nal health. He had been in the en-
plov of the Great Northern Co. fol-
several years and had made his home
at bingham Hotel where his hearty
handclasp and pleasant countenance
with which he greeted everyone will
be greatly missed. Mr.. Ham when
very young man went went. N Isl anu ho
"nlie So' 49,; nins ~ Which greatlv i'm
haired his health causing him to suf-
fer violent attacks of apoplexy. II
was while suffering one of these at
lacks that he passed away The re-
mains were brought here late Thurs
day night and rested in the Frater-
nify Bldg. until Saturday afternoon,
when Masonic Memorial services
were held from the Masonic Hall as
this arrangement had been expressed

Commandery dressed in uniform, a
large number of brother masons of

brother and uncle These relatives
have the sympathies of many friends
