Death of H. G. Day

After an illness of several months H. G. Day editor and proprietor of the Albert Lea Standard, died at his rooms in Hotel Freeborne, Albert Lea, Tuesday, April 14, aged 69 years, 8 months and 29 days.

Deceased was a resident of Estherville for ten years from 1868 to 1878, as a practicing lawyer and a portion of the time assisted his brother, Frank Day, in the publication of the Northern Vindicator. From 1870 to 1871 he was a member of the legislature from this district comprised at that time of Emmet, Dickinson, and Emmet [sic] counties. He later moved to Lainsboro, Minnesota, and thirty years ago bought the Standard at Albert Lea, which paper he edited until his death.

Mr. Day was a conscientious and worthy citizen. He was in Estherville at the old settlers’ meeting in September 1912 and was the guest of Mrs. Emma G. Allen and Mr. and Mrs. James Espeset. This was his last visit to this city and at that time expressed to the write his great admiration for Estherville and great respect for the old settlers.

A wife, two sons, and a daughter and two brothers survive him.
