Wm. Huckell, a pioneer of this community died at his home in Sheldon last Sunday after an illness of some little time. Mr. Huckell was well known in Spencer, and had many warm friends.

He learned his trade in his younger days, and worked on a number of the leading publications of the country. For several years he was employed on the Breeders Gazette in Chicago.

Mr. Huckell was married twice, his first wife dying about twenty years ago. To this union six children were born, four boys and two girls, three of them being here for the funeral, Wm. and Albert of Sargant county, North Dakota, and Mrs. Minnie Kellog of Downer's Grove, Illinois.

About eight years ago Mr. Huckell was married to Mrs. Longmore who survives him. Mr. Huckell was born in England in May 1847.
