JAMES STAUFFER

James Stauffer, aged 36 years, died at the hospital at Rochester, Minnesota, on last Saturday, following an operation for tumor on the bowels.

The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stauffer of Patterson, and for the past few years resided in Chicago. He was taken ill last fall and soon afterward came to Patterson. The operation was undertaken in hope that it might prolong his life but without success. A wife and two small children are bereft by his death. The body was brought here and the burial services held yesterday at Patterson.
