OBITUARY
FRED MACK.
Word was received here Monday
evening that Fred Mack had passed
away at the Anoka Hospital on Thurs
day of the previous week. There
seems to be no satisfactory explana-
tion why the family was not notified
earlier Of his demise. Only recently
Jacob Runck of the, Town Of North
Star a former neighbor and school
mate visited the deceased and he re-
ported him to be in fairly good health
but very uncommunicative.
The deceased was born in the Town
Of Milford January 10, 1860, and was
therefore over 81 years old when he
died. He grew to manhood on his
fathers farm and worked on the farm
quite a number Of years. He worked
one year in the brick-yards. When a
small boy he had the measles and as
a, result he suffered with a weakened
nervous system. He had the same
disease after he was full-grown and
this aggravated his nervous condition
and in time his mind gave way COM
pletely and it became necessary to
send him to the Hospital at St. Peter
for treatment. His condition became
worse instead of better and some years
ago he was transferred to Anoka. He
was committed in October 1883 and
at that time he was a member of the
Governors Guards. Il.
The deceased is survived by his aged
father, Peter Mack, two brothers,
William Of Belview and John of Mil
ford and one sister, Mrs. Bertha Meyer
of New Ulm.

Ulm last evening and if they did ar.
rive the funeral will be held from the
