Hendrik Fransen, near Middleburg, living at the home of his brother John, died Tuesday at the age of 22 years. He came to this country one and a half years ago from the Netherlands, but was never quite well here, as a result of a severe cold he caught during the journey from Holland. He suffered a long time with asthma and died with lung disease. Funeral services were held Thursday of this week in the Reformed church at Middleburg.
