St. Charles and Roundabout

Last week an account of the death and burial of Grandma Scrivener was given. This week the public will be pained to learn that her aged husband died suddenly on last Friday, at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lodge, near Bevington. His remains were interred by the side of his wife on Saturday, their funeral being but one week apart. This worthy couple were natives of Kentucky. They came to St. Charles early in the sixties, secured for themselves a comfortable home in South township where they lived respected and died mourned by all who knew them. Their children, three sons and two daughters, are all married and respected citizens of Madison county, and in their double bereavement receive the full sympathy of friends and neighbors.

Note: Burial was made in the Close cemetery.
