ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE - Robert Walker, for 25 years a resident in Palo Alto Township, passed away, last Wednesday morning, after a number of weeks' illness with the "grippe."

He was an Englishman by birth but came to America when 30 years of age. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss.

The funeral services were held in the U.P. Church at Wild Cat Grove. Many were in attendance, showing the general respect which was felt for him.
