OBITUARY
PORTER.

At his home 12 miles northwest of the city, William Porter, one of the early settlers of the county, died on Sunday. Mr. Porter was born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1817 and came to this country in '44. He leaves a number of children to mourn his loss. It is not known what was the cause of his death, but it is supposed it was general decline, owing to his advanced age. The funeral took place today from his home.
