DIED,

SLAWSON—At Madison, Dakota, Oct. 8th, 1886 Frank M. Slawson, aged nearly thirty years.

The deceased was one of the best known and most highly respected of our business men, while in the drug business in Cresco. A few months since he sold out here and established himself in the drug trade in company with Will O’Brien at Madison. About three weeks ago he was taken sick with fever, and although every thing that medical skill could do with the watchful care of friends, was done, to ward off and keep back the king of terrors without avail. His remains were brought to Cresco for interment, the funeral occurring from the Rink Tuesday afternoon under the management and control of the Masonic order of which the deceased was a bright and honored member. With his many sorrowing friends and relatives and his widow in her sorrow and loneliness there is universal sympathy.
