DIED.--Tuesday morning, August 18, 1891, in Nevada, John Hansell, aged 67 years and 10 months. The deceased was born at Hutton Rugby, England in 1823, where he grew up and married; immigrated to America in 1868 and settled first at Mt. Carroll, Ill., where his wife died shortly after; then he moved to Galena, Ill. and in 1870 came to Nevada where he made his home until his death. He had nine children, of whom eight survive--Thomas, William and Edward, and Mesdames Elizabeth Presnell, Lottie Reynolds, Mary Trask, Margaret Neasham, and Kate Carly. Mr. Hansell was a most industrious man, and worthy citizen. His funeral will be conducted this afternoon by Rev. Danner.
