The deceased had a bad attack of la grippe which turned into pneumonia, causing his death within a week.

Word was received here one day last week of his illness and his brothers Jack and Pat went at once to his assistance finding him in the hospital at Cherokee, but not in a very serious condition was thought at the time. Pat arrived home Sunday and his was the only report received until Jack arrived with the body Monday morning.
The funeral was held at St. Patrick's church on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, Father O'Reilly celebrating Mass and afterward delivering an excellent eulogy of the life of the deceased.
