Otto Schabillion, of Columbus City who had been a great sufferer for more than two years, quietly passed away Tuesday afternoon. His trouble was some bone disease, with which one of the lower limbs, and later his whole body was affected. Several operations were performed but only gave temporary relief. While his sufferings were almost unendurable, yet he was very patient and seldom complained. He leaves a large family to mourn his death, besides the wife, who had constantly cared for him during his illness. There are five boys and three girls. They are Carl, Alpheus, Harold, Clark, Lester, Flora, Sibyl and Dessa, all at home. Miss Flora, who teaches school near Oakville, did not reach home until after her father's death. Funeral services Friday at 10 o'clock from the U. B. church at Columbus City.
