A telegram received this morning by
E. B. Clinton, secretary Of Banner
lodge, No. 1913. |. Q. OF, announces
the accidental death at Oakland. Cal,
Thursday OF Bert Holicroft, formerly
of this city
The telegram, which was from l.. K.
Noe, president of the Odd Fellows re-
lief committee of Oakland. was to the
effect that Hollcroft had been killed
there and that it was believed he was
this city.
Referred to T.-R. For Identification.
AS the secretary's books Of the local
lodge contained no such name Mr.
Clinton referred the message to the
T.-R. for Identification knowing that
one Bert Hollcroft, several years ago,
was employed as a motorman on the
MarshaMtown-.Light, Power and Rail-
way Company, and that he still had
relatives in this city, the latter were
communicated with. resulting in the
belief that there can he no doubt Of the
identity of the man dead at Oakland.
Hollcroft was at one fine a member OF
the /. o. O. F. lodge here, but his mem
bership was withdrawn several years
ago.
Cause Of Death Unknown.
AS the message to Mr.. Clinton did
not give the cause of death the T.-R.
wired Oakland, but up to a late hour
had received no reply. owing in all
probability, to the great congestion OF
the wires due to the Chicago conyen-
ton. The Bert Hollcroft formerly liv-
ing here was brother-in-law Of Mrs.
Frank Sheffield. 5O7 North First
avenue and Edward Mills, 21o South
Eighth street. Nothing, however. has
been heard from Hollcroft by the rela-
tives here for several years. He was
known to have gone west, and few
years ago was at Kansas City. Kan.
Worked Here Several Years.
Hollcroft was employed by the Mar.
shalltown Eight, Power and Railway
Company here several years. and for
about four SyeArs was engaged as a
motorman. While employed here he
took as his wife Miss Maude Mills, Of
this city. The couple finally separated,
and nine years ago HoHcroft left the
city. His, former wife is now living in
Portland. The couple had one child.
but it died. 80 -usi y.. =
