Came To This County When Thirteen Years Old; Lived on Same Farm 58 Years

James LIBLIN died last night at 8:30 o'clock at his home near Salina after a several weeks illness.

He was born in France and came to this country when a small lad, five years old, and with his parents settled in St. Louis, where they lived eight years and then came to Cedar township.

Mr. and Mrs. LIBLIN have resided on the same farm where Mr. LIBLIN passed away, for 8 years, and they are a highly respected family of this county. This is the first death that has occurred in their immediate family.

Funeral services will be from the home at 9:00 o'clock (sic) Monday morning and will be in charge of Rev. E. F. Gaule of St. Mary's Catholic church.
