Mr. Freeman had been taken to the home of his brother in the Rapids the first of the week. His condition was not considered dangerous but later complications arose and he entered the hospital for an operation. He died before the physicians could operate. Funeral obsequies were held this afternoon from the Baptist church in Shellsburg at 2 o'clock. Rev Bryden, pastor of the church, was in charge of the services. The body was laid to rest in the Shellsburg cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Andrews, the latter a cousin, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grant of this city attended the funeral. Mr. Grant and Mr. Freeman were cousins.

Will Freeman had spent nearly all his life in Benton county in the vicinity of Shellsburg. He was 54 years of age and had every appearance of perfect health. His death comes as a shock to his family and friends. A wife and four small children are bereft of a kind husband and father. The aged mother survives together with two brothers and a sister and a half brother and sister.

In the death of Will Freem and Benton county has lost a good citizen, a man of kindly thought and deed whom all liked and respected. The entire community mourns his death and he will be sadly missed in the home and in the locality where he had spent nearly all his life.
