spring festival which can only be

In our last issue we stated that Mr..
Albert Kyburz of near Nauvoo, who
has been seriously i'll with influenza
ing rapidly, but since then the young
mans condition changed for the
worst and death relieved him Of his
,sufferings. He was thirty-six years
| of age at the time of his demise and
leaves to mourn, his wife. little
daughter, aged about seven years,
and an infant son some seven months
old, besides his parents. Mr. and
Mrs. John Kyburz, sisters Misses
Minnie and Bessie, and brother Phil
Hip. His two other brothers died
within few hours Of each other a
short time ago of the same dreaded
disease. Notwithstanding splendid
nursing and the best OF medical at
| tention the young man had to die.
| Such men as he are the glory of the
rural districts. He was an ideal man.
The death OF these three sons OF Mr..
and Mrs. Kyburz comes upon them
like thunderbolt from a clear sky
J or that burns the garnered harvest
with the barn. The young wife and
mother is unconsolable in her grief
over the loss of her husband and
father, and this entire community
sympathize with all the relatives in
this, one of the saddest deaths that
has ever occurred in this section.

his spotless honesty. Such last
tribute of the people is not thing
| to be had for the asking. The funeral
will be distinguished by one of those
tributes of delicate feeling, of good
taste. and sincere respect which from
time to time reminds one Of the vtr-
tues and dignity of the old Nauvoo
family. The remains will be inferred
in the Nauvoo vemetery.
