FRANK COLESON DIED SUDDENLY

Frank COLESON passed away suddenly this morning at ten minutes after three o'clock at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. A. V COLESON on South Main street. His death is unusually sad .

Mr. COLESON was 31 years of age and was just reaching the prime of his young manhood. He had been suffering from the white plague for several years and had spent some time in Sunny Texas hoping to regain his health. His condition was not regarded as serious until a few hours before his death.

Mr. COLESON was united in marriage to Miss Maude DOYLE of Fairbury, Ill., nine years ago. To them were born three children, two sons Merwin and Ralph and a daughter Margaret who with their mother survive. Besides his little family, Mr. COLESON is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. V COLESON, five sisters, Miss Olive COLESON of Chicago, Misses Maude, Ellen, Hattie and Edith who are at home, and four brothers, Lawrence (sic - Laurence) of Johnson, North Dakota, and Emmett, Paul and Bernard who are at home.

No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral, as relatives from a distance are expected. It is probable that the last services will not be held until Friday or Saturday.
