Fort Dodge, Oct. 2S.-Franklin Nc
CURE. the oldest settler in Webster
county. passed away at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Russell MCGUIRE in this
city on Thursday, aged little over rs
years.
When boy, In 1S4s. he came to this
section of the state in company with
Henry Lott, the first white settler in
Webster county. and on the trip from
Des Moines to the section where Fort
Dodge now stands the two men gave
names to localities which remain to the
present day. Mr.. MCGUIRE was
brother-in law of Henry Lott and was
perhaps the only man in this section
who knew the fate of Lott after he
left this section OF the state following
the Spirit Lake massacre for which he
is more or less blamed by the histor-
ians.
