Wm. R. Ervin of Pierre, S, D., came to our town two or three months ago, to spend the balance of the winter with his wife, who kindly stays with her aged mother, Mrs. McLaughlin, a large part of every year. Mr. Ervin has been in very poor health ever since he has been here, and this afternoon at two o'clock he suddenly died.

Wm. R. Ervin, whose death was reported last week, was a native of Highland, Virginia, born May 1, 1845. He went from there to South Dakota, where he has since resided. He was married to Maggie E. McLaughlin December 9, 1875 and died April 25, 1904. He leaves a wife and one son, Fred, who reached here too late to see the father in life. Mr. Ervin’s young life was spent in the family of S. S. Wade in Virginia, and after all these years, when only five days would have made him sixty years old, they both die so far from their early home, nearly at the same time, and both rest in the same cemetery.
