GEORGE TRACY PASSES AWAY

George W. TRACY, 1202 South Main street, passed away last night at 11:00 p.m. at the Jefferson county hospital where he had been transferred from the home of his son, Doyle, in Moline, Illinois, in whose home he had suffered a stroke last Friday. He was brought to the hospital Saturday. He had been in failing health the past six months.

Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock (sic) at the Hoskins funeral home with Dr. E. A. Piper in charge. Burial in Evergreen cemetery.

Mr. TRACY, the son of Marion TRACY and Alice ELLER, was born near Brookville on November 21, 1869 and was married to Ida M. CLARK, September 18, 1895, near Brookville. He lived on a farm in that community until 1921 when he moved here. He was employed at the Dexter Company until his retirement ten years ago. He and Mrs. TRACY, who is now a patient at the local hospital, observed their Golden Wedding anniversary Sept. 18, but due to the poor health of Mrs. TRACY, plans for the observance were called off.

He is survived by his wife and three children, Orville TRACY and Mildred of Fairfield and W. Doyle of Moline; one brother, F. W. TRACY of Romona, Calif.; three sisters: Mrs. C. D. LAUGHLIN of Odessa, Missoui (sic), Mrs. Harry BALL and Miss Olive TRACY of Fairfield and several nieces and nephews.
