DIED - At the residence of Wm. C. Powers, Chariton, Iowa, Thursday, November 25, 1886, Mr. John Walter Powers, in the twentieth year of his age.
Deceased was a son of the late John H. Powers, and was born Feb. 10, 1867, about four miles west of Chariton. His death resulted from consumption. Six weeks ago he returned to Chariton from Southern California, where he had gone in the hope of finding relief from the grim Destroyer that was threatening him.
His remains were interred last Saturday in the Grimes cemetery.
