long seige of typhoid and was re-
covering nicely. He rested we'll
Friday night and had no fever
Saturday morning, but was feel
ing cheerful and talked brightly
up to a moment before his death.
Then he gave one gasp and was
gone. His physician states that
heart failure was the cause. He
died at $3.50 o'clock. He was born
at Belleview, Mo-, May 20, 1868,
and came to Murphysboro about
q or % years ago and worked as
clerk in the Big Muddy Coal &
Iron Co. store. After a year or so
he returned to Missouri and after
a time came back to Murphysboro
and worked as clerk and book
keeper for Ben Daniel until about
ten years ago, when he engaged
in business for himself, conduct
ing a grocery store at 1916 Walnut
street and residing at 1887 Walnut.
