manly
conduct commanded great respect. He
graduated from our high school and
then from the state university, from
whence he went with honor as stu
dent of electrical engineering.
This was ten or eleven years ago and
he was Immediately employed by the
Chicago Telephone Company. BY I'M
swerving application TO duty and intel
lectual force, he readily became one of
the most appreciated employees of the
company and at the time of his death
was its assistant engineer. The intense
strain during school life and ever after
was too great for one of his physical
strength, hence the untimely death so
saddening to this entire community.
He is survived by his parents, two
brothers, Winfield and Ira. and one sis
ter, Miss Maud, all of whom were with
him at the time of his death Their
loss is great and affection intense, The
body was brought to this city last even
ing for interment in Graceland cemetery
which will take place tomorrow friday
afternoon.
