The evening following he was obliged to go to bed and remain there. The deceased leaves a wife and two children and numerous other relatives to mourn his untimely death. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, at the house, and was largely attended in spite of the almost impassibe condtion of the roads, which prevented many from being present. The dead man's fmaily and his father and mother have the Mail's sincere sympathy in their sorrow. From the Sheldon Mail.
