R. E. Murphey received word last week of the death of his brother-in-law, Blaine King, of Haley, North Dakota, following an operation in the hospital at Miles City, Montana.

Portland, Ore.; two daughters, Mrs. Vera Baker, of Haley, N. D., and Mrs. Irene Foster, of Los Angeles, Calif., and several grandchildren; also, he leaves five brothers, Warren J. and Vernon, of Merrill, Iowa; Fred, of Lucas, S. D.; Sam, of Bismarck, N. D., and Abe, of Sioux Falls, S. D.; three sisters, Mrs. Ruth Fletcher, of Burke, S. D.; Mrs. Bessie LaBahn, of Merrill, and Mrs. Evah Brodie, of Le Mars, besides many other relatives and neighbors, who knew him to always be a friend and a good neighbor in time of need.

The funeral was held Wednesday, December 23, and burial was made in the Haley, N. D. cemetery.
