DEAD.— K.K. Carver, the genial engineer on the Milwaukee road, died at his home in Turkey River Sunday morning. Mr. Carver had been ailing some time with heart disease, but none of us thought he was so near the end of his run.

He was buried at Dubuque under the auspices of the Masons.

Note: Served in Co. G, 76th Ind. Inf.
