EARL FAIRCLOTH

Earl Faircloth, 25 years old, died of pneumonia following an attack of the Spanish influenza, at his home in Kellogg last week. He had been ill eight days and his death was a great shock to his family and friends. The day before his death his temperature was normal and it was considered that he was very much improved and that he would recover in a few days. At midnight his condition became worse and he passed away at 1 o'clock.

Earl Faircloth was born on a farm near Kellogg, August 11, 1893, and he had always lived in Kellogg. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Beth Faircloth. He was graduated from the Kellogg high school with the class of 1912 and since that time he had been employed at the Gould Balance Valve company. He was married to Miss Helen Holmdahl, October 15, 1916. He is survived by Mrs. Faircloth and a baby son, Arthur Earl, eleven months old, and his parents, all of Kellogg.
