Letts, Feb. 25 - Death has again visited our community and taken Grandfather Westbrook. He was 85 years, 4 months and 18 days old and was the father of 12 children, had 24 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. His death was caused by the weaknesses of old age rather then by any special disease. The funeral services were held at the U. B. church, conducted by Revs. Cunningham and Miller. The interment took place at the Wagner cemetery.
