Another of the early settlers of this community passed away in the Community Hospital on thursday last in the person of William Patterson Ragan, at the age of 68 years. Deceased came to this district about 33 years ago from Postville, Iowa, and had been a well-known resident here since that time. About three months ago heart trouble and dropsy developed, and these were the cause of death. He leaves a wife and large family to mourn his loss.

The funeral took place on Saturday, service being conducted in Immanuel church by Rev. A.M. Trendell. The floral tributes were beautiful and numerous, and a large crowd attended the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. Frank Lucas, Thos. Toreson, Jas. Scott, Chas. Felland, Geo. L. Gothard and Sam Baxter, and the interment took place in the family plot in the Wetaskiwin cemetery.
