Death of Elmore Laughlin.
Friends and acquaintances of Elmore Laughlin, of this place, were deeply pained to learn of his sudden death in Chicago last Saturday morning, caused by an attack of la grippe. His sickness reached an alarming stage on Thursday, and his sister Miss Lillie, of Colfax, this state, was summoned. She reached there a few hours before his death. The remains were forwarded to Postville Monday, and funeral services conducted by Rev. Burton were held at the Congregational church Tuesday forenoon. Elmore was in his 24th year and was the remaining one of five boys of Mr. Laughlin's family. A bereaved father and four sorrowing sisters mourn the demise of their loved one.
