Maxwell.

Our town suffered quite a loss in the death of O. E. Culver which occurred Dec. 1. Mr. C. was proprietor of the Coding barber shop in Maxwell. He had a good trade and held it well. He had been complaining somewhat but was not thought to be seriously ill. The trouble developed into Pneumonia which soon terminated fatally in a short time. He was only about 30 years of age, and leaved a wife and four small children. His life was insured for $2,000.00.
