Elsworth Macumber, former Madison county resident, died Friday, December 8th, in the hospital at Sacramento, California, at the age of 72 years. Mr. Macumber had been in poor health for two years and the last eighteen months he was in the Sacramento hospital.

The deceased was a son of J. A. and Sarah Hartsook Macumber and was born September 9, 1861 in the Macumber homestead in Lincoln township.
