Wednesday, November 2, 1898Ronald Bain died suddenly last Sunday morning at 10 a.m. He was buried on Monday at 2 p.m. by the Odd Fellows, Rev. Riheldaffer the officiating clergyman. He was well advanced in age, and was a very early settler, having come to the county in 1845. Ten years ago, when at work in the court room, by the giving way of the scaffolding, he had a fall that injured his spine and rendered him a mental and physical wreck of his former self. He had always been a steady, industrious, worthy man.
