George Treweek Suddenly Summoned.
Through the mysterious forces that
leveleth humanity Mineral Point has
| had smother sudden and saddening
shock.
One week ago this Thursday morn
ing Mr. George TIeweek, a well
known and respected citizen, was up
early, as was his custom, bubbling
with rheerfulness and energy, and to-
day new mound in Graceland GEM
etery marks his final resting place.
4 George Treweek was son IL our
longtime and respected citizens, Mr..
and Mrs. Nicholas Treweek. He was
born in this city and had he lived until
the LIST of January next he would have
been 43 years old His entire life has
been spent in our midst Twenty-one
years ago the 7th of this month he was
united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth

II years of age survive him, together
with IHs parents, one brother, Joseph
of Roberts, Wis. and four sisters

Mrs. Jones, who could not get here.
Deaths messenger came with unre-
lenting swiftness. Thursday morning.
Nov. II, George left his home st the
customary early hour for his black
smith shop feeling as well as usual.
Being a cheerful, willing toiler he went
at his work in that spirit without delay.
Industry and accomplishment seemed
to be his motto But he had not been
engaged long ere he was sliced vio-
lently with an attack Of hernia, an all
ment which had bothered him some be-
fore. For brief period he laid pros
tate Oh the floor of his shop r'rithing
in pain, during which time the young |
man employed by him was in quest of
assistance With the aid OF others he |
arose and managed to walk to DR..
Gratiot's office. While there his dis
tress was of the most intense nature.
The doctor, after administering such |
relief as he could, rushed him to his |
home by auto, thence to the hospital at
Dodgevile for immediate operation,
which WAS performed before the dinner
hour. throughout the remainder of
that G.}f the unfortunate man seemed
to be.Yng as we'll as could be ex-
pected ION Friday however, there
was change for the worse. Pneu- |
nlonia had set in with such force that
at aboUe- 8 O'Clock that evening George |
breathed his last.
The shock to the immediate relatives
was of degree that cannot be por
trayed in words. They were engulfed
in grief, and for them springs from
every nook and corner of our city the
purest sympathy that ever flowed
from human hearts.
George Trewoek was a spienid fell
low, manly man. No one Of this
community was more ready to extend |
cheer ard help than he, regardless Of
stength, time or cost He was a kind
husband and father, dutiful son and
good neighbor. He was honest, indus
trious pnd prosperous to a reasonable
extent, which he fully merited. He
viii be missed by all acquaintance
and they were many.
The suneral, which took place Tues
day afternoon, was very largely at
tended. Odd Fellows and MaSons were
well p4presented in body form. At
the home Rev. W. j G. Bond ofiiciated
in a most eloquent, sympathetic and
eondoling vein Here the Odd Fellows
also gave their beautiful and appro
pirate cermony, while at the grave
the Mssons rendered their impressive
and uplifting burial service.
