HEARTS MADE
SAD WHEN DEATH
TAKES LOCAL BANKER
w. LEE CUSSER, GENIAL CASH
TER OF PEOPLES BANK, Sue
CUMBS TO PNEUMONIA.

1t just cannot seem to be true, but
the death wreath hung beside the
door of the house at 303 South Bridge
street. the home of w. Lee Cusser,
genial cashier at the Peoples Saw
inqs bank and an all around favorite
with all who knew him, whose illness
we chronicled in these columns last
week Yes, they said he was dead
and while it did not seem possible that
such splendid fellow could be taken
away from tn community in so short
a time, still there was the wreath
and more than that, there was an air
of genuine sadness and regret follow
ing in the wake of the news as 1T
spread over the city, that Mr.. Cusser
had passed away at O'Clock Satur-
day morning, following an attack CT
pneumonia.
Lees friends first missed him at
the bank when he took cold and had
to remain at home, but it.was consid-
cred a usual light attack of the "fiu'' /,
until his continued absence at the
bank and news of the gravity of his
condition caused his friends grave
concern, but up until Friday evening
the word was passed around that he
was slightly better and would prob
ably come out all right in the battle
which he was putting up against the
disease which had gripped him and
the ravaging progress OF which the
best Of medical science, skill and care
was unable to stay and when news
of the death of this great and popu-
lar man in the business and ccmmun-
ity life came out, it was thunder
bolt out Of a clear sky. 1t is quite
safe to say that no death in recent
wears has caused more expressions
of regret to be heard nor more uni
versal sadness than has the death OF
this popular man.
Mr.. Cusser was 45 years cf age and
had been connected with the Peoples
Savings Bank ever since it started
in 1898, for many years as assistant
cashier and since, 1909 as cashlert
Practically his entire life was spent
in this city, he having been born on
the old Cusser farm east OF here. he
received his education in the local
schools and was graduated with the
class of 1891. He was of a genial
disposition and to make his acquaint-
ance was to make a new friend. He
was SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Cusser, who together with his wife
and two daughters, are left with. the
community to mourn their great loss
His funeral was held Monday af-
ernoon, at 2 o'clock, trcm the house,
Rev. J. w. Rookie, of the Congrega-
tional church officiating. Owing to
the ban on public gatherings it was
of necessity private at the house and
the mortal remains of one of Belding's
best were laid to rest in Riverridge
cemetery, the Masonic fraternity OF
which he was member attending IN
a body and conducting. the services al
the grave where his body was ccm-
mitted to the grave.
Try as we might to produce our
very best in the way Of an eulogy fo1
Mr.. Cusser as a friend of the entire
community, we would fall far short
Of paying him the tribute which mar
like him is entitled to and therefor
the foregoing will have to suffice
We mourn with the rest

Al. WeDDer, a well known man re-
siding on James street and employed

left. hand come into contact with the
knives on one Of the shapers on
which he was working at about 8
o'clock Saturday morning and as a
result the fingers on the hand were
badly cut up, so much so that 1t is at
present thought that several Of them
will have to be taken of He was
taken to the Belding hospital where
Drs. Stanton and Pinkham attended
him and dressed the lacerated parts
properly. The accident will lay Mr..
Webber up for some time while the
healing process is taking place. Mr.,

OT|SCO SOLDIER
GIVES RIGHT LEG
FOR DEMOCRACY
BLOOD POISONING SETS IN THE
WOUND AND MAGISTRATES
AMPUTATION ABOVE KNEE.

Corporal Roy w. Douglas is one
of the Otisco soldiers wno went over
seas whole and who is going to leave
part himself buried in French soil
as result of having to suffer the
amputation of his right leg in an
American hospital in France to which
he had been removed after being
wounded in action.
Corporal Douglas is a son. of Mr..
and Mrs. N G. Douglas and has been
in France for some time He took
part in a number of battles and
about the 1st of October a German
bullet, evidently had his number on
it and it hit him in the right leg, put
ting him down and out and causing
him to be removed to the hospital
where the wound was treated and
where he seemed to be doing fairly
well.
Recently Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas re-
reiyed letter from Roy, dated in
France on Nov. "a, to the effect that
blood poisoning had set in the wound
and that the leg had to be amputated
four inches above he knee, but that
as soon as the wound had healed suf-
ficiently, the surgeons were going to
send him to the nearest Red Cross
hospital in the States where he
would further rest during the period
the amputation found was healing.
1t is sad blow for Mr.. and Mrs.
Douglas as Roy is an only son, but
at the same time both they and the
corporal can feel glad it was only a
leg instead of his life that he gave to
make the world safe for democracy.
By the way, Roy has large num-
Der of friends around here who have
the time to drop him letter and he
would just more than appreciate nice
CHEEKY letters from anyone around
here His address is Corp. Roy

Schooner Is Sunk.

A Canadian Port. - The fishing
schooner Lucille Schnare, of Lunen'
berg, N. s., was sunk by the trawler
Triumph which a German submarine
crew has converted into raider.
Both bombs and gunfire were used.
The crew arrived at Canso. Members
of the crew said the Pasadena, another
fishing vessel. was in the vicinity
when the Schnare was sent to the bot
tom. Although they did not see any
attack upon the Pasadena, they ex.
pressed the opinion that she was sunk
after the Germans had finished with
the Schnare. None of the crew of the
Pasadena had been reported as hav.
