Claud Main Lake City Graphic Claude Main was born in Pulaski county, Ind. Feb. 2d. 1881 and died Oct. 1st 1901 near Trosky, Minn. Being 20 years 7 months and 29 days old at the time of his death. When about one year old he moved with his parents to Gifford, Ill. where he lived until he was seven. His parents then moved near Sidney, Neb. Where they remained for eight years and moved to Farnhamville six years ago. While in Nebraska he united with the M. E. church but after moving to Iowa attended the Presbyterian church. This is a particularly sad death coming so suddenly and from the fact that he was away from home and met his death in such a horrible way. It is hard to bear when the old die after a life of usefulness but when the light of a young mind goes out the affliction seems greater than we can bear. Claud was an industrious young man with good habits. His father, mother six brothers and one sister and a host of friends mourn his loss. The funeral services were held in the Cong. Church Thursday, Rev. A. G. Washington officiating. The remains were interred in Reading cemetery. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.
