Death of David Buchanan.
On Friday last, while at work in the field, David Buchanan of Monticello, Minn., was stricken with an attack of apoplexy. He was found lying on the ground near his team by his son-in-law and at that time was able to speak, and was able to walk with assistance to his wagon, a distance of a few rods. On Saturday he was thought to be improving, but in the night he lapsed into unconsciousness and continued to fail until his death on Tuesday.
The remains were brought to Cresco for interment, the funeral being held from the M. E. church yesterday after¬noon. Will publish obituary later.

OBITUARY.
David Buchanan was born in Ireland, County Antrim, Dec. 28, 1846, died April 27, 1909, at Monticello, Minn., being 63 years 3 months and 27 days old.
In 1848, his parent came to America and located for a time in New York state. In 1865, a fascination for the frontier brought them to Wisconsin and they made a home in Dane County, 20 miles from Madison.
At the age of 26 years, David, in young manhood, glowing with ambition, energy and romance ventured farther west and located in Howard County, Iowa, near Cresco. Here his full manhood was spent for a period of 34 years.
Dec. 11, 1879, he was married to Evelyn Ives. One daughter, Florence, was born of this parentage and on Nov. 11, 1884, the mother died. Four years later Mr. Buchanan married Mrs. Elvy Phillips who died Jan. 23, 1889. On May 17, 1891, he was again married to Mary Jane Webster.
About three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan left their Iowa home and moved to Monticello, Minn., where relatives had previously located.
In 1892, Mr. Buchanan was converted and joined the M. E. church at Bonair, Iowa. His natural temperament was a joyous and generous one and he looked upon this world as a glad, bright, glorious place. After his conversion his faith in the future was upward, trusting and always hopeful. He has been constantly in touch with church and Sunday school work and his life was consistent with his profession. To him this seeming end of life is only the beginning of an outgoing into a greater fullness of life in the eternity beyond. His wife, daughter, two brothers and five sisters survive him.
