DEATH OF A PROMINENT YOUNG FARMER

Dick Gray Dies Suddenly at His Home Three Miles East of the Town of Kamrar

Dick Gray, a prominent young farmer living three miles east of Kamrar, died this morning about 1 a.m. after a week's illness with uremic poisoning. He was taken sick a week ago with convulsions. Medical aid was summoned at once and a trained nurse was procured to give him the best possible care, but all that loving hands could do did not avail. He grew weaker steadily until this morning when he passed away. Mr. Gray was born in Germany about 25 years ago. When about 12 years of age he, with his parents, came to America and settled in Kamrar, and since then have lived in or around this place.

In March, 1915, he was married to Miss Bina Klaver. To this union one child, Dorothy, was born in April of this year. Besides his wife and child, a father and mother, two sisters, Mrs. Dick Gelder of Cleves, Idaho, and Henrietta Gray of Kamrar, and three brothers, Stoffer Gray, Webster City, Henry Gray, Bancroft and Arnold Gray, Kamrar, are left to mourn his death.
