W. l.. SHEETS DIES AT
HOME IN SEDGWlCN

At the age of 40 years only, Will
liam l.. Sheets died at his tu.zne at 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 70
in Sedgwick after lingering N,ness
of diabetes and creeping paralysis.
Deceased had been afflicted for
about three years, but it was not un-
til last fall that signs of collapse
took possession and he was soon un-
able to get about without assistance,
the past two months being totally
helpless.
OF sturdy build, master carpenter
by vocation. he seemed in the memory
Of those who knew him best as one de-
stined for long life. In his earlie:
days in Sedgwick, besides the duties
of skilled mechanic. he was devotee
to the national game and team man
ager. He was man of high honor
and his word was a sacred obligation.
So patient in his last days knowing
that he was soon to be called, he was
ready in his own way and answered.
the summons peacefully.
Mrs. Sheets and son Clarence sur-
vive him, and they accompanied the
remains last Thursday evening to Full
ton, ILL.,, where he had requested to be
buried.
