The deceased will be remembered as an employee at the Metropolitan hotel last summer. He later went to Arkansas and about three months ago returned home, ill and since then the dread disease has gradually sapped his life blood. He was born in Wisconsin and is survived by his mother, and one brother and two half-sisters, namely: Ellis Stout and Misses Ollie and Phoebe Clift. He was a young man who made warm friends of all his acquaintances among whom his early death is much regretted.
