came to this county IN 1895 and has
been a resident of the beach ever since.
He was married to Clara Emelia job
anson In 1908. About two weeks ago
he was stricken with what seemed to be
a slight attack of tonsilitis and quincy.
His condition rapidly became serious
and on Friday morning, April 10th,
he succumbed to what had developed
into pneumonia. AS captain OF the
schooner Clara he was well known
and very popular among the fisher
men of the beach and was held In high
esteem by all who knew him. He
was a devoted member Of Holy Trinity
Lutheran church and his loss will be
deeply felt by all. He lie survived and
incurred by his wife, two sons, two
daughters. his parents, four brothers
and two sisters. The floral offerings
by the various societies and his many
friends were handsome, especially the
full rugged floral schooner presented by
the fishermen OF the beach. The beau

were left to remain for this service, so
that the last tribute might be paid him
among the scenes he would have en-
I0yed had 1t been his privilege to be
there on Sunday.
