Mr.. Gerard was only 48 years of age,

he worked steadily and faithfully at
his trade. July 31st he came to Or

brick masons to work on the new
high school building. He had re-

work just before noontime and said
he was cold and chilly and if he
did not feel better might not return
to work after dinner, thinking that he
only had a cold coming on. Thurs

soon be able to return to work as his
mind was set upon finishing the job.
On Friday morning he did not seem

to carry him home, but the disease
developed so rapidly he was TAX

All the many friends he had made
in Orleans and especially the build
