Death of Geo. Sears.
George Sears, a former resident of this county and father of Mesdames Anna Doolittle and Harry Pollitt died Sunday night near Decorah where he was running the Trout Run Mill. About a week previous to his death he sustained a small scratch on his hand, to which but little attention was paid as it seemed so inconsequential. However, the scratch became infected and blood poisoning ensued.
The remains were brought to Cresco yesterday where they were met by the Masonic fraternity, Mr. Sears being a member of the Cresco Lodge, and escorted to the Congregational church where the funeral services were held. Interment in Oak Lawn cemetery.
