COmMflOm

mer died quite suddenly at his home
eight miles southeast of Audubon
Monday evening Of. acute uremia.
While he had been ailing practically
all summer no one seemed to realize
the seriousness Of his physical con-
dition. Mr.. RIbel Ind been out of
doors on Sunday and was apparently
feeling better than he had for some
time. He retired Sunday evening and
was going to. have . good nights
rest. However, when he fell asleep,
that night. he was never awakened
from that slumber Monday morning
his little SON went into the bedroom
to call his father to breakfast. The
child told his mother that papa
would not wake up" The mother
then went to his bedside to attempt
to awaken him but her efforts we're
likewise fruitless. This greatly
ALARMED the family who at once sent
for physician. When he arrived II
WalS 1 once discoyGEAd, that Mr..
IRM6ef had passed b 6nd ar human
help, and death was only a question
Of a few hours. He fingered without
rallying until after six O'Clock Mon
day evening. s.4I
The case is particularly sad one
! in that the deceased was still in the
prime of life, and industrious to a
fault. He had done so,nuch to make

lance. The wide circle of friends
Isympathize with the bereaved family
