Orono, November 12- On Tuesday, November 6, 1900, the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Trautman and bore away the spirit of their son, Ernie, the eldest of their beloved children. He had been in declinning health for some time. Some months ago he went to California and spent some time there thinking that the climate would be beneficial to him, but he did not derive the benefit expected and death claimed him for its own. The funeral was held from the Reformed church Thursday and the remains laid to rest in the Conesville cemetery.
