DEATH TAKES N. H. CONFARE

PIONEER NEVADA CITIZEN DIES AFTER ILLNESS OF MANY MONTHS -- FUNERAL HELD FRIDAY

N. H. Confare died at his home on First avenue on Tuesday night at 6:55. Death was due to anaemia with disease he had been a sufferer for many months and 23 days of age at the time of his death.

Mr. Confare was taken ill about a year ago but kept at his work at the court house until early this fall when his health became so poor that he was forced to give up so his position and remained confined to his home until death relieved his of his suffering.

Practically all of his life had been spent in Nevada or this vicinity. Norm, as he was known to all Nevada residents, had bee serving as caretaker at the court house and county heating plant for the past six years. He occupied this position faithfully and won the esteem of all with whom he came in contact. His many year in the county had served to give him a wide acquaintance and friendship.

He leaves to mourn his death besides his widow one daughter, Miss Elouise Confare of Sac City, Iowa and one sister, Mrs. Frank Phillips of California. The deceased was long a member of the Nevada lodge of Odd Fellows. The body will lie in state at the home on Thursday and the funeral services will be held from the home on Friday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. J. George Walz of Central Presbyterian church. Interment will be made in the Nevada cemetery.
