Death of John Speer

John C. Speer, son of Andrew and Nancy Evans Speer, died at the parental home in Jackson township on Tuesday of last week, being a little past forty years of age. While he had been ill for some time, his illness was not known to be of a serious nature until very recently.

He was a young man who was held in high esteem by those of his acquaintances, and his death while in the prime of life, is a deep sorrow to his aged parents, brothers and sisters.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Mr. Demgree of Earlham, were held on last Thursday, and burial in the Worthington cemetery.

Besides his parents, he leaves four brothers and six sisters.
