Aged 68 years, Fred Furber passed away at 6 o'clock Thursday evening at his residence, 1027 West street.

Mr. Furber had been in precarious health for some time, but had seemed better. He had just eaten supper in bed and seemed resting comfortably when suddenly, without sign or struggle, the end came.

Ever since he came to Grinnell with his father Joseph B. Furber, sixty-six years ago, Fred Furber has been a resident of this community. He has been honored and respected by all who knew him and is sincerely mourned by a large company of friends.
