DIED:
Henry Raish, a well known farmer west of town, passed away Wednesday,
November 11, 1914, at about 1:30 p.m., after a brief illness of
appendicitis. Mr. Raish was in town Saturday, doing his trading as
usual, but in the evening complained of not feeling well. About two
years ago he had considered trouble with gallstones and it was thought
to be a return of that affliction. He continued to grow worse Sunday
and was suffering greatly and Sunday morning a doctor was called. He
was found to be suffering from a ruptured appendix and in critical
condition. An operation was performed at the home, but he was past the
relief of any human agency and passed "to that bourne from whence no
traveler returns" at the time above mentioned, surrounded by his
grief-stricken wife and children, to whom the sincere sympathy of the
community is extended.

Deceased came to this vicinity in an early day with his father, J. N.
Raish, a pioneer Akron lumber dealer, who passed away the last of
August.
